* Be it novel, video game, comic or TV show, anything related to ''[[Star Wars]]'' will do this without shame. We can only assume the makers of Pepto-Bismol must be filthy rich in this universe, what with everyone having a bad feeling about this and that...▼
* When one registers for online content on the ''St. Louis Post-Dispatch'' website, one of the password recovery questions asks for the airspeed of an unladen swallow.▼
** When one registers for an account on the ''[[Drunkard's Walk]]'' forums, one of the "I'm not a robot" questions asks for the airspeed of an unladen swallow.▼
* A Filipino snack ad best described, as one comment put it, as "SACRILEGE TO [[Lucky Star]]." In terms of character designs, ''[[Sailor Moon]]'' wasn't spared either.
* In the New York area,{{context}}<!-- Upstate or City? --> there's a store called B&H, whose advertisements involve [[2001: A Space Odyssey|a guy named Dave and a robot named Hal]].
Line 54 ⟶ 49:
** During the Battle Royal in 2011, pay attention to AJ as she really gets into [https://youtu.be/88opYNwGCgU?t=5m21s character] with a [[Mortal Kombat| familiar involving fans by her character]].
== [[Radio]] ==
* Garrison Keilor and Ira Glass have a fake feud going on, whereby they slip little insults to one another into their respective radio shows or public appearances. In Keilor's case, these often take the shape of mentions of Glass in his ''[[A Prairie Home Companion|Prairie Home Companion]]'' sketches, impressions of Glass done by his actors, or pastiches of Glass' broadcasting style.
** The ersatz Keilor/Glass feud is itself a shout-out to [[Jack Benny]] and [[Fred Allen]], two giants of the Golden Age of Radio, who first hit upon this idea as a running (and recognised) prank on the audience.
Line 60 ⟶ 55:
== [[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]] ==

* A lot of taxonomic names end up being Shout Outs to things. Often it's to the scientist who discovered it or to the location it was discovered, but there are some more unusual ones:
** A spongelike fungus is named ''spongiforma [[SpongeBob SquarePants|squarepantsii]]''.
