* In Issue 4, one of the things that Zim has to do to "charge the weapon" is to [[Film/DrStrangelove ride it as it falls through the air while wearing a cowboy hat]].
* Issue 5 of the comic series goes into almost ReferenceOverdosed territory with its shout outs to various video games, starting with the title "The UsefulNotes/HumbleBundle of Horrors" and continuing with:
** An unnamed ''VideoGame/{{Minecraft}}'' parody
** ''[[VideoGame/TheBindingOfIsaac The Binding of Bleep Bloop]]''
** ''[[VideoGame/CallOfDuty Soldier of Doody]] [[SequelSnark 25]]''
** ''[[VideoGame/DarkSouls Dank Souls]]''
** ''[[VideoGame/MarioKart Bloatyo Kart 9]]''
** ''[[VideoGame/{{Portal}} Puzhole]]''
** ''[[VideoGame/AnimalCrossing Critter Debt Simulator]]''
** ''[[VideoGame/AngryBirds Angry Turds]]''
** ''[[VideoGame/MetalGearSolid Meat Gear Solid 13]]'' (with Dib as "Big Burger")
* In Issue 8, the space pants hatch from what look like either [[Franchise/{{Alien}} Xenomorph eggs]] or [[Film/InvasionOfTheBodySnatchers body snatcher pods]]. And speaking of the latter, when Dib is first being chased through the skool by the pants-possessed, in one panel a man who looks like Creator/DonaldSutherland's character in the 70s version points at him and screeches, a iconic action of the aliens in that movie.
* When Zim declares himself the new Burrito King in Issue 18, he demands the first of his new "minions" [[Film/TheGodfather kiss his (burrito) ring]].
** When the real Burrito King comes back to reclaim his restaurant, he now has the power to control beans, with his followers calling him "[[WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender the last beanbender]]" ([[LampshadeHanging though he specifically says]] [[SerialNumbersFiledOff that they're not copying that]]). And then the last page of the comic shows a poster for a [[Film/TheLastAirbender movie adaptation]] of his adventures directed by [[Creator/MNightShyamalan M. Nob Shoobadoo]], whose lead [[TakeThat looks nothing like the original character]].
* The title of Issue 21's story is "Merciless Monday", which is a clear reference to ''Literature/FreakyFriday'', which the issue's story is based on.
** At one point in the same issue, Dib hallucinates a group of mini-[=GIRs=] asking him to "[[Film/TheShining come play with us forever]]".
** The mind-swapping device is called the "Bizmarkian Mind Swapper," an obvious reference to Biz Markie.
* [[WebVideo/{{Vinesauce}} Vinny]] appears in the background of a panel in Issue 36.
* Zim's plan is Issue 37 is clearly based on ''Film/TheMatrix''.
* In Issue 50, both Zim and Dib refer to the former's portal as a [[Franchise/StargateVerse Stargate]].
