Listing off references
This is a thread to help list ALL of the references in Octodad. There are lots, and some of them aren't in the grocery store! Maybe check the aquarium...

Total Biscuits
Northernlions Toilet Roll
Pewdie's pies
The lemon achivement has something to do with Adventure Time i think

That's all i can think of off the top of my head.

The name of the soda(Mango Rogel) is a reference to spanish youtuber "Mangel rogel" Which was one of the first spanish players to play the original octodad

I've seen a reference to a game called something like "Tiny big grandpa" or something like that, i don't remember what it was but it was on the grocery store. I've never played that game but i recognized it when i saw it, because i've heard of it alot

White Silla, are you talking about Tiny & Big: Grandpa's Leftovers?
in the grocery store the banana table says seananners on the side.

In the Grocery level's deli section there's a poster stating their motto.

Quality
Workmanship
Over
Prices

QWOP is a flash based game with intentionally awkward controls where you control a runner and control all four ligments of his leg with the buttons Q, W, O, and P. QWOP was obviously a big insipiration for Octodad.

The wrestling poster is also obviously a reference to WCW, but the use of the word "champ"on the world title itself is a reference to John Cena who often refers to himself as such, and his personally designed title belt has Champ written on it in big obnoxious letters.

Also Nasta Astronaut Soda is an obvious reference to NASA, but it has a second easter egg in that when shaken or dropped, the bottles turn into basic rocket propulsion devices.

Can't believe nobody mentions the Pac-Man reference with the cheese in the grocery store.
Stabbed Feb 10, 2014 @ 4:55am 
@Matt, I've been to that level 10 times and never saw Pac-Man cheese. Most people sell cheese in a circular form, so I never thought that was Pac-Man.

One of the devs has stated that there's 33 gaming references in the grocery store level. I'm inclined to believe it. In addition to various shout outs to video makers like TotalBiscuit and PewDiePie, there's also numerous references to games and a couple to cartoons. While scanning the lemon isn't anything, the achievement earned for it is clearly referencing Adventure Time's Earl of Lemongrab.

Also there's a plush on the shelf that looks an awful lot like one Derpy Hooves...

There's also a poster next to the QWOP one which says the following:
Stanley's Pair-o-bowls
and then on smaller text on the bottom says:
Not a reference to thee Stanley parable

Stanley's Pair O Bowls is a refernce. it sounds like stanley parable
I really want to know if Who The Heck Is Chris is a reference to a certain irreverent trivial party game...

@DFS I think it might be You Don't Know Jack.

The VGCW poster is actually a reference to bazza87's Twitch stream, Video Game Championship Wrestling.

The Abazor Action Figure is reference to Cr1tikal's video of the first Octodad game where he calls Tommy that while also making fun of his robot.

The same robot action figure also looks a bit like the Destructoid mascot, Mr. Destructoid.

Organ Trail Mix is a reference to the Oregon Trail games.

Chef Boyer-D is a reference to the Chef Boyardee line of products.

Koala Milk is likely a reference to Coca Cola as it uses the same font.
