I only get the one with the blue police box, although I've never watched Dr. Who. I think I'm possibly too young for the others? Or maybe just not into these kinds of things...

And before you shake your head and tsk, remember - I'm old. My cultural absorption dropped off drastically about 20 - 25 years ago.

In order:
(click to show/hide)Blue Police box — Doctor Who. Now so iconically the Doctor's conveyance that the BBC now owns the trademark, rather than the police.
Ally & Lisa — probably Sunstone, a (BDSM-centric) webcomic
Electric Sheep — PK Dick's novel/Blade Runner (the film based on the same story)
Cheyenne Mountain — either WarGames (the movie with a young Ally Sheedy in spandex) or Stargate as both top secret scifi projects were housed there
'69 Dodge charger — Dukes of Hazzard (the General Lee was one)
Robot Devil — Futurama
M. Creosote — the exploding fat guy from Monty Python. Also the source of much hilarity regarding wafer thin mints, for the same reason.

More specifically, the drums the girl in the middle and the guy on the right are playing are djembes. The guy with a green shirt is playing bongos and the person off-panel on the left is playing claves.
Method of Madness:

Is such a policy legal in Japan?

In one of the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy books, Marvin says that he "tries to count electric sheep", so it could be that too.
