5--> The Lone Wanderer of ''Fallout 3''.
6* ''Fanfic/JauneArcLordOfHunger'': The first thing that Professor Peach says to Jaune after he wakes up in the hospital is "You're awake... How 'bout that." This is also Doc Mitchell's first line to the Courier during the tutorial of ''VideoGame/FalloutNewVegas''.
7* ''FanFic/NobodyDies'':
8** Chapter 26: Evangelion Provisional Unit 05 ("Go-kun") is ''Liberty fucking Prime.''

29* ''Series/{{Castle|2009}}'': "The Invisible Man" reveals that the US government has started researching stealth armor, but is significantly behind the Chinese, who have already started making them. Quite reminiscent of the state of affairs in the ''Fallout'' universe.
30* ''Series/PersonOfInterest'': In "A House Divided", the computer showing [[spoiler:Vigilance's show trial of Finch, Greer, and Control]] initially has a test pattern on its screen saying "Please Stand By", one that looks remarkably similar to one of the initial loading screens of ''Fallout''.
31* The cold open to "The Grove" episode in ''Series/TheWalkingDead2010'', with Music/TheInkSpots' song "Maybe" playing on the soundtrack, is very much in the style of the original ''Fallout'', going from a wholesome kitchen setting to reminding that there's a zombie apocalypse underway. You almost expect Creator/RonPerlman to narrate how war never changes when the opening credits roll.

39* Quite a few in ''VideoGame/HenryStickminSeries'':
40** In ''Infiltrating the Airship'', when going for the ''Pure Blooded Thief'' route. If all hell breaks lose in the Airship, [[VideoGame/{{Fallout3}} the Brotherhood of Steel's]] PowerArmor is one of his options for escaping.
41** In ''Completing the Mission'', when undertaking the ''Toppat King'' route. The UI for the Very Advanced Targeting System is similar to that of the V.A.T.S. system.

49** The Boss being placed in a virtual reality of a sunny, quaint American town from [[TheFifties the fifties]] bears uncanny resemblance to the 'Tranquility Lane' simulation from ''VideoGame/{{Fallout 3}}''.
50** The "Control Interface Drones" look like Eyebots.
51** [[http://images.wikia.com/saintsrow/images/3/38/Weapon_-_Pistols_-_Heavy_Pistol_-_DEK-RD_Railpistol_-_Default.png DEK-RD Railpistol]],is not only a reference to Deckard's pistol from ''Film/BladeRunner''[[note]]The same pistol is also referenced in the ''Fallout'' series[[/note]], but it also has a [[https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/saintsrow/images/d/da/SRIV_Pistols_-_Heavy_Pistol_-_DEK-RD_Railpistol_-_Bloody_Mess.png Bloody Mess]] skin.
52** [[http://images.wikia.com/saintsrow/images/9/9c/Weapon_-_Shotguns_-_Semi-Auto_Shotgun_-_TAK-10_Streetsweeper_-_Dust_Devil.png Tak-10 Streetsweeper]] - Possibly a reference to the combat shotgun from ''VideoGame/{{Fallout 3}}'' and ''VideoGame/FalloutNewVegas''.
53* ''VideoGame/TeamFortress2'': The Mann Vs. Machine achievements aren't any slouches in shout outs and/or bad puns, including the "Brotherhood of Steel."
54* ''VideoGame/{{Wasteland 2}}'':
55** One piece of junk is a [[VideoGame/{{Fallout 1}} Control Chip #13]] that according to the description is an exceedingly rare item designed for controlling water systems.

65** Calling [[Film/StarTrekGenerations Soren]] [[VideoGame/{{Fallout 3}} President Eden]].
66** And ANOTHER reference to Three Dog in his review of Avatar: The Last Airbender's "Water". Chuck is a huge fan of ''Fallout'' and it shows.
67* ''WebVideo/PhilosophyTube'': In a wonderful bit of BlackComedy in "HBO's Chernobyl & Personal Responsibility" , during a shot when Anatoly Dyatlov [[VomitIndiscretionShot graphically throws up]], [[Franchise/{{Fallout}} a Pip-Boy indicator appears, reading "Your radiation level has increased."]]
68* ''Roleplay/{{Starpath}}: Journey Across the Galaxy'':
