Added DiffLines:
* In the first chapter, Jake compares [[ActionGirl Rachel]] to ComicBook/{{Storm}}. However, a much more common nickname for her is Series/XenaWarriorPrincess.
* Amusingly enough, the name of the mind-controlling slugs is an anagram of the middle name of Senator John Yerkes Iselin from ''Literature/TheManchurianCandidate''. However, according to WordOfGod, the Yeerks in ''Literature/{{Animorphs}}'' take their name from Creator/JRRTolkien's [[ConLang Sindarin]] Elvish word for Orcs, ''yrch''.
* More Tolkien references include Ax's middle name, Esgarrouth, derived from the Middle-Earth town of Esgaroth. In ''The Unknown'', the air force base personnel use the cover identity "Gondor Industries" on their night out at The Gardens. Alloran's name is pronounced like Olorin, Gandalf's true name, and Elfangor is named after the Fangorn forest (more obvious in his human alias, Al Fangor). Also, the EldritchAbomination Crayak is pretty obviously based on Sauron (most notably his appearance).
* Marco at one point [[Film/CaddyShack destroyed a pool party by putting a Baby Ruth bar in the swimming pool.]]
* Marco mentions the ComicBook/FantasticFour in ''The Invasion'', and he and Jake sometimes [[CavemenVsAstronautsDebate debate whether]] ComicBook/SpiderMan or Franchise/{{Batman}} would win in a fight.
* Also many, many more subtle and insignificant ones, such as the six dolphins named after the main characters of ''Series/{{Friends}}'' in book #4.
* Generally, Applegate references her favorite things often in the series: ''Franchise/StarTrek'', the Rolling Stones, the Ford Mustang, Dr. Pepper, et cetera.
* In ''The Alien'', they take Ax to see a ''Star Trek'' movie (most likely ''Film/StarTrekFirstContact'' or ''Film/StarTrekInsurrection'').
* In ''The Solution'', Rachel has a dream in which she morphs elephant in a crowded mall. She crushes a kid in an orange jacket, prompting someone to say, "[[WesternAnimation/SouthPark Oh, my God! She killed Kenny!]]"
* Marco's recommendations for Ax to watch in ''The Experiment'': ''Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer'', ''Series/PartyOfFive'', ''Series/{{Cops}}'', and ''WesternAnimation/SouthPark''.
* Marco also mentions ''Buffy the Vampire Slayer'' to be his favorite show in ''The Discovery''.
* In ''The Proposal'', Rachel and Tobias mention that they're missing ''Series/{{Felicity}}''.
* One of Ax's favorite shows (other than "[[{{Advertising}} These Messages]]") is ''Series/TheYoungAndTheRestless''.
* When the Helmacrons shrink the group, Marco makes a ''Film/HoneyIShrunkTheKids'' reference.
