>>106487727If they consider references humor, then by all means add some fucking variety. Seeing someone go super saiyan or the Evangelion landscape hasn't been humorous in awhile, arguably at all. It doesn't have to be a Conan reference, anything other than tentacles hmmm and spiky hair tier shit would do just fine.
That said, references are no substitute for humor, I'd prefer if anime shit died off in western media but it wont because the people making it now are the girls who grew up with magical girl stuff and are into anime binge watching while making webcomics about them doing that exact stuff. Any other time its a dumb executive adding in Goku in a car commercial saying "kame hame kia no down payments."
