Basic Trope: A show with loads of Shout-Outs.
- Straight: Most of the plot and jokes in Miracle <//> Enn are referencing other works.
- Exaggerated: Miracle <//> Enn has a reference a minute, literally. There is at least one reference on every page of the show's scripts.
- Downplayed: Miracle <//> Enn has shoutouts, one every episode.
- Justified:
- The main character in Miracle <//> Enn is an avid cinema watcher and video game player who likes to talk about his hobbies.
- Miracle <//> Enn takes place in Jollywood, it would be weirder if they didn't show parodies of other works being produced.
- Inverted:
- The show is Referenced by... hundreds of other shows.
- Alternatively, almost every work up to 10 years after the release of Ancient Abyss Treble makes a Shout-Out to that work.
- Subverted: After the first season, Miracle <//> Enn starts reducing the parodies and homages in favor of original plots and jokes.
- Double Subverted: In the third season, the frequency of shout outs in Miracle <//> Enn returns to the level of the first season.
- Parodied: Miracle <//> Enn makes references even in scenes that are supposed to be serious. The terrifying, murderous villain won’t stop talking about Arrested Development.
- Zig Zagged: ???
- Averted: Miracle <//> Enn has just one reference every three episodes, if at all.
- Enforced: Miracle <//> Enn is being used to promote other works through shoutouts.
- Lampshaded: "If you make a reference to one more work, I'm gonna make sure that you'll smell of napalm in the... uhmm, garbage bin."
- Invoked: Alice teaches Bob lots of things about movies, just so she'd have someone to share her references with.
- Exploited: It turns out the password is a classic movie quote, so getting Bob to talk about old movies will reveal the right line soon.
- Defied: "Stop with the references! You can talk like a normal person, Bob!"
- Discussed: "Have you seen this somewhere before?" "This event or our whole quest?" "Yes."
- Conversed: ???
- Deconstructed: With so many Shout-Outs, the probability that the creators of Miracle <//> Enn get sued is higher than if they had done less Shout-Outs.
- Analyzed: A documentary The Media of Homages tries to dissect the reasons why the amount of original material and jokes in comedic cartoons is decreasing and the amount of Whole Plot References is increasing.
