Community is a show which references a lot of pop culture from the past and present. Pop culture references are recurring themes within the show used often by Abed through his obsession with TV and movies. They are direct references to people, places, and things within the culture as opposed to meta references which are often references that are hinted at and alluded to but not directly stated. On the episode pages of the Community Wiki, the references are divided into specific categories and are given a brief description along with examples from various episodes.
