Most hilarious/awesome/unexpected reference joke you've heard

[General Ken8]

So, fellow Escapists, what is the best reference joke you've heard in recent memory?

I was re-reading all of the Scott Pilgrim comics recently, and I had just gotten to the part where Ramona is fighting Envy before The Clash at Demonhead concert. There's a page where Scott is trying to think of how to save Ramona, and then he says, "Yeah, I know! I GOTTA BELIEVE!"


Skip to about 1:55 for the reference. Having played this game before, I literally was on the floor laughing

The Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas reference from Rango


Color me surprised that it was in a kid's film!

I don't watch it but I was surprised when I found out they mentioned Arceus in House


I mean referencing Pokemon is surprising enough, but to not even go the easy route and mention Pikachu or something is just awesome.

When I first saw that weeks ago. My jaw dropped.


In Borderlands 2 Zer0 references Yu-Gi-Oh when you use a hologram.

"How Hilarious, You just set off my trap card!"

This comes to mind:


Those are indeed Halo guns. (Just the Needler but still!)

Well Nunu Bot is pretty much self aware in LoL. Fucking funny.

"Tower dive. We must. Tower dive"

"My ultimate will devastate them. Or not"

"Stop feeding"

"Welcome to Nunu Champion Spotlight, presented by Yeti Bot"

Oh and there's an awesome DBZ reference with Pulsefire Ezreal's taunt

*Ezreal fires up his eyepiece*

Ezreal: "What does the scanner say about their power level?"

PEARL: "No enemies display a power level over 9000"

Ezreal: "Heh. I thought so."

Half the dance animations reference some thing or another. Ezreal's dance is fucking Haruhi Suzumiya! That anime must god knows how old by now.


Well i guess that anime is old enough to belong in a museum

Damnit Hazy, you stole my one! =P

But yeah, when I first saw that I was basically "Oh my god, did House just make a Pokemon reference, and not only that a relatively clever one!? OMG My favourite series are colliding!" And then my head exploded.

Since you stole that one I'll have to use another.

Now while it isn't surprising that an episode based in a video game would have some video game references, I was amazed by just how many they put in a freeze frame in the Digital Estate Planning episode of Community.

It's just awesome. This link will show just how many were in there.
