| - Stuck, as a result of being written by a media-overdosed teenage troper named Tre, has loads of references to other works he likes. Here are a few of 'em.
* Tre says "frak" as a way to curse without actually cursing.
* Also, when Nora and Tre are in the Möbler, they watch "The Iron Giant".
* Tre contemplates jumping off of a crane's edge.
* The doors that one can use as shortcuts in Tre's school are orange on one side and blue on the other.
* The Messenger originally was going to name themself Rebel.
* Todd is The Shadow... Todd in the Shadows. Coincidence?
* Cale looks like Jimmy Neutron with glasses, according to Nora.
* Grassy at one point asks a kid named Milton if he could borrow his stapler.

* Tre contemplates jumping off of a crane's edge.
* The doors that one can use as shortcuts in Tre's school are orange on one side and blue on the other.

* Todd is The Shadow... Todd in the Shadows. Coincidence?
* Cale looks like Jimmy Neutron with glasses, according to Nora.
* Grassy at one point asks a kid named Milton if he could borrow his stapler.
* When The Shadow reveals that he's Todd, Tre replies "Ingram, or Daring?"
* The plotline of Stuck at the Wheel vaguely resembles that of The Fugitive.
* "You might as well be walking on the sun." Remind you of anyone?
* When Tre finishes his Replay, the sequence following it partially resembles the scene in Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows where Harry goes into limbo after dying.
* When the gang contemplates what to name the Challenger that eventually becomes The Dynamo, the names "ELAINE" and "The Ecto-2" are bandied around.
* Lampshaded by Nora right after, too.
* Marceline Hughes shares a first name with a certain vampire queen, though it isn't made obvious because in most cases she's called Marcy.
* Cale McMillen's named after Cale Tucker from Titan A.E..
* Allie's a badass action girl with the last name Silverburgh.
* The name of the second act of Stuck at the Galleria is "The Duck Hunter", a reference to both Duck Hunt and Spy Hunter.
* "Bluh, bluh, bluh!"
* Vampires tend to be fans of chainsaws.
* Max picks up his phone in a hard-boiled manner.
* Most of Lyle Terry's digital art he posts on his Tumblr is usually based on Homestuck panels.
* "Young Folks" by Peter Bjorn and John is referenced at the beginning of Tagged, and Tre namedrops it, for that matter.
* For that matter, the soundtrack playlist for Episode One includes songs by Skrillex and Deadmau5, both of which are referred to in the book (though not entirely by name).
* Nora battles pink robots.
* The sequence in Episode One Act 3 where Nora drives a Civic through the mall has a few elements of the mall car chase in The Blues Brothers.
* Vampires in the books have an odd quirk in that after recieving injuries that would generally kill a human, they regenerate into a new person.
* Another one that started as an odd coincidence: By his third outing as a main character, Tre ends up having ridiculous hair, parkour skills and an affinity towards using a sword that isn't actually a real one. Same thing with Fancy Pants Man.
* Tre's middle name is Reginald.
