Line 145:
*** Continuing the Trek theme, one episode of ''Flash'' makes a reference to "Mudd's Passion Planet".
** Another interesting example: a list of people who have a grudge against Kei and Yuri apparently includes Bruce Springsteen, Phil Collins, and Eric Clapton.
** The series is also one giant shout out to [[Professional Wrestling]], more specifically the joshi promotion [[All Japan WomensWomen's Pro Wrestling]]. The Dirty Pair name is a reference to the Beauty Pair, AJW's top tag team, while the Lovely Angels codename is a reference to another tag team called the Queen Angels. The organization's initials (3WA) are also a reference to the company's title belts (WWWA World and WWWA Tag Team championships). This is all [[Lampshade Hanging|lampshaded]] in the first episode of the series when, after Kei and Yuri announce their arrival, a member in the crowd expresses disbelief at being saved by "pro wrestlers".
* [[Show Some Leg]]
** Kei actually flashes some guards as a distraction in one episode of the TV series.
