94!!Other Works:
95
96* ''Webcomic/TwentyFirstCenturyFox'' is full of various references and shout outs, to the point we'd need an entire page just to list them. The most common ones include classic songs ("White Cliffs of Dover"), various SciFi movies and the works of Creator/GilbertAndSullivan.
97* ''Webcomic/AkumasComics'' has plenty of these, taking place in a MassivelyMultiplayerCrossover verse, but [[BigBad The Undertaker]] stands out as one big ShoutOut to... well, [[Wrestling/TheUndertaker guess]]. Other than the name, his sprites are recolors of Wrestling/{{Kane}}, his evil organization is called [[Wrestling/MinistryOfDarkness The Ministry]], he [[http://www.mgcomics.com/AkumaTh/ATH/index.php?ep=1088370992 uses a chokeslam]] in his first appearance, and his finisher is called the [[http://www.mgcomics.com/AkumaTh/ATH/index.php?ep=1088371113 Super Tombstone]]. Which is like a regular Tombstone, only from ten feet up and [[IncendiaryExponent on fire]]. This gets lampshaded in this first appearance, where Akuma mistakes him for a Kane cosplayer. [[note]]That said, this gets far less excessive after his first appearance, as he gets a more varied moveset thanks to his [[MegaManning specialty]].[[/note]]
98--> '''Akuma:''' Nice costume, but Kane doesn't wear a mask anymore...
99--> '''Undertaker:''' I'm not Kane. I'm Wrestling/TheUndertaker! And don't you dare say "I don't look like him!"
100* A 2005 ''Webcomic/AntiheroForHire'' mentions "[[Series/DoctorWho the Eccleston effect forming across the D-W matrices]]".
101* ''Webcomic/ArthurKingOfTimeAndSpace'':
102** Many secondary characters are based on other comic characters, including Elaine of Carbonek, who is [[Webcomic/{{Narbonic}} Helen B. Narbon]], with her loyal knight Sir Bromell as Mell (a [[GenderFlip male Mell]] in the baseline arc).
103** Merlin's magical incantations are [[{{Wingdinglish}} English phrases in Greek script]], usually from appropriate 20th century sources. For example, the incantation to [[http://www.arthurkingoftimeandspace.com/2004.htm trap someone in a cave]] is "[[Franchise/WinnieThePooh Both please, but never mind the bread]]". The one to [[http://www.arthurkingoftimeandspace.com/0466.htm intentionally initiate a jump to another arc]] is "[[Series/StargateSG1 Seventh chevron encoded]]".
104** Merlin's [[http://www.arthurkingoftimeandspace.com/2489.htm rambling when trapped in the Crystal Cave]] include insisting Gawaine is "unbalanced" with gold and silver in the same pouch, and something about oysters, just like Literature/SherlockHolmes in "The Adventure of the Dying Detective".
105** The superhero arc is an extended ShoutOut to various superhero characters and tropes, mostly obvious (Kingman is ComicBook/{{Superman}}, White Night is ComicBook/{{Batman}}), but also subtler (one storyline features [[http://www.arthurkingoftimeandspace.com/1752.htm Percivale as Kingman's lawyer]]; no mention is made of a heroic identity, but [[ComicBook/{{Daredevil}} he's blind]]).
106*** The space arc's Ancient Greece is also full of superhero {{Shout Out}}s: Hercules is ComicBook/{{Superman}}, Arachne is ComicBook/SpiderMan, etc...
107** [[http://www.arthurkingoftimeandspace.com/2808.htm One strip]], in which Arthur asks Merlin if there are other groups of people going through the same adventures in different time periods, features ''Series/{{Sherlock}}''[='=]s Sherlock Holmes and ''Series/TheAdventuresOfSherlockHolmes''[='=]s Dr Watson.
108* ''Webcomic/AwfulHospital'': Several, most recently [[http://www.bogleech.com/awfulhospital/476.html a monster in the distance]] resembling [[Manga/TheEnigmaOfAmigaraFault the Fault Victim]], but also including [[http://www.bogleech.com/awfulhospital/072.html a poster]] depicting [[WesternAnimation/GravityFalls Bill Cipher]], which has [[http://www.bogleech.com/awfulhospital/201.html reappeared]] at least [[http://www.bogleech.com/awfulhospital/478.html twice]] now.
109* ''Webcomic/BasketsOfGuts'':
110** [[http://pre12.deviantart.net/1275/th/pre/i/2014/195/a/3/_131_by_joe_duncan-d7qlwqs.jpg Maria]] is a [[Franchise/SuperMarioBros sewer system worker]]. She even has that very uniform.
111** Sons of TheDon and their two friends are [[http://acomics.ru/upload/!c/JoeDuncan/baskets-of-guts/000166-3820wifnvz.jpg a four-man band of quite dashing hooligans]]. With canes. And if that's not enough, one of them sports [[Literature/AClockworkOrange very noticable makeup]].
112** [[http://acomics.ru/upload/!c/JoeDuncan/baskets-of-guts/000116-ovd4qrbtf7.jpg Image cover]] of Chapter 3 is one to Franchise/{{Conan|TheBarbarian}}.
113** [[http://acomics.ru/upload/!c/JoeDuncan/baskets-of-guts/000595-21gmb1fstn.jpg Cover]] of Chapter 8 parodies [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Woman_with_a_Parasol_-_Madame_Monet_and_Her_Son ''Woman with a Parasol'' by Claude Monet]].
114** Paraanatomists on the last panel of [[http://acomics.ru/upload/!c/JoeDuncan/baskets-of-guts/000300-0vpbbhczam.jpg this strip]] resemble [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Anatomy_Lesson_of_Dr._Nicolaes_Tulp "The Anatomy Lesson of Dr. Nicolaes Tulp" by Rembrandt]].
115* ''Webcomic/BatmanWayneFamilyAdventures'':
116** In episode 4, "Alert", Batman and Red Hood mimic [[Memes/SpiderMan the famous "pointing Spider-Men" meme]].
117** The second part of the "Crush" [[MultiPartEpisode three-parter]] has Stephanie quote the [[Series/KeepingUpWithTheKardashians "You're doing amazing, sweetie!" meme]].
118** Episode 22, "The Tournament", features two shout-outs. The first is Damian and Duke's [[LessonsInSophistication etiquette training]], the moment a reference to a similar scene from Film/ThePrincessDiaries. The second is the game the Batkids play for the tournament, a rather obvious ''VideoGame/MarioKart'' expy.
119** In episode 53, "Online", one of the webpages Barbara pulls up is a video titled "BATGIRL CRASHES MY PARTY?!", the video featuring a boy in a yellow shirt and backwards blue cap, a clear reference to the [[VideoGame/PokemonRubyAndSapphire RSE]] and [[VideoGame/PokemonGoldAndSilver HGSS]] iterations of the Youngster class from ''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}''.
120** One of the final panels of the "Win or Lose" two-parter is Red Hood walking towards his motorcycle, the framing of the panel a near exact duplicate of Kaneda walking towards his bike from the iconic poster of ''Manga/{{AKIRA}}''.
121** The title of episode 108, "There Can Only Be One", references the iconic {{Tagline}} and ArcWords of the ''Franchise/{{Highlander}}'' series.
122** Episode 111, "Haley", after Tim says the Haley is "too cute for your own good", Dick says thank you. Tim proceeds to respond with the "I could not have been more clearly talking to the dog." quote from ''Series/BrooklynNineNine''.
123* ''Webcomic/TheBedfellows'':
124** "My Little Donkey" in the "Jacked Ass" cartoon is a parody of ''Franchise/MyLittlePony'' and especially ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic''.
125** The "Keys Keys Keys" music video is a parody of "Get Low" by Music/LilJon.
126** The game played in "Two Friends Play Frenzy" is similar to ''VideoGame/{{Rampage}}''.
127* ''Webcomic/{{Beeserker}}'':
128** Many, usually (but not exclusively) to video games. The list includes [[http://www.beeserker.com/comics/professor-yellow/ Pokémon]], [[http://www.beeserker.com/comics/hand-cannon/ Mega Man, Metroid,]] [[http://www.beeserker.com/comics/mother-bee/ Metroid again,]] and [[http://www.beeserker.com/comics/the-collector/ The Little Mermaid]].
129** Chapter 3 is titled "A Tale of Two Scootsies", which references ''Literature/ATaleOfTwoCities''.
130* ''Webcomic/BetterDays'':
131** The title of Chapter 9, about one of Lucy's peers dating her to get a stab at her mom, was appropriately titled [[StacysMom "Lucy's Mom"]]
132** The hospital shown late in the comic is named after singer Grace Jones as an InJoke between Naylor and a friend. Another Jones appearance appears in ''Webcomic/OriginalLife''.
133* ''Webcomic/BeyondTheEnd'' references the famous ''Franchise/{{Devilman}}'' [[https://beyondtheend.gay/index.html?pg=2040#showComic "it's laced with drugs" scene]].
134* See if you can spot the sneaky visual ShoutOut in [[http://www.biggercheese.com/index.php?comic=665 this ''Bigger Than Cheeses'' strip]]. (Answer: [[spoiler:That's unmistakably a [[ComicStrip/TheFarSide Gary Larson]] cow]].)
135* ''Webcomic/BittersweetCandyBowl'' once had a huge number of them, but they have tapered off in recent times.
136** ''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}'', ''Anime/DiGiCharat'', and ''VisualNovel/PhoenixWrightAceAttorney'' references are scattered all throughout the comic.
137** David apparently watches ''Anime/TengenToppaGurrenLagann''.
138** Apparently, Taeshi [[http://www.bittersweetcandybowl.com/c35/p4.html reads]] ''Webcomic/LackadaisyCats''.
139** [[http://www.bittersweetcandybowl.com/c62/p17.html I'm feeling]] a [[Manga/DeathNote Light Yagami]] vibe...
140** Lucy's Halloween costume is a shoutout to a genre-shifted roleplay on the forums, where Lucy's expy was a vampire with that exact design.
141* ''Webcomic/BlownAway'' features appearances from a [[BlatantLies friendly]] face who likes to go inside [[VideoGame/{{Minecraft}} Cubic houses]]
142* ''Webcomic/BlueYonder'':
143** Kevin observes [[http://www.blueyondercomic.net/comics/1332262/blue-yonder-chapter-1-page-34/ he's faster than a speeding bullet, but not that much faster.]]
144** Having code-named Jared "Chicken Little", Black Dog [[http://www.blueyondercomic.net/comics/1361050/blue-yonder-chapter-1-page-39/ tells him the sky has fallen]].
145* ''Webcomic/BobAndGeorge'': "Oh god, I hope it's not Superman, he's a [[SuperDickery dick]]."
146* ''Webcomic/BoyAndDog'':
147** When Rowan hears a story which features a man "drawing his saber", he imagines a lightsaber from ''Franchise/StarWars''.

150* Buster from ''Webcomic/BusterWildeWeerwolf'' watches ''Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer'' in [[http://www.furnation.com/busterwilde/comics/buster037.gif this page.]]
151* A sort of a ''Manga/{{Naruto}}'' shout out appears in ''Webcomic/TheCartoonChroniclesOfConroyCat'' when Doggy is training Conroy how to be a toon. Conroy [[LampshadeHanging comments how it sounds a lot like chakra from Naruto]]. And is immediately [[AmusingInjury hit whit a crow-bar for it]].
152* ''Webcomic/CassiopeiaQuinn'':
153** The AltText present for all strips consists of quotes taken from a variety of science fiction stories.
154** The gelatin blobs the vanaa are seen eating in [[http://www.cassiopeiaquinn.com/comic/the-seat-of-your-pants-coda-the-vanaa one page]] include one containing a tiny VideoGame/{{metroid}}.
155** When asked how many famous "space people" she's met, Cassiopeia recalls an encounter with [[Series/DoctorWho the Fourth Doctor]], is one of the bounty hunters present when [[Franchise/StarWars Darth Vader]] sent them after the ''Millennium Falcon'' and stealing scientific secrets while witnessing an argument between [[Anime/TenchiMuyo Hakubi Washu]], [[WesternAnimation/RickAndMorty Rick Sanchez]] and [[WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}} Doctor Farnsworth]].
156** [[http://www.cassiopeiaquinn.com/comic/casinopeia-page-7 This page]] is a giant Literature/WheresWaldo of sci-fi references, with people visible in the casino crowd including [[Franchise/MassEffect a krogan]], [[VideoGame/DawnOfWar Farseer Taldeer]], WesternAnimation/LiloAndStitch and [[WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}} Hedonism Bot]].

158** When the orphan kids are tasked by their teacher with selecting a book for class study, Nisa picks ''Literature/TheLordOfTheRings'', which she mistakes for a historical novel.
159** One of the alien species present in the galaxy is the Green Men, ''Ares tarkas'', four-armed, tusked, green-skinned humanoids from Literature/{{Barsoom}}.
160* ''Webcomic/{{Chicanery}}'' is overflowing with corny pop culture references. For starters, two story arcs are largely parodies of ''VideoGame/ParasiteEve'' and ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolid''.
161* ''Webcomic/CityOfTrees'':
162** The song playing in the opening club scene is "Monsters" by Ruelle, the same song used in the opening of '''''[[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Series/Shadowhunters Shadowhunters]]''''', a reference to the webcomic's fanfiction roots.
163** Malik Nazari's cleric certificate is signed by Leonard [=McCoy=] and Beverly Crusher, both doctors from ''Franchise/StarTrek''.
164* ''Webcomic/CogaNito'' has a few musical Shout-Outs [Wonderwall, Red Special, Smooth Criminal] that are themselves a Shout Out to ''Manga/JojosBizarreAdventure'' and its various musical Shout Outs, especially when you consider that Pieces resemble Stands.
165** An Easter Egg early on in Chapter One is a direct reference to 'It was me, Dio!'
166** The Corpse and the main character's ability being spinning-related put one in mind of the Steel Ball Run arc in particular.
167** When Niko is introduced to Robin, she makes a remark about [[Manga/OnePiece 'like the strawhat']] when she hears how their names sound together.
168* ''Webcomic/{{Comc}}'' has a few, including [[https://sites.google.com/site/comccomic/archive/comc31 this]] str'p featuring an XDaysSince sign that is a shoutout to Webcomic/{{xkcd}}'s [[http://xkcd.com/363 example]] of the same trope:
169--->'''Sign:''' 38 days since someone reset this xkcd reference
170* ''Webcomic/CreativeRelease'', an interactive metafiction webcomic, contains a lot of more or less subtle shout outs.
171** Turn 006’s glass shards [[spoiler: and broiler element]] refer to ''Anime/{{Penguindrum}}''.
172** Turn 006 and 007’s doors, which seemingly each lead to the acquisition of a specific form of magic, refer to the first room of ''VideoGame/KingdomHeartsI''.
173** Turn 009’s end card simultaneously refers to ''Anime/{{Penguindrum}}'' and ''Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion''.
174** Level 01’s title is “[[Literature/TheChroniclesOfNarnia The Scientist, the Witch and the Con Artist]]”.
175** Turn 010 is a homage to ''Webcomic/{{xkcd}}''. “Minimalist mode: ON”
176** Given the number of Shout Outs to ''Penguindrum'', Turn 010’s “idol singer duo” may refer to the idol duo “Double H”.
177** Turn 016 introduces Etoile, a young boy piloting an entity called “[[Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion Unit 01]]” to defend his world from alien attacks, who wonders why he does it and concludes that he probably just wants to be praised.
178** Turn 017 features heavy references to ''Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica''. [[spoiler: Look out for scissors!]]
179* In ''Webcomic/CthulhuSlippers'' there are constant shout outs to Creator/HPLovecraft and other works that reference the mythos such as the ''Franchise/EvilDead'' series in [[http://cthulhuslippers.com/comic/the-necronomicon/ this comic]].
180* ''Webcomic/CtrlAltDel'' featured a character strikingly similar in appearance to Tyler Durden from the movie ''Film/FightClub'' speaking for the character Ethan with the line "he fell down some stairs" to explain to a doctor the reasoning behind some suspicious facial trauma.
181** Similarly, there's a strip where Ethan imagines himself in a "happy place"--a frozen cave with Ted's hated pet penguin, and a giant mallet. The penguin's even panicking and thinking, "...slide?"
182** To ''Series/TheBigBangTheory'' in [[http://www.cad-comic.com/cad/20110919 this strip]].
183** A rare subtle example is a small vocal tic for Embla, which according to seasoned gamers is a match for [[VideoGame/SystemShock SHODAN]].
184* ''Webcomic/TheDailyDerp'': [[http://dailyderp.tumblr.com/post/37801679647/derpy-so-many-questions-that-i-dont-have-time-to The Daily XKD3RP]] mimics ''Webcomic/{{XKCD}}''. Also, Derpy [[http://dailyderp.tumblr.com/post/37600248618/derpy-i-got-enough-pp-for-this referencing]] the "Substitute" move from ''VideoGame/{{Pokemon}}''.
185* ''Webcomic/DanAndMabsFurryAdventures'':
186** [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flinx Pip]]. Pip's appearance, general personality and temperament pretty much make him Mab's answer to Flinx's minidrag.
187** Also, look carefully at what is exposed of the [[http://www.missmab.com/Demo/Leader15.php Clan Mink]] page. Can't see it? [[spoiler:"Status: [[VideoGame/{{Portal}} This was a triumph! I'm making a note [obscured by speech bubble] success!!]]"]]
188** ''[[http://www.missmab.com/Comics/Ab_023.php To what the frig kind of book]] [[Franchise/DragonBall does Oolong stock in that library these day]]''!
189** [[http://www.missmab.com/Comics/Vol_1182.php This comic]] contains a shout out to a [[WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants certain song.]]
190** ''Webcomic/LasLindas'': [[http://www.missmab.com/Comics/Vol_1250.php the horror movie!]]
191** The next page has ''Webcomic/CodeNameHunter''.
192** The entire [[http://www.missmab.com/Comics/Vol_512.php wardrobe montage]]. With bonus allusion to tentacle rape and several {{Wholesome Crossdresser}}s.
193** The bottom of [[http://www.missmab.com/Comics/Vol_1448.php this]] page references a scene from ''Film/WillyWonkaAndTheChocolateFactory''.
194** The characters play ''Candy-Land Adventures'' in [[http://missmab.com/Comics/Vol_1453.php #1453]] and [[http://missmab.com/Comics/Vol_1460.php #1460]]. ''TabletopGame/CandyLand'' is a simple children's game. ''Candy-Land Adventures'' transforms this game into an RPG like ''TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons'', complete with rolling dice, fighting monsters, and arguing about the rules. Roles include Peppermint Paladin and Rogue of Red Hots.
195** [[http://www.missmab.com/Comics/Vol_287.php #287]] references ''Film/ThePrincessBride''.
196** For some reason, Regina has a [[Webcomic/{{Freefall}} Florence Ambrose]] plushie [[http://www.missmab.com/Comics/Vol_991.php in her room.]]
197** "Demonology 101", Cubi Mind-Abilities, [[http://missmab.com/Demo/Cubi02.php Page 2]] quotes some law book. The quote is from the United States Constitution, Article 1, Section 5.
198* ''Webcomic/DaughterOfTheLilies'':
199** [[http://www.daughterofthelilies.com/dotl/541 This]] page has a [[Literature/HarryPotter 9 3/4]] engraved in a bit of rubble, and Margot receiving aid from what's recognizably a [[WesternAnimation/StevenUniverse Pearl]].
200** Later Thistle identifies a giant rat as a [[Film/ThePrincessBride ROUS]].
201* ''Webcomic/DemonseedRedux'':
202** Jean and Dee go to a party in [[VideoGame/{{Overwatch}} Chaser and Mercy]]'s {{Cosplay}}. The [[OurAngelsAreDifferent irony]] of the latter is noted.
203** When [[spoiler:[[BigBad Galadrel]] tells Chica that [[LukeIAmYourFather he's his son]], Chica asks to cut the ''Franchise/StarWars'' crap. He's not bluffing]].
204* [[http://www.qwantz.com/index.php?comic=1558 This]] ''Webcomic/DinosaurComics'' strip contains a Shout Out to [[http://pbfcomics.com/?cid=PBF247-Catch_Phrase.jpg this]] ''ComicStrip/ThePerryBibleFellowship'' strip.
205* ''Webcomic/DominicDeegan'':
206** [[ComicBook/{{Watchmen}} "I'm not trapped [in Hell] with you, you're trapped in here WITH ME!"]] The author claims it was accidental. Coincidentally, the same quote happens to be his friend [[Webcomic/CtrlAltDel Tim Buckley's]] forum signature on his own website.
207** Dominic's Father's grasp of [[http://www.dominic-deegan.com/view.php?date=2006-02-26 orcish]] bears a striking resemblance to Creator/MontyPython's Hungarian Phrasebook sketch. "I cannot wait til lunchtime" is a direct quote.
208** [[http://www.dominic-deegan.com/view.php?date=2008-10-19 This strip]], with "Ghost in the Spell" as an obvious shout-out to ''Franchise/GhostInTheShell''.
209* ''Webcomic/DragonBallMultiverse'':
210** [[http://www.dragonball-multiverse.com/en/page-466.html Page 466.]] [[Film/ThreeHundred That's madness!]]
211** The band that plays [[http://www.dragonball-multiverse.com/en/page-539.html just before the second round starts]] looks like the cantina band from ''Film/ANewHope''.
212** When U1 King Kai [[http://www.dragonball-multiverse.com/en/page-952.html talks about Namekians' weakness to whistles]], we can see next to him spectators who look like [[Manga/FullmetalAlchemist Edward Elric]], [[Franchise/MassEffect Urdnot Wrex]], [[Anime/MyHime Mai Tohika]], VideoGame/{{Catherine}} and [[Series/DoctorWho the Tenth Doctor]].
213** Right [[http://www.dragonball-multiverse.com/en/page-984.html after the mass resurrection]], several characters from several zombie-related franchises make an appearance, such as [[Franchise/ResidentEvil Claire Redfield]], [[VideoGame/TheWalkingDead Lee Everett, Clementine]], [[VideoGame/TheLastOfUs Ellie]] and [[VideoGame/StarOceanTillTheEndOfTime Fayt Leingod]].
214* In ''Webcomic/DragonMango'':
215** Mango wishes the goblins would come and take Cherry away '''[[Film/{{Labyrinth}} right now]]'''!
216** [[http://dragon-mango.com/comic/chapter04/dm04-15.htm Sherbert School is protected by a game of Tetris.]]
217** [[http://dragon-mango.com/comic/chapter04/dm04-22.htm When she hears that the Goblin King is in love with Mango, she asks]] [[Film/{{Labyrinth}} whether he is tall and handsome and a snappy dresser with long flowing hair and a great singing voice.]]
218** [[http://dragon-mango.com/comic/chapter04/dm04-32.htm A student says]] that the source of magic is [[Franchise/StarWars midichlori-]] -- and is driven from class.
219** [[http://dragon-mango.com/comic/chapter06/dm06-08.htm Steve]] [[Film/TheWizardOfOz the Great and Powerful]]
220** [[http://dragon-mango.com/comic/chapter06/dm06-11.htm The competitive sport of ]] [[Anime/PokemonTheSeries Pock-fighting]]
221** [[http://dragon-mango.com/comic/chapter07/dm07-20.htm They meet up with]] [[Literature/{{Momotaro}} Peaches, and her three animal companions]].
222* ''Webcomic/{{Dregs}}'': Mags the rat hunter's [[http://dregscomic.tumblr.com/post/146986324120/ combat gear]] looks right at home in ''VideoGame/{{STALKER}}''.
223* ''Webcomic/DriveDaveKellett'': Skitter's LaserGuidedAmnesia is referred to as like a "bad episode of ''Series/GilligansIsland''".
224* The only real recurring shout-out in ''Webcomic/ElfBlood'' lies in Carlita Delacroix, a [[Manga/{{Bleach}} large-breasted dark-skinned catwoman]]. Other shout-outs have included the [[Series/{{CSI}} obligatory sunglasses one-liner]] and a [[Literature/HarryPotter hidden magical community]] with corresponding TakeThat.
225* A handpuppet of Grace from ''Webcomic/ElGoonishShive'' can be seen in [[http://extras.thewotch.com/?epDate=2008-09-09 this]] [[{{Filler}} filler comic]] of ''Webcomic/TheWotch''
226** There are several other shoutouts, mainly to EGS, in the comic. Ivan mentions having a cousin in Moperville, [[LampshadeHanging "where all that weird stuff happens"]].
227** And don't forget the climax of one recent story arc. About six webcomics get referenced in a single update.
228** And the [[Webcomic/ZebraGirl Maginet]] is used by a magician to spread the word. One of the people shown is wearing plaid and is asking for advice on how to catch a demon girl.
229* The top row of panels in [[http://www.giantitp.com/comics/erf0028.html this page]] of ''Webcomic/{{Erfworld}}'' is formatted like a ''Webcomic/PartiallyClips'' (Rob Balder's other webcomic) strip.
230** And, given the [[PunnyName nature]] of ''Erfworld'', it is easier to count pages that ''don't'' have shoutouts to ''something'', explicit or otherwise.
231*** One troper lost a bet about five pages without a shout out, because he didn't recognize Sergeant Schlock from ''Webcomic/SchlockMercenary'' in [[http://www.giantitp.com/comics/erf0059.html this strip]] and the [[http://www.giantitp.com/comics/erf0059.html Leeroy Jerkins]] here; but at least he had chicken.
232** [[http://www.erfworld.com/book-2-archive/?px=%2F2011-09-06.jpg This strip]] features a cameo by [[WesternAnimation/{{Gargoyles}} the Weird Sisters]].
233* In ''Webcomic/EverydayHeroes'', the bio pages for Dolly Bird and G-Nat mention that their father was a genetic engineer known as the Somewhat-Below-Average Evolutionary (a ShoutOut to Marvel Comics' High Evolutionary). Another episode features [[http://eheroes.smackjeeves.com/comics/1891160/first-things-first/ three consecutive panels]] of ShoutOut references:
234** First, the strip is set in Kurt Vonnegut's hometown of UsefulNotes/{{Indianapolis}}.
235** Second panel features Mell Kelly from ''Webcomic/{{Narbonic}}'', and the Muzak is from the song "Wind Beneath My Wings". ("Did I ever tell you you're my hero?")
236** Third panel has a sign labelled "Sciuridae Labs", a reference to ''Webcomic/ElGoonishShive''.
237* ''Webcomic/FauxPas'':

240* ''Webcomic/{{Fillbert}}'':
241** [[https://mincerafter42.github.io/fillbert/2021/W23 Nyan Cat is copied.]]
242** The [[https://mincerafter42.github.io/fillbert/2021/W40 "Planet of the Aces"]] poster is one letter off from Franchise/PlanetOfTheApes, and features an actor named Rod [=McDowel=], a pun on Creator/RoddyMcDowall who played Cornelius in ''Planet of the Apes''.
243* ''Webcomic/FoundationThePsychohistorians'': During his courtroom trial, Seldon literally [[SuddenlyShouting shouts]] the words, "decline and fall of the Galactic Empire", which is only one word off from the [[InspirationForTheWork inspiration for the (original) work]], ''Literature/TheDeclineAndFallOfTheRomanEmpire'', by Creator/EdwardGibbon.
244* ''Webcomic/FreakAngels'' had this little gem: [[http://www.freakangels.com/?p=70&page=6 "All your forthcoming bone fractures are belong to us."]] The scene is a shout-out to the infamous "All your base are below to us" line from ''VideoGame/ZeroWing''.
245* The webcomic ''Freaks N Squeeks'' has a boy-genius mouse whose full name (used only once) is "Albert Jeremy Nonn". In case you don't get how that's a shout-out, try [[Literature/FlowersForAlgernon sounding out just the first syllable of each name]].
246* ''Webcomic/SimonAndFreddy'':
247** In [[https://www.furaffinity.net/view/19222646/ Playtime]], Steve recites a portion of the Music/JohnDenver song "Take Me Home, Country Roads."
248** [[https://www.furaffinity.net/view/11821229/ The eighth strip]] is not only called "What Does The Fox Say?", but also has Simon say the title in the third panel, much to the chagrin of Freddy. It's a reference to a song by Music/{{Ylvis}}.
249** In [[https://www.furaffinity.net/view/17594887/ Autumn Poetry]], Freddy recites the first three lyrics of the Music/NatKingCole song "Autumn Leaves."
250* ''Webcomic/TheFuzzyFive'': The Fluffton P.D. has an [[Theatre/WestSideStory Officer Krupke]]. For extra points, the strip title is [[http://www.fuzzyfive.com/2010/comic/24-hey-look-social-commentary/ Hey, Look! Social Commentary!]]
251* ''Webcomic/FurryFightChronicles'' has Kalita pulling a page out of Black Orchid's FinishingMove from ''VideoGame/KillerInstinct'' to go for a OneHitKill by [[ShowSomeLeg flashing her breasts at Muko]] taking advantage of her FatalFlaw exactly like Orchid does herself complete with Muko's Muko's facial expression of someone whose face is going to explode because they witnessed something so perfect that they're brains can't process it. And her manager Cookie [[DidNotSeeThatComing pointing out how unexpected it was for Kalita to flash her breasts, even noting how she thought Kalita was more of the reserved kind.]]
252
253* In ''Webcomic/GeneralProtectionFault'':
254** In the climactic battle of Surreptitious Machinations, the [[http://www.gpf-comics.com/archive/2002/07/28 news team]]reporting is WPET, with humans who are analogous to the dogs of KPET in ''Webcomic/{{Newshounds}}''.

258** The first character they meet in the FunnyAnimal universe of "[=shadowCoin=]" is D.C. Smythe, an old character of Darlington's who WordOfGod describes as "a parody of a parody". He's a cat, but other than that is [[WesternAnimation/DangerMouse a white-furred British secret agent with an eyepatch]].
259** Other universes visited include one based on ''Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda'' and one based on ''Franchise/SailorMoon''.
260* In "''Webcomic/GiftsOfWanderingIce'' a model of the [[WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}} Planet Express ship]] appears in [[http://giftscomic.com/index.php?comic_id=104 Elie's study]], among her trinkets from the old world.
261* ''Webcomic/GoodGuyComic'' has a visual reference to ''Film/{{Aliens}}''.
262* In ''Webcomic/HolidayWars'', AprilFoolsDay makes a shoutout to ''Series/GilmoreGirls'', as seen in [[http://www.th3rdworld.com/web-comic/Holiday-Wars/episode/Holiday-Wars-Episode-38 this strip]]
263* The [[http://www.housepetscomic.com/comic/2018/03/26/what-does-a-god-need-with-ultimate-power/ climax]] to an arc in ''Webcomic/{{Housepets}}'' brought out this gem from ''Film/{{Ghostbusters|1984}}'':
264-->'''Res:''' HEY MAGMA BREATH! I HAVE ONE QUESTION! ARE YOU A GOD?\
265'''The Forgotten:''' No, it is—\
266'''Res:''' '''''THEN DIE.'''''
267* ''Webcomic/TheInexplicableAdventuresOfBob'' is full of these, including references to WesternAnimation/BugsBunny, WesternAnimation/MrMagoo, [[WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes Pepe Le Pew]], ''The Franchise/{{Transformers}}'', WesternAnimation/PinkyAndTheBrain, ''Franchise/StarTrek'', ''Series/DoctorWho'', ''Series/SaturdayNightLive'', Creator/MontyPython, ''Series/SesameStreet'', ''Series/BarneyAndFriends'', ''Series/YouCantDoThatOnTelevision'', ''Series/CosmosAPersonalVoyage,'' Martin and Lewis, Radio/BobAndRay, Little Richard, Marcel Marceau, Creator/MrT, UsefulNotes/RichardNixon, Che Guevara, ''ComicStrip/BloomCounty'', ''ComicStrip/{{Peanuts}}'', ''ComicStrip/TerryAndThePirates'', ''Norb'' by [[Creator/DanielPinkwater Pinkwater]] and Auth, ''Webcomic/{{Melonpool}}'', ''Webcomic/{{Zortic}}'', ''Zeera the Space Pirate'', Franchise/MyLittlePony, Anime/TenchiMuyo,'' ''Series/{{Ultraman}},'' ''Where's Waldo?, Film/{{Metropolis}}, Film/{{Gamera}}, Literature/{{Frankenstein}}, Franchise/IndianaJones, Film/ReturnOfTheJedi, Film/{{Clash of the Titans|1981}}, WesternAnimation/HeavyMetal,'' ComicBook/SpiderMan, ComicBook/GreenLantern, [[ComicBook/{{Shazam}} Captain Marvel]], ''Franchise/TheHitchhikersGuideToTheGalaxy, Literature/TheLastUnicorn, Literature/TheLittlePrince, VideoGame/{{Zork}}, Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda,'' Creator/{{Atari}}, Izod, Pepsi and Penn State University (where the strip originated).

270* In ''Webcomic/IrregularWebcomic'':
271** UsefulNotes/IsaacNewton has a time machine [[Series/DoctorWho shaped like a police box]]. The noise it makes when dematerialising is "[[Webcomic/CaseyAndAndy Jurrrz]]".
272** The Death arc has occasional nods to Death of the Literature/{{Discworld}}, most notably [[http://www.irregularwebcomic.net/1008.html this strip]] which has a paraphrase of the bit in Creator/TerryPratchett's author bio about his first day as a journalist.
273** Frequent shout outs to ''Literature/TheLordOfTheRings'' in the Fantasy arc.
274** Will Shakespeare quotes the famous line from ''Theatre/{{Macbeth}}'', "Out, damned spot!," to get his dog out of the server room.

276* ''Webcomic/IWasKidnappedByLesbianPiratesFromOuterSpace'' has RedShirt {{Shout Out}}s starting [[http://rosalarian.com/lesbianpirates/?p=195 here]] and [[http://rosalarian.com/lesbianpirates/?p=196 here]]. Unfortunately, some fans forgot the cardinal rule of {{Red Shirt}}s (hint: they die) and fell in love with a [[http://rosalarian.com/lesbianpirates/?p=245 certain Red Shirt]].
277* ''Webcomic/{{Jack|DavidHopkins}}'':
278** Among other things, to various other web-based furry works, ''Literature/WatershipDown'', ''VideoGame/EarthwormJim'', and Music/NineInchNails.
279** The afterlife is distinctively based on ''Literature/TheDivineComedy''.
280** In a recent arc, a character Richek reveals that he's seen the grim reaper numerous times and considers him somewhat of a friend, but no one else has ever seen him, and he doesn't know his name. What does he call his tall, rabbitty pal? "Theatre/{{Harvey}}!"
281%%%% This installment of what?** [[http://pholph.com/index_a.php?Strip=206 This]] installment of. The same arc shouts out to ''Literature/{{Redwall}}'' again with the fact that Sue is in "Saint Ninian's Hospital".

289** The text box that shows up after Tamaryu [[SmashingWatermelons smashes a watermelon]] [[DoesNotKnowHisOwnStrength into a fine pink spray]].
290* ''Webcomic/KnightsOfBuenaVista'' features not only Disney shouts outs (given it's a CampaignComic based largely on the Franchise/DisneyAnimatedCanon), but to various other works, from ''Franchise/StarWars'' to films by Creator/TheAsylum.
291* ''Webcomic/{{Lightbringer}}'' does it ''a lot''. Main character quotes ''Watchmen'', his friend once dressed-up as a spoiler, and when he asked another character about how can he be sure he don't kill anybody, the answer he get was ''[[ComicBook/Batgirl2000 Cassandra Cain]]''
292* ''Light Roast Comics'' has a shout-out to ''Anime/BeyBlade'' [[http://lightroastcomics.com/bay-blades here]].

295* ''Webcomic/MenageA3'' features a fair number of shout-outs, mostly to pop culture; see the comic's own page.
296** Just for one, Gary often wears shirts with various symbols from retro TV shows, like ''WesternAnimation/ReBoot'', as well as newer but still rather obscure shows, like ''WesternAnimation/CodeLyoko''.
297** Late in its run, the comic introduced various new characters who were shout-outs to the cast of the same creators’ fantasy comics — ''Webcomic/EerieCuties'' and its spin-offs. These characters, and the habit of introducing more such, then carried over to the follow-up comic, ''Webcomic/PixieTrixComix''.
298* In ''Webcomic/MobTies'', you can play a fun game called the Mob Ties ShoutOut drinking game. Take a shot every time you spot a ShoutOut on a strip. Just be sure to play it someplace where you can get emergency medical attention very quickly, or you may be dead before you get halfway through the archives.
299* In ''Monster of the Week'', Shaenon Garrity's ''Series/TheXFiles'' recap comic, [[http://www.shaenon.com/monsteroftheweek/2014/05/30/05302014/ Mulder's ID photo]] shows him lounging in swimming trunks, just like the ''X-Files'' parody in ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons''.
300* ''Webcomic/MoonCrest24'' has a few of these here and there. However, the BeachEpisode chapter is chock-full of them. Can you spot them all?
301* In [[http://mortifer.smackjeeves.com Mortifer]], when [[spoiler: Lord Artemis]] is explaining his reason for [[spoiler: "removing" Johnathan]]:
302--> "He's done no severe crime. technically, he was a good [[spoiler: angel]]. But lust is not a good quality. [[Film/ThePhantomMenace Leads to jealousy. Leads to anger. Leads to violence.]]
303* In [[http://muertitos.comicgenesis.com/d/20050902.html this strip]] from ''Muertitos'', Lafcadio hides in a closet among a pile of plush alien toys, including [[Manga/UruseiYatsura Lum Invader]], [[WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes Marvin the Martian]], Series/{{Alf}}, [[Manga/DoctorSlump King Nikochan]], [[WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}} Dr. Zoidberg]], and [[Manga/SgtFrog Sgt. Keroro]].
304* ''Webcomic/{{Narbonic}}'' has so many shout outs and obscure references that one has to read the Director's Cut version to find all of them. Shaenon Garrity lists everything from other webcomics to manga to Shakespeare.
305* ''Webcomic/NerfNow'''s [[TheRant news post]] [[http://nerfnow.com/comic/185 here]]: "Sigh. [[Webcomic/RPGWorld Times are tough.]]"
306* Early in the "A World Without Piffany" arc in ''Webcomic/{{Nodwick}}'', the hapless henchman plummets between realities... passing, as he does, [[Series/DoctorWho a police box with a scarf stuck in the door]]. The author, Aaron Williams, seems to like ''Who'' shoutouts, since he has also had an elven healer mistakenly refer to Piffany as "Romana", and then offer her a jelly baby. (The latter in a parody of the ''Film/DungeonsAndDragons2000'' movie, where the equivalent character was in fact played by Creator/TomBaker.) A further ''Series/DoctorWho'' parody comes with the wizards whose psyches reside within the Orb of Omnescience; their appearances and personalities come from the Third, Fourth and Fifth Doctors, plus Romana.
307* In ''Webcomic/NoRestForTheWicked'', the cat from "Literature/PussInBoots" is named Perrault.
308** Also, Red tells Perrault about a plan to get through gates: "[[http://www.forthewicked.net/archive/02-23.html Your huffing and puffing wouldn't blow it down]]."
309* ''Webcomic/ThePackrat'' shouts out to ''Franchise/BackToTheFuture'', ''Film/CloseEncountersOfTheThirdKind'' (a reference which synth geeks will get the most easily) and ''Film/SpiesLikeUs''. The author, ''WebAnimation/RetardedAnimalBabies'' creator David C. Lovelace, also declared shout-outs to [=CustomSynth=] and Metasonix, although these aren't shout-outs in TV Tropes' sense.
310* In ''Webcomic/PebbleAndWren'', the Halloween strips show Pebble dressing as [=R2D2=] from ''Franchise/StarWars'', holding a ''ComicBook/SpiderMan'' mask, and eating a ''Franchise/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles'' figure.
311* ''Webcomic/ThePetriDish'':
312** One strip has Bob saying, "Exterminate" and waving a plunger. This is a reference to ''Series/DoctorWho'', where the Daleks have appendages that look like plungers and say, "Exterminate". He also appears as a Cyberman at one point.
313** In one comic, Bob imagines Eve from ''WesternAnimation/WallE''.
314** There are several ''Franchise/StarTrek'' references including Thaddeus thinking Captain Kirk could win against Captain Picard in a fight, Thaddeus appearing as Captain Picard, and two men talking about dilithium.
315** In one strip, people dress as ''Franchise/StarWars'' characters for the "May the fourth be with you" joke.
316** One strip [[OffToSeeTheWizard parodies]] ''Film/TheWizardOfOz'' and also, Bob wants a heart because of the Tin Man and is scared of the flying monkeys.
317** When [[MindScrew a zombie poops]], they say, "I guess [[Literature/EveryonePoops the children's book]] was right-- everyone poops!".
318** An optician refers to a pair of thick glasses as "Farnsworth glasses", a reference to Professor Farnsworth from ''WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}}''.
319** Several references to ''VideoGame/{{Farmville}}'' exist, although the cartoonist seems to not know that cows don't need feeding and mooing is just a random noise that they make.
320* ''Webcomic/{{Pibgorn}}'': [[http://www.gocomics.com/pibgorn/2007/03/02/ First panel, Edward Hopper]].
321* ''Webcomic/PrincessPrincess2012'': The setup with Sadie locked in a tower is quite similar to ''Literature/{{Rapunzel}}''. When inside without an easy way to get down, Amira even asks how long her hair is, but Sadie says to forget the idea-she's not Rapunzel.
322* ''Webcomic/{{Pupster}}'':
323** Jakata asks where [[Advertising/DairyQueenLips Dairy King]] is in the third page of ''Pup, Pup, And Away''.
324** Kevin finds a [[UsefulNotes/MicrosoftWindows Mycrosoft Doors]] laptop in the fourth page of ''Egg Over Easy''.
325** The laptop has an icon titled [[http://WIKIPEDIA.COM/wiki/Internet_Explorer The Internet]] in the sixth page of ''Egg Over Easy''.
326** Pupster and Danny use [[Website/{{Google}} Boogle]] on the laptop in the seventh page of ''Egg Over Easy''.
327** Pupster and Danny goes to [[UsefulNotes/{{Walmart}} Mallmart]] in the fifteenth page of ''Egg Over Easy''.
328** Kevin watches [[Franchise/MyLittlePony Pretty Pretty Horsey]] on the laptop in the twentyfourth page of ''Egg Over Easy'' along with other videos shown there.

333** Pupster and Danny use [[Website/{{Facebook}} Bookface]] and find out about [[UsefulNotes/KentuckyFriedChicken TFC]] in the twentyseventh page of ''Egg Over Easy''.
334** Danny beats Pupster in TabletopGame/{{checkers}} in the seventh page of ''Lookie'' and an iconic quote is spoken.
335->'''Pupster''': Heh... Danny, come on, bro. This is madness!
336->'''Danny''': [[Film/ThreeHundred Madness...? THIS! IS! CHECKERS!]]
337* ''Webcomic/PvP'' is rather fond of pop culture and video game references. In addition, [[http://www.pvponline.com/comic/2007/12/13/kringus-risen-part-11 this strip]] was an obvious shout out to the Holiday Wars arc of ''Webcomic/SluggyFreelance''.
338* ''Webcomic/ReBootCodeOfHonor'': The chapter names are plays on the titles of classic works: ''[[Literature/ParadiseLost Paradigms Lost]]'', ''[[Film/TheDayTheEarthStoodStill1951 The Day the Net Stood Still]]'', and ''[[Film/ApocalypseNow Apocalypse Gnosis]]''.
339* In Webcomic/{{Realmwalker}} there are numerous references to other media: Luke reads a story about a "sneaky snake and a bookshop angel", a reference to Good Omens, Thrym refers to Gunhild as Series/DoctorWho, several chapters are named after Bjork songs, The chapter art for episode 17 has the main characters dressed in The Beatles' Sgt pepper outfits, and A troll alludes to having a "cousin Moomin".

341* ''Webcomic/{{Sandusky}}'' contains multiple classic rock references.
342* ''Webcomic/SatanAndMe'' has a short imagine spot in which Satan acts out the infamous bloody bucket scene from ''Film/{{Carrie|1976}}''.
343* [[http://www.schlockmercenary.com/d/20041007.html Here]] [[Webcomic/SchlockMercenary Schlock the mercenary]] travels in [[Series/DoctorWho "A bright, blue box, nice and inconspicuous" which "looked bigger from the inside."]]
344* ''Webcomic/{{SERGOM}}'' has a nice reference to the current Twix ad campaign.
345* ''Webcomic/{{Shadowgirls}}'' artist Dave Reynolds throws in a lot of these into the book. Some are nods to personal friends, fans of the book, and sources of inspirations.
346* ''Webcomic/SheldonTheTinyDinosaur'': The titular character occasionally meets and/or dresses up as characters from other fictional works:
347** [[https://sheldonthetinydinosaur.com/post/115824575029/panaran-but-how-many-would-it-take-to-carry Befriending]] ''VideoGame/{{Pikmin}}s''
348** [[https://sheldonthetinydinosaur.com/post/115824590159/panaran-i-actually-drew-this-about-a-month-ago Dressing up]] as [[Franchise/{{Pokemon}} Lapras]].

350** [[https://sheldonthetinydinosaur.com/post/125806982274/dont-worry-hes-more-of-the-protector-of Cosplaying]] as Franchise/{{Godzilla}}, whom Sheldon is apparently a FanBoy of.
351* The [[http://www.shortpacked.com/d/20050401.html April]] [[http://www.shortpacked.com/d/20060401.html Fool's]] [[http://www.shortpacked.com/d/20070401.html comics]] at ''[[http://www.shortpacked.com/ Shortpacked!]]'' involve a Shout Out both subtle and obvious. They use the same narrative structure as ''Webcomic/DinosaurComics'', but with the panels arranged vertically.
352** And then there's [[http://www.shortpacked.com/d/20060202.html this familiar]]-[[Webcomic/QuestionableContent looking coffee house]]. (Later named as Cofferight Theft.)
353*** And a ''double'' ShoutOut [[http://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1550 here]] and [[http://shortpacked.com/comic/book-10/03-the-comedy-laugh/coffeehouse/ here]] between ''Webcomic/QuestionableContent'' and ''Shortpacked!''. On the same day.
354*** And a further ShoutOut to ''Questionable Content'' [[http://www.shortpacked.com/2010/comic/book-12/05-neww-2010-comics/prime/ here.]] See the [=AnthroPC=]?

359** Tre is delighted to discover a Music/LutherVandross tape in his dad's collection, as its release date means his dad bought and hid it from Tre's mother after Tre's mother had abolished all secular entertainment for the family making it "contraband".
360** Other tapes from Tre's dad's collection brought on the storm chasing trip include some Detroit Spinners and Music/StevieWonder, along with a number of sermons Tre and Olly are much less enthused about.
361* ''Webcomic/SilentHillPromise'': The heroine has a ''Webcomic/ProblemSleuth'' poster on her bedroom wall. ''[[Webcomic/SilentHillPromise Promise]]'' borrows its interactive format from ''Webcomic/MSPaintAdventures''.
362* ''Webcomic/SonicTheComicOnline'' features the occasional shout-outs to the Archie's ComicBook/SonicTheHedgehogArchieComics. In the 250th milestone issue Sally was revamped from her [[http://images4.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20100110155215/sonic/images/0/01/STC33-SallyAcorn.jpg original anthro-shift design]] to something that more resembles her [[http://images.wikia.com/stc/images/7/71/Sally_Fletway.jpg Archie]] [[http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20110617063333/archiesonic/images/thumb/1/1d/Sally_Acorn1_001.jpg/165px-Sally_Acorn1_001.jpg design]] (though it looks like something Sega would make). Joe Sushi also wore a [[http://images.wikia.com/stc/images/e/ec/Joesushi.jpg jacket]] similar to his [[http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20100225123959/archiesonic/images/thumb/5/5a/Rotor_the_Walrus.jpg/343px-Rotor_the_Walrus.jpg Archie design]].
363** Amy is seen wearing a ''ComicBook/GreenLantern'' shirt in one of her solo stories.

365** There are also more subtle ''Franchise/AceAttorney'' shout-outs with some of the speech bubbles fading to red at the bottom when a character is angry.
366* Torg from ''Webcomic/SluggyFreelance'' is named after the character Torgo from ''Film/ManosTheHandsOfFate''.
367** The elftrooper line from [[http://sluggy.com/comics/archives/daily/000914 this]] ''Sluggy Freelance'' strip is a shout out to ''Film/ANewHope''.
368* ''Webcomic/{{Smithson}}'':
369** In Chapter Two, the college radio station [[https://web.archive.org/web/20070211144205/http://www.webcomicsnation.com/shaenongarrity/smithson/series.php?view=archive&chapter=3524 is playing]] a series of losing Series/EurovisionSongContest entries. While most of them are real, the scene opens with the last line of "[[Series/FatherTed My Lovely Horse]]".
370** In Chapter Three, the line "[[https://web.archive.org/web/20070210185530/http://www.webcomicsnation.com/shaenongarrity/smithson/series.php?view=archive&chapter=6126 She's a gig, she's roadside, man]]" is fake made-up slang from ''ComicStrip/ForBetterOrForWorse''.
371** [[https://web.archive.org/web/20131104023632/http://www.webcomicsnation.com/shaenongarrity/smithson/series.php?view=archive&chapter=7529&name=smithson The graffiti in the steam tunnels]]. [[https://web.archive.org/web/20070210190613/http://www.webcomicsnation.com/shaenongarrity/smithson/series.php?view=archive&chapter=7608 All of it]].
372* ''Webcomic/{{Spinnerette}}'' has things like a security guard who pulls off a [[SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome Crowning Moment Of Awesome]] showing up with "CMOA" on his jacket in his next appearance, and a Canadian superhero known as [[Music/WarrenZevon The Werewolf of London, Ontario]]. Also, a villainess learns magic from a ''TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons'' rulebook, and you would ''not believe'' how often Marvel and DC are mentioned (especially Marvel, because it's...kind of obvious the writer is a fan of Spider-Man).
373* ''Webcomic/StickyDillyBuns'': The coupling of "Matt" and "Dillon" is [[Series/{{Gunsmoke}} a rather arbitrary shout-out]] that carried over from the parent comic, ''Webcomic/MenageA3''. However, nobody in the setting ever seems to notice the coincidence until Ruby, who evidently has a fondness for old television, [[https://pixietrixcomix.com/sticky-dilly-buns/magnet-bringing-us-closer lampshades it instantly.]]
374* ''Webcomic/StringTheory2009'':
375** You can see [[Series/TheWalkingDead Andrea]] working as a prison guard and [[WesternAnimation/KimPossible Dr. Drakken]] in a prison outfit in the first panel of [[http://www.stringtheorycomic.com/comics/chaptertwo/page-fortyseven/ page 47]].
376** Schtein has framed posters for [[http://www.stringtheorycomic.com/uncategorized/page-twenty-two/ Casablanca]] and [[http://www.stringtheorycomic.com/uncategorized/page-twenty-three/ Doctor Zhivago]] in his apartment.
377** Early in his career Schtein was found shoving kittens into the [[VideoGame/{{Fallout}} Forced Evolutionary Virus]] injection chamber.
378* ''Webcomic/SuperStupor'' is pretty blatant when they do a shout out to the Website/TVTropes Wiki itself, in [[http://www.superstupor.com/sust02132009.shtml this]] strip.
379* There are plenty to found in ''Webcomic/TokiNoTanaka'', largely to {{Creator/Nintendo}} games and exclusively to Japanese media (funnily enough).
380* ''Webcomic/TooMuchInformation2005'' has plenty of sci-fi refs, but the serious ShoutOut is given by Gina Gibs, the mother of main character Ace (who actually is TheAce). Years ago we learned she spoke lots of dialects of four Oriental languages, and has served in the Air Force in Korea as a translator when Ace was little. Then we learned she picked up some other languages 'when she was bored', like Arabic. Then she re-enlisted in the Air Force at the height of the Iraq War. What does she really do for the Air Force? [[http://tmi-comic.com/2009/01/19/stellarportal/ Something else entirely.]]
381* In ''Webcomic/UrbanUnderbrush'', [[http://www.lepusstudios.com/uu0138.html the cat]] climbs on a box to feign a dogfight as the Red Baron.
382* ''Webcomic/{{Waterworks}}'':
383** [=Urist McWorkman=] is one walking ''VideoGame/DwarfFortress'' reference.
384** Also, there's the [[VideoGame/{{Pokemon}} "Hitmontop"]] worker. In addition to spinning around on his head, he attempts to use triple-kick on Slick. Later, Slick is told to "mash the B button" to stop [[spoiler:one of the goo creatures]] from evolving.
385** The sisters Philia and Phobia are [[Franchise/SuperMarioBros two overall & cap wearing plumber siblings, one red and one green.]]
386** There's also one to ''VideoGame/SuperMarioSunshine'' when Connie asks José if he's going to use his jetpack to fly around collecting blue coins.
387** [[http://mspfanventures.com/?s=43&p=885 This panel]] is a reference to ''Webcomic/{{Prequel}}''.
388** Johnny from the interlude looks like ''WesternAnimation/JohnnyBravo'' especially when you consider his position in the team's ThemeNaming.
389** Charlie's pumpkin is a reference to the RunningGag from ''Webcomic/MSPaintAdventures''.
390* [[http://www.wcihigh.com/?p=298 This strip]] from ''WCI High'' features a shout-out to [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZpBkc2jK-6w ''Bambi Meets Godzilla'']].
391* ''Webcomic/{{xkcd}}'' strip [[http://xkcd.com/604/ "Qwertial Aphasia"]] has the AltText "If this were SMBC, the alt-text drawing thingy would be a giraffe hooker fluttering her eyelashes." The following day, [[http://www.smbc-comics.com/index.php?db=comics&id=1565 Zach did just that.]]
392** The AltText for [[http://xkcd.com/292/ this]] strip contains one to ''Literature/{{Cryptonomicon}}''.
393** The [[http://xkcd.com/574/ "Swine Flu"]] strip has one Twitter message saying, "How long until the Swine Flu reaches me here [[VideoGame/{{Pandemic}} in Madagascar?]]" and another from ''Questionable Content'''s Hannelore.
394** Science question {{spinoff}} "[[Blog/WhatIf What If?]]" tosses an AltText reference to ''WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender'', at [[http://what-if.xkcd.com/37/ supersonic speed]] naturally.
395* ''Webcomic/YuMeDream'':
396** [[http://rosalarian.com/yume/?p=1297 This page]] of is both a ShoutOut to ''Franchise/TheTwilightZone'' and an annoyed fan.
397** [[http://rosalarian.com/yume/?p=1570 This page]], as well as others from this section, are {{Shout Out}}s to two other webcomics, ''Webcomic/SisterClaire'' and ''[[http://www.evildivacomics.com/ Evil Diva]]''.
398** While many of the different styles are {{Shout Out}}s, the style that starts on [[http://rosalarian.com/yume/?p=1845 this page]], is a definite ShoutOut to Junko Mizuno.
399*** And Disney style in [[http://rosalarian.com/yume/?p=1113 this page]].
400** [[Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer The Cheese Man]] is in the last page of [[http://rosalarian.com/yume/?p=1147 this 5 page update]].
401** [[http://rosalarian.com/yume/?p=895 Skleebs]] was a ShoutOut to some fans on the original forum. Unfortunately, it brought more drama than the author anticipated.
402** [[http://rosalarian.com/yume/?p=1256 This page]] references another webcomic: ''Webcomic/DieselSweeties''.
403* ''Webcomic/ZebraGirl'': A number of cameos, usually involving the Maginet. Hell, that entire arc bears more than a few similarities to ''Anime/SerialExperimentsLain''... albeit without as much MindScrew.
404** [[http://askzandra.tumblr.com/post/106121777156/forever Zandra is unable to taste food now that she is a demon]]. The only exception is, of all things, coffee. [[Webcomic/TheOrderOfTheStick A certain lich would kill her over and over for that]].
405** When Jack is [[http://www.zebragirl.net/?date=2001-01-27 learning the name of his ancient magic book,]] the last guess he makes as to its name, partly cut off, is "the Book of E--" [[Webcomic/SluggyFreelance No prizes for guessing what he meant.]]
406** The first clearly seen vampire calls herself "the Bloofer Lady", which is a rather obscure reference to ''Literature/{{Dracula}}''.
407** Dave Davenport of ''Webcomic/{{Narbonic}}'' found drinking in a bar [[http://www.zebragirl.thecomicseries.com/comics/180 here]].
408** The creator of ''Webcomic/WeAreTheWyrecats'' loves to name drop pop culture references as well as other webcomics.
409* There's one to ''Film/{{Taken}}'' in issue #5 of ''Webcomic/ZiggyPigAndSillySeal2022'':
410-->'''Throg:''' "We ComicBook/PetAvengers haveth a particular set of skills we hath acquired over very long careers. Skills that maketh us a nighmare to people like thee. If thou doth come forward now that'll be the end of it. But if thou doth not, we will looketh for thee, we will findeth thee, and we will--"
