* According to [http://rogerebert.suntimes.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/19940624/REVIEWS/406240301/1023 Roger Ebert], Scar's answer to Simba's "You're so weird," from ''[[The Lion King]]'' is a reference to an earlier [[Jeremy Irons]] part in ''Reversal of Fortune'' where he played Claus von Bulow. Even the intonation is exactly the same.
* [[The Boondocks]] has quite a few of these.
** There are many allusions to {{''[[Friday}}]]'', both direct and indirect, which starred John Witherspoon, the voice of The Boondocks' Robert "Granddad" Freeman.
** In the episode "A Date with the Health Inspector", the character Gin Rummy (voiced by Samuel L. Jackson) makes several statements pulled almost word-for-word from [[Pulp Fiction]], including the iconic "English motherfucker, do you speak it?". Rummy also also seems to have a certain inclination towards "tasty beverages".
** In one episode [[Mark Hamill]] plays a dealer who sells Granddad a strain of marijuana called "Skywalker."
