Line 284:
** Per[[Tenacious D|tinacious 'D']]
** [[Getting Crap Past the Radar|Astro Glider]]
* [[Humongous Entertainment]]. Oh boy, where to start? [[Pajama Sam]]'s superhero references, ''[[Spy Fox]]''{{'}}s [[James Bond]] references, ''[[Backyard Sports]]''{{'}}s '80s references (most pros were kids then)... all more likely to grab parents than kids.
** Some background animations in ''Pajama Sam: No Need To Hide When It's Dark Outside'' in the hallway filled with windows looking out into space. One of the windows, when clicked, shows a cheese floating by and [[2001: A Space Odyssey|a monotone voice says "I'm afraid I can't eat that cheese, Sam."]], as well as the chair in the lab who spoke in lines that sounded like solutions from Clue.
** Tell me [[The Smart Guy|Dmitri Petrovich]] doesn't look like [[Elton John]].
Line 638:
* ''[[Atomic Betty]]'': On Season 2, Episode 17 "Extreme Makeover" (featuring the villain Bombshelle). Betty's mom is trying her old dancing clothes and Noah walks in. She asks him to watch her performance for a while and dances. After she finishes, there's a shot with a dumbfounded Noah at the door, looking at Betty's mom [[The Graduate|raised leg on the foreground]]. Noah, being a little kid, has a different reaction (he almost throws up - of course, Betty's mom choice of [[Outdated Outfit|bright pink gym clothes]] might have something to do with it).
* The sketch show ''[[MAD]]'' loves this trope, having references to many things the target audience probably wouldn't know, such as ''[[CSI]]'' or ''[[The Bourne Series (film)|The Bourne Identity]]'', the references are usually mixed with something the target audience has seen, such as [[iCarly]] and [[Bob the Builder]]
* ''[[Batman: The Brave And The Bold|Batman the Brave And The Bold]]'' has a song from the trio of [[Black Canary]], [[Huntress]], and [[Catwoman (comics)|Catwoman]] that's not so much Parental Bonus as "Get the kids out of the room ''now''. The song starts by listing the sexual issues of the male heroes through very poorly disguised lyrics: [[Green Lantern]]'s "ring" is small but pretty strong; [[Blue Beetle]] is cute but is an inexperienced virgin; [[The Flash]], of course, is "sometimes way too fast"; [[Green Arrow]] is a switch-hitter; [[Aquaman]]'s "little fish" is unimpressive; and [[Plastic Man]] has, obviously, all sorts of interesting possibilities. And then to wind it up, they're inviting Batman to join them for a foursome.
* ''[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic|My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic]]'' is packed with these. Some examples involve [[Benny Hill]] homages, obscure and cult movie shout outs, Viagra-like potions for a rooster who can't "sing" anymore, and of course, the famous ''[[The Big Lebowski]]'' ponies from the pony bowling alley. See trope page for examples.
