Unexpected references

[Eddy-16]

I was playing the new XCOM and I tasered an alien and my soldier said "Yeah! hit him with 1.21 gigawatts"

This is probably the least subtle reference here, but it still made me smile when I saw it.


He makes another 2 or 3 mentions of Captain Planet throughout the episode. He also gets frustrated that no one else notices the similarities between the two agents, and Mulder and Scully from X-Files.

Agent: I don't like it. You should come with us.
Ben: We'll be okay.
Agent: I wish I could believe that... I want to believe...
Kevin: Come on! Am I the only one who sees this? Nobody else watches television but me?

And sorry that this one has ponies, but I think it's pretty amazing.


The posters in the crowd, as well as the music playing during the chase, are both bare an uncanny resemblances to the logo and opening theme from Batman:The Animated Series.

I always liked that one in Baldur's Gate.
While strolling around Cloakwood Forest you meet a guy who's training young Wyverns for his evil purposes.
His name is Peter of the North.
A "master woodsman".

There's an episode in MLP called "Call of Cutie.". Sounds a lot like "Call of Cthulu", don't you think?

I do believe that's meant as "call of duty".
"Duty" rhymes with "cutie".

An unexpected reference I noticed in Friendship is Magic was one to "Apocalypse Now", of all things!

Also the costume is an homage to Darkwing Duck, which in itself is a reference to The Shadow. Also in MLP:FiM, The Big Lebowski reference in the Cutie Pox episode.

Also, a really shitty film called The Marine (starring WWE wrestler John Cena) has John Patrick as the main bad guy, he is famous for playing the Liquid Metal Terminator in Terminator 2. During a chase scene one of the thugs says "This guy is like the Terminator!" refering to Cena's character, but then John Patrick looks directly at the camera (something like that I can't remember exactly) breaking the 4th wall!

From Young Justice:

Miss Martian: "Who'd have thought Martians could catch human viruses?"

Robin: "Uh...H. G. Wells?"

Or Call of Duty :L?
OT: I think it was in Saints Row 3 where you can find something by the name of "Missing Ships" that says things like "USG Ishimura" (From Dead Space) and the Borealis (From the Half-Life/Portal universe)

This right here:

I never expected a Japanese visual novel to reference that as one of its tracks.
