Episode 4: The kids from Lord of the Flies don't get there by boat, they are rescued by boat. They get there when their plane crashes and it is implied due to gunfire in WW2

They also hunt pigs, stab Simon with pointy sticks, and steal poor Piggy's glasses. Personally I think the episode title is meant to reference both Lord of the Rings and Lord of the Flies and not just one or the other. LotF because of the island and such, and LotR because of the magic ring and hobbit reference. xD

If it counts, in episode 26 at around 00:10, Kaiba's lines are similar to those of infomercials. "And that's not all!" xD

Also, in the movie, Joey is the one who mentions TekWars, not Tristan

Ep 1: The first three lines said by Yugi up to, "It's your move" are in the anime as is "What did you do that for" "so that it could never be used against me"

Episode 27 She Blinded me with card games

Marik says "Excellent my mind slave, excellent! Ah ha ha! Ah ha ha ha ha!" His laugh is exactly like Mandark's from Dexter's Laboratory

The music from the zombie fight scene in the movie is from a similar fight scene in The Matrix... 2 or 3?

how about in Episode 2 when Yami says "You can see into my mind?" in the exact same way that Solid Snake says it in Egoraptor's Metal Gear Awesome.
Another reference to Metal Gear Awesome is in Episode 35 when Tristan tells Joey that Serenity is "still hot A**hole"
Solid Snake says a similar thing in Metal Gear Awesome in reference to the Colonel's daughter Meril

Ep 10
when joy refers to Yu-Gi-Oh DMX is in reference to the artist of the rap song played shortly after.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but if I'm right the part in Ep. 27 where it explains the missing scene about Tristan punching Joey, the music sounds like the daytime town music in Dragon Quest VIII.

Okay, here's my contribution:

The music playing when it shows the screen saying "Somewhere in Egypt" (i.e. beginning of both episodes of Marik's Evil Council of Doom and near the end of the 2008 Christmas Special), the song is "Serhr Oyounik (The Magic in Your Eyes)" by Hossam Ramzy. Great list! =)

I was right, the music played at 5:30 in episode 27 is called Peaceful Town from Dragon Quest VIII.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oC_Tkxb7FpY

That is three tracks from DQ8, but the first one is Peaceful Town. I played it then the part of episode 27, to make sure I was right.

I have watched and rewatched these episodes on my iPhone enough times that I?ve lost count.

I just wanted to toss my hat into the ring and help fill out the already robust references list. A few are some corrections and a few are just additional references that were missing from the list.

Episode 15
* (04:16) Tristan?s line of Star Trek quotes is probably more along the lines of how people will say Trek when talking about Wars and visa versa. Tristan being the moron character makes it more likely that LK is poking fun at people who get the two franchises mixed up.

Episode 21
* (7:!7) More accurately Fable is an Xbox action RPG game that eventually got ported to PC and Mac consoles.

Episode 26
*( 02:49) The training robot in question is named GLaDOS.

Episode 27
* (3:!6) Yes indeed Joey?s mother?s voice is an exact match for Dr. Girlfriend?s voice

Episode 35
*The title is a parody of a Tale of Two Cities. A popular and old book about a prince and a peasant who happen to look exactly a like and trade places at times.
* Yugi?s opening line is a parody of the famous line from the same book, ?It was the best of times it was the worst of times.?
* 3rd Card is ?Buddy Christ? from the Kevin Smith movie ?Dogma? It was supposed to be a redesign of the symbol of the Catholic church to have a happier image than a crucifix. You can actually buy small versions of these online.
* (1:34) Pegasus? line ?I?m in your ....? is a nod to a very common trend of LOLcats expressions. One of the earliest LOLcats had the caption ?im in ur base, killing ur d00ds? Which depending on who you ask is the very first LOLcat ever.
*(01:38) Jar-Jar Binks is widely thought to be the very worst character ever made for the Star Wars universe. He is basically a comic relief character but unlike Tristan he is not ever funny.
*(01:49) ?Exodia go down the hole? is a Parody of the line ?Water go down the hole.? Spoken by Baby Plucky is a short from the animated show Tiny Toons. In the episode it shows an infant Plucky learning that he can flush things down the toilet. He repeats the line many times in the episode flushing numerous items.
* (02:19) ?I?m the goddamn Kaibaman? is actually a quote from a current comic book series written by Frank Millar called All-Star Batman and Robin. In it he has a very mean spirited Batman who says things like ?Im the goddamn Batman.? This version of Batman is not very popular with fans thus the need to poke fun at it.
* (02:52) This is a parody of the infamous Jar-Jar Bink?s line best known from the Episode 1 trailer. This exact line was also parodied in South Park?s Movie Bigger Longer and Uncut.
* (04:04) seems obvious but it is worth noting that this is a reference to how when videogames come out on the Wii they are usually at a much lower quality than those of the PS3 of Xbox360. Usually even worse than the Wii itself is able to handle. They are laughably bad sometime.
*(04:12) ?So beautiful ... they should have sent a poet) is the exact line from the movie Contact.
*(4:40) ?I don?t want to be an American idiot.? Is a line from the song (gasp) American Idiot by Green Day.
* (06:24) ... which itself is a parody of ?We didn?t start the fire?

Episode 36
* The title is a parody of "The Man Who Would Be King" (1888) a short story by Rudyard Kipling.
* Drinking games are basically when you take a shot of your ?alcoholic? beverage of choice whenever a certain phrase or person shows up in a show. There are thousands of them out there for a majority of the tv shows that exist.
*(01:49) ?Bullwinkle voice? The character of Bullwinkle from Rocky and Bullwinkle is a cartoon moose who is indeed how Tristan sounds. It seems that even though Tristan started as a parody of Barney he quickly became more of a Bullwinkle parody.
* (04:14) ?didn?t you see the red light?? and ?Because I?m surrounded by hoes? is a subtle nod to the Red Light districts in some countries that are places one can go to find prostitutes and strippers.
*(4:54) Care Bears was a very cheesy and overly cheery animated show from the 80?s.
*(07:04) seems obvious but... Joey?s yell as he swings on the chain is the common yell of Tarzan as he swings on vines. Only instead of ah the syllables have been replaced with joey?s infamous ?nyeh?.

Episode 37:
* The five cards that scroll across the screen spell D-E-A-T-H.
*(2:49) That woman from the 2007 Transformers movie. They are talking about Megan Fox who did indeed have an over the top fake tan. But she?s so hot that nobody seems to mind.
*(2:51) Shia LaBeouf is the main (male) star of the same Transformers movie.

Cr@psule Monsters 1:
*(04:49): ?I?ll be your friend? is a parody of the Persuasive Detective from the Simpsons episode ?Cape Feare? He says the line in an attempt to get Sideshow Bob to leave town. Making him one of the most memorable of the very minorist of all Simpsons characters.

Cr@psule Monsters 2
* (00:43) They shout Army of Darkness because that is how the main character falls from the sky in Army of Darkness.

To expand on the reference in episode 35

(02:18) Knuckles the Echidna is a Sonic The Hedgehog character.

Both Knuckles the Echidna in Sonic X and Yugi are voiced in their english dubs by DAN GREEN!

(03:30) The cards that the gang holds here shows :
Yugi's : This boy is the Star Wars Kid, a very popular internet meme.

I'd like to make a correction
the card is actully the "Black Magician" from Final Fantasy.

Seto Kaiba's Real Father
Quote:
Row 2 - Picture 2 : Sammy Stephens is the owner of Flea Market Montgomery. No idea why he could be Seto Kaiba's father.
I'm guessing, since he's the owner of a Flea Market, it's just irony.

Quote:
Row 3 - Picture 1 : HeavyDDR was a troll-member and sub-mod in the YGOTAS forums. No idea why he could be Seto Kaiba's father or what that image is.
The picture appears to be that kid from the "Blood" YouTube video that was also in Cr@psule Monsters 2.

Magnum Farce is obviously a play on the movie Magnum Force, one of the Dirty Harry movies. Though I fail to see the connection to the episode, as there was no Van Dam or ****ing Ninja's
in Magnum Force.

Quote:

The reference was actually to a famous episode of Oprah, where Tom Cruise was jumping around like an idiot to show how much in love he was, to the point it confused Oprah who became concerned about his antics.

It would be cool if this turned out to be true, unfortunately I couldn't confirm it as Ash's voice actor in AnimeNewsNetwork is only listed once in Yu-Gi-Oh as playing Chris ("Waking the Dragons").
I don't know where to find a good source, but I know for a fact that Veronica Taylor indeed did voice both Ash and the kid in the hospital.

Episode 36, the drinking game is most likely from yu-jyo.net, a popular and very reliable Yugioh sub/dub comparison website. If LK's a big a Yu-Gi-Oh fan as he would have to be to parody the whole series, he would be very familiar with this website.

He obviously got the idea from the South Park episode "It hits the fan", too. He has made references to that show before. In that episode, there was a counter in the corner and whenever someone would say the word "shit", it would go up on.

5th Parappa the Rapper

1:33 - Craddle robber or craddle snatcher - a term for a woman who's quite older than usualy teenage or young adult love interest/partner

2:39 - Naruto april joke refference

4:24 - well you can't get that in other countries than UK or US :< but no one would buy such stuff in poland f.eg if it was named more than 2 words like 'Not Butter'[Niemasło] would be funny but 'Nie uwierze w to że to nie jest masło' sounds akward.
But I find it hillarous that such stuff exist xD

5:47 - Samurai Depper Kyo behind scenes [voiced by Dan Green] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DDyLcacextg

6:08 - Bale's rant on the set of Terminator:Salvation http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tLXVuy0h29c
but the most hillarous thing is that he actualy voiced Howl in Howl's Moving Castle xDDDDDD

It's the character John Zhang, from Lefty Films' machima video "Eden: The Zhang Chronicles". Kroze and LK played parts in it.

0:34 secs. - This part is a reference to Troy McClure, a character of the Simpsons who, when he introduces himself, lists some of the works he has been in.

0:42 secs. - This film is a reference to the mini-series of homestarrunner.com called Teen Girl Squad, specifically issue #10.
Here is the video. Skip to 2:59.
