Refrences to pop culture and the real world in Lego Media

[Pohatu: Uniter of Stone]

I was watching the Brain Attack episode on the Hero Factory site the other day, and I noticed that at one point where the Brains have Alpha Team stuck at a three-way intersection, a poster for a movie can be seen. It is an obvious parody of the famous movie "Jaws," and is instead named "Jawblade," complete with matching font, background and a picture of Jawblade approaching a female robot in the same manner as the shark from "Jaws." I was wondering if anyone else has noticed little tidbits like this in Lego media, especially Bionicle/Hero Factory. Feel free to post anything like that, and have a good time!

I seem to remember that Bionicle did have quite a bit of pop-culture/real-world references in it. I can't think of any specific examples, though. This was one contributing factor to the "comatose" theory that sprung up on the forums a few months ago, though.

What about Nuparu saying "I'm an engineer, not a poet."?

Brothers In Arms, where Vultraz mentioned "clicking his red feet together and wishing real hard," was a reference to the Wizard of Oz, though that one was kinda obvious. I'm sure there are others I just can't think of at the moment.

Well there's a ton in the LEGO Movie. Many parts of the movie's humour comes from real-world references such as the "Orb of Titleist" and many others.

Like the Blade of Exact-0 and, of course, the Kragle!

In hero factory brain attack bulk yells BULK SMASH, but that ones pretty obvious

In the Serpentine story arcs in Ninjago, there are Members of the Fangpyre tribe that have Two heads. Believe it or not, some snakes in real life actually have Two heads.

The recent Minifigures online vid has a reference to Monty Python at the end.

Karda Nui, an immense spherical cavern at the heart of the Mata Nui robot, so big that it has its own sky and its own sea, and lit by a glow from its upper reaches, is just like the center of the earth in Journey to the Center of the Earth.

Well, Vezon is a pretty good source of these, such as when the Federation of Fear crew found Miserix. This one's particularly relevant to the example cited in the OP.

 

(Gang sees Miserix in his gigantic dragon form)

Brutaka: Don't say it.

Vezon: We're gonna need --

Brutaka: -- a bigger boat. I know.

 

(Love how Brutaka totally sees this coming, BTW.)
