Well, cultural references is kinda what defines Gumball. So I kind of think that's mandatory. And yes, there were references in The Choices. For example, the whole filmstrip memory thing was a reference to the Pixar movie Up, Mr. Senicourt looks like the popular internet meme Grumpy Cat and Nicole going insane was a reference to Psycho.

And yes, we all hope for more Darwin and Carrie moments. I even hope they add depth into it.
