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.

-
unmapped (title formula) · through Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby (2006), which they scored:
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.

-
unmapped (parody target) · through Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby (2006), which they scored:
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
-
unmapped (shared gag) · through Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby (2006), which they scored:
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.”

Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues (2013): 1 line
-
unmapped (repeated joke) · through Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby (2006), which they scored:
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.”

Jay-Z: 1 line
-
industry (industry) · through Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby (2006), which they scored:
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.”
