Era of References

A period of time between 1987 to 2000 where most Television media, specifically comedies, used references as a sense of humor, notably comedies on NBC had this in mind. The shows have a huge audience for people without internet access and have never had an interest in newer comedies.
Guy 1: Seinfeld is an Era of References show, for example, the episode "The Scofflaw" has Kramer in an eyepatch, referencing Nick Fury from the Avengers.

Guy 2: Oh, and is Friends an Era of References show?

Guy 1: Yes, in the episode "The One With The Breast Milk", Joey is in a Cowboy outfit, referencing The Lone Ranger.

Reference-ception

When someone references something, and someone else replies by referencing the response to the thing the other person was referencing.
Matt, I am your father
No, that's impossible!
Did you just respond with a reference to the reference?
Yeah, reference-ception!
