Line #18 ShoutOut/AshVsEvilDead


1	* Ash's father is fittingly named [[{{Anime/Pokemon}} Brock.]]
2	* Near the beginning of "Brujo" Kelly says "[[Theatre/DrivingMissDaisy Drive, Miss Daisy]]" to Ash.
3	* During his VisionQuest, Ash says he wants to go "[[Film/TheWizardOfOz back to Kansas]]."
4	* "There ''is'' no [[spoiler:Kelly]] anymore!" from "The Host" is a reference to ''Film/{{Ghostbusters 1984}}''.
5	* In "The Killer of Killers", Pablo quotes Yoda's speech about the nature of revenge from ''Film/TheEmpireStrikesBack'' to Kelly.
6	* Linda's severed head being told she's "just a head" and her offer to [[{{Pun}} give Ash head]] are likely references to ''Film/ReAnimator''.
7	* Ash offhandedly remarks that he'd like to "bang Mary-Anne from ''Series/GilligansIsland''."
8	* In "The Dark One" Ash likens [[spoiler:Ruby's]] plan to ''Film/TheGodfather'', remarking that he didn't like that movie [[TakeThat because it was too long]] [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking and there weren't enough boobies]]. He then goes on to say that he's "more of a ''Film/DeathWish'' kind of guy."
9	* Ash apparently [[ICallItVera calls his chainsaw and shotgun]] "[[Film/TheThreeStooges Moe and Larry]]."
10	* In "Last Call", when Ash's car is possessed by the Necronomicon, the car burst into flames similar to [[ComicBook/AllNewGhostRider the Ghost Rider's car]]. Also is very similar to {{Film/Christine}}.
11	* Ash's childhood bedroom in "The Morgue" is decorated with several era-appropriate posters featuring the likes of Music/BlackSabbath, Music/AliceCooper, Music/TheStooges and Music/SuziQuatro. There's also a large cardboard standee advertising "[[Film/TheThreeStooges Shemp's]] Beer."
12	* When Ash is attempting to remove the Necronomicon from [[TreasureChestCavity inside a corpse]] in "The Morgue" and is met with resistance from the entangled guts he says "What the [[Creator/RayHarryhausen Harryhausen]]?"
13	* When Ruby is bleeding in "Trapped Inside" Kelly tells her to "Comicbook/{{Wolverine}} that shit up."
14	* In "Delusion" upon seeing the Ashy Slashy puppet, Kelly asks "What the Series/FraggleRock is that thing?"
15	* In "Ashy Slashy" Kelly calls the Ashy Slashy puppet a [[Franchise/TheMuppets Muppet]].
16	* In "Home Again" the 1980s theatre Ash drives by is showing a double feature of ''Film/FridayThe13thPartIII'' and ''Film/{{Poltergeist\|1982}}.'' It also has posters on display for ''Film/{{Stripes}}'', ''[[Film/TheHillsHaveEyes1977 The Hills Have Eyes]]'', and ''Film/ETTheExtraTerrestrial.''
17	* In "Second Coming," [[spoiler:Ash is honored as a hero by his hometown and sees [[Film/ReturnOfTheJedi the ghosts of Cheryl, Chet, and Brock cheering him on]]]].
18	* In "Second Coming", [[spoiler:Ruby's decapitated head, thrown unceremoniously in the back of the Delta (by her 80's-self), marks the second time Creator/LucyLawless has been [[Series/XenaWarriorPrincess beheaded off-screen]].]]
19	* Ash constantly mispronounces the name of the manipulative demon who wants to throw the world into an age of chaos and darkness and who wants to get his hands on a TomeOfEldritchLore as [[WesternAnimation/GravityFalls Bill]].
20	* In "Unfinished Business", Kelly calls Brandy WesternAnimation/{{Daria}}.
21	* In "Unfinished Business", Brock refers to his fists as "Ike & Music/TinaTurner's Greatest Hits" when threatening a Knight of Sumeria.
22	* "Tales from the Rift" names a parallel dimension as the Dead Lands. Campbell is a fan of the ''TabletopGame/{{Deadlands}}'' RPG.
23	* In "Tales from the Rift", Marcus comes back possessed and fuses with another hapless Knights of Sumeria member, similar to ''Film/TheThing2011'', where a victim gets his face and eventually his whole body fully assimilated by the Thing.
24	* When Ash is attempting to pilot a [[TankGoodness tank]] in "The Mettle of Man" he tells himself it'll be just like ''[[Videogame/Battlezone1980 Battlezone]].''
25	* Might be coincidence, but when Ash [[spoiler:is in the future in the final moments of the series finale, his gray temples and the jacket he wears make him resemble the future old Wolverine from ComicBook/DaysOfFuturePast.]]
