Namedrops abound on Glee. More often than not, a famous person's name is used as an insult to take someone down a peg or two — and that's something that we can completely support! To help you keep it all straight, we've compiled a list of the namedrops and pop culture references deemed important enough to make it into the mouths of the Glee characters in Episode 2.9. Did you catch them all?

Emma (to Will): Just seeing the Rocky Horror thing reminded me of how much talent you’ve got in glee club.

Rachel (to Will): Ken and Barbie? Are you trying to throw this?

Santana (to Rachel): It means that your boyfriend is full of crap, hobbit.

Santana: That’s right, Yentl. Your sweetheart — he’s been lying to you, ‘cause he and I totally got it on last year.

Warbler: Kurt, meet Pavarotti.

Kurt: I think we should open with “Rio” by Duran Duran.

Emma: I’m pretty sure there’s some Eagles songs.

Brittany: I know I’m more talented than all of you — Britney Spears taught me that.

Puck: I want to talk to you guys about Bruce Springsteen.

Puck (to Karofsky): You forced my boy Kurt out of here, and — juvie or no — you’re already number one on my list to go all Death Star on.

Bruce Springsteen Enjoys A Pensive Moment
Puck: So Bruce is destined to go blue-collar his whole life, but instead he goes and buys an old Strat from a pawn shop and just starts whaling on it, starts putting all the pain and the promises and the dreams into that music, and the next thing he knows, he’s on the cover of Time and Newsweek in the same week.

Lauren: Here are my conditions: a carton of Cadbury eggs — good luck finding them, they’re not in season — and I want seven minutes in heaven with you.

Puck: Look — after six hours in that Porta-John, Ozzy himself would have turned to God.

Artie: Not really — it’s Shark Week.

Tina: I kissed him, and it tasted like Lip Smackers.

Kurt: I’ve been sitting in my car for over an hour, waiting for Karofsky to make a Mickey-D’s run.

Kurt: I’ve settled on Celine Dion’s classic, “My Heart Will Go On.”

Rachel: Then go down to 7-Eleven and get some — I need Raisinets!

Brittany: Is this like a Mad Lib or something?
