Well, I'm only a casual fan of Chuck myself (haven't watched all of the last season either, oops), but the main character (Chuck) has been plugged into/made into an Intersect, where he can "search" his brain for almost anything. Like become a kung-fu fighter at a moment's notice, or know random facts.
That's really the only "gadget" sort of thing I can think of, but perhaps someone who is more up on the show will pipe up.
And now I'm wondering if I'm not getting mixed up with the part in the Matrix where Keanu Reeves goes "I know kung-fu," but it's sort of the same thing in Chuck.
Awesome! You guys are amazing! I should be able to use all this. He thinks Sarah is very pretty, so I might get her to give him the brain upload thing, and the car quote is perfect. Thank you!!!
The guys in the show enjoyed a good footlong, to the point that fans ended up doing a "Save Chuck" campaign midway through the series that involved buying a lot of Subway sandwiches. Later Subway ended up being a sponsor of the show to the point that the product placement got pretty gratuitous, though it did keep the series on the air, I guess...and still wasn't quite as blatant as Community's actually naming a character Subway.
Oh! "don't freak out" is something Sarah often said to Chuck. They also had "the castle" which is what they used to refer to their homebase. Bryce Larkin is the guy who gave him the intersect in the first place. Sarah was also in the C.A.T. (Clandestine Attack Team) Squad.
References could include shopping at Buy More, or Large Mart, grabbing a snack at Orange Orange, food from Weinerlicious, visiting Germany and finding the new Jeffster album.
I once snuck in a Chuck reference by having my main character drop out of Stanford's engineering program to be come a chef after all that weird stuff happened with his frat brothers (Chuck getting kicked out thanks to Bryce Larkin). Not sure if anyone got that one though.
Anytime. XD I see someone above mentioned Subway sandwiches. The joke there, is when the fans decided to save the show from cancellation they did it by buying subs at Subway. The show responded by putting in gratuitous references to the restaurent in pretty much every episode.
If you wanted to sneak in a Chuck reference, an injoke way to do it would be to have your characters constantly talking about wanting to eat at Subway, and going into detail about the sandwiches.

"Stay in the car!" is a good one that is oft used in Season 1 and 2.
"I know kung-fu!" I'd another good one.
Alternatively you could include a reference to the Intersect project...
