** Quoth a farmer from the Altador Plot: [[Futurama|"WINDMILLS DO NOT WORK THAT WAY!"]] There's even a book given out from the plot titled "The Way Windmills Work" with the following description: ''Windmills do, in fact, work that way.''

** [[Fight Club|"The first rule of Punch Club, is that you do not talk about Punch Club."]]

{{spoiler|"Would you like some punch?"}} }}

** This [http://images.neopets.com/neoboards/avatars/scordrax.gif avatar] references [[Homestar Runner]].

** It is very unlikely that the Pirate Xweetok sporting [[One Piece|an horizontal scar under its left eye]] was a simple coincidence.

** [http://www.neopets.com/ntimes/index.phtml?section=editorial&issue=452 The Editorial of Issue 452] gave us this [[Shout-Out]] to [[The Man Your Man Could Smell Like]]:

"Look again. Your horse is now ''diamonds''!" }}

** Several achievements in the Faerie's Ruin plot are Shout Outs: "Son, I am Disappoint" [[Rickroll|"Never Gonna Shut You Up, Never Gonna Quiet You Down."]], [[Dragon Ball|"OVER 9000!"]], and one has the description "[[Monkey Island|How appropriate]]. [[You Fight Like a Cow|You fight like a kau]]."

** Trying to use the Qasalan Expellibox more than once a day produces the message "What are you doing?! You can't just dump them in there! It's a [http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/series-of-tubes series of tubes!]"

** The description for the Pink Doughnut.

** [[The Other Wiki]] used to have ''a whole page'' of Shout Outs in Neopets.

* [[Was Once a Man|Was Once A Human]]: Edna the Witch and Dr_Death were originally drawn as ''humans''.

** Thankfully averted with the Tiki Tack Man - users started noticing a pattern, and the staff had to go out of their way to allay any fears that he would be next.

** And, as mentioned above, the curious case of the Bruces...

* [[Weaksauce Weakness]]: Faeries are ostensibly the most powerful species in all of Neopia. They are regularly bottled by a scraggly mutant-wolf with ''no'' magical powers, sold away, freed, then caught again a few weeks later.

* [[Loveable Rogue]]: Hanso

* [[Mythology Gag]]: Rife in The Faeries' Ruin arc.

* [[Never Say "Die"]]: Averted.

* [[Nice Job Breaking It, Hero]]: Well done, Brynn and Hanso (plus all the players who participated in the plot). You just helped {{spoiler|Xandra crash Faerieland into Neopia}}.

*** Razul did a [[Kill the Cutie|veto]] of his own.

* [[Shut UP, Hannibal]]: Gorix does this when he finally meets [[Big Bad|Dr. Sloth]]. Subsequently [[Lampshaded]].

* [[Smooch of Victory]]: {{spoiler|Brynn}} gives {{spoiler|Hanso}} one [[Anywhere but Their Lips|on the cheek]] in Chapter 17 of The Faerie's Ruin.

* [[Stranger in a Familiar Land]]: Several plots end bittersweetly, with the objective accomplished but the more alienated or bitter characters unable to settle (back) into 'normal' life. See Sophie, Bruno, and Caylis.
