Line 10:
** There's also a mention of ''[[Full Metal Jacket]]''. Animal Mother's line "Flush out your headgear, new guy." was also used by Casey at one point.
** The first thing Scott Bakula says to Ellie? [[Quantum Leap|"Oh boy."]]
** Emmett yelling "[[Arrested Development (TV series)|No touching!]]" at the hordes of Tyler Martin fans.
*** Speaking of Tyler Martin, he's pretty much what [[Lost|Charlie]] might have become if Locke hadn't helped him kick the drug habit.
** In "Chuck Versus the Three Words," Morgan says that Carina is not some girl, but "basically a Swedish supermodel." Which is exactly what Mini Anden is in real life. (You may have seen her as the former face of Armani Code.)

** In "Chuck Versus First Class," Hannah sees a character played by [[Stone Cold Steve Austin]] and tries to guess his profession-- "A professional wrestler, maybe?"
** In "Chuck Versus the Mask", Hannah (Kristin Kreuk) mentions how handsome she thinks Shaw (Brandon Routh) looks. In that same scene, Chuck retorts with "Sure, if you're into the strong, Superman-y type of guy" - A twofer, as [[Superman Returns|Routh previously played Superman]], and [[Smallville|Kreuk previously played Clark Kent's first love]].
** Chuck constantly referring to Dr. Leo Dreyfus in "Chuck Versus the Tooth" (as played by [[Christopher Lloyd]]) as [[Back to The Future|"Doc."]] {{spoiler|He then gets Chuck [[One Flew Over the

** Casey's old team is an evil version of ''[[
** In "Chuck Versus the CAT Squad", the all-female CAT Squad, Sarah's old team, is obviously based on ''[[
* [[Fake American]]: Yvonne Strahovski is Australian, and briefly [[How's Your British Accent?|uses her real accent]] while Sarah is masquerading as an Aussie.
** Strahovski is actually Polish-Australian; English is her second language. Of course, Sarah spoke Polish in at least one episode.
Line 46:
** Hey, Big Mike sold [[Dharma and Greg|Greg]] a rat!
** [[White Collar|Neal Caffrey]] is just one of Bryce's aliases. We later discover that Peter Burke was Sarah's handler.
** [[Arrested Development (TV series)|Buster Bluth]] and [[Dexter|Vince Masuka]] before him were Buy More assistant managers.
** [[The Drew Carey Show|Oswald]] is a Ring agent.
** [[Rocky IV|Ivan Drago]] is a Volkoff operative.

** [[Supernatural (TV series)|Crowley]] ([[Mark Sheppard]]) is the Director of the Ring.
** [[Mass Effect 2|Miranda Lawson and Kal'Reegar]] are Chuck's protectors.
*** And in one episode, [[Mass Effect 2|EDI]] replaces Miranda and turns out to be a hardass.
*** And [[Mass Effect 2|Aria]] became a spy.
** Hugo Panzer is [[Stone Cold Steve Austin]].
** Casey's former unit featured [[The Expendables|Munroe]]/[[The Dark Knight Saga|Sal Maronia]] as the leader, [[Batista]] as [[The Big Guy]] and [[Avatar (
** [[Smallville|Green Arrow]] needed protecting from his brother in "Chuck Versus the Bearded Bandit". Guess it wasn't a job for Superman...
** Anyone paying attention to NBC's advertising knew that [[Community
*** Keeping with [[
*** Also: [[Freddie Wong]], as [[The Danza|Freddie]], a fellow hacker.
** 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
* [[Shout-Out]]: [[Chuck/Shout Out|So many, we had to give it its own page.]]
* [[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.
