 * When the girls go into space, the Blue Danube Waltz accompanies them, a la 2001.
 * "Sex and the Daten City" has the film being directed by David Shyamalan. The dub changed it to Roman Polanski.
 * The male actor in Panty's sex tape from this episode looks very familiar when you think about it.

 * When the ghost releases smaller monsters, the sound effect is identical to the one used by Poké Balls.

05-B "Vomiting Point"
The title is a reference to Vanishing Point
 * The episode could be a reference to the Powerpuff Girls episode "Town and Out" (which had the girls moving to a much more realistic city).
 * Also, the Art Shift has been compared to the styles of both Satoshi Kon and Studio 4C. In reality, the episode was referencing something much more obscure - Shinya Ohira's episode of The Hakkenden, which angered many fans as a result of its realistic, "ugly" aesthetics and loose style. This reaction mirrored the one that fans had while watching Osamu Kobayashi's episode of Gurren Lagann, episode 4, and this episode could easily be seen as an attempt to create a similar reaction.

 * The Demon Sister's In the Name of The Moon speech sounds eerily similar to Team Rocket's, with Fastener even filling Meowth's Roll.

07-A "Transwhoremers"
The title is a reference to Transformers.
 * The whole episode is a huge shout out to Transformers, of all things. Mostly the recent movies and the G1 Toon, but with little details here and there from the franchise's entire history.
 * Oh heck yeah it was. The Optimus Prime parody also has a helmet that looks like Mega Man's.
 * Likely a coincidence, since it also looks like Orion Pax.
 * One of the Transformers wears Starscream's crown from Transformers the Movie.
 * The ghost that the Optimus and Megatron homages form into looks like the Fallen.

 * One of the inmates bears a striking resemblence to actor Danny Trejo, the bartender in From Dusk Till Dawn,(among other things.)
 * One of the convicts looks an awful lot like Francis.
 * One of the town's citizens accused Panty and Stocking of being impostors because there are only two of them. Apparently she had been expecting three angel-cops.

 * Not to mention Garterbelt's "Big Black Frankfurter" song bears more than a few similarities to Chef's "Chocolate Salty Balls".
 * The giant crab Ghost at the end ripping off people's swimsuits is reminiscent of the Beach Episode of Mahoromatic where the same thing happened (only there, it was a giant malfunctioning robot crab.)

There are also parodies of famous record covers (Velvet Underground, with Panty humping the banana; Nirvana's Nevermind with Stocking underwater following a cupcake; Pink Floyd's Division Bell with the heads of P&S; and finally, King Crimson's In The Court Of The Crimson King with Garterbelt's screaming face).

 * Her entire outfit is actually a homage to an outfit Taiga wears in Toradora

 * Brief says "I'm not your doll anymore" to his father. Rei Ayanami says that to her "father" Gendo Ikari in episode 26 of Neon Genesis Evangelion.
 * The "ALART" that appears on Garterbelt's scanner thing is most likely a shout-out to Neon Genesis Evangelion, and not just a typo like most people assume it to be. It's changed back to "ALERT" in episode 13.
