Draws on

What the speakers say they, or a film of theirs, drew on. Each is a speaker's account: “the maker said so” when they report the maker's own words, “the host's read” when the read is theirs.

Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy (2004): 1 line

  1. unmapped (title formula) · through Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby (2006), which they were tied to as considered for Cal Naughton: Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy ⇒ Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby (the host's read). The Ballad of Ricky Bobby echoes the Legend of Ron Burgundy naming pattern of the 2006 era.
    “Honestly, that's a 2006 thing is titling movies like this.”
    The Rewatchables · 'Talladega Nights' With Craig Horlbeck, Danny Heifetz, and Danny Kelly · 1:02:38 · Craig Horlbeck (0.40 sure it was them)

Days of Thunder (1990): 1 line

  1. unmapped (parody target) · through Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby (2006), which they were tied to as considered for Cal Naughton: Days of Thunder ⇒ Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby (the host's read). The film is not a direct parody but spoofs movies like Days of Thunder; Reilly was in both.
    “I don't think this movie is like a direct parody of that, but it is parodying movies like Days of Thunder.”
    The Rewatchables · 'Talladega Nights' With Craig Horlbeck, Danny Heifetz, and Danny Kelly · 1:05:52 · Craig Horlbeck (0.50 sure it was them)

Happy Gilmore (1996): 1 line

  1. unmapped (shared gag) · through Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby (2006), which they were tied to as considered for Cal Naughton: Happy Gilmore ⇒ Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby (the host's read). Ricky Bobby signing a woman's chest echoes Happy Gilmore.
    “there's a scene when Ricky Bobby signs a woman's chest and it's exactly like Happy Gilmore when he signs the woman.”

Drawn on by

What the speakers say drew on them or a film of theirs, marked the same way.

Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues (2013): 1 line

  1. unmapped (repeated joke) · through Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby (2006), which they were tied to as considered for Cal Naughton: Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby ⇒ Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues (the host's read). Anchorman 2 recycled the pretending-to-be-blind gag from Talladega's paralyzed scene.
    “And like, that's just the Talladega paralyzed scene.”
    The Rewatchables · 'Talladega Nights' With Craig Horlbeck, Danny Heifetz, and Danny Kelly · 0:21:14 · Danny Heifetz (0.40 sure it was them)

Jay-Z: 1 line

  1. industry (industry) · through Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby (2006), which they were tied to as considered for Cal Naughton: Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby ⇒ Jay-Z (the host's read). A host theorizes the Jay-Z and Beyonce song "Apeshit" (video shot in the Louvre) only exists because this film made "ape shit" a thing.
    “I do not think that Beyonce and Jay-Z make a song called Apeshit without this movie.”
