Superjail/Shout-Out

General References

 * The Twins wear outfits that are similar to the sandman uniforms from Logan's Run.
 * The centaur-pegasus thing that the Warden sometimes is riding looks very similar to Mrs. Whatsit from A Wrinkle in Time.

Season One

 * The basis for the dream organ was lifted from The 5000 Fingers of Dr. T.
 * The Time Police were based on Cheap Trick's "Dream Police," with the helmets from Bubblegum Crisis.
 * The whole legend of War-denn is a reference to the legend of El-ahrairah from Watership Down.
 * Compare the cell the Master is being held in during his trial in the Doctor Who Made for TV Movie to the cell the Warden is in during his trial.
 * "Cold-Blooded": a number of prisoners are wearing Slipknot masks and two are painted up like the Insane Clown Posse; the psychopath brought to Superjail by mistake is based on Ed Gein. The episode also features both Andrew Wyeth's oft-parodied painting "Christina's World" as scenery and Wampas in Superjail's cellar.
 * "Don't Be a Negaton": in the space-dust induced hallucination, the Twins ride in a Yellow Submarine. The weird aesthetics of the Mushroom Samba are also reminiscent of the film.
 * In the first episode, the Warden seems to sing a particularly off-key parody of "Love Shack" by the B-52's. It took this troper a few viewings to even recognize it.
 * The Twins create Combaticus (from the episode of the same name) in a pod similar to Seth Brundle's matter transport pod. Combaticus' "commercial" shows him shattering someone's skull with a punch, just like the infamous scene from The Story of Ricky (incidentally a film set in a very violent prison).
 * Combaticus comes out to music not entirely unlike Stone Cold Steve Austin's theme.
 * "Terrorarium": Jared touches a drop of the liquid that makes things grow to a huge size, but he becomes instead green and over-muscled. He then begins a fistfight with Alice.

Season Two

 * "Lord Stingray Crash Party": Lord Stingray and the spec ops team trying to capture him are clearly a parody of Cobra Commander and G.I. Joe.
 * "Hotchick": the premise of the episode, a shape-shifting alien hunter coming to Earth to find and kill a rare but dangerous species, is similar to the one of Critters.
 * "Gay Wedding": the fight between the two gangs of gay inmates is a parody of West Side Story.
 * "Ghosts": There are a few Poltergeist references when Superjail becomes possessed, such as the Warden dreaming of ripping off his own face, being lifted and thrown across the walls and ceiling of the room by an invisible force, and being surrounded by corpses.
 * "Jailbot 2.0": One of the discarded robots has a pixelated "face" that looks like the one of the Mooninites in Aqua Teen Hunger Force.
 * There's an unusual one in the intro: at one point Jailbot passes what seems a rendition of Henry Fuseli's "The Nightmare".
 * "Superjail Grand Prix" is a Homage to Wacky Races, with a couple possible nods to Cars.
 * Don't forget the space portion of the Superjail Grand Prix with a rainbow for a track. Obviously a nod to Mario Kart.
 * "Mayhem Donor": There is a part where the Superjail staff and some of the inmates fight the giant spare body part abomination using a giant mecha which has a bunch of drills come out of it, Gurren Lagan perhaps?
