Line 3: [[File:shoutoutbetter 5843.jpg\|link=JoJo's Bizarre Adventure\|frame\|By the way, the name of the power that brought them to life is called [[Queen\|Bohemian Rhapsody]]]] A [[Shout-Out]] is something subtle (a name, line of dialogue, or prop) in a show that refers to fans or family members of the cast or crew, or to another source of inspiration. By nature, these can be obscure for casual fans. In English class, it is known by the more proper-sounding name, an '''[[allusion]]'''. However, remember that many [[trope]]s, symbols, and such are older than they look and can, often, arise in parallel. So despite (or because of) the ubiquitous nature of some creative properties that doesn't mean that anything that seems somewhat similar is referencing said work. Line 23: * Trojan Condoms: In ''[[The Iliad]]'' the Greek army gets into a giant horse, which gets through the enemy's defenses. Men inside a horse, inside the enemy's walls. [[What Do You Mean Its Not Symbolic]]? [[Analogy Backfire\|And then, after penetrating the enemy fortress, the horse bursts open and all the soldiers inside start rampaging everywhere.]] * There's a Honda advertisement that uses the opening to the Waldstein Sonata by Beethoven. ~~== [[Fan Works]] ==~~ * The titles of the ''[[Psych]]'' fanfic ''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5713948/1/Lassiter_learns_How_To_Bend Lassiter Learns how to Bend]'' as well as its sequels ''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5713983/1/Carltons_Worst_Inhibitions Carlton's Worst Inhibitions]'' and ''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6499181/1/The_Case_of_The_Friendly_Indians The Case of the Friendly Indians]'' are all shout outs to the show's theme song, the first two to the lyrics and the last one to the band who sings it. * ''' EVERYTHING''' in the ''[[Doctor Who]]'' webcomic ''[[Second Empire]]''. Seriously, ''DO NOT'' play the [[All the Tropes Wiki Drinking Game]] if you plan on including all the [[Shout-Out]]s in this thing. It'll be very, ''very'' bad for your health. * How bad is it? The summary (Two Dalek Empires fight for the future of the Dalek race) is a [[Shout-Out]] to [[Doctor Who/Recap/S25/E01 Remembrance of the Daleks\|"Remembrance Of The Daleks"]] and it just goes downhill from there. * In ''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6152050/1/Whose_Gay_Line_Is_It_Anyways Whose Gay Line Is It Anyways]'', the ''[[Glee]]'' club plays a game of [[Whose Line Is It Anyway?\|Questions Only.]] Slash (and [[Hilarity Ensues\|hilarity]]) ensues. ~~{{quote\|'''Puck:''' Do you come here often?~~ ~~'''Kurt:''' Do you normally cruise an art gallery looking for fashionable and attractive men? }}~~ * In ''[[A Dark Knight Over Sin City]]'', when [[Sin City\|Dwight]] first sees [[Batman]], he says, [[All Star Batman and Robin\|"It's the goddamn Batman."]] * In ''[[The Lie I've Lived]]'', a throwaway line has Harry saying, "Yeah, just call me 'Ambassador Potter', expert at foreign diplomacy and purveyor of international goodwill." This refers to one of author's other works, ''[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2889350/1/Bungle_in_the_Jungle_A_Harry_Potter_Adventure Bungle in the Jungle]''. * Lord of the Land of Fire is prone to lacing the plots of his stories with references to things like [[World War Two]] or [[The Bible\|The Book of Revelation]], among other things. * In the ''[[Elemental Chess Trilogy]]'', [[Fullmetal Alchemist\|Ed and Winry Elric]] have a son named Lucas; the author chose the name after Luke from the [[Professor Layton]] games. * ''[[Cruising for a Jobbing]]'', upon discovering that Anna happens to the {{spoiler\| [[Reincarnation]] of [[ABBA\| Agnetha Fältskog]]}}, Charlottle screams out [[The Office\| NO GOD! PLEASE NO!!! NOOOOOOOOOO]]. Anna thought about her response, despite of PG Rules regarding language... which didn't stop her just thinking about a famous ''[[Dexter]]'' scene at the shipyard. == [[Professional Wrestling]] == Line 54 ⟶ 40: * Keilor also mercilessly lampoons other NPR figures in sketches, most notably news correspondents, who show up as voice impressions in ''PHC'' news sketches. Sometimes these pseudo-cameos are identified by name; often they are either un-named or given a ficitonal name, making the shout-out an inside joke among NPR staff and habitual listeners. ~~== [[Toys]] ==~~ * In ''[[G.I. Joe]]'', the redheaded Shana O'Hara was born in the South (specifically, Atlanta, Georgia). She is, indeed, a fierce and attractive Southern belle. Her codename? [[Gone with the Wind\|Scarlett]]. == [[Real Life]] == Line 70 ⟶ 53: There are [http://www.wikimoon.org/index.php?title=Sailor_Moon_flowers several flower varieties called Sailor Moon]. Surprisingly, Naoko Takeuchi makes one of them as part of an artbook drawing, since she loves when fans homage her works, and compliments it back as she can. ''Strigiphilus garylarsoni'', a kind of chewing louse, after the creator of ''[[The Far Side]]'' and his frequently insect-related humour. And [[wikipedia:Thagomizer\|the Thagomizer]]! ''Psephophorus [[Terry Pratchett\|terrypratchetti]]'', a prehistoric turtle which is ''not'' [[Discworld\|large enough to appear on the Hertzsprung-Russell Diagram]]. Terry keeps a fossil of it on his desk. And ''Gingoites nannyoggiae'', a Mesezoic plant. The "Ogg" multimedia format is ''not'' a reference to Nanny Ogg; however once the coincidence was pointed out, the makers named their audio format after Vorbis from ''[[~~Discworld/Small Gods\|~~Small Gods]]''. The trapdoor spider ''Myrmekiaphila neilyoungi'', and inevitably, ''Aptostichus [[Stephen Colbert\|stephencolberti]]''. ** ''Heteropoda davidbowie'', another spider species. Note that one of [[David Bowie]]'s most famous early albums was ''The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars''.
