Works with their own subpages:


Other Works:

  • In 3000 Whys of Blue Cat: Dinosaur Times Series episode 4, Naughty's plan to scare a dinosaur hits a hitch when a malfunction causes Blue Cat's dinosaur suit to sound like Daffy Duck singing "Jingle Bells".
  • 4 Angies: Some of the toys the principle plays with in episode 11 are Power Rangers/Super Sentai-looking minifigures. In addition, one of the toys he has on a shelf looks like Batman.
  • In the English version of episode 8 of Boonie Bears, Logger Vick expresses disdain at not being able to find the bears, saying it's like chasing after "teenage mutant ninja bears".
  • Bread Barbershop:
    • In "Butter Fingers", Butter and a woman are seen re-enacting the "I'm flying" scene from Titanic (1997).
    • In "Wilk's Story", Wilk paraphrases a quote from A New Hope while begging Master Bread to help him with his milk label.
      Wilk: Help me, Obi-Bread Kenobi! You're my only hope!
    • In "Movie Star Bread", Wilk proudly exclaims that his "barber level is over 9000", a reference to a famous meme from Dragon Ball Z. Later in that episode, Wilk wears armor with a scouter on it like the ones in Dragon Ball Z as part of his movie outfit.
  • One episode of Canimals is called "Can Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest".
  • Crazy Candies: In Season 2 episode 31, to upset the Jackey robot's stomach and get it to vomit out everything it's swallowed, Marshyo and Jackey do the Gangham Style dance.
  • Flower Angel: In Season 2 episode 31, Xia An'an is sad that Kukuru can simply play games at home, and it cuts to Kukuru playing Fruit Ninja on a tablet. Qianhan then mentions that Lulu and Lushu don't go out much either since they have become obsessed with My Love From Another Star, a Korean drama; it cuts to them watching the series and crying.
  • Lamput:
    • The episode "Fracture" features a song which sounds extremely similar to "Eye of the Tiger" during the montage where the docs help get the fractured Lamput back into good condition.
    • In "Art Gallery", the docs chase Lamput into a room in the art museum with lots of gravity-defying stairways, much like M.C. Escher's famous "Relativity" piece.
    • In "Alien Again", the docs' boss appears on the cover of an issue of TIME Magazine.
    • Season 3's "Wig" features a musical cue that sounds exactly like the beginning of Marvin Gaye's song "Let's Get It On". The cue plays three times, first when Fat Doc initially sees Slim Doc with a woman's hair, again when Slim Doc grabs Fat Doc's hand as they prepare to go get some ice cream, and once more after Lamput repositions himself to look like Slim Doc's hair.
  • The Content Warning at the beginning of every M.K. 22 episode is patterned off of the one used in South Park. The warnings in both shows mention stuff like the celebrity voices being impersonations and that the show is not suitable for anyone due to mature content.
  • Motu Patlu: One episode is about Motu getting injected with a Super-Strength serum which makes him grow in size, similar to The Incredible Hulk. Fittingly, the episode is called "The Bulk".
  • In Episode 4 of Nana Moon, Keke has trouble getting her transformation badge to work how she wants and goes through several forms before becoming the racer she was aiming for. One of her other transformations here is an Ultraman costume.
  • One episode of Noonbory and the Super 7 is titled "Play it Again, Luky!"
  • Oddbods:
    • The one-minute episode "Dance Off" has Pogo dancing the Gangnam Style, only to be tackled twice in annoyance.
    • "Perfect Night's Squeak" is a setup of Tom and Jerry cartoons.
  • PangPond: In "Babysitter", PangPond plays a pretend lightsaber duel with LhinPing, his younger sister.
  • Rimba Racer:
    • At one point, after obtaining something plot significant, comes the line "So much trouble for something so small!" Given what Meika is doing at that moment, the fact that it's spoken by Boromir in the original serves as foreshadowing.
    • Star Wars is also quoted at one point: "You're all clear, kid! Now let's blow this thing and go home!"
  • SEER: The Season 10 intro depicts the characters in the Minecraft art style.
  • Tobot Galaxy Detectives: In "Giant Shark Attack!", after the titular giant shark flings away Team Mayhem, the scene transitions to a shot of the Jaws poster with Moe in place of the boat, and "Galaxy Detectives" as the title.
  • Yamucha's-Kung Fu Academy started out as a group of fifteen web shorts in 2004 before becoming a TV show in 2007. The original shorts are parodies of Jurassic Park, Titanic (1997), and Chinese cinema.
