Total Drama Island/Shout Out

The first season of Total Drama Island is a parody of Reality shows, while the second and third also parodies of films and musicals, respectively. So, it'd be impossible for them not to have their very own Shout-Out page.

Reality shows

 * World Tour has many towards The Amazing Race, the most obvious being the world travel aspect of the show, and that almost every episode has a challenge that include racing to a "finish line".
 * The episode title "The Am-AH-zon Race" is a direct reference to the show title.
 * In "Walk Like an Egyptian - Part 1", racers are given the option of going over or under a pyramid, presented in the exact same way Detours are given on the Race.
 * In several later episodes, team are given tasks for only one team member to perform, which mirrors Roadblock on the Race.
 * Both challenges from "Walk Like an Egyptian - Part 2" (the camel race and boat building) were lifted from different seasons of the Race.
 * The statue assembly challenge from "Can't Help Falling In Louvre" was originally a Roadblock on Season 9 of the Race.
 * In "Niagara Brawls", players are split into teams of two. Later, they're tasked with crossing a high wire over Niagara Falls, another frequent Race challenge.
 * Owen's jump on the first challenge of season one is a reference to Survivor: The Australian Outback, when one contestant overcame his fear of heights to jump off a cliff, giving his tribe the victory.
 * Another shout out to Survivor happened with Alejandro being turned into a ratings machine - Survivor had one of those, his name was Russel Hantz - and if you watched Samoa, you'd think the cast consists of just Russell Hantz and nobody else. And in Heroes vs. Villains, it consisted of Russell, Parvati, and Boston Rob.
 * An episode was called "Phobia Factor", in tribute to "Fear Factor"
 * "Wawanakwa Gone Wild!" is a reference to "E! gone Wild" shows.
 * Blaineley apparently hosted The Puppy Bachlorette.
 * Team Victory and their abysmal record is likely a reference to the infamous Ulong tribe in Survivor.
 * The second episode of Revenge has a challenge reminiscent of Wipeout.

Movies
"Chris: The first rule of dodgeball is-

 * -Season Finale Spoiler-
 * In "Runaway Model", Anne Maria pokes fun at Zoey's hair, calling her pigtails Princess Leia buns; however, Zoey compares her hair to Queen Amidala's.

 * To Fight Club:

Noah: (amused) Do not talk about Dodgeball?"

"Chris: "So long, farewell, Auf Wiedersehen!""
 * To Romy And Michelle's High School Reunion (Almost verbatim to the conversation Katie and Sadie have in the confessional)
 * Heather's aforementioned evil little brother Damien references Damien Thorne from The Omen.
 * Harold's entire character is a Shout-Out to Napoleon Dynamite. Heck, the final episode of TDA had him asking  to draw a picture of an imaginary animal to win his vote.
 * Also, Napoleon's older brother has a black girlfriend named Lafawnduh. Does that sound familiar somehow?
 * Lindsay's called her Lafawnduh a couple times.
 * Chris's farewell to LeShawna in Slap Slap Revolution references both The Sound of Music and Project Runway


 * ET the Extraterrestrial and The Dark Knight in the Area 51 episode
 * "Don't probe me, bro!"
 * (Y'know, just in case you didn't get the point already).
 * It is pretty much guaranteed that there will be a lot of Misery references, thanks to Sierra's obsession with Cody
 * This didn't happen. At least, not in third season.
 * Chef's Replacement Pilot is a clear one to Airplane!.
 * Owen seeing Ezekiel on the wing of the Jet is an obvious one to the The Twilight Zone episode, "Nightmare at 20,000 Feet".
 * Lindsay sports a Little Black Dress and hairstyle similar to Holly Golightly from Breakfast at Tiffany's in musical number in "Broadway Baby".
 * The leg lamp from A Christmas Story shows up in the pirate treasure episode as a prize.
 * In "Grand Chef Auto", Duncan makes his cameo constrained a la Hannibal Lecter in The Silence of the Lambs.

Music and Musicals

 * Some of the episodes are named after music:
 * The episode titled "Newf Kids on the Rock" is a reference to "New Kids on the Block"
 * "No pain, No game" to "No Pain, No Gain" by the Scorpions.
 * "Search and Do Not Destroy" to "Seek and Destroy" by Metallica.

 * in the World Tour episode where they go to Sweden.
 * Blainerific looks a lot like Fergalicious.
 * in the semifinal episode.

General
"Owen: I'm not really a strong swimmer..."
 * To 6teen (Ronita the Rent-A-Cop)
 * Also, in Dial M for Merger, they parody the intro to 6teen.
 * In World Tour, Lindsey mentions the Khaki Barn, a store on 6teen.
 * Wawanakwa Gone Wild, the raccoon mecha references Transformers. Duncan even utters the Transformers mantra: "That's more than meets the eye."
 * When Heather  we get a reaction shot of a squirrel played just like the dramatic chipmunk.
 * The Total Drama Action episode "Crouching Courtney Hidden Owen" had one to Mortal Kombat character Raiden.
 * In the TDA episode "Ocean's Eight - or Nine," when Owen smells chicken scented perfume coming from outside his cell, his eyes turn green and he goes, "People shouldn't make me hungry! You wouldn't like me when I'm hungry!"
 * To Saturday Night Live, of all things (specifically the Synchrnoized Swimmers episodes) in the second episode:

"Noah: (as contestants face three different tunnels) Oh great. Our friendly neighborhood host-dude failed to mention there were different paths."
 * To Spider-Man in the first episode of World Tour.


 * The expression Tyler makes after his Dream Sequence in, "The Big Sleep" is a slightly obscure shout-out to the painting, "The Scream."
 * During the third TDA aftermath, the boy in the webcam has a Halo poster
 * Scooby Doo in the London episode
 * Slap Slap Revolution is a clear Expy of Dance Dance Revolution.
 * Owen's mantra of, "Al, Al, Al, Al, Al!" in, "Anything Yukon Do, I Can Do Better" may be a reference to this video.
 * In the finale of Total Drama World Tour they give Sierra (who lost her hair in an explosion) a wheelchair and a mohawk.
 * It makes even more sense when you realise that Sierra is a Take That against "Original" Characters made by Cody fangirls.
 * "Grand Chef Auto" is one to Grand Theft Auto, particularly San Andreas, where the campers had to steal Chef's prized go karts and race to graffiti tag three landmarks.
