Line #34 ShoutOut/DestroyAllHumans


1	* The entire series is an {{homage}} to ''Film/MarsAttacks'', ''Film/MenInBlack'', ''WesternAnimation/InvaderZim'', and other alien related movies and shows.
2	* The Blue Moon Drive-In Theater during ''[[Film/TeenagersFromOuterSpace Teenage Zombies From Outer Space]]'' before changing the film is playing a clip from the infamous movie ''Film/Plan9FromOuterSpace''. You get to see some b-movies from the 1950s (most of which being the more SoBadItsGood ones) in the Archives of the mothership.
3	* Crypto and Pox both discuss possible future VideoGames in the third game, giving shout outs to ''Franchise/SuperMarioBros'', ''Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog'', ''Franchise/{{Halo}}'', and games based on movies, all in the same conversation.
4	* Path of the Furon has the mission [[Film/CloseEncountersOfTheThirdKind Close Encounters of the Furon Kind]] where you have to reply to cultists beeping tones at your ship.
5	-->'''Pox''':Great Arkvoodle! The fools think we have a musical language!
6	-->'''Crypto''':Nobody ''talks'' music, that's stupid!
7	** Destroy All Humans! 2 also features both a ShoutOut to ''Franchise/StarWars'' and to ''Film/TheMatrix''.
8	-->'''Crypto:''' (To Dr. Go!) My name is Luk-I mean, Cryptosporidium. I'm here to rescue you.
9	-->'''Pox:''' (In reference to Crypto being Son of Arkvoodle) Crypto! What if it's true?! What if you're ''THE ONE''?!\
10	'''Crypto:''' Well, I ''did'' take a red pill this morning, heheh.
11	* Seen when reading the thoughts of a female hippie resident of Bay City:
12	--> "[[Film/ANewHope The Adventures of Luke Starkiller]]"? [[ItWillNeverCatchOn Ha! Dream on]], [[Creator/GeorgeLucas Georgie boy]]!
13	* Panicking citizens of Albion may spout references to ''Franchise/{{Quatermass}}'', ''Music/DavidBowie'', and ''Series/DoctorWho''. Throw one with your saucer's tractor beam or Psychokinesis and one citizen may just scream, [[Literature/NineteenEightyFour "Double-plus ungood!"]], which is also heard sometimes when the alert level in Albion goes to red.
14	* Some of the armed Cosmonauts in the second game might tell Crypto whilst attacking "[[Film/{{Alien}} In Space, no one can be hearing you screaming!]]"
15	* "[[Series/MightyMorphinPowerRangers Mighty Morphing Power Alien!]]"
16	* The Fantasy Atoll level in ''Big Willy Unleashed'' is a giant shout-out to ''Series/FantasyIsland'', right down to expies of Mr. Roarke and Tattoo (only with the bodies flipped).
17	** One of the people you meet there is a scientist in the middle of a fanatsy of [[Series/GilligansIsland being stranded on an island]].
18	** When told the only way to destroy the Mr. Roarke expy's anti-Furon amulent is to toss it into a volcano, Crypto sarcastically asks if they need to [[Literature/LordOfTheRings form a fellowship]].
19	** The final mission of the stage is a boss fight with a weaponized cruise ship christened [[Series/TheLoveBoat the Hate Boat]].
20	* In the first game, Crypto is a [[Music/MarilynManson red-eyed, genitalia-lacking space alien.]]
21	* Silhouette, female badass extraordinaire, known only by her code name, is [[VideoGame/MetalGearSolid3SnakeEater a patriot]].
22	* In the fourth mission of Takoshima, if you try to talk to Professor Yuki with a non-White Ninja disguise, Crypto will attempt to hit on her, only for it to fail:
23	-->'''Crypto''': [[Film/FullMetalJacket I got five dollar, you love me long time?]].
24	** This is also parodied in the thoughts of a Japanese co-ed, who claims she'll kick a GI agent in the nads if they say this to her again.
25	* Some of the Free Love quotes pedestrians say make reference to songs that are popular during the 60s. Some examples are [[Music/JamesBrown Sex Machine]], [[Music/TheMamasAndThePapas Creeque Alley]], and many by Music/TheKinks and Music/TheWho.
26	* A passing reference to Music/SteelyDan is made during the cutscene in "Where Have All The Flower Children Gone?", when Coyote Bongwater is finishing his meditation session with two female hippies.
27	-->'''Bongwater''': Remember, wherever you go, I'll be there. The shine of your Japan, the sparkle in your China.
28	-->'''Female Hippies''': Bodhisattva, Bodhisattva.
29	* Also serving as a TakeThat, while reading the minds of the inhabitants of Takoshima, a kamikaze soldier will have this thought:
30	--> "Hey Mickey Rooney, I saw Film/BreakfastAtTiffanys, and I know where you live!"
31	* Sometimes, while using Psychokinesis on multiple objects in Bay City without destroying or killing anyone, a female hippie will say "[[Music/JesusChristSuperstar What's the buzz? Tell me, what's a-happening!]] followed by a quick giggle. Crypto also says this quote before starting "From Russia With Guns".
32	* When Armquist shows up in a HumongousMecha after Crypto agrees to "do things [Armquist's] way":
33	--> '''Crypto:''' [[Film/ThePrincessBride Your way's not very sportsmanlike...]]
34	* The opening scene of the second game features this when the KGB assassin approaches Crypto.
35	-->'''Crypto''': You expect me to beg, human?
36	-->'''KGB agent''': (points gun at Crypto's face) [[Film/{{Goldfinger}} No, little Furon, I expect you to die]].
37	* There are several towards ''Film/TheGraduate'' in Bay City during the second game:
38	** The Gene Blend that makes body-snatching easier for Bay City women who are squares is titled "[[Music/SimonAndGarfunkel Hey Mrs. Robinson!]]".
39	** In another reference to The Graduate, a Bay City hippie might think about "plastics".
40	** "Wanna hear the sounds of silence?"
41	** Scare a Bay City hippie, and he might go screaming for Elaine.
42	* Patty Wurst in ''Big Willy Unleashed'' addresses that Big Willy's [[Film/SoylentGreen is people]].
43	* In Bay City, you can find posters advertising [[Music/CaptainBeefheart Captain Beefword]].
44	* Among the lines that Pox can say if you try to buy an upgrade without enough DNA:
45	** [[Music/PinkFloyd "If you don't eat your meat, you can't have any pudding."]]
46	** [[Music/{{Madonna}} "We are living in a material world, Crypto, and I am a material... Furon."]]
47	* Pox delivers a PrecisionFStrike Shout-out when he's unsuccessful in phoning home for backup after the mothership is destroyed.
48	-->'''Admiral Cyclosporiasis''': This conversation is over. Sit tight, I'll send someone to pick you up as soon as I can spare a rescue pod from the fleet. ''[hangs up]''\
49	'''Pox''': Hello? Hello??? [[Franchise/BattlestarGalactica Frak!]]\
50	'''Crypto''': "Frak"?\
51	'''Pox''': Ancient Cylon curse word.
52	* A hippie leader in the second game can be heard yelling "This is the spawning of the cage and aquarium!", a nod to the Music/TheyMightBeGiants song "Cage & Aquarium", which was a riff on "Aquarius" from ''Theatre/{{Hair}}''.
53	* The Octagon, DAH's version of The Pentagon, is shown to be in a state of ruin. Almost as though it was bombed. This is a clear reference to the 2001 September 11th attacks, in which American Airlines Flight 77 was hijacked and was deliberately crashed into The Pentagon.
54	* In the remake, the splash art for "Citizen Crypto" features Crypto [[Film/InvasionOfTheBodySnatchers1978 pointing and screaming at the viewer]]. The splash art for "Furon Down" has Crypto [[Film/GoldFinger strapped to a table with a laser slowly approaching his crotch]].
55	* Several of the mission names are plays on movie titles. In some cases the title cards also are pastiches of the movie posters.
56	** [[Film/DestinationMoon Destination Earth]]
57	** [[Film/EarthGirlsAreEasy Earth Women Are Delicious]]
58	** [[Film/CitizenKane Citizen Crypto]]
59	** [[Film/ThisIslandEarth This Island Suburbia]]
60	** [[Film/NorthByNorthwest South by Southwest]]
61	** [[Film/MrSmithGoesToWashington Mr. Crypto Goes to Capitol City]]
62	** [[Film/AttackOfThe50FootWoman Attack of the 50-Foot President!]]
63	* Some of the random thoughts you can scan in the first game:
64	** [[Literature/CharlottesWeb "'Some pig?' On a spider's web? What in the world could that mean?"]]
65	** "I guess there's nothin' wrong with animals peaceably organizing. After all, it is an Literature/{{animal farm}}."
66	** From a cop: "Now if only I could find a cowboy, an Indian, and a construction worker, I could start my own singing group. What would we call ourselves? [[Music/TheVillagePeople The Town People, the Village Folk or something.]]" [=NPCs=] in cowboy getups also have a similar thought, only involving a policeman instead of a cowboy.
67	** "What would Creator/MarlonBrando do? [[Theatre/AStreetcarNamedDesire STELLA! STEEEEELLAAAA!]]"
68	* The mission to convert the White Ninjas to the Cult of Arkvoodle in the second game has [[Film/MontyPythonsLifeOfBrian a dialogue sequence of Crypto trying to convince the White Ninjas to think for themselves, only for the White Ninja leader to just mindlessly repeat everything he says]].
69	--> '''Crypto:''' You're all individuals!\
70	'''White Ninja Leader:''' Hai! We all individuals!\
71	'''Random Ninja:''' I'm not...
