1* Numerous ones to ''Series/DoctorWho'' (old and new), ''Franchise/SilentHill'', ''Franchise/ResidentEvil'', and ''Franchise/MortalKombat''. He often even gets into the stuff only intense fans would recognize.
2** One of his videos ends with him dying (at the end of ''Film/StayAlive2006''), with the Fifth Doctor's last words, "I might regenerate... I don't know... it feels... different this time."
3** And in his follow-up to ''that'', ''Film/HouseOfTheDead'', he manages to combine one of the endings of ''VideoGame/SilentHillShatteredMemories'' with the Fourth Doctor's regeneration.
4* The end of his review of ''Nightmare City'' features a parody/reenactment of the ending to VideoGame/SuperMarioBros2, complete with the soundtrack.
5** He did this earlier at the end of his review of ''Day of the Dead 2''.
6* Sometimes he likes to subvert the expectations his fans have about his shout-outs. One time, he said that the viewer was probably expecting a clip of [[Series/DoctorWho The Doctor]] saying "I don't want to go!" (the Tenth Doctor's last words). He instead shows a clip of the ''Third'' Doctor saying "I don't want to go."
7* The entire sketch on the end of his second ''Film/FunnyGames'' review is a tribute to the Tenth Doctor's departure.
8* "''Boogeyman 2'' in Danube Seconds" is a retelling of the movie in the style of Creator/HansVonHozel.
9* A park ranger [[Radio/TheFrantics boots a guy in the head]] in ''Swamp Zombies''.
10* He drops quite a few references to ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'', such as when he played some of "Crazy Homer's" dialogue in his review of ''Film/TheAmityvilleHorror2005''.
11* To [[AndThereWasMuchRejoicing celebrate Laurie's death]] in ''Film/HalloweenII2009'', he briefly plays "[[Film/TheWizardOfOz Ding-Dong! The Witch Is Dead]]" before revealing the film's actual music for that part: "[[SoundtrackDissonance Love Hurts]]".
12* In his review of ''WesternAnimation/SleepingBeautyJetlagProductions'', he uses the phrase "[[Series/TheOReillyFactor no-spin zone]]" when discussing the kingdom's spinning wheel ban. For bonus points, he gives the king a speech bubble saying "[[MemeticMutation We'll do it live!]]"
13* In "Animal Soccer World", he plays the ''VideoGame/PunchOut'' theme over a scene of the Black Panther fighting with a dog.
