History ShoutOut / TrollsTheBeatGoesOn

* The background music at the ending of "Branch Bum" is made to sound like the ''Film/PiratesOfTheCaribbean'' theme song.

* "Three Troll-keteers" is clearly a parody of ''Film/ThreeAmigos''.

** "Scrap to the Future" - ''Film/BackToTheFuture''

** The witch's time machine in Keith's story from the first episode is another reference to ''Film/BackToTheFuture''.

* The stories told in the "Trolly Tales" episodes are adaptations of fairy tales, greek myths and nursery rhymes, with the names of the characters from the former two often being a pun between those from the original stories' characters and the Trolls who play the characters. Keith's story in the second episode, however, stands out by starting with like a myth and then jumping to a huge reference to ''Film/StarWars''.

* The entire plot of "Mr. Glittercakes" is a reference to the ''Series/Mash'' episode "[[Recap/MashS1E15Tuttle Tuttle]]".
