They mention a character Charlie, unicorns, and a candy place. I don’t know why they are being so careful to avoid accusations of stealing the author’s work, because that’s exactly what they’re doing. People who are familiar with Charlie the unicorn are supposed to recognize it here, and spend their money on Warner Bros merchandise. How could you possibly not see this as theft?
No they aren’t, but they directly used audio from it.
There’s a difference between WoW having a character named Harrison Jones who’s largely a parody of Indiana Jones who’s quests are archaeology based and kinda silly. It’s another thing entirely if they used repurposed clips from Raiders of the Lost Ark for his voicelines.
Actually, not necessarily. Plagiarism is not interchangeable with copyright infringement. Plagiarism is specifically academic misconduct.
Those videos that upload an entire movie to YouTube and put “no copyright infringement intended” in the description are not committing plagiarism, because they are being honest about how the content they are using is not their own. But they are committing copyright infringement.
Likewise, you can do plagiarism while not doing copyright infringement, if you take something that is public domain and use it in your research paper without explaining where you got it. It’s public domain, so there’s nothing legally wrong there. But it’s academically dishonest.

Are pop culture references theft? No.

Mere references aren’t plagiarism, idiot.
They’re … selling his content without his permission
Oh my god are you stupid? Can you read??? Someone help this poor fool! He’s engaging in debate and has no ability to keep up!
Trolling should be more subtle
Just because you don’t like it doesn’t mean it’s trolling. Trolling implies that I wanted your response. I don’t.
