** 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.

* 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.
