Pop culture references are essentially one giant communal joke that everyone is in on. MaraPets is no exception to this, having various stuff on the site pay homage to varied elements of pop culture. From the obvious to the obscure, these Maradans have something for everyone.
Unless the joke is otherwise explained, reference links will take you to the related Wikipedia/Fandom page.
