1''[[AC:VideoGame/LeisureSuitLarry1InTheLandOfTheLoungeLizards]]''
2* Since Larry is stuck in TheSeventies (and dressed appropriately), he partly dances at the club like Creator/JohnTravolta in ''Film/SaturdayNightFever''. And [[ThatRussianSquatDance like a Cossack]], similarly to the ''SNF'' parody in ''Film/{{Airplane}}'', including a similar gag involving the girl being thrown up into the air and taking several seconds to come back down. Finally, the song that plays on the dance floor in the VGA version is [[RockMeAmadeus a funky version]] of [[Music/LudwigVanBeethoven Beethoven's Fifth Symphony]], just like Walter Murphy's "A Fifth of Beethoven" from the ''SNF'' soundtrack.
3* In ''Reloaded'', one of the random doors you can knock on in the hotel has someone proclaim: "Never mind, [[Creator/AlysonHannigan Alyson]], just tell me again about that [[Film/AmericanPie one time in band camp]].."
4* Also in ''Reloaded'', you can find pin-ups of [[VideoGame/SpaceQuest Beatrice Spankmeister]] and [[VideoGame/PoliceQuest "Sweet Cheeks" Marie]] in the back of Lefty's.
5* Traveling to one of the new locations added in ''Reloaded'' has the Narrator explain that Larry has traveled through [[VideoGame/ColossalCave a maze of twisty little passages, all alike]].

8* Princess Rosella from the ''VideoGame/KingsQuest'' series cameos as a hairdresser.

10''[[AC:VideoGame/LeisureSuitLarry3PassionatePattiInPursuitOfThePulsatingPectorals]]''
11* Typing in "look ass" when a girl is present gives the response "Round, firm, fully-packed! So easy on the draw!", which is a reference to a 1947 song by Merle Travis.
12* "The Incredible Dork" (the music that plays when Larry is working out) is a pastiche of ''Franchise/{{Rocky}}'''s "Gonna Fly Now", with Nontoonyt Island's theme mixed in.

15''[[AC:VideoGame/LeisureSuitLarry6ShapeUpOrSlipOut]]''
16* The song "Cell Block Love" is all about [[VideoGame/PoliceQuest Sonny and Marie Bonds' love life]].
17
18''[[AC:VideoGame/LeisureSuitLarry7LoveForSail]]''
19* The Juggs' {{Leitmotif}} is a country rock version of [[VideoGame/FreddyPharkasFrontierPharmacist "The Ballad of Freddy Pharkas."]]
20* Looking at the poodle skin in the ship's kitchen will cause the narrator to exclaim "No! Not Fifi!", a possible reference to Archduke Fifi le Yipyap from ''VideoGame/KingsQuestVIIThePrincelessBride''.
21* In the cooking contest, when the male judge sees the female judges reaction to Larry's special cuisine, he say "I'll have what she's having" ala ''Film/WhenHarryMetSally''
22''[[AC:VideoGame/LeisureSuitLarryMagnaCumLaude]]''
23* Harriet is a dead ringer for Michelle from ''Film/AmericanPie''. You can even get Larry to lampshade it during the conversation where he [[BreakingTheFourthWall yells at his agent]] with one of the incorrect dialogue choices.
24-->'''Larry''': OK, we all saw ''American Pie''. Haha. [[WhoWritesThisCrap Let's get some fresh material.]]
25* The "brain-exchanging machine" is an [[Film/ThisIslandEarth interocitor]].
26
27''[[AC:VideoGame/LeisureSuitLarryWetDreamsDontDry]]''
28* The title itself is a reference to ''VideoGame/{{D4}}'' (''Dark Dreams Don't Dry'')
29* Quite a few women on Timber are references, for example, [[https://steamuserimages-a.akamaihd.net/ugc/973235725992820920/E3BF360AD454D02EE7C8184638A2B23494A3E216/ Sara Soft]] (''Franchise/TombRaider'', specifically the polygonal Platform/PlayStation games)
30* Lefty's bathroom stall sports a ''[[VideoGame/CallOfDuty Call of Doo Doo]]'' poster on it.
