31	* Nick once refers to officers Delgato and Fangmeyer as "[[WesternAnimation/TheJungleBook1967 Shere Khan]] and WesternAnimation/{{Balto}}".
32	* Lady Lang says "[[WesternAnimation/{{Tangled}} Mother knows best]]" to her adopted sons.
33	* The bilby police officer at Outback Island is called Baggins. [[Literature/TheHobbit Bilby Baggins]].
34	* Some in-universe action heroes referenced in the story are [[Creator/ChuckNorris Woodchuck Norris]], [[Franchise/StarWars Ham Solo]] and [[Franchise/{{Rambo}} Bambo]].
35	* Nick's mother's first name is [[WesternAnimation/RobinHood1973 Marian]] and she lives in Sherwood Apartments.
36	* When making fun of the Count's moniker, Nick mimics the speech patterns of the Count from ''Series/SesameStreet''.
37	* The video of Judy and Sang fighting each other is uploaded to [=ZooTube=] as "[[Film/BatmanBegins Batbunny Begins]]".
38	* One of the wolves from the Lang clan is called [[WesternAnimation/WreckItRalph Felix Junior]].
39	* An alcoholic drink sold in the Rainforest District is called "The Franchise/{{Tarzan}}" because "it makes you so drunk that you scream uproariously".
40	* John Wilde's hustles earned him the nickname "[[WesternAnimation/{{Pinocchio}} Honest John]]".
41	* A ShoutOut to ''Literature/ReynardTheFox'' that is also a major spoiler: [[spoiler: Nick's father uses the alias "Count Reynard".]]
42	* Mrs. Pong's noodle shop is an extended one to ''Franchise/KungFuPanda'': the noodle shop is owned by a panda, the clientele are pigs and bunnies, the waitress is a somewhat furious tigress, and the song "Kung Fu Fighting" plays there.
43	* El Orgullo's mannerisms (including his NoIndoorVoice and ThirdPersonPerson shtick) is inspired by The Boulder from ''WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender'' (who, in turn, is based on several RealLife professional wrestlers).
44	* During her match against El Orgullo, Carla paraphrases two iconic lines from ''Film/ThePrincessBride''.
45	--> Hello. [[MyNameIsInigoMontoya My name is Carla Hyenandez]]. [[spoiler: You crippled my partner.]] PrepareToDie.\
46	Inconceivable!
47	** And one more after she knocks him out:
48	--> Rest well and dream of large lionesses.
49	* In Chapter 27, Lucy Sang locking up Carla and putting her through deadly trials while wearing a white mask with red markings and calling herself "Jigsang" is a clear reference to ''Franchise/{{Saw}}''.
50	** Two chapters later, the challenge is based off of typical [[RoomEscapeGame Room Escape Games]], particularly ''VisualNovel/ZeroEscape''. Lucy herself even cosplays as [[VisualNovel/VirtuesLastReward Zero III]].
51	* Drabble 4, and part of 8, is a WholePlotReference to the original ''VideoGame/MetalGear'', with tons of references to the rest of the series dropped throughout.
52	** Drabble 8 also prominently features Eric and Delilah, who are not only aspiring ''VisualNovel/AceAttorney'' lawyers, but also hold a mock trial in the style of the games.
53	* Drabble 13 has most of the main characters dressing up for [[HalloweenEpisode Howloween]], their costumes including:
54	** Jimmy as [[Film/Scarface1983 Scarface]]
55	** Wallace as [[Series/Goosebumps1995 Slappy]]
56	** Judy as [[WesternAnimation/AliceInWonderland the White Rabbit]]
57	** Carla as [[Franchise/KungFuPanda Master Tigress]]
58	** Clawhauser as [[Literature/CaptainUnderpants Captain Underpants]]
59	* Reynard channeling [[VideoGame/CastlevaniaLamentOfInnocence Leon Belmont]] in one of his boasts to Narwhalter.
60	-->"I'll kill you AND the water!"
61	* [[MemeticMutation "DON'T DAZE HIM]][[ItMakesSenseInContext , HOES!"]]
62	* The Barks and the Pets from Drabble 19 are a pretty blatant one towards ''Theatre/WestSideStory''. It's even mentioned that most of their gang wars usually just involve snapping their fingers a lot and dancing menacingly at each other.
63	* Chapter 36 has Carla chasing Lucy through a haunted house attraction. Naturally, this brings out [[VideoGame/{{Castlevania}} several]] [[VideoGame/ResidentEvil references]] [[Franchise/ScoobyDoo to]] [[Film/Frankenstein1931 various]] [[VideoGame/FiveNightsAtFreddys horror]] [[Film/TheShining franchises]].
64	* Similarly, Bogo's fight with Drummond Rane eventually has both of them using a slew of VideoGame/TeamFortress2 weapons against each other.
65	* Reynard confronts Nick in Chapter 37 [[Franchise/StarWars dressed as Darth Sidious and quoting Darth Vader.]] Naturally, this leads into an all-out LaserBlade duel between the two.
