Line 1:
{{work}}
* The whole show starts and middles as a Shout Out to ''[[Jonny Quest]]''.
* Hank's outfit is clearly based on that of Fred from ''[[Scooby Doo]]'', a fact that other characters have remarked on, and Dean's clothes and haircut are reminiscent of [[Spider-Man|Peter Parker's]] from his debut. Dean's pajamas are... Spider-Man themed. Hank's are [[Aquaman]], and as a somewhat beefy blond he actually looks a little like the King of the Seas. To drive it further home, the apartment Dean lives in during his summer internship at Impossible Industries is almost exactly the same as Peter's from the [[Spider-Man (film)|movies]].
* ''[[Star Wars]]'' is a particularly popular subject. Usually [[Lampshade Hanging|patently obvious]]. This escalated to the point that, upon seeing the sheer volume of them while recording commentary on every episode of Season 2, Doc Hammer and Jackson Publick dared each other to avoid direct Star Wars references for all of Season 3, with the loser having to revert to their eighth-grade haircut.
Line 29:
* There are several references to 1990s era Nickelodeon shows, from Hank demanding of Dean's disembodied head "Yeah, [[Clarissa Explains It All|Clarissa, explain it all]]" to 24{{spoiler|, mad over 21 finally getting rid of his skull,}} asking 21 if if he's really just going to bury it and "declare this meeting of [[Are You Afraid of the Dark?|the Midnight Society]] over."
