If I had to teach a class on how to reference things in fiction, I'd use this as the textbook example.
>>80459961
But wasn't Katamari a game for children.
>>80460332
yeah i kind of fucked up
I thought katamari came out like in 2001 but it came out in 2004 and that chowder ep was in 2007
but still, its a reference about a 3 year old game in a childrens show
>tfw we never got the first Katamari game in my country

Abbey road references piss me off. It seems like something that people do when they're trying to be witty but have no wit. I see them way too often.
>>80462390
Yeah but that wasn't the only Beatles reference
I feel like abbey road poses are more tasteful to do now then they were in the 80s and 90s
>>80461050
What was the animation context? The shade panning over them? They do that all the fucking time in shows, is that really a Beetles reference?
>>80462448
No it's still trying to hard to show HAHA REFERENCE FUCK YES DID YOU GET IT? I BET YOU DIDNT LET ME EXPLAIN! IM SO FUCKING SMART levels of bullshitting yourself
pretentious fagots do it all the time in this time
>>80463405
yeah its totally not a beatles reference
>>80463405
In the video it explains all the references
kinda of a self reference
A lot of the giant robot references in Dexter's Lab and PPG.
>>80462390
>>80463436
It's like you haven't seen the episode.
>>80463710

>>80463710

There's a lot more than I even realized. But then, I only have a casual knowledge of Beatles tracks.
Of course, Him's speech patterns being based on the Blue Meanie goes without saying.
