Homage (literally, an honor or tribute) is the deliberate, but respectful, recreation of one work of fiction within the context of another. Usually this is done for comedic effect, but occasionally it is serious. Sometimes it's both. A homage is an extended sequence, significantly more than a simple Shout-Out, but does not actually constitute a crossover even when some of the original stars recreate their roles. Sometimes — especially when the Homage is blatant, or is part of a comedy series — it's All Just a Dream. But sometimes it's a weird or haunting reflection of the original series that is a native part of the "reality" of the show in which it is found. A Pastiche is a very common type of homage, which involves trying to copy the style of a work or artist. If a series is doing anything deliberately evocative of its own past, then it is an Internal Homage. See also Actor Allusion, Genre Throwback, Homage Shot, Postmodernism, Shout-Out, Trapped in TV Land, Whole-Plot Reference, Homage Derailment. See also Expy, where the homage is a specific character. |

The opening cinematic for the Company of Heroes campaign looks a lot like the Omaha Beach landing in Saving Private Ryan... which it then subverts by having the boat full of men first seen by the player get mowed down, including the sergeant-type character who's the only one to have spoken so far in the game. Every WWII game produced after Saving Private Ryan does this. Call of Duty, Commandos, Medal of Honor, in fact the Frontline/Allied Assault games are essentially the game of the film, replete with a Tom Hanks soundalike commanding officer. Not surprising when the man behind the games is Steven Spielberg. | |

Over the Garden Wall: The first scene in the woods, showing a tall ominous tree in the dark, nearly mirrors a similar scene with a tree in a Hedgehog in the Fog. The first episode sees Wirt and Greg in the middle of a journey, lost in a dark forest where they encounter a vicious animal who blocks their path. This is just how the The Divine Comedy starts. The Beast's "Chop the Wood to Light the Fire" song is based on a song from act 1 scene 3 of the Hansel and Gretel opera. The song about the Beast takes on the style of the Headless Horseman song from Disney's adaptation of The Legend of Sleepy Hollow and even imitates a few shots of the sequence. In the same episode, the Highway Man's dance is a reference to the rotoscoped Cab Calloway segments used in Betty Boop shorts (it was not rotoscoped, though, it's just... weird). Auntie Whispers's design looks similar to that of Yubaba from Spirited Away, and she too keeps a young girl in bondage to maintain her dwelling. And, like Yubaba, she's also one of two sister witches, one good and one evil. Being the "good" one, Auntie ultimately ends up more like Zeniba. Greg's Disney Acid Sequence is animated like a cross between The Wizard of Oz, Little Nemo, "Wynken, Blynken and Nod" from Disney's Silly Symphonies, Harvey Toons, and Minnie the Moocher. Many scenes from the sequence itself are direct lifts from Alice's Wonderland, the first of Disney's Alice Comedies. The scene where The Queen of the Clouds appears is similar to Dante's description of Mary as the Queen of Heaven in the Paradiso and illustrations of that scene by Gustave Doré. The fact that Wirt and Greg meet the Beast, a Satanic Archetype, first on a frozen lake and then in the middle of a blizzard calls to mind the ending of the Inferno, where the Devil is frozen in a lake of blood and tears in Hell's Ninth Circle. |

K has a serious one, to Code Geass — major spoilers for both. The King is killed by someone who was something of an enemy and love to them, who doesn't want to have to do it. The pose is the same. His last words are heard by a young girl with some degree of psychic ability, who succeeds him. The Sword of Damocles is no longer a threat. The King's Fiery Redhead subordinate didn't realize what was going on until it was too late. The King's closest supporter and companion has accepted this fate and says the final words of the series thanking the King. Top with brilliant, Tear Jerker music. | |

The film Final Analysis has so many references to Vertigo that it almost seems to be a vague remake. Most notable is the climactic lighthouse scene that once again results in the death of the duplicitous female lead. Basic Instinct is laden with references too—Catherine Tramell's outfits and French twist hairstyle are very reminiscent of Kim Novak's. |

Grindhouse and both of its segments, Planet Terror and Death Proof, pay homage to classic 70s B-movie exploitation films, noting that they contained huge amounts of violence and sex and were played in certain American cinemas referred to as grindhouses. Planet Terror pays homage to classic zombie movies (where in this case they call them "sickos"). Death Proof pays homages to slasher movies. |

Season 1 episode "The Deserter" seems to be a homage to Apocalypse Now, what with the ex-elite soldier leading a guerilla resistance in the jungle and being spoken of in nigh-worshipful tones by his follower. It would probably be a little too much to expect the line "I love the smell of firebending in the morning," but other than that the resemblance is, if not uncanny, at least enough to make one think. | |

CSI: NY: Season 3's finale, "Snow Day" is a straight-up nod to Die Hard, complete with Mac writing "Find the Bullet" on a dead bad guy's forehead before sending him down the elevator to Sheldon in the morgue. "Point of View" has several nods to Rear Window, including an injured Mac spying on his neighbors across the way with his foot propped up, seeing suspicious activity (which leads to the capture of a murderer), and a potential love interest assisting with his snooping. |

A group of geeky, ostracized middle school kids, joined by some teenagers (including one kid's protective big brother), discovers a secret beneath the surface of their seemingly quiet hometown, while (most) adults remain blissfully ignorant of what's going on... The premise of the series was inspired by The Goonies, and the main protagonist kid in both works is even named Michael. In fact, the actor who played the protagonist in The Goonies has a major supporting role in Season 2. | |

Popular freeware game Hero's Realm is a distinct homage that harks back to the old school Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest games and combines what they have to offer in one package. It flows together as smoothly as what an optimistic gamer would expect. | |

The Simpsons also has several, from time to time, albeit mostly during the couch gags and/or the non-continuity "Treehouse of Horror" episodes. During the DVD Commentary for "Marge vs. the Monorail", the song Homer sings to the tune of The Flintstones is described as an "homage", to which the reply by writer Mike Reiss is "Yes, homage: French for theft." Near the end of "Homer the Vigilante, a captured cat burglar tells the townspeople that he buried a large amount of money under a giant T. Cue the It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World homage — complete with appropriate music. And Phil Silvers in his car. |

Dark Souls was heavily influenced by Berserk, which director Hidetaka Miyazaki is an admitted big fan of. The Greatsword looks very similar to Guts' Dragonslayer, Knight Artorias looks and fights like Guts wearing the Berserker armor, there's a blacksmith named Rickert, several enemies and bosses have armor and weapon designs lifted straight out of the manga, and the overall theme and tone of the game is similar to that of Berserk: being a dark fantasy with themes revolving around struggling against fate, no matter how inevitable it seems. Some code examination even reveals that one of the bosses, Ornstein, is nicknamed "Griffith" in the game's files (though the two characters have very little in common overall). | |

iCarly: "iBelieve in Bigfoot" is a direct homage to Scooby-Doo (further lampshaded by Freddie) sans the dog. There's 2 males and 2 females; they are investigating a certain creature; they have a vehicle; and also turns up that the said creature is actually a guy they know, in a costume. Dan Schneider stated himself that Sabrina's thrashing of Carly's project in "iBeat the Heat" is a reference to Godzilla. |

Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann is an explicit Getter Robo homage, but is full to bursting with others. There's a reason why people have said that the show parallels trends in the mecha genre: The Action Prologue is a homage to Captain Harlock (especially the clanking noise the captain makes when moving). Several parts of the aquatic fight against Adiane where a homage to the fight against the aquatic angel from the eighth episode of Neon Genesis Evangelion, most noticeably defeating the aquatic Gunmen by firing at it with battleship cannons at point-blank range and the cross-shape explosion it makes. There's also the arms crossed pose that the Chouginga Gurren Lagann has when it appears, the look of the Lazengann, the 8th parallel work with Gunmen that look like Getter Robo, Mazinger Z, and other classic Humongous Mecha, having the first city of a rebuilding humanity around a giant robot ship, Simon holding Nia while covering her in his cloak, the famous "becoming your mech" visual, the Gurren Lagann's helmet. And then there was Squidward |

The series Duck Dodgers does this regularly. One example involves a Star Wars Imperial Star Destroyer lookalike Martian ship, features a version of the Death Star trench run, and even has Marvin complaining about people getting themselves killed trying to recreate the scene. Later, just to make sure that no-one missed the reference, the deceased Duck Dodger and Space Cadet appear at the end as glowing blue ghosts wearing Jedi robes. Another notable episode features an uncannily spot-on parody of Samurai Jack. Another one is in the "Fudd" episode it ends with a huge The Wizard of Oz homage. The icing on the cake is that Duck Dodgers breaks the fourth wall and informs the audience "This is not copyright infringement, it's a tribute" when they dress up as the head Fudd's guards (who even do the Winkie chant from the 1939 movie). |

The fight scene between Nemesis and Alice near the end of Resident Evil: Apocalypse plays out almost exactly like the fight between Kirk and the Gorn in the Star Trek episode "The Arena". Both are fights that are forced on participants that don't want to fight each other. Both contain one combatant who's human, and another who's not human. Both contain a combatant who's fast and agile against one's that's large and strong. Both are a person fighting someone in a rubber suit. The part where Nemesis breaks off a pipe is almost an exact homage to when the Gorn breaks off a limb of a tree. It also ends nearly exactly the same, with the large, muscular one impaled through the chest (with a pipe rather than the diamonds in Star Trek), but refusing to finish him despite urgings from whoever forced the fight. The homage ends when rather than complimenting the human on the virtues of mercy, the fight's forcer instead chides the human for being weak. | |

Tons in Community. Example from just one episode, Modern Warfare: The "ONE HOUR LATER" scene where Jeff wakes up echoes the same scene in 28 Days Later. It also has quite a similar feel to the ending of the first Resident Evil film. The line "Stu-dy grooo-up! Come out and play-y-y!", a paraphrase of Luther's taunt in The Warriors. And it's used by a group of retro disco students who are very reminiscent of some of the film's weirder gangs. Jeff's wardrobe, his anticipation of Britta trying to shoot him ("No paintballs, Hans?"), and his final retaliatory gesture at the Dean are all taken directly from Die Hard. Chang's paint bomb plays out like the end of Predator. Chang's entrance to the study room is straight out of a John Woo movie... minus the doves. Word of God says they didn't have the budget for them. Abed's entrance was stolen from a certain leather-clad action girl. Abed's also stole his goggles from Riddick. The music cues come from the island. "Come with me if you don't want to get paint on your clothes." Shirley spouting bible verses while kicking ass has a variety of influences including The Boondock Saints. Troy's football pads referencing all the way back to Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior. The Brita/Chang scene results in two paintballs colliding, a straight from a scene in the 2009 film Wanted. For other basic examples on the series, see "Abed's Uncontrollable Christmas" (an extended stop-motion homage to Rankin-Bass Christmas specials) and "Basic Lupine Urology" (a long take-off on Law & Order). |

Dragon Ball: Dragon Ball is a homage to the classic Journey to the West, particularly the first arc, with Bulma in a gender-flipped Xuanzang role, Son Goku is Sun Wukong (in turn a homage to Hanuman from Ramayana), Oolong is Zhu Bajie, and Yamcha is Sha Wujing. Dragon Ball Z: The first few parts of the story appear to be a homage to Super Hero fiction (including Golden Bat, Prince of Gamma, and Superman) and other Sci-Fi themes. Cell's hunt of Androids 17 and 18 is Z's homage to Terminator 2: Judgment Day, especially when Android 16 steps up to stop him, as their dynamic is similar to that of T-800 and T-1000. |

Scrubs addressed the constant comparisons between Dr. Gregory House of House and Dr. Cox by actually having an episode where Dr. Cox hurt his leg and had to walk with a cane while he was faced with three bizarre mysteries in the hospital. And one of those mysteries was even the same as the clinic case in the very first House episode! Also, the 100th episode "My Way Home" was riddled with references to The Wizard of Oz. There was also an episode that homaged the standard sitcom format, titled "My Life in Four Cameras". | |

Basic Instinct is one to Vertigo. Both are about a Defective Detective who becomes obsessed with a beautiful mysterious blonde woman in San Francisco. Catherine's white coat and white dress with black gloves and her French twist hairstyle are very explicit references to Madeline's appearance. | |

Alien/Species Crossover: Return to LV-426: Pike and other AWs are based heavily on the film Soldier, being stoic, disciplined, not speaking unless spoken to and keeping their replies terse, having zero understanding of anything outside military life, and having only one response to anything that upsets them: violence. When preparing to fight the Xenomorphs, Pike almost quotes Todd, stating "We're going to kill them all, sir." When reaching the Senders' homeworld, the only thing they find is an organism left behind by the Senders to communicate with anyone who dropped by and protect the Senders' secrets. This creature is acknowledge to basically be the same as that from The Thing (1982). |

Princess Tutu is filled to the brim with homages to famous ballets and operas. All the Japanese covers are based on a ballet, several episodes mimic plots of ballets or plays ("Giselle" and "Midsummer Night's Dream" being the most blatant), a large number of the dances performed in the series are based on choreography from productions of actual shows...the list goes on. | |

Both versions of Pound Puppies are homages to The Great Escape and Hogan's Heroes, with Cooler being a direct reference to The Great Escape's Cooler King, and both groups of dogs escaping the pound in similar fashions to the prisoners. (Paul Germain and Joe Ansolabehere produced the first season of the 2010 series, who also created another homage.) | |

Supernatural: The Apocalypse storyline includes a demon named Crowley. And another one called Alistair. The aptly named episode "Monster Movie" was a homage to classic monster movies. It was filmed entirely in black and white and featured a shapeshifting villain who took the forms of a Mummy, a Wolfman, and Dracula. |

Power Rangers: "Countdown to Destruction", the season finale of Power Rangers in Space, contains a poignant homage to the "I Am Spartacus" scene of Spartacus, which may have earned the episode its fan-nickname of "Crisis of Infinite Rangers". The very next episode, that being the premiere of Power Rangers Lost Galaxy, pays homage to a scene from 2001: A Space Odyssey, complete with Blue Danube playing. The Time Force premiere demonstrates the new suits' space-time abilities by having the Rangers Matrix-ically duck under bullets. Of course, this show's been around long enough that by now it can make cultural references to itself: SPD homages Time Force with occasional use of Bullet Time and sending 'destroyed' monsters to containment. Even one Ranger's battle cry was a homage to Time Force, matching the title of the TF premiere. Also, one brand of Mecha-Mooks carries swords identical to those of the Time Force Rangers. Theories abound about how the organization in Power Rangers SPD evolves into the one in Time Force over the years. Mystic Force and Overdrive each contain a Sealed Evil in a Can who says something akin to season one's famed "After ten thousand years, I'm free!" upon emerging. The evil in Mystic Force isn't connected (probably), but Overdrive's is. Or they could be both referencing the opening credits of the original Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers, in which original sealed evil Rita Repulsa says the line. Speaking of Rita, Mystic Force has the Mystic Mother, a sort of deity of Magic. In passing, she is said to have "been known as Rita in the dark days," implying that said character is the purified Rita. What's more, all footage of the character was dubbed-over sentai footage. This is possibly because the actress who portrayed that character, who also played the sentai equivalent of Mighty Morphin's Rita, had recently passed away. |

The Discworld series has a few, usually bordering on the parodic and featuring Lampshade Hangings: Wyrd Sisters is a homage to Macbeth and Hamlet. The play featured in Lords and Ladies is a homage to A Midsummer Night's Dream. Similarly, Maskerade is an extended homage to The Phantom of the Opera. Guards! Guards! has a brief scene where Sam Vimes channels Dirty Harry, only with a dragon instead of a Hand Cannon. The Truth is this to All the President's Men. |

In an episode of Hayate the Combat Butler, Hayate gets stabbed by three blades. In two different points, the blades change. Each time, they appear to be swords wielded by the Humongous Mecha in the Super Robot Wars series. Really, Hayate, being a series filled to the brim with homages, does this all the time. Most blatantly whenever the homage has something to do with either of the anime's main sponsors (Konami and Geneon). | |

World of Warcraft is full of homages, the most notable being pretty much the entire Un'Goro Crater zone, featuring: Linken, main NPC of a long chain of quests inspired by The Legend of Zelda themes. Larion and Muigin, using hammers to deal with a pest of plants, a clear Homage to Super Mario Bros.. Apes that often drop barrels for no real reason other than a homage to Donkey Kong's origin. The entire zone is full of references to "Lost World"-type movies, including the Warcraft equivalents of Tyranosaurs, Pterodons and Dimetrodons. The zone is also full of references to Land of the Lost (1974), including NPCs with names similar to those on the show (the major travel hub run by Williden Marshal), the aforementioned dinosaurs, and red, green, yellow and blue crystals littering the landscape. The Valkyr Twins boss fight in the Trial of the Crusader raid is heavily inspired by Ikaruga. It features the same color change light/dark mechanic where you have to absorb orbs of your color, and swap colors on demand to avoid special attacks. The Titans, Benevolent Precursors of the setting, are heavily inspired by Marvel Comics' Celestials, being highly advanced, gigantic space aliens that seeded life on various planets in The 'Verse. Later expansions reveal their ulterior reasons for doing so was creating defenders strong enough to protect the world-souls from which more titans are born - a detail taken from the Earth X version of the Celestials. |

This is lampshaded several times, when Johnny remarks that "he's seen this somewhere before". A later episode homages Tom and Jerry. Don't forget the two Tinymon episodes. They even made the antagonist's name sound like Ash Ketchum! |

Crusade (the short-lived sequel to Babylon 5): In the episode "Visitors From Down The Street", the Excalibur discovers a world of English-speaking aliens with a UFO/conspiracy culture/mythology similar to that of late 20th-century Earth — only humans are cast in the role of the saucerfolk! But it's the appearance of alien versions of Mulder and Scully (and Cancer Man) — and the conspiracies around them — that turns the episode into a clever homage to and satire of The X-Files. The whole series is something of a homage to Blake's 7, which J Michael Straczynski is a known fan of. The design of the Excalibur is remarkably similar to that of Liberator in the earlier series, Max Eilerson is a blatant Expy of Kerr Avon, right down to being cast with an actor who has some facial similarities to Paul Darrow, and Dureena is a Composite Character of Cally (Broken Bird alien woman whose species were victims of a catastrophic biological warfare attack) and Vila (proud professional thief with a Master of Unlocking role in the team). |

SAPR: Chapter 180, "It's Always Darkest Right Before a Hero Enters," has two notable ones. The first is to monster movies like Kong: Skull Island when when the Atlesian military throws everything they have against the Wyvern and they fail to so much as scratch it. The second is to Battle of the Pelennor Fields in The Return of the King when the Wyvern turns its attention the battle line of Mistral. The homage is so deliberate and overt that not only are the characters going through similar trials, but the book is actually quoted directly when Pyrrha is given courage by Ruby's example to stand with her against the dragon. |

Dressed to Kill is a Hotter and Sexier homage to Psycho, with an added twist. There's the Hitchcock blonde Dead Star Walking, who commits a "crime" (although Kate's isn't illegal, she's cheating on her husband) and then gets brutally murdered by a mysterious woman for her sexuality who actually turns out to "really" be a man with a female split personality - Bobbi is the psychiatrist's alter ego, though, not the Norman Bates character, killing off woman he is attracted to. Marion's death scene also gets entirely re-enacted, although in an elevator and not a shower. | |

The writers are confirmed to have also taken inspiration from videogames such as the Silent Hill series and The Last of Us. The Upside Down's foggy and creepy design shares a lot of similarities to Silent Hill's Otherworld, while the spores in the air and fungus growing around the Upside Down's entrances is reminiscent of the Cordyceps fungus in The Last of Us. One of the biggest similarities would be how, just like Joel, Chief Hopper is a divorced, gruff man still occasionally haunted by the death of his daughter. Named Sara. Also, both Joel and Hopper have scenes where they fight their way through a hospital to reach an elevator, the pursuers close on their heels. | |

Stargate: Stargate SG-1 has the episode "200" which little more than a series of homages to Star Trek, The Wizard of Oz, and Magnum, P.I. among others along with references to more. One of the producers, Brad Wright's portrayal of Spoof!Scotty was so spot on, his own parents didn't realize it was him. The Stargate Atlantis episode "Vegas" is a homage to CSI. We also gets a chestbuster scene (with an iratus bug) in episode "Doppelganger", with the characters mentioning the movie Alien by name. |

American Dad!: "Independent Movie" is one to American independent cinema, and doubles as an Affectionate Parody of it. It takes the usual Road Trip Plot movie premise that is so popular in the genre and makes a lot of fun of it by having Steve overreact to everything, but it goes out of it's way to be played as much as one as it can, even using a different art direction than the rest of the series, such as a sepia-tone overlaying the episode and camera angles that are common to them. | |

The music and visuals of Blood Machines were deliberately made as a throwback to Science Fiction and progressive rock from The '80s. The technology has an aged Zeerust quality one would find in Dune (1984) and the Alien franchise, lasers look like a lighting effect, all of the music is synth-based and the entire film has a grainy film quality that makes it look like it's being watched on a VHS tape. | |

One episode of NUMB3RS is a homage to Scooby-Doo. An abandoned Air Force base is thought by local Conspiracy Theorists to be hosting UFOs or the ghosts of World War II veterans, and when they catch video of balls of energy raining down from the sky and killing a person the FBI gets involved. It starts to look like an Area 51-type Government Conspiracy (the strange "Department 44" agent who tags along doesn't help in that regard—though he's surprisingly helpful with the investigation) until it's discovered that the energy was from a Lightning Gun a tech company was working on for the government (the UFO lights people saw were actually from the drone carrying it). The ray was only meant to work like an EMP, and the project's engineers were conducting secret tests to try to make it nonlethal. Lampshaded by Colby when he says, "Why do I feel like I'm in a Scooby-Doo cartoon?" while they search the base for clues. After the mystery's solved, Charlie muses that the company could have wasted billions more dollars stringing the government along in their refusal to admit the project was a failure. Floyd replies, "Yes, and they probably would've gotten away with it, too, if it weren't for you meddling kids," referring to Charlie, Amita, and the CalSci plasma physics engineer Charlie asked for help on the case. |

Fallout 3: The sidequest "Those!", which involves exterminating a nest of giant fire-breathing ants, is directly based on the 1954 B-movie Them!, which was also the basis for It Came from the Desert (1989). Fallout: New Vegas also has an ant extermination mission, although these ants don't spit fire. Also in 3, Tranquility Lane is likely inspired by Harlan Ellison's I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream, with a Mad Scientist in place of the AI, and the villain is the one suffering the And I Must Scream fate at the end. |

Digimon Data Squad: Somewhere between homage, Internal Homage and Mythology Gag is a scene in the second episode where Masaru attempts to hide Agumon by walking him around underneath a box — much like Matsuda Takato from Digimon Tamers before him. Made even funnier in the dub, as Takato and Savers' Agumon are both voiced by Brian Beacock. Citramon, originally BomberNanimon, became an homage to Don Patch of Bobobo-Bobo-Bobo, complete with matching voice actor! The dub writer, Jeff Nimoy, was told that the giant walking bomb had to be censored or the episode was cut; they made the best of a bad situation. |

In Avatar: The Last Airbender: Season 1 episode "The Deserter" seems to be a homage to Apocalypse Now, what with the ex-elite soldier leading a guerilla resistance in the jungle and being spoken of in nigh-worshipful tones by his follower. It would probably be a little too much to expect the line "I love the smell of firebending in the morning," but other than that the resemblance is, if not uncanny, at least enough to make one think. In "The Great Divide", the Zhang leader's story is expressed in an animation style strikingly similar to Dead Leaves. A later episode was probably a homage to The Rashomon Gate. The introduction of the first Avatar, Wan, in the episode "Beginnings Pt. 1" of the Sequel Series, The Legend of Korra is a homage to the "One Jump Ahead" musical number from Aladdin. |

Ménage à 3 features a brief homage when overconfident psychology student Kiley is attempting to investigate the nature of DiDi's emotional problem by the (yes, very questionable) method of making love to her. She needs to become very romantic, and her imagination promptly draws on Don Juan DeMarco — a movie about a psychiatrist who becomes emotionally involved when treating someone with romantically-based problems. Her imagination generates some appropriate (and cute) imagery, too. | |

CatDog: "It's A Wonderful Half-Life" is mostly a homage to Ink Blot Cartoon Style 'toons of the 1930s, in the form of a shared dream had by Cat and Dog after an argument. "Silents, Please" pays homage to silent movie comedies, handwaved by an outbreak of laryngitis and temporary color blindness. |

Twin Peaks is full of nods to the Film Noir genre in terms of its style and storylines. A particular example is to the 1944 film Laura, in which a detective becomes infatuated with an alleged murder victim through the prominent portrait in her apartment, and whose presence in the story is reinforced by a particular musical theme. Agent Cooper similarly contemplates photographs of Laura Palmer throughout his investigation, a still shot of her prom photo makes up the entire closing credits for each episode, and much of the music on the show is based around "Laura Palmer's Theme". | |

It Follows: The film's Stepford Suburbia aesthetic and synth-heavy soundtrack feel like an homage to Halloween (1978). The scene in which 'It' comes after Jay as she looks out of the window of the classroom at her school is very similar to the scene in which Laurie looks out of the classroom window and sees Michael Myers staring at her. There's also the use of old movies on the television, which was a memorable feature of Halloween. It also homages the invincible killer like Michael Myers who hates sex, although It is literally supernatural and passed along via sex. | |

The Murdoch Mysteries episode "Anything You Can Do..." pays tribute to the Due South episode "Hunting Season". In addition to being Mounties, Sargeant Jasper Linney's personality and physical build are quite similar to Constable Benton Fraser's. Linney discovers that Detective William Murdoch—with whom he shares many traits in common—is his half-brother. This is very much like Fraser's situation when he learns that Constable Maggie Mackenzie — who is essentially a female version of himself — is actually his half-sister. Both pairs of half-siblings share a scene with their respective biological father. | |

The Indiana Jones movies themselves are one big homage to the classic adventure films of the '30s and '40s. The now-iconic "rolling boulder" sequence at the beginning of Raiders of the Lost Ark was, according to George Lucas, a homage to a similar scene in the Carl Barks comic book The Seven Cities of Cibola. The nuclear testing scene in Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull is a homage to the first draft of the Back to the Future script, in which Marty McFly manages to power the time machine, not with a bolt of lightning but with the radiation from an atomic blast. The entire fake town, complete with mannequins and a television playing the Howdy Doody Show, is ripped straight from the BttF script. Oh, and the time machine? Was originally, not a car, but a refrigerator. |

The first novel of the Hyperion Cantos has a lot of these on top of the mixed Whole-Plot Reference to Keats' Hyperion and Chaucer's The Canterbury Tales (or maybe Boccaccio's Decameron). Each story the pilgrims tell is a homage to one or more styles of literature. The Priest's Tale is an epistolary novel. The Soldier's Tale is high action military science fiction, a la Starship Troopers. The Poet's Tale is a mash up of fairy tales, darker elements intact. The Scholar's Tale is Old Testament Biblical. The Detective's Tale is a Film Noir (minus the film) with elements of cyberpunk. The Consul's Tale is a Shakespearean tragedy, mixing Romeo and Juliet with Hamlet. | |

The season four finale of Monk, "Mr. Monk Gets Jury Duty", was a homage to 12 Angry Men, with a b-plot and the ending making it avert Whole-Plot Reference. Another episode, "Mr. Monk and the Three Julies", had a character who stuffed his dead mother's body and carried her from room to room. The opening murder in "Mr. Monk Buys a House" looks suspiciously like the murder Tommy Udo committed in Kiss of Death. The plot of "Mr. Monk and the Big Reward" borrowed so liberally from It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World that it was actually disappointing they didn't convene under a giant "W" to find the hidden diamond. |

ReBoot: In the first episode, Bob and Phong play a tennis-esque game using a floating disc and energy-paddles on their hands and feet. Then the camera angle becomes a view from above, and it's instantly obvious that the game is Pong. Another episode, "Number 7", was a homage to The Prisoner, complete with farcical trial scene, seesaw-camera-chair, and use of the phrases "Who is Number One?" and "Be seeing you". The third season also had an episode (written, appropriately enough, by D.C. Fontana) that was a homage not only to classic Star Trek (including a log entry, a tricorder, and original series sound effects) but also superhero teams such as the Legion of Super-Heroes; the death of their leader (who acted and spoke suspiciously like William Shatner overemoting) was due to having something dropped on him... and giving a version of Spock's final lines from The Wrath of Khan.

Pike and other AWs are based heavily on the film Soldier, being stoic, disciplined, not speaking unless spoken to and keeping their replies terse, having zero understanding of anything outside military life, and having only one response to anything that upsets them: violence.

The Ben 10 franchise contains an alien called Way Big◊ who is a hundred feet tall, has a blank face with a crest on the top of his head, and can fire beams of cosmic energy by crossing his arm in front of him. Sound familiar? Ben 10: Ultimate Alien takes the homage even further◊. even the name of the species- To'kustar is a reference. Things get truly weird in Ben 10: Omniverse, with a mutated female To'kustar◊ designed as a homage to, of all things, Scanty. The same franchise contains Professor Paradox, a time-traveling British scientist who hates guns, likes sweets, and has forgotten his real name. |

It has a similar "paper cutout characters roaming diorama-like worlds" aesthetic, it has the same turn-based combat with Action Commands, and its plot is similar to The Thousand-Year Door with the search for Plot Coupons that will unveil a mythical treasure tied to some dark secrets from the past. | |

Several moves in the Devil May Cry series are callbacks to past Capcom games, mostly from the Street Fighter franchise. For example, Dante's uppercut moves such as the Rising Dragon resemble the Shoryuken with bits of the Shinryuken added in, Divine Dragon resembles the Shinryuken even more, Nero's Devil Buster against the Alto Angelos in Devil May Cry 4 is identical to Zangief's Ultra Final Atomic Buster, Killer Bee/Starfall is Akuma's Tenma Kujinkyaku, Volcano appears to be Akuma's Kongo Koretsu Zan from Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike, and Tornado is the Shinkuu Tatsumaki Senpuu Kyaku. There are also callbacks outside of Street Fighter though, such as Hyper Fist being a reference to the Hokuto Hyakuretsu Ken from Fist of the North Star. | |

One Piece: Van Auger is way too similar to Adolphus from The Adventures of Baron Munchausen. Whitebeards's mustache, which is near-identical to the one sported by◊ the ∀ Gundam. The fact that they're both the strongest in their respective categories is probably another one. Impel Down seems to be built like Hell in The Divine Comedy. Bartolomeo has examples In-Universe: His Bari-Bari no Pistol move is intentionally one to Luffy's signature Gomu-Gomu no Pistol. His ship is also clearly one to the Going Merry, on top of being more Hero Worship for Luffy. The Going Luffy-Sempai anyone? Two examples for Germa 66: To SHOCKER. Compare the '76 villain's logo◊ and the imposing board meeting of evil.◊ To The Man in the Iron Mask: What happens to little Sanji when his father realizes he'll never be as good as his siblings. |

Almost Famous contains two examples. The first is a scene where the band members think their airplane is going to crash — it's a played-for-laughs homage to Lynyrd Skynyrd.

On the topic of Godzilla, the episode "Trust No One" in Godzilla: The Series is a full-on homage to The Thing (1982): something that can mimic a living being perfectly, the paranoia of who to trust, and a game of Spot the Impostor.

Toy Story 2: When the toys are at a toy store and driving around in a toy car, Rex at some point falls off and starts running after them to catch up. Mr. Potato Head spots Rex in the side mirror with the text "Warning: Objects in mirror are closer than they appear" written. This is clearly a parody of a scene in Jurassic Park where the island visitors tries to escape a T-Rex in the same manner, mirror warning and all. | |

Futurama features a homage to one thing or another in almost every other episode. In "Brannigan, Begin Again", Zapp and Kif are thrown out of the military and have to live like hobos on the streets. Zapp dresses up in cowboy leather clothing and hustles on a street corner, to the tune of "Everybody's Talkin' At Me". The entire montage is a straight Homage to Midnight Cowboy. Bender's B-Plot in "Mars University" is based directly on National Lampoon's Animal House, though it mixes in various parodies of the 80s era college frat film genre as a whole. "Why Must I Be a Crustacean in Love?", where Fry Plays Cyrano for Dr. Zoidberg. Of course here Fry is not so fortunate when the lady decides that she wants him instead — she's a hideous Starfish Alien — so the plot shifts gears and we're suddenly watching "Amok Time". "A Flight to Remember" is a retelling of the story of Titanic (1997)... IN SPACE! "Fry and the Slurm Factory" is a parody of Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory. |

Doomsday is a scifi/action/thiller flick almost made of homages. The lead villain, Sol, has the same haircut as Wez from Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior, and leads a road gang to match. The director describes the hero's Eyepatch of Power as a Snake Plissken homage. The cannibal gang includes a random Baseball Fury. They also use a bus which pursues the heroes in a neat recreation of the attack of the Turnbull ACs from the same film. | |

Each poem in "Rejection Slips" is a tribute to a different editor that Dr Asimov had grown to know very well (including how they rejected manuscripts!): "Learned", the first letter, is written in a fancy structure, a tribute to John W. Campbell's style. "Gruff", the second letter, is written in a blunter style of rhyme, a tribute to Horace Gold's style. "Kindly", the third letter, is written with effusive compliments until the postscript. This was a tribute to Anthony Boucher's style. |

The sidequest "Those!", which involves exterminating a nest of giant fire-breathing ants, is directly based on the 1954 B-movie Them!, which was also the basis for It Came from the Desert (1989). Fallout: New Vegas also has an ant extermination mission, although these ants don't spit fire. | |

The Praetorian Guard regiment is a homage to the soldiers of the British Empire who fought at the battles of Isandlwana and Rorke's Drift in 1879, as depicted in the classic war film Zulu. A regiment of criminals from a notorious hive planet, renowned for their red uniforms, white pith helmets, conflicts with Orks and iron discipline in the face of overwhelming odds. It was created for the "Massacre At Big Toof River" Mega Display which appeared at UK Gamesday '97 in 1997. | |

Star Trek Into Darkness has been described as an inverted version of Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan. The inversion works on multiple levels. The shuttle chase through the Klingon planet is very reminiscent of the Millennium Falcon's run through the Death Star in Return of the Jedi. |

A Dance with Rogues, being a fanmade module for Neverwinter Nights, was, according to Word of God, inspired by many fantasy series, particularly A Song of Ice and Fire and The Icewind Dale Trilogy. As such, it contains many similarities and references to some of those series, especially in terms of characters and names: The Princess' story seems to be a mix between those of the sisters of House Stark and Daenerys Targaryen (a Broken Bird princess, the last survivor of her family, joins a thieves/assassin guild, etc). Her character can also be developed with characteristics typical for those three women. An optional, downloadable pre-made Player Character Princess is also named Lyanna Stormborn, further confirming this. Vico is very similar in his bloodlust and Jerkass behavior to Sandor Clegane, but also carries some of the characteristics of his much crueler and vicious brother Gregor. Bran and Rizzen Do'Vrinn are a barbarian, who has been imprisoned for years, and a drow outcast respectively, who form a friendship, likely a reference to Wulfgar and Drizzt Do'Urden. Bran's enchanted greatsword is called Frost, possibly a reference to Eddard Stark's sword of rare steel, called Ice. Bran and Pia also share their names and some minor traits with characters from A Song of Ice and Fire. The Dhorn Empire seems to be named after the Kingdom of Dorne. Similarly to the books of A Song of Ice and Fire there are many scenes of gratuitous nudity, (optional) sex, rape and references to rape, slavery, and often cases of Anyone Can Die. |

Stranger Things: Many that are not explicit shout-outs: The show's title typography was heavily inspired by the way Stephen King's name used to be presented on his book covers. An inversion of the E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial flying-bike shot, where rather than make the bikes fly, Eleven just launches a van over them instead. Many fans of The X-Files were delighted to find similarities between scenes: when Hopper and Joyce save Will from the Upside Down, it bears a striking resemblance to a similar scene in the 1998 movie Fight the Future. Near the end of the final episode of Season 1, Will coughs up a miniature of whatever had been pulled from his throat in the Upside Down, a scene that is almost frame-by-frame a copy of a scene from Season 2's "The Host." The Duffer Brothers have said in interviews that they were fans of the series during its original run, though it was not credited as having a direct impact on Stranger Things. Eleven's origin story is very similar to Firestarter. One character even explicitly likens the experiments Eleven's mom took part in to something out of a Stephen King novel Her actual abilities are more like Carrie, though. A group of geeky, ostracized middle school kids, joined by some teenagers (including one kid's protective big brother), discovers a secret beneath the surface of their seemingly quiet hometown, while (most) adults remain blissfully ignorant of what's going on... The premise of the series was inspired by The Goonies, and the main protagonist kid in both works is even named Michael. In fact, the actor who played the protagonist in The Goonies has a major supporting role in Season 2. The overarching plot of a missing child being trapped in another dimension who is nevertheless able to contact his family goes all the way back to "Little Girl Lost", an episode of The Twilight Zone (1959). Also to Poltergeist (1982), a movie mentioned in Episode 1 that also includes the dimensionally lost child communicating through electronics. Hopper's Properly Paranoid scene is lifted straight out of Coppola's The Conversation. When Will says he's sure his Christmas present is an Atari, Joyce responds with "An A-what-i?" There are quite a few references to Stephen King throughout the series, including one notable scene of the kids traveling along train tracks. A government experiment that opens a rift to another dimension that lets human-hungry monsters into our world also brings to mind the Stephen King story (and later film) The Mist - it even involves a character going out while attached by a line or cable, the line getting violently thrown around, and nothing on the end once it is reeled in. A girl named Nancy sets booby traps for a supernatural killer she intends to lure into our world and then set on fire. The writers are confirmed to have also taken inspiration from videogames such as the Silent Hill series and The Last of Us. The Upside Down's foggy and creepy design shares a lot of similarities to Silent Hill's Otherworld, while the spores in the air and fungus growing around the Upside Down's entrances is reminiscent of the Cordyceps fungus in The Last of Us. One of the biggest similarities would be how, just like Joel, Chief Hopper is a divorced, gruff man still occasionally haunted by the death of his daughter. Named Sara. Also, both Joel and Hopper have scenes where they fight their way through a hospital to reach an elevator, the pursuers close on their heels. The simple visual explanation in Chapter Five for the Upside Down takes the "move across dimensions like a pencil punching through a folded piece of paper" used in Event Horizon. At the climax battle in Season 2, Eleven pushes her psychic powers to the point her eyes turns dark and she starts levitating, a very similar scene to when Jean Grey from XMen summons her "phoenix" form. Grigori the hitman in Season 3 is one to The Terminator. The music at the end of S3E6, played during the "zombie march" and end titles, is a homage to Philip Glass, particularly his well-known soundtrack to Koyaanisqatsi. A lot of this in Season 3 for Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1956 and 1978). Part of the Mind Flayer's plot to take over Hawkins. Steve's bat twirl is lifted from Willie "Pops" Stargell. Stargell played for the Pittsburgh Pirates from 1962-1982 when that team was a perennial title contender. With Indiana having no professional baseball teams, it is likely Steve was either a fan of the Cincinnati Reds from neighboring Ohio (who were division rivals of the Pirates and in the middle of their "Big Red Machine" dynasty during Steve's youth) or the Pirates themselves. Either way, Steve had ample opportunities to see Stargell and absorb Stargell's bat twirl. In yet another Stephen King related example, Season 4's main plot seems to be heavily inspired by King's It. Both feature a monstrous Big Bad who kills children by feeding on their fears and lives in a spooky old house. |

The Necrons in Warhammer 40,000 started as a clear and blatant homage to the Terminator films: mysterious robotic skeletons, who carried on trying to kill you even if reduced to crawling torsos with no legs, and a special rule called "I'll Be Back". Later changes departed from this, focusing more on their image as impossibly ancient servants of even more impossibly ancient monsters. Essentially now a bunch of Ancient Evil Determinators with a lot of Implacable Man and Omnicidal Maniac along with rather too much scalpel imagery, they maintain the robo-skeleton and "I'll Be Back". The Praetorian Guard regiment is a homage to the soldiers of the British Empire who fought at the battles of Isandlwana and Rorke's Drift in 1879, as depicted in the classic war film Zulu. A regiment of criminals from a notorious hive planet, renowned for their red uniforms, white pith helmets, conflicts with Orks and iron discipline in the face of overwhelming odds. It was created for the "Massacre At Big Toof River" Mega Display which appeared at UK Gamesday '97 in 1997. |

The My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic episode "The Return of Harmony, Part 2" ends with an almost shot-to-shot homage to the ending of Star Wars: A New Hope. Discord himself is a big one to Q. This was the case even before they got Q's actual actor to take up the role (they originally intended to use a sound-a-like) and Lauren Faust admits she created him after a Star Trek Archive Binge. "Super Speedy Cider Squeezy 6000" has a musical number that homages "Trouble in River City" from The Music Man, right down to the crowd chanting "Cider! Cider! Cider!" like the original song's "Trouble! Trouble! Trouble!" There is also the book series Daring Do, a homage to Indiana Jones. |

Superman: House of El: The Eradicator is reimagined as a weapon created to defend Krypton from extrasolar threats, a crystal containing both a power source and AI code that bonds with materials it is introduced to to form a humanoid body, which it then uses to eradicate anything it does not recognize as "true Kryptonian." Unfortunately, the definition of "true Kryptonian" was programmed to be overly narrow, resulting in it stopping the next attack, and then going on to kill thousands of Kryptonians who didn't meet its standards before being subdued and shot into space. Clark lampshades the similarities with the Babylon 5 episode "Infection." | |

Summer Time Rendering: Several elements of the story pay homage to the Siren Games, a series of early 2000s survival horror games. The setting is similar to that of Siren 2, which takes place on an island where an entity called Mother tries to escape her underground imprisonment using her army of Yamibito. The shadows' ability to sense each other's location resembles a core mechanic of the Siren series called "Sightjacking", a skill that allows the protagonists to telepathically see through the eyes of the Shibito which they obtained as a side effect of slowly turning into Shibito themselves. Hiruko first appeared as a whale that washed up on shore, copied and devoured the first girl who approached her, and was revered as a deity after turning several other islanders into shadows to save them from a famine. This is a toned down version of the origin of the first game's Datatsushi, an alien that crash landed near a starving village. The villagers mistook it for a fish and ate it alive, so in retaliation it used its dying breath to curse all but one of them to death. The lone survivor was bestowed immortality and started a religion based around bringing Datatsushi back to life. Tokoyo, the setting of the final battle, is a nod to the Yamibito Dimension from Siren 2, as both are alternate dimensions with a red sky, perpetually eclipsed sun, and populated with docile shadows/Yamibito. The scenario itself mirrors the climax of the first Siren game, where Shinpei/Kyoya chases the weakened final boss into an alternate dimension with no way of returning and finally destroys him with the one weapon Shide/Datatsushi is vulnerable to. The author confirmed that the Extra Chapter records were inspired by the documents and snippets that can be collected in the games' Archive system. |

Il Était Une Fois... la Vie (Once Upon a Time... Life): In this edutainment show about the workings of the human body, to reflect how iodine is a rare but precious element for the organism, one character inspired by Molière's The Miser is seen hoarding iodine, like Harpagon was hoarding gold. More specifically, he looks like the version of Harpagon played by Louis de Funès in his film adaptation of the play. | |

The Legend of Total Drama Island: The entire work is homage to The Book of the Thousand and One Nights, which is the story's structural model. The dodgeball match is largely homage to The Iliad, but Noah's rousing speech in blank verse during the match is based on the "St. Crispin's Day� speech from Henry V. Dawn enchanting the necklace is homage to the Gilbert and Sullivan operetta, The Sorcerer. Dawn essentially acts out the titular sorcerer's part of the Incantation Scene. |

TWICE's most popular songs, "Cheer Up", "TT" and "What is Love?" are just full of homages. The Cheer Up MV revolves around this trope. To be more precise, Nayeon homages the movie Scream, Mina the Japanese movie Love Letter, Sana Sailor Moon, Tzuyu Breakfast at Tiffany's, Momo Resident Evil (2002), Jeongyeon the Hongkongese movie Chungking Express, Jihyo homages Bring It On, Chaeyoung can be homageing any Spaghetti Western, and Dahyun the Korean movie Hwang Jin Yi. The TT MV has the girls dressed in different costumes from popular franchises. Momo as Tinkerbell* (but with red hair), Jihyo as The Snow Queen* (but with dark hair), and Jeongyeon as Pinocchio have the most faithful costume reproductions. Sana dressed as a superhero, Mina as a pirate, Chaeyoung as a mermaid, Dahyun as the Easter Bunny, and Nayeon as the devil don't homage a particular franchise, but they are popular Halloween costumes. Tzuyu's costume has been subject to many different theories* (ghost, witch, and Morticia Addams among others), but was confirmed in the "making of" video to be a vampire costume. The What Is Love? MV pays homage to more films. Nayeon becomes Mia Thermopolis, Jeongyeon and Sana homage the classic pottery scene from Ghost, Mina and Dahyun recreate the headphone scene from the French classic La Boum, Sana and Tzuyu participate in the Twist Contest, Jihyo pines over Jeongyeon in their version of Love Letter, Momo and Tzuyu recreate an iconic dance scene taken from La La Land, Tzuyu and Jeongyeon recreate the fateful meeting of Romeo and Juliet from across the fish tank, and Chaeyoung shows off Mathilda's various disguises for Dahyun's Leon in their homage of The Professional. |

Polly Perkins' phoned-in report on the invasion of New York by robots in Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow bears a striking resemblance to the Hindenberg coverage and actually includes lines lifted directly from a similar scene in The War of the Worlds (1938). Just to add a little extra fillip, the robots emit a sound effect stolen from the Martians of The War of the Worlds (1953). | |

Codename: Kids Next Door has done several of these. Some of them, especially any homages to Star Wars (in "Snowing" and "Elections"), are so close to the originals that they verge on copyright infringement. There's also one (A.R.C.H.I.V.E.) that's a homage to The Animatrix of all things. Incidentally, it was once posted on their blog that they had to scrap a homage to "The Lorax" for being too close to the original. | |

Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex practically invented homages. If the episode isn't a homage to an American, French, or Japanese movie, it's a reference to its source material, the Ghost in the Shell graphic novel. Let's just look at it, shall we? "Jungle Cruise" is a homage to two American horror movies, one of them The Silence of the Lambs. "Night Cruise" is a homage to Taxi Driver. "Make Up" is a homage to Open Your Eyes (the original version of Vanilla Sky). "Poker Face" is a homage to Full Metal Jacket (which is even lampshaded with someone saying the story that was told sounded a lot like a movie they saw). "Trans Parent" is a homage to Wings of Desire. "Chain Reaction" is a homage to volume 4 of TGitS. "Fabricate Fog" is another homage to volume 4 of TGitS. "Endless Gig" has two references to GitS. "Interceptor" has a homage to Blade Runner. "Cash Eye" is a homage to Cat's Eye and Ocean's Eleven. |

TimeSplitters is shock full of this. In TimeSplitters 2 the level Siberia is a homage to GoldenEye. The level is set at a dam in Siberia, 1990. One might add that Free Radical are made up of the core team of GoldenEye and TimeSplitters is regarded as the Spiritual Successor to that game. But it doesn't stop there. NeoTokyo (2014) is set in a rainy Tokyo 2019, that is a copy of the style in Blade Runner (also set in 2019). The Machine Wars levels in TimeSplitters Future Perfect are based off the Terminator franchise. | |

The South Park film, Bigger, Longer, and Uncut, is structured with numerous homages to the structure and musical style of the musical Les Misérables. In fact, South Park does this a lot. "Starvin' Marvin" contains a rather obvious spoof of Braveheart before the big fight between the townsfolk and the mutant turkeys. "Korn's Groovy Pirate Ghost Mystery" is a spoof of a typical episode of Scooby-Doo. "Pip" is a slightly warped Whole-Plot Reference to Charles Dickens' Great Expectations. The entire fight sequence from "Cripple Fight" is lifted — move for move — from the alley fight sequence in John Carpenter's They Live!. "Good Times with Weapons" is a homage to ninja anime shows. "Osama bin Laden Has Farty Pants" features Cartman & Osama in a homage to Bugs Bunny & Elmer Fudd cartoons. The Wizard of Oz in "It's Christmas in Canada". |

Everything Everywhere All at Once: The "raccacoonie" universe where Chad is controlled by a raccoon who helps him cook is a straightforward reference to Ratatouille. The universe where Evelyn is a famous actress is a twofer: The Training Montage where she becomes a master martial artist trained by a mysterious silver-haired mentor (think Pai Mei from Kill Bill) is a homage to the kung-fu films of the 70s and 80s. The plot of this world ends with her and Waymond having a deep conversation in an alleyway at night, with the moody colorful lighting, cinematography, and yearning dialogue echoing Wong Kar-wai's turn-of-the-millennium filmography like In the Mood for Love.note Ke Huy Quan, who plays Waymond in that scene, brought his experience working with Kar-wai onset. |

Auntie Whispers's design looks similar to that of Yubaba from Spirited Away, and she too keeps a young girl in bondage to maintain her dwelling. And, like Yubaba, she's also one of two sister witches, one good and one evil. Being the "good" one, Auntie ultimately ends up more like Zeniba. | |

Scenes and characters in Lindsey Davis' Marcus Didius Falco series have been included, by the author's explicit admission, to be based on scenes and characters in Terry Pratchett's Discworld novels. The Vigiles are an explicit take on the Night Watch, commanded by a Vimes-reminiscent officer and including suspiciously Colon and Carrot-like policemen. Indeed, in the novel Saturnalia, Shout Outs to Hogfather are fast and frequent. Central character Marcus Didius Falco is a disillusioned romantic, harking after the great days of the Roman Republic and who is often far too frank to his main employer, Emperor Vespasian.note Who is explicitly described as "not a Patrician". Which is correct as Flavius Titus Vespasianus did not emerge from the high-born Patrician class in Roman society. Vespasian tolerates this but sends Falco out on dirty missions to the furthest-flung corners of the Empire. Part of Falco's pay goes on maintaining his dead brother's widow and child. Falco, an occasional heavy drinker, is saved by marriage to a noblewoman a long way above him in the social scale. Rank is eventually conferred on the Republican. While not keeping dragons, Falco is made Keeper Of The Imperial Geese as a subtle joke by Vespasian... |

The nuclear testing scene in Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull is a homage to the first draft of the Back to the Future script, in which Marty McFly manages to power the time machine, not with a bolt of lightning but with the radiation from an atomic blast. The entire fake town, complete with mannequins and a television playing the Howdy Doody Show, is ripped straight from the BttF script. Oh, and the time machine? Was originally, not a car, but a refrigerator. | |

The "Connecticut" house set of Who's the Boss? was made to strongly resemble the Connecticut house in the last season of I Love Lucy, with only those changes that might have reasonably been made to a real house between 1959 and the mid-1980s. | |

World in Conflict Soviet Assault has the Russian player character named Romanov, the same name of a certain Premier of the Soviet Union from another wacky universe, although this could be coincidental as well. Probably either a coincidence or yet another derival from the once-existed Romanov dynasty. |

Sgt. Frog is full of these, mainly references to Mobile Suit Gundam and other Humongous Mecha series for the older audience. Examples include Keroro being loaded into a suit a la Mazinger Z ("Pilder on!"), the use of the phrase "Sieg Keron!" (a nod to the phrase "Sieg Zeon!"), and an extended scene where Keroro does his impression of Char Aznable to impress visiting cadet Taruru (the dub even cites the episode they're spoofing: "To appreciate the next minute or so, watch Mobile Suit Gundam episode 12: 'The Threat of Zeon'"). Other, mainly older anime and manga series are paid homage to as well. A Neon Genesis Evangelion homage exploited the fact one of its characters shares the look and voice actor of Kaworu Nagisa. They hang a lampshade on their use of this in episode 24, where after the frogs and Kogoro disappear in the middle of a send-up of Kamen Rider, the following dialogue occurs: | |

An episode of Dexter's Laboratory was done as an episode of Wacky Races, complete with an opening sequence based on that of Wacky Races, and a narrator who was a sound-alike for the late Dave Willock, the narrator on the original show. Another episode was done as Speed Racer. Yet another was done is the style of The Pink Panther cartoon series, complete with silent characters, jazz music, and DeeDee doing the panther's unique walk. | |
