Line 58:
** One of the many spoofs and rip-offs of ''TMNT'' back in the day had a set of rabbits named [[Tex Avery|Avery,]] [[Chuck Jones|Jones,]] [[Bob Clampett|Clampett,]] and [[Friz Freleng|Freleng.]] (Alas, Google is no help to aid the troper's weak memory.)
** Another spoof of TMNT was ''Adolescent Radioactive Black Belt Hamsters'', named after Clint (Eastwood), Chuck (Norris), Bruce (Lee), and Jackie (Chan).
** Yet another parody was from ''[[Tiny Toon Adventures]]'' with the ''Immature Radioactive Samurai Slugs'' who were also named after artists - Picasso, Warhol, Rockwell, and [[Odd Name Out| Grandma Moses]].
* The names of the genetically engineered dogs in ''Kingdom'' are celebrity names with canine puns. The protagonist is named Gene the Hackman (Gene Hackman), and there's also Will Feral (Will Ferrall), Dingo Star (Ringo Star), Rex Horizon (Rex Harrison), Holly the Hunter (Holly Hunter), and Clara Bow (same).
* Amadeus Cho, of ''[[Incredible Hercules]]'', is named after Mozart. His sister Maddy's full name? Madame Curie Cho.
