Probably the 'pop star' stereotype. Britney Britney, from FOP, anyone?

Yeah, but I'm pretty sure all weren't directly Britney Spears spoofs.

Yeah, Star Wars is probably the most referenced film ever. I ended up knowing about the whole plot about the movie because of all the parodies before I actually watched it.

In the early 00's, it was Matrix "bullet time" spoofs everywhere (Osmosis Jones, Jackie Chan Adventures, ect.).

I'd say The Wizard of Oz is pretty high up that list too.

I'm surprised that no one has mentioned Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol yet. That book has been parodied by a great deal many TV shows and movies.

Okay, this is the list of all the things I can think of that are parodied/referenced all the time starting with what's been mentioned here:
Star Wars
Indiana Jones (boulder thing)
Jaws (mostly just the signature score)
Matrix slow-motion stuff
The Wizard of Oz, usually involving a black and white beginning scene
A Christmas Carol
Citizen Kane (Rosebud is used a lot)
Willy Wonka
The Godfather
Harry Potter
Lord of the Rings (my precious)
Superhero comics/movies in general
The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly (most "western episodes" will have a reference to this somewhere)
Psycho (the music)
It's a Wonderful Life
Saving Private Ryan (a lot of action spoofs will parody the shaky-cam)
The Sixth Sense (usually with someone yelling a spoiler... I've never even seen this movie and I know the ending because of all the references to it)
Scarface ("say hello to my little friend" is everywhere)
Most anything by William Shakespeare, but mostly Romeo & Juilet, Hamlet, and Macbeth
Popular horror icons: Frankenstein, Dracula, etc
Planet of the Apes (especially the ending)
James Bond
Rocky ("you talkin' to me?")
Star Trek
Pokemon (at least it used to be parodied all the time)
There's probably a million others. It seems like references have become a substitute for jokes in recent years.

I find it odd that most people parody that out of the entire series. I know he's famous for it, but I wish they'd try to do a more (how do I put it) original parody... :shrug:
