General

  • Caramelldansen Vid: Hoo boy.
  • Shout-Out:
    • The Cockroach Clusters and Chocolate Frog candies come from the Monty Python's Flying Circus sketch "Crunchy Frog".
    • Luna references a Goon Show sketch when she suggests a Quidditch team suffers from "Loser's Lurgi".
    • Harry Potter received a Shout-Out in an episode of Doctor Who, when the Doctor told Martha Jones (in an episode that aired before the release of Deathly Hallows), "Wait 'til you read book 7. Oh, I cried."
    • Buffy the Vampire Slayer makes several. In season five, the Magic Box has a sign that warns that shoplifters will be transfigured. And in an episode early in season seven, Willow (in magical rehab in England) refers to Giles as being "all Dumbledore" to her.
    • In the opening minutes of the 2007 St. Trinian's movie, Annabelle calls the titular school "Hogwarts for Pikeys" (a British slur meaning a person who is common, tasteless, flashy, in-bred, thieving, and so on).
  • We Didn't Start the Billy Joel Parodies: The fandom has its own dedicated parody.
