Oh no another dumb comment:

Maybe a strecth, but the cooking show segment could be a tiny Portal reference. Think about it: a killer robot originally from an underground laboratory entices you to do stuff in reward for cake, but to the player's surprise you were a necessary ingerdient. Not to mention the cake was actually not entirely a lie--the ending cutscene in Portal shows the actual cake somewhere else while Mettaton simply mentions it. Also, both GLaDOS and Mettaton were originally something else. Caroline was uploaded by Cave Johnson, and ghost Metta by Alphys. Difference is Ton-Ton was more willing and reqestiong (I think).

Little less of strecth, but the game show segment reminds me of a Doraemon episode. In the episode, Doraemon takes out a game show style robot to challenge Nobi (that is his name, right?) and his companion. It zaps them similarly to Mettaton if the answer was incorrect. Doraemon then shows them the right answer. The questions were even unusual, but the episode's were more like riddles.
