Supernanny: The Theory Animated Tropes/Shout Out

Seasons 1-3

 * The title of the episode "Russia's Farewell to Kids" is a reference to the 1977 album by Rush, "A Farewell to Kings". Plus, the word Russia in the title sounds a lot like the aforementioned band, giving more ground to the reference.

Season 4-present

 * Reicheru is inspired by Agatha Prenderghast from the ParaNorman film. She is also based off pyrokinetic and psychic fighting video game characters.
 * Toshio Samo's personality, especially in later seasons, is influenced by Josef Mengele and Kylo Ren from Star Wars.
 * Samantha Hinkhouse is an obvious reference to Gosalyn Mallard from Darkwing Duck.
 * Maria Tachimi's character is a love letter to Hikiko.
 * The episode The Nuclear Age, aside from being a spoof on 1950s television sitcoms, contains a lot of '50s references, though some are references to works from before said decade.
 * '50s Catherine the Spellcaster is like a female version of Yen Sid from the 1940 Disney movie Fantasia.
 * '50s versions of Marilou and Another Nicole idolize Marilyn Monroe.
 * '50s Nicole is an homage to June Cleaver and Margaret Anderson from Leave It to Beaver and Father Knows Best respectively.
 * '50s Samuel is literally Eddie Haskell and Dennis the Menace combined into one teenage otter.
 * '50s Maria Tachimi is based off 1950s tomboy characters in general.
 * The gag of Samuel sometimes holding up signs when in danger alludes to Wile E. Coyote's form of communication.
