Figurative Meanings

As I danced across the gym floor, I saw James smiling and walking in my direction. He walked up to me and whispered something in my ear, but since the music was so loud, I couldn't hear him. When I asked James to repeat himself, he screamed, "Hey, Napoleon Dynamite, If you're going to dance like that, you should be wearing a 'Vote for Pedro' t-shirt!"

Allusion  is when a person or author makes an indirect reference in speech, text, or song to an event or figure. Often the allusion made are to past events or figures, but sometimes allusions are made to current famous people or events.
 I think that the passage is an example of allusion.
