* ''[[
* In "Live Alive", Itsuki is playing Guildenstern in ''[[Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead]]''. Poorly. Not to mention the fact that the episode's named [[Live a Live|Live Alive]].
** The entire episode bears uncanny similarities to ''[[Linda Linda Linda]]''. Haruhi plays the same guitar, an [https://web.archive.org/web/20110831124425/http://www.elevation-music.com/itmoiielguwh.html Italia Mondial Woody II].
** So Haruhi [[
** The group right before ENOZ is apparently a [[Detroit Metal City]] cover band, with mascot and all.
* The book Nagato gives Kyon is ''[[Hyperion]]''. It's a book/series about time travel, aliens, bizarre powers and things that may or not be gods/God... Hm...
** More than that: After reading ''Hyperion'', one may gain a whole new level of insight into what Yuki is and what her (and the Data Overmind's) motivations are.
* In "Someday in the Rain", Kyon and Koizumi are playing a real TCG called Dragon All-Stars that features various anime/light novel characters; among the cards shown are [[Slayers|"Lina and Naga" and a Gourry card]].
** [[Goshuushou
* In "Bamboo Leaf Rhapsody", Yuki is reading ''[[Time Enough for Love]]'' by [[Robert A. Heinlein]]. This, too, has implications for the story.
* In ''Dissociation'', Yuki is reading ''Godel, Escher, Bach: an Eternal Golden Braid'' by Douglas Hofstadter. Yuki could start the trope on Suspiciously Apropos Literature.
* Kyon notices that Time Traveller Mikuru has never been inside a fashion store -- rapidly changing clothes on mannequins in the window of a fashion store are part of the [[Time Passes Montage]] made famous by HG Wells' ''[[The Time Machine]]''.
* Another Wells reference is made by Koizumi in the 9th novel, he says that Nagato can't catch a human virus, as she is a real alien, and not a "[[The War of the Worlds (novel)||martian from the past]]."
* Each time Kyon wearily removes the frog costume during the "Endless Eight", he makes reference to a different anime/manga. For example: "Now I know how [[Neon Genesis Evangelion|Unit 00]] felt after being hit by that beam." ([[Wiki Magic|Perhaps the other references can be identified here.]])
** For extra fun, remember who piloted Unit 00. Then look at [[Expy|Yuki]].
Line 24:
** And we have a reference to the [[Gundam]]-series ("Bring out the [[You Wanna Get Sued?|* beep* ]]dams!"), including a censored one ''shooting''.
** It also includes shout outs to ''[[Uchuu Senkan Yamato|Star Blazers]]'', which likewise took place on giant spaceships with giant cannons. The box the game comes in has a brown-bearded [[Expy]] of Captain Okita on the cover. The leader of the Computer club even quotes the [[Catch Phrase]] of ''Star Blazer'''s season 1 episodic villains by saying: "All hail the computer club!!!" The original line said by the villains every time they lost to the protagonists' crew being: "All hail the Gamilon Empire!!!" Oh, and he's got blue skin like the Gamilons, too.
* While fighting the cave cricket, Itsuki [[Calling Your Attacks|shouts]] "[[Full Metal Panic!|Fumoffu!]]" and "[[Full Metal Panic!|Second Raid!]]". Doubles as an [[Actor Allusion]] -- [[Daisuke Ono]] had a minor role in FMP.
* In "Live Alive", Kyon says "Enjoy the festival. In a normal fashion." to [[Those Two Guys]]. This is a reference to Sousuke saying "Enjoy your bath. In a normal fashion." in [[Full Metal Panic!|Fumoffu]]'s onsen episode.
* The name [http://tardis.wikia.com/wiki/John_Smith "John Smith"] in itself is a direct reference to the British series ''[[Doctor Who]]'', which is all about (you guessed it) [[Time Travel]], sliding through alternate worlds and whatnot. Quite fitting for an alias for Kyon when it served as the alias for the Doctor, who likewise travels with a companion and establishes predetermined events, as well.
* In the episode "The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya Part 6", Kyon can be seen wearing a [http://www.creativewatch.co.uk/pimages/hamilton-ventura-watch-h24411732-large.jpg Hamilton American "Ventura"]{{Dead link}} wristwatch, as worn by the [[Men in Black (film)|Men in Black]].
* According to Kyon, Taniguchi and Kunikida are less harmless than a [[Dragon Quest|healer slime]] showing up alone.
* In Endless Eight, Itsuki calls it an "endless summer" (in [[Gratuitous English]]). Kyon (also in [[Gratuitous English]]) calls it a "no future", possibly referencing the [[Doctor Who]] novel No Future.
Line 39:
* In each English book cover of the series, there is a little symbol on the top normally relating to what's going on in the book. In the latest novel, the ''Wavering of Haruhi Suzumiya'', the symbol just so happens to be the [[Groundhog Day Loop]]'s page image.
** Strange considering the previous novel in the series was the one with the [[Groundhog Day Loop]]...
* While explaining the concept of [[Moe]] to Kyon, [[Haruhi Suzumiya|Haruhi]] holds up two manga anthology magazines as examples. One of them has Asa and Kaede of ''[[
** Itsuki Koizumi's psychic attacks in "Mysterique Sign" are named after series of ''[[Full Metal Panic!]]''. "Fumoffu! Second Raid!!"
** In "Remote Island Syndrome Part II" Haruhi imitates the [[Going Through the Motions|sprites]] from the video game ''[[Ace Attorney]]'', as well as the dramatic close-ups and, but of course, the '''"OBJECTION!"'''. Itsuki runs with it and imitates Edgeworth.
*** Also, the episode title is written with one red character, in the style of ''[[Higurashi no Naku Koro ni]]''.
Line 57:
** A fairly unknown reference in the Western fanbase, an early episode has Kyon almost incomprehensively slurring a remark that roughly translates to, 'This has got to be a lie.' The reference is to an internet meme originating from ''Kamen Rider Blade'' where the main protagonist's slurred Japanese is referred to as 'Ondouru-Go' by the Japanese fanbase. In fact, Kyon's quote is copied exactly word for word from one of the more popular 'Ondouru-Go' phrases.
