![]() A reference to The Brave Little Toaster is made in the end, where Robin's Lampy, Starfire's Toaster, and Raven's Kirby.He also starts filling the Tower with a green gas that looks like the neurotoxin from Portal.He even starts speaking in a Creepy Monotone, only shows his cybernetic eye, and utters the famous line "I'm sorry, but I cannot do that". When Cyborg is hooked up to the Titans Tower mainframe, he loses his humanity and starts acting more like HAL 9000.There were many comparisons between the two actors during the height of Webster's popularity. But he probably wasn't mixing them up, as Emmanuel Lewis is actually five inches shorter than Gary Coleman was.Cyborg may have confused him with Gary Coleman, who starred in Diff'rent Strokes. He mentions that the actor who played Webster "was like 40 in real life".He later talks about Webster and The Pointer Sisters.During Cyborg's explanation on VHS, a still from Batman: The Animated Series is shown on a TV, and both Cats Don't Dance and The Iron Giant are shown on VHS tapes.How have we gone this long without how Raven told him how "With great power, comes greater responsibility"?.Beast Boy looks like Yoda when he becomes an old man.The way Cyborg lands after beating Gizmo is basically the same as generally used by Iron Man.And with it comes Superman's signature spit curl. Raven gives Robin nearly all of Superman's superpowers.In "You're Fired", Zan hides as water in a fishbowl while Beast Boy is a goldfish, referencing The Fairly OddParents.Earlier, they buy a Native American headdress, a construction worker's helmet, and a cowboy hat. During the French fry eating montage, the boys gobble fries like Pac-Man gobbles pellets.Beast Boy combs his hair down, but has a cowlick similar to Alfalfa from The Little Rascals.When Robin asks Cyborg why he's helping him regain his leadership, Cyborg responds " Because I hate bananas!".In addition, some of his gorilla sounds when he's refusing to speak are directly ripped from Mario Kart 64's DK voice.Sounds like he's been playing a certain series of games too much. Beast Boy is under the impression that gorillas and crocodiles are natural enemies.The money used in the episode have Lex Luthor on the bills, a shout out to the fact that for a while, Luthor was President of the United States.Starfire buys an itsy bitsy teenie weenie yellow polka dot bikini.Apparently, the skeleton reaching for water under Starfire's bed was Deadman (Boston Brand).Of course, as he was looking for something else, he tossed it aside. Of the many references to other DC characters in the series, perhaps the most potentially impactful on the story was Beast Boy finding a Green Lantern ring in the couch at the start of "La Larva de Amor"."La Larva de Amor" has several during the milk mustache contest, such as Robin becoming Mario, Raven becoming Gandalf and Beast Boy becoming Chewbacca, complete with Bowcaster.At the start of "Ghost Boy", Beast Boy pops out of Robin's closet as a Velociraptor using the Jurassic Park T.When the suits start attacking, Robin's and Raven's suits slack off and dance to the "Yeah! Woo!" loop.Starfire's dress-making skills and the end result is a lot like what the character Giselle does for a hobby in Enchanted.When Beast Boy uses a vacuum to suck up Cyborg's soul, the music resembles the Ghostbusters theme.Another one is DCAU's Brainiac ("too brainy"). One of Cyborg's bodies is shaped like one of the Voltron lions in leg mode.It should be noted that the episode baits viewers who know this into predicting that Robin stopped relaxing after his parents were killed just like in the comics, only to reveal that it's because the animals kept stealing his stuff. This is in line with a previous reference to the circus in the original Teen Titans series when Raven entered Robin's mind. The circus flashback itself is a reference to Robin's backstory.In Robin's flashback scene, the bear wearing a collar is a reference to Yogi Bear.The voice in Robin's head sounds like either George Zimmer of the old Men's Warehouse commercials or Tom Shane of the Shane Company commercials.Starfire's dress is based on Jane Jetson's.Starfire's date with Speedy is a reference to their relationship in the New 52.The same version of Bane is also drawn on the punching bag in Robin's room. ![]() Starfire has a The Dark Knight Rises Bane plushie on her bed.Robin bribes Cyborg and Beast Boy with Scooby Snacks to make them look after Speedy.Robin has a Superman figurine hanging from his ceiling light.In "The Best Robin", there is a box of "Bane Bites" with the tagline " Back-Achingly Good!".
