Line 31:
** You can't learn anything about being a spy from [[Spies Like Us|Chevy Chase]], even if he was Roark
* [[Expy]]:
** Most of the more competent non-main character spies have at least some measure of Bond in them (the rest by and large trend toward MiB [[Shout
*** Cole Barker is Daniel Craig's Bond;
*** Roan Montgomery is Sean Connery's Bond;
Line 39:
** Casey's old team is an evil version of ''[[The A-Team (TV)|The A-Team]]''.
** In "Chuck Versus the CAT Squad", the all-female CAT Squad, Sarah's old team, is obviously based on ''[[Charlies Angels]]''.
* [[Fake American]]: Yvonne Strahovski is Australian, and briefly [[
** Strahovski is actually Polish-Australian; English is her second language. Of course, Sarah spoke Polish in at least one episode.
* [[Hey, It's That Guy!]]:
** [[Scrubs|Gift Shop Girl]] (after dyeing her hair black) is Chuck's sister.
** [[Firefly|Jayne Cobb]] is an NSA agent!
Line 49:
** [[The Drew Carey Show|Oswald]] is a Ring agent.
** [[Rocky IV|Ivan Drago]] is a Volkoff operative.
*** As if just being there wasn't enough, he even makes at least two [[Shout
** [[Terminator|Sarah Connor]] is Chuck and Ellie's mom and [[Quantum Leap|Sam Beckett]] is their dad.
** Volkoff is [[James Bond]] and [[Doctor Who
** [[Reaper (TV)|The Devil]] is Volkoff's lawyer.
** The character "Greta" is [[Attack of the Show (TV)|Olivia Munn]], [[Firefly (TV)|River Tam]], [[The Man Your Man Could Smell Like (Advertising)|The Man Your Man Could Smell Like]], and [[WWE|Stacy Keibler]].
Line 57:

** [[The Mummy Trilogy|Imhotep]] and [[Daredevil|the Kingpin]] are FULCRUM agents.
** [[Crusade
*** Which makes Chuck's ''[[Tron (Film)|Tron]]'' poster all the more interesting.
** Chuck has to battle noted HITG Richard Burgi (''[[The Sentinel (TV)|The Sentinel]], [[Desperate Housewives]], [[Twenty Four]]'') to save Sarah. He's also the guy who insulted [[Firefly (TV)|Jayne]] and his cunning hat. ("That hat makes you look like an idiot.")
Line 72:
** Casey Hendershot, [[Deadliest Warrior]] expert, appears twice as a mook. An Iranian villain from "Chuck vs. The A-Team" was (ironically) the lead IDF simulation actor.
* [[No Export for You]]/[[Screwed By the Network]]: In the UK, and waiting for the start of Season 5? You'll be waiting for a while - Sky decided they didn't want to purchase the rights to show the fifth & final season of the show, and it's not likely someone else will purchase the rights for ''just'' the final season since Sky still own the rights to (And show, for that matter) the first four seasons. [[Replacement Scrappy|But it's okay, because Sky have several new shows that they're sure you'll enjoy]].
* [[Shout
* [[Truth in Television]]: As in the plot of ''Chuck Versus Tom Sawyer'', many old arcade games do indeed have a "kill screen" where achieving a high enough level or score can generate bugged levels or cause other unusual effects. However Missile Command is actually ''not'' one of them, and merely loops back to the beginning when a certain point is reached.
** This can be excused, however, if one takes the designer at his word when he says that only he can access the Missile Command kill screen, and that Rush's Tom Sawyer is the "pattern of the universe." The game possibly requires following a particular pattern to access it, which only he knows (and is synced to Tom Sawyer...somehow).
