1While there're already quite a few examples of ShoutOut in ''Manga/DailyLivesOfHighSchoolBoys''' original anime, the Cantonese GagDub has even more by integrating local references and memes, following their dub for ''Manga/HayateTheCombatButler''. Examples of the two are listed separately.
2----
3!!Examples from the original anime
4* ''High School Boys and After School'': Aside from shouting out and spoofing the cliché of eating a [[ToastOfTardiness piece of toast]] while running late for school, the first skit of the show also showcases [[Franchise/{{Gundam}} Zaku]] painted in [[PaletteSwap Gundam colors]] destroying everything in the city.
5* ''High School Boys and Skirts'': Yoshitake [[Manga/FullmetalAlchemist transmutes]] a pair of panties. He even mentions EquivalentExchange.
6* ''The Daily Life of a Lady'': The titular Lady Yukana looks pretty much like [[Literature/TheFamiliarOfZero Louise de la Valliere]] with the lifestyle of [[Manga/HayateTheCombatButler Nagi Sanzen'in]][[note]]Except she's not voiced by Creator/RieKugimiya -- the voice actress of both girls -- but by Madoka Yonezawa, of ''Manga/KOn'''s Ui Hirasawa fame[[/note]], and is served by three men who look like [[VideoGame/PokemonBlackAndWhite Chili, Cilan, and Cress]].
7* ''[[Manga/OnePiece Yonpiece]]'' appeared to be Tadakuni's favorite manga.
8* ''High School Girls are Funky -- Resentment'': Yanagin noted that the little band of theirs [[SelfDeprecation is not good enough]] [[Manga/KOn to go to London]].
9* ''High School Boys and Indoor Adventure'': This is basically a RealLife ''VideoGame/DragonQuest'' Roleplay. One role Hidenori played is ''[[Creator/JohnnyDepp Depp]]''.
10* ''High School Boys and Dropkicks'': Hidenori gets a drop kick from Emi while screaming ''[[Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica Tiro Finale]]!'' -- a nod to [[Creator/KaoriMizuhashi her voice actress's]] role as Mami Tomoe, who originally uttered the line.
11* ''High School Girls are Funky -- Women Who Left a Scar'': Karasawa asked Yanagin [[NotSoStoic to allow herself to get a dose]] of his [[Manga/{{Kinnikuman}} Kinniku Buster]] as payback for beating him up back in ''Resentment''.
12* The figure Hidenori wanted to get in ''High School Boys and Store Employees'' looks suspiciously like [[Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica Madoka Kaname]] in her MagicalGirl form.
13** The same skit featured [[VideoGame/PuyoPuyo Ponyo Ponyo]] and [[VideoGame/TekKen Kikken]] playing in the background
14* The ''trailer'' at the end of episode 12 is a jab at ''Manga/KOn'' again, calling back what happened in ''Resentment''.
