* In a bit of SelfDeprecation, they open the eighth season remake of "Cloudy... with a Chance of Murder" by having Shawn and Gus discussing remakes, in which they pan ''Film/TheDukesOfHazzard'', especially that race-car driver, played by Creator/JamesRoday.

Added DiffLines:

* Shawn walks up to a police department desk, then identifies himself as a psychic, saying he's like ''Series/TheMentalist'' only [[HypocriticalHumor not fake]], and declaring that if he was fake, it would be a virtual carbon copy[[note]]For the record, ''Psych'' predates ''Series/TheMentalist'' by more than a year, implying that ''Series/TheMentalist'' was at least a little bit of a case of FollowTheLeader[[/note]]. Other episodes indicate that Shawn is a fan of the show.
* Also, the killer in "Let's Get Hairy" is named after [[spoiler:Ken Tucker]], a TV critic for [[spoiler:Entertainment Weekly magazine]], who has criticized the show in the past.
* In "Shawn vs. The Red Phantom" Shawn and Gus meet a disgruntled comic book writer who's recently had a movie totally destroy his character's reputation. We aren't given details, but [[Film/BatmanAndRobin it's mentioned that the director added large nipples to the character's outfit.]]
* Done in "Daredevils" at the later ''Film/DieHard'' sequels:
--> '''Shawn''': "I'm Die Hard. He's die harder. We have two other guys in our crew, but they're not nearly as good as us."
* "What is the deal with Series/OneTreeHill? It's like a poorly executed ''Series/DawsonsCreek''."
* "I think CGI has ruined movie story telling for all of us. I don't wanna say it's completely Creator/MichaelBay's fault, but that guy needs to be stopped because it's all his fault."
* Someone on the writing team clearly has something against Creator/ChadMichaelMurray.
* The episode "Juliet Takes a Luvvah" includes a very obvious one at ''Series/DontTrustTheBInApartment23'':
--> '''Shawn''': Don't be the B in Apartment 23! You're better than that! We're all better than that! At least I think we are!
* "Juliet Takes a Luvvah" also contains another dig at their favorite target ''Series/TheMentalist'' when talking about Juliet's online dating profile:
--> '''Tech guy''': I mean who lists The Mentalist as one of their favorite TV shows?
** Then the show goes out of its way to ''make fun'' of the show's tendency to berate ''Series/TheMentalist''.
--> '''Shawn:''' Why would you say that?
--> '''Tech guy:''' I- I don't know. It just felt like the thing to say.
--> '''Shawn:''' What do you have against Series/TheMentalist?
--> '''Tech guy:''' I don't know, I've never watched it.
* In ''Lassie Jerky'':
--> '''Shawn:''' You know, Gus and I thought about [going to live in the forest away from humanity] after watching ''Film/TheVillage'', but then we didn't because that movie was horrible.
* In a bit of SelfDeprecation, they open the eighth season remake of "Cloudy... with a Chance of Murder" by having Shawn and Gus discussing remakes, in which they pan ''Film/TheDukesOfHazzard'', especially that race-car driver, played by James Roday.
