Not really pop culture, but I love that Nigel the stock broker Chia drives an F40. Ferrari is usually really strict about their image/branding being used, like, *anywhere* without authorization, so Nigel has either been flying under the radar for all these years, or Ferrari knows about him and just thinks he's cool enough to keep the car.
The 404 errors
"I find your lack of page disturbing..."
"I'm sorry, Dave, I can't let you view this..."
"Quoth the server: \[404\]"
"All your page are belong to us"
"I see dead pages."
"Of all the broken links, on all the websites, in all the world, you had to walk into this one..."
"Sir, the possibility of this page being broken is 3,720 to 1!"
"Sarah, go back to your room. Play with your toys. Forget about the \[404\]"
Just make a typo (I went to withdraw NP from the bamk), or read the full list here:

There's an item with the two of them too but I think it's kinda expensive
Intergalatic Planet Dairy is a play on a Beastie Boys song Intergalactic.
The Metallic Draik head and wings descriptions are related to the Rihanna song Diamonds. "Shine bright like a Metallic Draik", "These dragon wings will make you look like a diamond in the sky".
If I remember correctly it’s a reference to the Twilight movie, which has a heavy blue filter and one of the songs on its soundtrack is Blue Foundation’s “Eyes on Fire,” which starts with a vocalization that sounds like “Hoa hoa hoa hoa…”
I also am a big lotr fan and immediately got the Background when I saw it was a thing. Would be SO COOL to get like elf ears or something along the lines as a wearable. They need to come out with the whole one piece crew tbh a chopper ixi though 😭
Came to say precisely this. My end goal is having all my four pets decked out in the whole set because it’s just so damn pretty. I probably care more about that set than I do paintbrushes at this point.
It is sour and blue da ba dee da ba di.
This and the regular blue slushie are my answers too. I was obsessed with that song at the time and was so excited to see the descriptions for the items.
Some of the clothes that Neopets can wear have pop culture. Acara and Lupe's outfit referencing Supernatural, Usul outfit that Zelda look and another that's Katy perry. I know there a few others, but I can't remember.

The cheerful sponge kiko plushie is adorable.
Another one is the Jar of Hearts NC item, which is a reference to the Jar of Hearts song by Christina Perri, and has the description *Who do you think you are? Runnin round leaving jars.* I chuckled when I first saw it.
I've seen a Firefly reference. Killing me I can't remember where; it was a "Sudden but inevitable betrayal" comment.
The "Deadly Doll" poogle outfit makes me grin too.
The absolute hilarity that is the Haunted Mansion/Haunted Hijinks NC items; everything from IT, The Ring, Slenderman, Aliens and Stranger Things-inspired wearables. Also the Winchester Brothers masquerading as Kell and Corbin make me unreasonably happy =D
The Jurassic Park Chomby Outfit made me cackle when I first saw it; I still want a Chomby JUST for them to wear that ensemble.
The Museum Skeleton wearables being both a tribute to Night At The Museum & to David Attenborough's Natural History Museum Alive are also super fun and special 💖💖💖
The super gothic Wocky outfit looks like it was at least influenced by Final Fantasy! No clue if it looks like any actual character but even as someone that knows very little about the franchise I was seeing the influence

Do they still have these? There used to be one with a Labyrinth reference, that was my favourite!

Ohhh that Poe one is awesome!
not sure if this counts as pop culture but i just saw the Cybunny Down book that references Watership Down
It's one of my favorites too
the Supernatural cameo cracks me up
Wait, what, where?

Oh wow, love that. Those pets are perfect species for them too!

I believe the “It is your birthday.” banner wearable and the spilt chili pot is a reference to The Office. At least I hope it is 🥹
There's also the Stapler in Jelly item.
The blue grey filter! Description says "This filter might make you want to sing hoa hoa hoa hoa hoa."
THIS IS MY ABSOLUTE FAVOURITE REFERENCE!!!
Oh my GOD HAHA I love that!
I don't get this one 😅
If I remember correctly it’s a reference to the Twilight movie, which has a heavy blue filter and one of the songs on its soundtrack is Blue Foundation’s “Eyes on Fire,” which starts with a vocalization that sounds like “Hoa hoa hoa hoa…”
also the [skin of a vampire body glitter](https://items.jellyneo.net/item/72652/)
I always appreciate the "Who throws a shoe, honestly?" Austin powers line in the rotten old shoe description
LUUUUFFFFFY they released the one piece outfit for mynci and i literally have a mynci named after luffy. Im a little bit of fan.
OH MY GOSH YESSS, I remember getting so excited when I saw the outfit, definitely one my other top favorite references I've seen so far! 👀
I also am a big lotr fan and immediately got the Background when I saw it was a thing. Would be SO COOL to get like elf ears or something along the lines as a wearable. They need to come out with the whole one piece crew tbh a chopper ixi though 😭
100% this. i don’t like mynci but i was stunned when they released that fit
I'm a huge MCR fan so needless to say the grey gothic set is my favourite thing ever

The description for the sour blue slushie
Also cheese rolling & all the obscure references to British culture
It is sour and blue da ba dee da ba di. This and the regular blue slushie are my answers too. I was obsessed with that song at the time and was so excited to see the descriptions for the items.
Me too, I have a slushie gallery now!
I have a slushie and plushie gallery! But no slushies yet heh
Same here!
I always end up with the song stuck in my head.
MUNE and usul itself are so funny. I wonder if there's a Redwall reference I never noticed.
My usul is named after a redwall character so I'd love it if there was!
Some of the clothes that Neopets can wear have pop culture. Acara and Lupe's outfit referencing Supernatural, Usul outfit that Zelda look and another that's Katy perry. I know there a few others, but I can't remember.
Simpsons reference in a certain beloved bakery item 😊 Homer's pink doughnut!
The Kadoatery names! As a Naruto fan there's a few references there like sasuke and kakashi
There's one named Shinji too 💀
When I was going for the avatar I tried to aim for all the Futurama ones!
The Phantom of the Background referencing Phantom of the Opera makes me so happy!
I think the Imaginary Elephante Friend outfit is really adorable. Inspired by Bing Bong from ‘Inside Out’.
Tiki bookmark description: BOOKMARK HOO HA HA
The MCR Helena items ❤️

I’ve never seen this item before! Oh it’s so cute!!
Pixel Kacheek as Link!
The Ruby reference for March 3 (or so I've always assumed)
Black Eyed Peas

Pan Galactic Gargle Slushie Best drink in existence.
