* Originally named for Nurse Joy and Officer Jenny in the ''[[Pokémon (anime)|Pokémon]]'' anime. They likely arose as a parody of the games' use of [[You All Look Familiar]]. Some weren't even related, but they all had the exact same personality and appearance. The series did its share of [[Lampshade Hanging]]; at one point, one Jenny shows off a picture of her graduating class at the police academy (shown above), every single one of which is a Jenny.

Said differences included perfumes used, slight differences in skirt length, and slight differences in hair style - in other words, things that would be virtually impossible for audiences to see on a television (and judging by the fact that very few in the show notice them, they're not that easy to spot period).
