History ShoutOut / Oglaf

* [[https://www.oglaf.com/knightsandknaves/ "Knights and Knaves"]] has the [[https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/rsz_illustration_6.png large engraved mouth]] (which is a DeathTrap containing a Sphere of Annihilation) from the infamous ''TabletopGame/TombOfHorrors'' [[TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons D&D]] module in the far bottom-left of the strip. This particular story's concept may have even been inspired by [[KleptomaniacHero savvy players deciding to steal the Tomb's valuable doors]].

* [[http://www.oglaf.com/ornithology "Ornithology"]] is one to ''Literature/TheHobbit'', and the general [[JustEatGilligan "why didn't they just use the eagles"]] debate that's dogged ''Literature/TheLordOfTheRings''.

* [[http://www.oglaf.com/ornithology "Ornithology"]] is one to Creator/PeterJackson's adaptation of ''Film/TheHobbit''.

* "Hurly-Burly" is one to ''{{Theatre/Macbeth}}'', consisting of three ethereal women appear to a guy to [[GirlOnGirlIsHot have lesbian sex in front of him]] while telling him a prophecy. Said prophecy is to repeat that he's going to be king before changing at the last second to mock him by saying he'll be "wank-king" (which he, of course, [[ADateWithRosiePalms is doing so right now]]). He tells his actual king about meeting some witches who did the worst pun, who responds that the same thing happened to him right before he became king. Like Macbeth, [[SelfFulfillingProphecy the guy clearly now has it in his head to become a king]] because of the "prophecy" (and the AltText for the second page is a parody of the famous "Fair is foul and foul is fair" line from the play).

* The AltText to the strip where a woman tells a man he's safe from arrest if he's inside her "[[UnusualEuphemism embassy]]" says "I had that [[Music/TheCult Cult]] song stuck in my head the whole time." That song presumably being "She Sells Sanctuary".
* In the words of the AltText for page three of "Lapis Lazuli", "Thankyou, cover of [[TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons the Players' Handbook]]." - to be exact, the first edition's Players' Handbook cover, which depicts individuals prying the gem eyes of a large statue like the ending of "Lapis Lazuli".

* The erstwhile ChosenOne of "Pay to Win" is [[Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda clearly inspired by Link]], with the framing of a hero falling victim to ShopliftAndDie due to NoHeroDiscount probably being based on ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaLinksAwakening''.

* The erstwhile ChosenOne of "Pay to Win" is [[Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda clearly inspired by Link]], with the framing of a hero falling victim to ShopliftAndDie due to NoHeroDiscount probably being based on ''VideoGame/LinksAwakening''.

* The [[http://www.wowhead.com/spell=90833 Skull Drinking Cup]] from ''VideoGame/WorldOfWarcraft'' with "So thirsty..." in its description is a reference to ''Oglaf'''s "[[http://oglaf.com/skulls/ Skulls]]" strip.

* The AltText to the strip where a woman tells a man he's safe from arrest if he's inside her "[[UnusualEuphemism embassy]]" says "I had that Cult song stuck in my head the whole time." That song presumably being "She Sells Sanctuary".

* Grier manages one to ''Franchise/WonderWoman'''s golden lasso in the 3rd page of [[http://oglaf.com/grill/3/ "Grill"]], saying to an interrogation subject that he will tell the truth if she ties him up with it. When he points out it's [[SubvertedTrope not golden]], she says [[JackBauerInterrogationTechnique it isn't magic either]].

* The store sells "Oglaf tracts" that are an obvious parody of ComicBook/ChickTracts. The first character in [[http://oglaf.com/throne-heaven/ this strip]] should also look familiar to anyone who has read a Chick Tract.
