Talk:Cultural references to the Doctor Who universe

2.2 Updated with new information
Something to add to the page: in the (non-collectible) card game "Killer Bunnies and the Conquest of the Magic Carrot" the Violet Expansion has a specialty bunny "Who Bunny", modeled after the tenth doctor. (Card #992) 69.17.172.34talk to me 00:22, April 9, 2013 (UTC)

Phone box
Are we sure that the Sonny With a Chance and Suite Life of Zack and Cody examples are references to DW? Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure also features a time travelling phone box. It could just as likely be referring to that.

Trollied
To add to the article- in the TV show "Trollied", season 4 episode 1 around 8 minutes into the episode a conversation occurs between Margaret and Brian the Pharmacist. Brian says "I can save 300 lives a day at this counter. A doctor saves what; four, five tops; then goes for a round of golf- they're lazy." Then Margaret says "Well what about Doctor Who he doesn't seem lazy." Brian says "Time Lord. Not a real doctor."

Images
I suggest that we remove any images where the reference isn't clear at once glance. If the Easter Egg is that there's very small text that reads "pat troughton," we shouldn't have an image of it. OS25 (Talk) 18:31, May 19, 2017 (UTC)

Out-of universe references
I don’t understand the need for this section. In what way do the references listed there differ from all the others on this page? TheFatPanda ☎  20:54, April 6, 2019 (UTC)
 * The page needs a lot of reordering of information, but I think that the basic idea was that the "out-of-universe" sections are for references to Doctor Who as a work of fiction within the story that's alluding to it, whereas the non-"out-of-universe" sections are for "sneaky crossovers" — i.e. the Fourth Doctor showing up on The Simpsons or a robot looking suspiciously like a Dalek. In other words, if the characters know they're referencing Doctor Who, it's "out-of-universe"; if only the audience gets it, it's not.


 * But yeah, again, this classification appears to not have been respected at all when push came to shove. --Scrooge MacDuck ☎  18:47, June 15, 2019 (UTC)
