References, how about the myriad of 40's and 50's references from Peacock?

Sayings:
"Of course you realize, this means war."- Looney Tunes. Most famous due to it begin from Daffy Duck when Bugs would outsmart him or if he was outsmarted by another character.

"I will gladly pay you Tuesday for a ham sammich today." - Wimpy from Popeye (original saying "I will gladly pay you Tuesday for a hamburger today.")

"Goes down smooth." - reference to a cigarette advertisement, atm I don't remember what brand or if it's even from the 40's or 50's. My guess is neither decade.

Animations:
HK animation- reference to the famous Charlie Brown scene where Lucy always yanks the football from Charlie Brown before he kicks it. In fact one of her sayings with this animation is "Good grief."

MK animation- reference to slapstick comedy (g.e. the three stooges, Tom and Jerry) the loose floorboard or rake that often hits the person stepping on it or the person next to it.

MP animation- the infamous pie gag used from Looney Tunes, Tom and Jerry, The Three Stooges etc. the pie was often thrown into the face of an individual for comedic value.

LK animation- reference to classic cartoons (g.e. Tex Avery, Looney Tunes, Tom and Jerry etc.) the eyes would often pop for dramatic effect. Famously used with guys when they see a very attractive woman. Or with Tom for the realization of impending harm or danger.

Pallettes

In particular only one strikes me, I believe it is number 8 where she is grayscale. This references the original cartoons and movies from the early 40's and 50's. Ranging all the way from Popeye to Disney.

There are probably hundreds of references to other games, movies, cartoons and anime in Skullgirls. Off the top of my head:

The "Real Circus Damage" trophy is a reference to Mike Z's strategy video for Tager (Real Soviet Damage)
Filia's victory pose is a reminiscent of Ryu's victory pose
Peacock's Argus Agony attack looks like one of the enemies from one of the Mega Man X4 (I think)
Peacock's robot helper thing Avery is a reference to Tex Avery, a famous cartoonist
Cerebella says "I'm gonna take you for a ride," a reference to Marvel vs. Capcom 2's character select screen
Filia's Gregor Samson attack is a reference to Franz Kafka's short story "The Metamorphosis"
Peacock intro line when fighting Valentine is "Heeeeelloooo nurse!" a reference to Animaniacs.

I thought Peacock was so filled with reference to mobster cartoon like mentality that is wasn't worth mentioning (since her character description says it all) but you know what, it was nice to realize what they all were. I also forgot the hello nurse call which is hilarious. This game is super fun and these little references make it better!

Found a new one with Double. When she states "A miserable little pile of secrets." at the end of a match, that is a reference to Castlevania: Symphony of the Night. Dracula says this the first time you face him with Richter.

This is also funny considering that the composer for the soundtrack to this game is the same one that did Symphony of the Night, Michiru Yamane.

She actually can say the whole thing, since one of here intro quotes is "What is a man?" while one of her victory quotes is "A miserable little pile of secrets".

That explains why this game's soundtrack sounded like SOTN's soundtrack, and why I love the soundtrack so much.

Also, Valentine's knives super is similar to the same Jojo's character (Dio) posted earlier. Then again, it could be a reference to Sakuya in any of the Touhou fighting games, or some other fighting game character I dont know about . I'm just going with Dio because his signature "steamroller" move already appears.

Meme trash talk reference:

Matchup between Cerebella and Ms. Fortune.

Cerebella: "I can has cheeseburger?"

Ms. Fortune: "That's Racist!"

God I cracked up laughing at that one.

[SpaceshipMcFly]

@Arcade: Yeah that's more or less what I meant lol
They had a surplus, so they held on to some for later

On topic:

Fortune can say "Can I HAVE a cheeseburger?"
One of Peacock's intro's for VS Filia is "Maybe she's born with it", a reference to a shampoo slogan from the 90's, the other half of the quote is "Maybe its Maybelline [the product name]"

A couple more I noticed...
The Double character trophy, "Toil and Trouble," is a reference to MacBeth, Act 4, Scene 1.
During Parasoul's Silent Scope blockbuster she says "Ready, number 13." This is probably a reference to anime classic Golgo13
Ms. Fortune's Fiber Uppercut is a reference to Sagat's Tiger Uppercut.
When Marie summons ghosts/skeletons/dragon-skeleton-things she sometimes says "Rise from your grave." Altered Beast reference.

I only got the last one until you pointed them out. Great finds. Now I love Parasoul even more just for the Golgo 13 reference.
