13** At one point, he calls the two Green Goblins "New Goblin" and "Goblin Classic", as a direct reference to New Coke being an inferior product to Coca-Cola Classic.
14

20
21!!Film/{{Sleepwalkers}}
22* He introduces the cameo characters the same way Film/JayAndSilentBobStrikeBack introduced Creator/MarkHamill: With on-screen text stating "Hey Kids! It's 'X'. [applause]"

24

32
33!!The Christmas Shoes
34* He presents an entire list of real famously bad Christmas songs that he'd rather listen to than the one the movie's based on. Among them is "ANYTHING by Music/CyndiLauper", referencing her numerous poorly-received Christmas song covers.
35* [[WesternAnimation/HowTheGrinchStoleChristmas "And after the film, well, in Jonesborough they say that Necro's small heart shrank twelve sizes that day."]]

60
61!!Top 10 Underappreciated Disney Villains

63-->"We're going to hold onto him by the nose and we're going to kick him in the ass. We're going to kick the hell out of him all the time, and we're going to go through him like crap through a goose!"

71'''Necro:''' Well, what'd you expect, fucktard? Did you think I was gonna shoot myself?
72* Parts of Necro's rant about just how stupid Densuke is were almost directly lifted from the "Stupid! You're so stupid!" line from Film/{{UHF}}.

74

82
83!!WesternAnimation/VanHelsingTheLondonAssignment

86* While writhing in agony from drinking "cyanide", he can be heard screaming "This isn't painless at all! You lied to me, ''Series/{{MASH}}'', suicide hurts like '''HELL'''!" This is a direct reference to said show's opening theme song "Suicide is Painless".

94* Him talking about how the entire fate of Christmas rests on [[Music/{{Beyonce}} liking it enough to put a ring on it.]]

96
97!![[Film/TheSantaClause The Santa Clause 3: The Escape Clause]]
98* Like the movie being reviewed, the episode itself is an Film/ItsAWonderfulLife parody.
99* Necro complains about Devil stealing the "Hey kids, it's 'X'" joke from [[CallBack the Sleepwalkers review]], only for The Guide to point out that Necro originally stole the joke from Film/JayAndSilentBobStrikeBack.

100
101!!WesternAnimation/RudolphAndFrostysChristmasInJuly
102* As the movie tries to connect the Creator/RankinBass specials into a SharedUniverse, the review is loaded with references to the Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse. This culminates in a joke where he presents a made-up PostCreditScene where Creator/SamuelLJackson recruits Rudolph and Frosty (along with the [[WesternAnimation/TheYearWithoutASantaClaus Miser Brothers]], Film/TheLastUnicorn, [[WesternAnimation/TheKingKongShow King Kong]], and [[WesternAnimation/ThunderCats1985 Lion-O]]) to stop [[WesternAnimation/TheKingAndI Kralahome]] from overthrowing [[WesternAnimation/TheHobbit Middle-]][[WesternAnimation/TheReturnOfTheKing Earth]] with an army of [[WesternAnimation/TheLifeAndAdventuresOfSantaClaus Awgwas]].
