Drawn Together Season 3 Episode 8

Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back:

Wooldoor cutting Toot open and using her for warmth is a nod to the second Star Wars film.

Freaks
The people splashing in the pond at the Handicapped Sanctuary resemble Zip and Pip, the actresses that played the "Pinheads" in the classic 1932 movie Freaks.

Hostel:

The basement with all the cartoon characters being tortured is an allusion to the movie Hostel, where rich people could torture someone else for money.

The A-Team:

The Drawn Together gang has a building montage where they take existing junk and build what they, complete with A-Team music.

Let's Make a Deal
Let's Make a Deal was a game show originated by Monty Hall in the '60s where contestants would blindly decide which curtain/box to keep. It has had many versions since then.

Xandir: Spanky, you gave up on imagination and made The Nothing come.
Spanky: They look like big, strong hands, don't they? [looks at his rock arms].
This is a reference to The Neverending Story, where storyland was being eaten away by The Nothing as adults stopped using their imagination. The Rockbiter said Spanky's line in the movie.

Pinocchio:

Captain Hero says to the ventriloquist dummy "I'll make you feel like a real boy."

Star Wars
Clara says "The apprentice has overtaken then master." This is very similar to what Darth Vader says to Obi-Wan when they meet aboard the Death Star.

Invader ZIM
The Hot Topic manager mentioned selling Invader ZIM steering wheel covers. Invader ZIM is a popular series that ran from 2001 to 2002 on Nickelodeon. The show was cancelled and had unaired episodes, however, the show returned and played the remaining episodes in summer 2006 on Nicktoons Network. Hot Topic is known for selling lots of Invader ZIM merchandise.

Wooldoor: Has anybody seen that Greek Wedding movie? I'm thinking about whether or not I want to rent it.
The movie Wooldoor is referring to is the surprise 2003 hit movie My Big Fat Greek Wedding, which later got made into a short-lived T.V. series called My Big Fat Greek Life.

The Lion King
There are four references to the hit 1994 Disney movie in this episode: The song the hobos sing to Xandir is similar to Hakuna Matata, a song in that movie. The scrolling progression that marked Simba's transformation from cub to adult, has been changed to show Xandir's transformation into a hobo. The lion that appears in Xandir's pee to give him a message about responsibility is similar to when Mufasa appeared to Simba telling him to return to the Pride Lands. The hobo's names were Nathan and Ernie. Those names were the first names of the actors Nathan Lane and Ernie Sabella, who played Timon and Pumbaa (who the hobos are supposed to be parodying) in The Lion King movie.

The tortured cartoons include: Fred Flinstone, a Care Bear, Scrappy-Doo, Daria, Popeye and Bluto, Hagar the Horrible, and Davey & Goliath.
