23* ''WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender'': The second season episode "[[Recap/AvatarTheLastAirbenderCityOfWallsAndSecrets City of Walls and Secrets]]" features a gag involving an odd man absent-mindedly sucking on a corncob. According to ''Avatar'' co-creator Bryan Konietzko, who had been an art director on ''Invader Zim'', this was a reference to the latter show. Since he didn't specify, fans are unclear which moment it references, as there are several corn jokes in ''Zim''. The most likely candidate, however, is the scene in "[[Recap/InvaderZimS2E8GazTasterOfPork Gaz, Taster of Pork]]" where Dib talks to a "dirty hobo" holding a corncob.
