** [[Fridge Brilliance|It's been about 9 months since the STD fair, hasn't it?]] Note that you see a couple in the background of that episode throwing a condom away and then getting back to it...

* [[Bilingual Dialogue]]: [[Betty White]] and an African tribesman in [[The Tag]]. This is so another tribesman won't be spoiled by the English half of their discussion of ''[[Inception]]''.

* [[Buffy-Speak]]: Britta's imitating Annie.

* [[Captain Obvious Aesop]]: Lampshaded on at one point when Britta and Annie are staging a demonstration to raise awareness about the environmental effects of the oil spill in the gulf. Britta is angry and yelling about how horrible it is to people passing by when someone mockingly points out that she doesn't need to yell at them, nobody is on the other side of this issue.

* [[Cat Fight]]

** Duncan points out that Jeff's recent desire to belittle and undermine Pierce's faith in his cult is linked to Jeff's discovery that he has high cholesterol. Jeff accepts this, but instead of the expected 'so lighten up about it and let Pierce continue regardless' message, Jeff instead decides that this increased self-awareness means he can ''really'' go to town on pulling the rug from under Pierce.

{{quote| '''Annie:''' ...if a guy wants to make a puppet of me it's hardly your concern.}}

* [[Drinking the Kool Aid]]: Invoked. Pierce's faith believes that when Buddha returns everyone will merge into shimmering ocean of knowledge that tastes like Hawaiian fruit punch. [[Does This Remind You of Anything?|Which sounds a lot like]] [[Neon Genesis Evangelion|an incredibly oft-mentioned anime.]]
