* One of the Bloo clones in "Bloo's Brothers" resembles WebAnimation/HomestarRunner, which is funny as both of the Creator/TheBrothersChaps, the series' creators, would later write episodes of ''WesternAnimation/WanderOverYonder'' alongside Craig [=McCracken=].

* "World Wide Wabbit":
** This episode, which sees footage of Mr. Herriman's dancing for Madame Foster being uploaded to the internet, seems to be a spoof of any online videos going viral and becoming famous by the public for it, and there are different versions of the footage uploaded that seem to be a spoof of [=YouTube Poops=]... until you realize that the episode premiered less than five months before Website/YouTube existed and seven months before the first [=YouTube=] video was posted. This did not go unnoticed by the show's staff, as a later episode, "Bloo Tube" features a spoof of [=YouTube=] called [=ViewTube=], where the "Funny Bunny" video is shown to have over twelve million views.
** This episode's title is a reference to how WesternAnimation/ElmerFudd [[ElmuhFuddSyndwome pronounces "Rabbit"]] on ''WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes'', given that Mr. Herriman is a tall gray hare like WesternAnimation/BugsBunny. Eleven years later, an episode of ''WesternAnimation/WabbitALooneyTunesProduction'' would have an episode titled "World Wide Wabbit".
* Anything that involves [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic the ponies/unicorns/pegasi]], especially if you know that Creator/LaurenFaust was one of the show's writers and Creator/TaraStrong was a recurring voice actor.
** [[http://www.fosters-home.com/screengrabs/1/17-0034.jpg Could that possibly be Rainbow Dash?]]
* In the episode "Bye Bye Nerdy", Bloo is shown playing a ''VideoGame/SpaceInvaders''-esque game with a power-up that shoots a giant vertical laser. A few years later a game title ''Space Invaders Extreme 2'' has that exact same power-up.
* In the episode "Seeing Red", Terrence imagines a pizza friend whom he eats, right after it says that it loves him, much to its horror. Cue twelve years later, ''WesternAnimation/SausageParty'' gets released, which is a film about {{anthropomorphic food|}}s who revere humans at first but eventually learn that the humans they look up to use them for eating and not for friendship, once they get purchased.
* Red bears a resemblance to a another [[WesternAnimation/InsideOut short-tempered blocky red guy]].
* The much-hated Bendy now shares his name with [[VideoGame/BendyAndTheInkMachine a horror game character]], and this Bendy even gets covered in ink in his episode. The other Bendy is actually very well-received, unlike ''Foster's'' Bendy.
* The season 4 premiere "Challenge of the Super Friends", is the show's main SuperheroEpisode, the season 5 premiere airs the same day ''Film/SpiderMan3'' was released in theaters. Also in the same episode there are many ''Franchise/StarWars'' references such as ''Film/RevengeOfTheSith'' and ''Film/TheEmpireStrikesBack'', what also becomes funny is that the season 5 premiere aired on what will later be National Star Wars Day.
* One of the Bloo clones in "Bloo's Brothers" resembles WebAnimation/HomestarRunner, which is funny as both of the Creator/TheBrothersChaps, the series' creators, would later write episodes of ''WesternAnimation/WanderOverYonder'' alongside Craig [=McCracken=].
* In the Japanese dub, Bloo is voiced by the same person as [[Manga/{{Naruto}} Sasuke Uchiha.]] A few years later, ''Naruto'' castmate Creator/JunkoTakeuchi would voice another blue character in a Creator/CartoonNetwork series... his name is [[WesternAnimation/TheAmazingWorldOfGumball Gumball Watterson.]]
* Deo Brand Deodorant in "The Sweet Stench of Success" became associated with Dio Brando after the 2010s anime adaption of ''Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventure''.
* In "My So Called Wife", Mac and Bloo make a fake charity, Jet Cars For Tots, so they can compete in the charity games. While intended as a parody of Toys For Tots, a different charity has sprung up and become rather infamous in the years since: [=Kars4Kids=].
