* ''[[Pushing Daisies]]'': In the second episode, there's a flashback of the [[Victim of the Week]], a car safety tester, meeting his girlfriend, a promotional model for the same car company.

** Also referenced in the second episode of season 2. Chuck notices the bumper sticker "Mimes do it with imagination" on a van just before they open it to find a dead mime. Emerson comments that the bumper sticker should have said "If this van's a-rockin', I'm being murdered."
