A lot of them seem real from what evidence is posted. It seems to be a purposely shout out heavy work.

Reality is that, which when you stop believing in it, doesn't go away. -Philip K. Dick

Not necessarily. Last I checked shoutout's are a deliberate reference not just something in a work that is similar or influenced/inspired by something in another work. Some of the evidence is "It is similar or looks like something it must be a shout out!"

Is Shout out even a proper name space?

It is, it's been done when massively popular films/games have a giant load of 'em and it won't all fit on a Trivia page comfortably. See: Borderlands 2, Pacific Rim...

Well if it works it works.

(Please note: Shout-Out is not Trivia and should not go on Trivia pages, although a lot of people put it there.)

That was the amazing part. Things just keep going.

No one mentioned it being trivia here and it has already been handled rather nicely.

I think Tel was just making a general FYI comment for anyone reading who wasn't aware of it.

It was with reference to what E Kono Mai said, "it won't all fit on a Trivia page".

That was the amazing part. Things just keep going.
