Absolutely. The man is ridiculously talented. Now we just need to get some company to buy his character designs and make a cartoon.

You can at least rest safe in the knowledge the characters in the Wii version of the game are inspired by Dapper Dan's designs.

In the movie “They Live” the aliens(or whatever creatures the bad guys in the movie were) uses a device that looks exactly like the PKE meter to track down the heroes.

They interviewed Lance What's-his-name (his last name escapes me at this moment) from the Chicago Bears on ABC7's Two-Minute Warning segment they have every Friday. One of the questions was, "Who starred in Ghostbusters?" And he rattled off their names–starting with Bill Murray, naturally–and even broke into a little bit of the theme song! Cool, eh?

Who woulda thought. TV was on downstairs and as I was heading back upstairs I heard the words “Who Ya Gonna Call? Ghostbusters” so I went down to investigate.
Ghostbusters was just featured on Merv Griffin's Crosswords.
“It's what Ex-Professors Stantz, Spengler and Venkman became in 1984”
Unfortunately the woman didn't know the answer.

I was thinking about the Muppet Babies/GB references
Any videos of the above episodes?
The Muppet Babies used clips from the movie on several occasions, notably, the first season episode “Good Clean Fun.” The Stay-Puft Marshmallow Man is spoofed as “The Piggy Dough Girl.”
Muppet Magazine issue 10 featured a comic spoof called “Grossbusters.”
In episode 206 of Muppets Tonight, in order to rid the studio of the berserk Robot Abe Lincoln, Dr. Bunsen Honeydew and Beaker don exterminator outfits and backpacks that resemble Ghostbusting gear. It's unknown whether or not this was intentional.
Any videos of the above episodes?

*There was also two episodes of the late-80's answer to the ‘70’s "Muppet Show“, called ”The Jim Henson Hour“ that unintentionally gave nods to GB…
*One featured Fozzie, in a ”Bear-On-The-Street" deal, and over his left shoulder, in the background was a HUGE billboard with just the GBII logo on black, just above the highway …
*The other featured “Muppet Television's” HQ being invaded by “Trash Monsters”, and in the end of the episode, the studio's one-an-only robotic friend-and-ally “Digit” fought them off wearing a Kenner RGB proton pack, flipped upside-down and spray painted silver …
*Cheers.

Not so much a direct reference but…
In the Halloween episode of the new Knight Rider series (yeah, I'm just now getting around to watching it off of Tivo), Mike is pulling a joke on the rest of the crew and mentions a special code name. When decrypted it means Samhain which Billy, the nerd tech, explains is the spirit of Halloween.
