Calvin and Hobbes: The Series/Shout-Out

""I DON'T THINK I'M IN KANSAS ANYMORE!""
 * For starters, the series tends to namedrop other works.
 * The opening cribbles wholesale from Garfield and Friends and Spongebob SquarePants.
 * "The Black Turning Funnel" parts 1 & 2 take gags from this Garfield comic and Hank the Cowdog, respectively.
 * The Hypercube seems to be one to Jimmy Neutron.
 * "Home UnAlone", both in name and in the traps that Calvin sets up.
 * Socrates, upon being sucked into a time vortex in "Time Terror":

""Aunty Em? Aunty Em? Are we still in Kansas?""
 * Also, after riding a garbage can in a tornado in "The Sky Is Falling", part 2, Hobbes notes:

"Jack: "How'd it go, Frank?
 * After yet another failed attempt to scare Calvin and co. in "The Great Halloween Heist":

Dr. Brainstorm: "Shut up, TV's Jack."

"Socrates: "Imagine if you will, a character obsessed patent attorney being hired for something that has absolutely nothing to patents! He doesn't know it, but soon this man will be pulled into the deepest regions of the Calvin and Hobbes: The Series zone! Now then..""
 * In one of the marathon framing segments (the one that introduces A Day at The Office):

""WHO LIVES IN A PINEAPPLE UNDER THE SEA! SPONGEBOB SQUAREPANTS! THEY TRY TO SURVIVE THE WRATH OF PEARL! JUST AN EVIL GAL WHO WANTS TO RULE THE WORLD! IT'S TIME TO PARTY FOR GARFIELD AND FRIENDS! HIY, HIY!""
 * A later segment has Andy and Sherman reenacting the Thunderdome joke with Socrates.
 * Calvin's attempt to bug Susie in "A Club's Blow" includes singing this gem:

""AAAHH! I'M NOT GOING TO THE VET! THIS IS A BUGHUNT, MAN! A BUGHUNT! GAME OVER, MAN! GAME OVER! WHAAAAAAAAHH!""
 * Upon deciding to take up being a superhero in "Super Calvin", Calvin declares that he will save the fifth dimension from monkey people.
 * After Sherman's been convinced the vet is evil in "Sherman Goes to the Vet":

"Calvin: (on meeting their future selves) "That's not possible. Those people are adults. Looks like our show has been spliced in with Star Trek or something.""
 * "The Alien Huntress" takes a quick gag from Garfield.
 * "Department Store Horrors" has Calvin briefly dressing up as Pajama Sam.
 * From "RIP Calvin":

"Hobbes: "So... the Borg are a hive mind, right?"
 * "Pranking the Ghosts": Socrates mentions watching a weird video tape and then getting a call from some guy telling him he had seven days to live.
 * Part of Calvin and Hobbes' conversation in "Hypercube":

Calvin: "I think so, yeah."

Hobbes: "So did the show's writers goof when Captain Picard got the name 'Locutus of Borg'? Because that is incredibly un-Borg-like, right?""

"Calvin: "Darkness? It is I, Pajama Sam! I have come to vanquish you!""
 * Hobbes later pretends to be "the elephant thing" from Lord of the Rings.
 * After crashing their sled:

"Spiff: "Wow. R2D2 really let himself go.""
 * The Mind Screw Special Edition Title "The Five Calvins" uses includes the Peter Davidson-era Doctor Who theme.
 * A Dalek and some Cybermen also show up.

"Sherman: Only steal from the best!"
 * Let's be honest here: "The Five Calvins" is really "The Five Doctors" under a "Calvin and Hobbes" filter.
 * When trying to describe the things he's done in "New Year, New Disasters", Andy ends up describing Red Dwarf episodes instead.
 * Evil Jack (from "62 Percent More Evil") is a walking Cliche Storm, having an Exorcist Head and quoting The Little Mermaid, among other things.

"Calvin: (upon several buzzers going off) ACK! WE GOT MOVIE SIGN!
 * In "Electronic Invasion":

Hobbes: Wrong show."

"MTM: Dave, I'm afraid I can't do that.
 * "Robot's Day Out".
 * The narrator outright describes Shadow's crawling up a ledge shortly after being freed from his prison in "Thunderstorm" as The Grudge-like.
 * During "Part Three", when all the electricity in town is going strange, MTM malfunctions and proceeds to act like HAL from 2001: A Space Odyssey.

Calvin: Why?

MTM: I know you and Frank were planning to disconnect me.

Calvin & Hobbes: (beat) What?!"
