* [[Actor Allusion]]: In Season 1, Episode 11 "He Loves Me, He Loves Me Not, He Loves Me, Oops He's Dead" Shawn and crew end up speed dating and Shawn's first date is played by Teryl Rothery, who played the character of Dr. Janet Fraiser on ''[[Stargate SG-1]]''. In the episode she says that she was raised on a farm and had a pet goat named "Cassy." "Cassy" is the name of the alien girl she adopted on ''Stargate'' as Dr. Fraiser.
** During the episode "65 Million Years Off", Shawn can't remember the name of [[Holes|that movie with Sigourney Weaver where they dig all the holes]], in which Gus played Sam the Onion man. Gus can't remember either.
{{quote|'''Shawn:''' This is just like that movie! You know, that movie with Sigourney Weaver? Where they dig all the holes?
Line 10:
** Shawn tells Gus to "not be the only black lead on a major cable network" -- too late for that.
*** [[Catch Phrase|You know that's right.]]
** [[The Bourne Series (film)|The ''Bourne Series'']] references in "One, Maybe Two Ways Out" get funnier when you realize that Franka Potente, the spy in the episode, played Marie in the ''Bourne'' movies.
** Shawn's forensic pathologist source (played by Kurt Fuller) tells him that a victim was killed by a Winchester 70. Fuller played Zachariah, an angelic enemy of the Winchester brothers on ''[[Supernatural (TV series)|Supernatural]]''.
** In "Yang 3 in 2D," serial killer Mr. Yin is revealed to be {{spoiler|a professor of fine art and history}}. The actor who plays him? {{spoiler|Peter Weller, professor of fine art and history at Syracuse University. He really IS''is'' Buckaroo Banzai!}}
** Kristy Swanson is suspected of being a vampire in "This Episode Sucks." This is particularly [[Irony|ironic]] when you realize [[Buffy the Vampire Slayer (film)|whatone roleof the roles]] that Swanson is famous for.
*** Lucien (Tom Lenk) in the same episode had a recurring role in [[Buffy the Vampire Slayer|The Series]].
** Danny Glover [[Angels in the Outfield|plays a baseball coach]] in "Dead Man's Curve Ball."
Line 22:
** They also like to reference movies Dule Hill appeared in: "Holes" in "65 Million Years Off" and "The Guardian" in "You Can't Handle this Episode". Thank God that ''[[The West Wing]]'' started in 1999 and really wouldn't be their sort of thing anyway, or else they'd be facing some ''very'' interesting paradoxes.
* [[Genius Bonus]]: Some of Shawn and Gus's references can be quite obscure.
** [[S 06 E 08]]S06E08's cult and Gus's infatuation with it leads Shawn to hope that he can get Gus out of there before he robs a bank [[wikipedia:Patty Hearst|with a machine gun while wearing a beret]].
* [[Hey, It's That Guy!]]: The (real) sheriff in "High Noon-ish" is the partner cop from ''[[Life (TV series)|Life]]''.
** Bobby from ''[[Supernatural (TV series)|Supernatural]]'' is in the same episode, {{spoiler|playing the bad guy}}.
** And it's [[Shout-Out|not the]] [[Actor Allusion|first time]] he and Tim Omundson hung out [[Deadwood|in the Wild West]].
Line 29:
*** And it's Ramathorne/Barry Badrinath (from ''Super Troopers'' and ''Beerfest'', respectively) playing his brother!
*** In [[Real Life]], Sendhil Ramamurthy (Mohinder) and Jay Chandrasekhar (Ramathorne/Barry) are cousins; the episode in question was also directed by Chandrasekhar.
** The roller derby girl that dies in "Talk Derby to Me"? [[WWEWorld Wrestling Entertainment|WWE Diva]] Mickie James.
*** And the season 4 episode, "You Can't Handle This Episode" features John Cena playing Juliet's brother Ewan. {{spoiler|His occupation and secrecy may hint at a return visit in the future.}}
*** Former WWE Diva Stacy Keibler had a guest spot in "Thrill Seekers & Hell Raisers."
** In "Thrill Seekers & Hell Raisers", Ruby is also a ''[[Life (TV series)|Life]]'' veteran, and Derek is [[Reba|Van]].
** From the pilot, it's [[Stargate SG-1|General Hammond!]]
** Speaking of ''Stargate'', Zelenka was also in an episode.
Line 68:
* [[Retroactive Recognition]]: As this is filmed in [[Stargate City]], you see quite a few cameo cases of this, especially from USA and [[Syfy]] series.
** [[Flash Gordon (TV series)|Dale Arden]] had her ring stolen before her wedding.
** [[Sanctuary (TV series)|Henry]] was a janitor in a planetarium before becoming a werewolf.
** [[Eureka|Vincent]] went to Shawn and Gus' high school before being a genius cook.
** [[Burn Notice|Anson Fullerton]] was a retired anarchist before burning Michael.
