Mentions

 * In the second season episode "Sock Opera", when Dipper possesses a sock puppet in his likeness, Mabel comments that he looks funny when he's mad, causing him to make an angry expression similar to Kermit the Frog's. The end credits features a brief live-action sequence depicting the characters as puppets. Grunkle Stan and Old Man McGucket are shown watching the show in a balcony and commentating à la Statler and Waldorf.


 * In the short "Mabel's Guide to Fashion", Mabel makes over Soos to look like Jareth.


 * In a Nerdist writer's panel podcast, creator Alex Hirsch revealed an abandoned story idea for an episode that would have parodied Labyrinth featuring Dipper as the brother who was stolen, and Mabel as the reluctant sister who would rather hang out with the "Groblin" King. It would have begun with Mabel watching a Labyrinth-like movie for the nth time, and Dipper complaining about it so much that she wishes him away. Dipper would eventually reveal the reason why he hates the movie is because he's terrified of puppets. The episode went unproduced because Disney Channel executives didn't think anyone would understand the reference.
