2----
3* The site's logo is a ''Franchise/SuperMarioBros'' 1-Up Mushroom with a stylized V on the front.
4* Vinny [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=THbKeJhbs5U once]] channeled [[Film/WillyWonkaAndTheChocolateFactory Willy Wonka]] when banning Tame.
5* To Website/ThisVeryWiki in the [[http://youtu.be/W545DP8CmWQ?t=1m32s "Donkey Kong Country Corruptions" video]]. And again when displaying on-stream the ''Tomodachi Life'' character sheet.
6* From Vinny during his streams of ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaALinkBetweenWorlds'':
7** He ends up playing the "Eric the Half a Bee" song from ''Series/MontyPythonsFlyingCircus'' after getting the Bee Badge, which he ends up liking despite initially being disappointed after buying the golden bee required to get the badge.
8** He comments that Stalblind fights using a [[VideoGame/PokemonXAndY Honedge]] during the boss fight with him. In the following stream, he refers to a fairy as a [[VideoGame/PokemonRedAndBlue Clefairy]] while commenting on how little HP they restore compared to previous games.
9** He refers to the Ku enemies as [[Franchise/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles Ninja Turtles]] after Link encounters a fairly large group of them in the seventh stream.
10* While discussing the [[NonIndicativeName awful name]] of ''Hack 2'' during a stream of various ''VideoGame/SuperMarioWorld'' ROM hacks, Vinny proposes [[LetsPlay/ElectricalBeast "Mario's Evil Time Gods"]] as another name. For added effect, he says it in a British accent.
11* Havel the Rock, KY's "pet" from ''VideoGame/{{Spelunky}}'', is named after a character from ''VideoGame/DarkSouls''.
12* The streamers really enjoy referencing the Trash Man, a ProfessionalWrestling character created by Frank Reynolds (Creator/DannyDeVito's character) from ''Series/ItsAlwaysSunnyInPhiladelphia'', for whatever reason.
13* Jen's username on Twitter and [=YouTube=] used to be [[VideoGame/UmJammerLammy Um Jammer Jenny]].
14* From Vinny during his ''VideoGame/SuperMarioBros3Mix'' streams:
15** During his second stream, he gave one to its creator, Captain Southbird, after finding out that not only is he a Vinesauce regular, he happens to be "that guy" who made abridged versions of the ''WebVideo/VinesauceTomodachiLife'' streams.
16** During one stream, he joked that his PAX East-induced hoarseness was actually occurring because he was turning into a bug, comparing the concept to ''Literature/TheMetamorphosis''. He also discovered that he was somehow able to speak more clearly if he spoke using a Creator/ChristopherWalken impression.
17* Vinny referring to "massive drugs" during his 2015 ''Super Mario Bros. X'' contest led Southbird to respond by covering the screen in his highlight video of that stream with multiple copies of a drugstore sign from the Japanese version of ''VideoGame/{{EarthBound|1994}}'' (most such signs were changed to say "SHOP" instead of "DRUGS" in the North American version).
18* During Vinny's playthrough of ''[[VideoGame/PokemonSunAndMoon Pokémon Moon]]'', he intended to reference Alolan Persian's resemblance to ComicStrip/{{Garfield}} by naming his Alolan Meowth after him, but he ended up typing "Garfeilf" instead. Later on, he obtained a Salazzle with the nickname "VideoGame/{{Bayonetta}}" and a Trubbish with the nickname "[[Creator/DannyDeVito DeVito]]" (referencing [[Series/ItsAlwaysSunnyInPhiladelphia the Trash Man]]).
19* Vinny has acknowledged that the names of Vinesauce and WebVideo/{{Vsauce}} coincidentally resemble each other, noting during a stream of ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaOcarinaOfTime 3D'' that Vsauce and his Website/YouTube channel happened to be registered within months of each other.
20* Vinny compared the area where Yeto is found in ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaTwilightPrincess'' to the top of Death Peak from ''VideoGame/ChronoTrigger'' (he streamed both ''Twilight Princess HD'' and ''Chrono Trigger'' in early 2016). After getting the cannon leading to the City in the Sky repaired, he made another reference to a 16-bit Creator/{{Square|Enix}} game, this time referencing the cannon travel in ''VideoGame/SecretOfMana''.
21* During a stream of ''VideoGame/KirbyTripleDeluxe'', Vinny comments that he thinks that Bonkers looks like a member of Music/{{Gorillaz}}, adding "if you'll pardon the pun" to what he says because Bonkers is an ape.
22* From Vinny during his ''VideoGame/Splatoon1'' streams:
23** The owner of the ''WebVideo/TwitchPlaysPokemon'' account was in the chat during his first true stream of the game (as opposed to the ''Global Testfire'' demo, which was featured in the first two streams on the Full Sauce channel) and he complimented the fact that thousands of people finished a game, jokingly adding that he preferred when a fish beat ''Franchise/StreetFighter''.
24** When he was participating in the Cats Vs. Dogs Splatfest in the 12th stream, he randomly sang a ''Splatoon''-themed parody of [[Music/AbbeyRoad "Come Together"]] by Music/TheBeatles.
25* During GPM's streams of attempted restorations of ''VideoGame/BSTheLegendOfZelda'', which try to recreate the voice acting present in the original broadcasts as part of the restoration process, GPM occasionally made references to ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaCDiGames'', particularly {{YouTube Poop}}s based on them, because they and the ''BS Zelda'' games were among the few ''Zelda'' games to have extensive voice acting until ''[[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaBreathOfTheWild Breath of the Wild]]''.
26* From Vinny's streams of ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaBreathOfTheWild'':
27** During the eighth stream, he commented that he had previously entered the Divine Beast Vah Ruta and commented that the phrase "I entered the mechanical elephant" (referring to Vah Ruta) sounds similar to the name of a Music/MarilynManson song.
28** During the 13th stream, while in the process of getting to Vah Rudania, he mentioned getting flashbacks of [[VideoGame/DiddyKongRacing racing up a mountain to fight Wizpig]].
29** Vinny referenced "Hurt" by Music/NineInchNails during a couple of streams. After getting to the Vah Rudania, he said "I hurt myself today" after he fell off and into the lava and while doing the Master Trial after the release of the first DLC pack he sang a variant in the form of "I japed myself today" using an impression of Trent Reznor's voice and singing style.
30** Vinny often compared the Climbing set of armor to the outfit worn by Serge from ''VideoGame/ChronoCross'', particularly after dyeing it.
31* In a similar vein, Vinny frequntly says or sings [[Music/SimonAndGarfunkel "Hello, darkness, my old friend"]] when things are going especially badly for him, particularly in ''Mario Kart 8'' streams. He also played the actual song as he committed suicide in ''VideoGame/{{Subnautica}}''.
32* Vinny referred to Fifi the dog from ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaTheMinishCap'' as Emperor Gestahl from ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVI'', referencing how the graphical designers for the latter game unintentionally made Emperor Gestahl's sprite look like a dog, which is something even Creator/SquareEnix [[http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Gestahl#Final_Fantasy_XIV is aware of]].
33* Vinny is a fan of ''WesternAnimation/RickAndMorty''. In addition to many sudden (and brief) Rick impressions, he said that the zipper-faced-looking people in ''VideoGame/BubsyVisitsTheJamesTurrellRetrospective'' are secretly Gazorpazorps, and calls the Floaters in ''VideoGame/{{Subnautica}}'' as "fleebs" (the resemblance ''is'' uncanny).
34* Vinny has recently started following up telling the audience "I told you so" by saying, [[WesternAnimation/RenAndStimpy "I TOLD ya, but ya didn't believe me! WHY DIDN'T YOU BELIEVE ME?"]] in an increasingly exaggerated voice.
