Line 54:
** Guy Rapide also mentions in passing having had a friend named [[The Elder Scrolls|Lucien Lachance]]. Other shout outs include catchphrases from [[Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann]], an adopted character suddenly talking like [[Final Fantasy VI|Kefka]], direct quotes from films and games, visual tricks, namedrops, and sometimes characters that're slightly revised versions of one from some other media (the recent mod applications had a sample profile that was quite literally just a modernized [[Kingdom Hearts|Riku]].) If one had the time and patience, an entire wiki could probably be dedicated entirely to documenting shout outs in Survival of the Fittest.
* There are also tons of these (to other literary and artistic works) in the [[Web Serial Novel|blog novel]] ''[http://fartago.blogspot.com Fartago]''. Just the ones I've caught: ''[[2001: A Space Odyssey]]'' (the entire premise, that a monolith gives a tribe of cavemen self awareness, and they soon discover a bone can be used as a weapon), ''[[Adventures of Huckleberry Finn|The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn]]'' and ''[[Don Quixote]]'' (the plot structure of two members of a society being outside their society and commenting on it), the writings of [[Freud Was Right|Sigmund Freud]] (the fact that the characters are motivated by their realization they will eventually die), ''Waiting for Godot'' (the writing style), ''The Unbearable Lightness of Being'' (Chapter 1: "The Unbearable Lightness of Cat Poop"), [[Superman]] and [[Batman]] (Flying Tago and Furry Night Bird Farta), ''[[The Lord of the Rings]]'' (Chapter 3: The Fellowship of Fartago), "The Treachery of Images" ("Zis Ees Not a Poop"), and those are just the ones I caught ''in the first three chapters''.
* ''[[Decades of Darkness]]'' has [[Shout-Out|shout outs]] to, among other things: a group of popular rock bands, ''[[Star Wars]]'', ''[[Call of Cthulhu (tabletop game)]]'', and so on and so on.
* ''[[Tiberium Wars]]'' has more shout-outs than you can shake a stick at. Shout-outs range from ''[[Snow Crash]]'' to ''[[Mass Effect]]'' to ''[[Metal Gear]]'' to ''[[Generation Kill]]'', with a hefty frequency of references to ''[[Firefly]]'' and ''[[Warhammer 40000]]''.
** By the same author, ''[[Forward]]'' has as many shout-outs, ranging from references to ''[[Mass Effect]]'', ''[[Portal (series)|Portal]]'', ''[[
* ''[[Maddison Atkins]]'' features an episode called "[[Law and Order|Law & Order]]: Maddison Atkins". Adam can be seen playing ''[[Mario Kart 64]]'' in one episode, and Maddison wears a Princess Peach shirt in another. With the [[Elvis Impersonator|possible]] exception of [[Series Mascot|HTMLvis]], all the pigeons' names (chosen by fans) appear to be shout outs: [[History of the USSR|Trotsky]], [[Sailor Moon|Mini Moon]] and Lady Gaga.
* ''[[Stray]]'' is full of these. The story's [[Arc Words]] are an obvious nod to ''[[Planescape: Torment]]'', Snake has a dog named [[Neon Genesis Evangelion|Kaworu]] (Otacon chose the name), and there are more subtle references to ''[[Watchmen (comics)|Watchmen]]'' and Kafka.
* The ''[[Whateley Universe]]'' is really a superhero comic book universe. So most of the buildings at [[Super-Hero School|Whateley Academy]] are named for famous writers and inkers of comic books. Schuster Hall, McFarlane Stadium....
** There are tons of shout-outs in "Tales of the MCO, because the entire story is the protagonists watching an anti-mutant television show and MSTing the heck out of it.
Line 70:
** Speaking of Let's Plays, B00n seems to have at least one [[Nasuverse]] reference per game he plays.
* This picture does a shout out to [[Mazinger Z|three]] [[Getter Robo|separate]] [[Haruhi Suzumiya|anime]] [http://mmtrigger.deviantart.com/art/Hare-Hare-Robo-Z-85335820 at once.]
* The end of the video where [[The Angry Video Game Nerd]] reviews ''[[Super Mario Bros 3]]'' has dialouge and visuals ripped straight out of ''[[The Exorcist]]'', and a line from ''[[The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2]]''
* ''[[Shinji and Warhammer40K|Shinji and Warhammer 40 K]]'' has shout outs to everything. EVERYTHING. ''[[Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann]]'' and ''[[Star Wars]]'' one could perhaps predict. [[Dwarf Fortress|Boatmurdered]]...not so much.
* The ''Transformers Wiki'' often makes Shout Outs to other works, the [[Transformers Armada|Armada]] [[Big Bad|Megatron]] page has at least two Shout Outs to [[Atop the Fourth Wall]].
