Line 1:
{{work}}
* [[Actor Allusion]]:
** When Tutuola joined the show, his previous background was in Narcotics, which was the job of [[Ice T]]'s character in ''[[New Jack City]]''.
** And when Lee Tergesen guest-starred as a suspect in the episode "Savior", he and Elliot got very touchy-feely in the interrogation room as they prayed together, undoubtedly a reference to their intimate times [[Oz|in prison together.]]
Line 9:
** Fin was in the Army, just as Ice-T was.
** Both Amaro and Barba are Cuban-Americans who speak fluent Spanish, reflecting that Danny Pino and Raúl Esparza are as well.
** Kelli Giddish is from Georgia, as is Rollins.
* [[The Danza]]: In the episode "Friending Emily", Taylor Spreitler guest stars as the victim's sister, Taylor Culphers.
* [[Fake American]]: Adam Beach, who played Chester Lake, is from Manitoba.
* [[Fandom Nod]]: In 11x13 "P.C.", {{spoiler|Kathy Griffin's lesbian character [[Ho Yay|coming onto Liv]]. The reasons she gives for her mistake are pretty much the same ones fans have been using for their [[Slash Fic]] since, oh, the start of the show}}.
** The best part being when Olivia asks, "Why does everyone think I'm a lesbian?"
*** No, the best part has to be Olivia fooling the suspect into confessing by ''pretending'' to be a lesbian, [[Fetish Fuel|swaggering into the interrogation room in a leather jacket.]]
* [[Fan Nickname]]: After one too many uses of the [[Jack Bauer Interrogation Technique]], Elliot became widely known as "UnStabler".
* [[Hey, It's That Guy!]]
** [[RoboCop]] ([[The Other Darrin|the second one]]) is now a Lieutenant at the Internal Affairs Bureau.
** [[Lois and Clark|Superman]] is a serial rapist who promptly marries his girlfriend to prevent her from testifying against him.
Line 68 ⟶ 72:
*** Judge Mary Clark was once a young actress from Brewster, New York. In other words, "[[That Girl|THAT GIRL!]]"
*** D.A. (then Judge) Barry Moredock used to be [[Northern Exposure|an Alaskan bar & grill owner named Holling Vincoeur]].
*** [[
*** Judge Lois Preston was once [[Dirty Harry|an abrasive madam named Ray Parkins]].
*** Judge Karen Taton was one of the ''Sisters'', and before that one of the ''[[Thirtysomething]]''s.
Line 88 ⟶ 92:
** [[The Carol Burnett Show|Eunice]] [[Mama's Family|Higgins]] raised [[Scream (film)|Stu Macher]] [[Wife Husbandry|from childhood]] and ''[[Squick|started having sex with him]]'' when he was 18. Dear ''god'', not ''[[Portmanteau Couple Name|Stunice]]''!
*** Also, her husband is [[The Sopranos|Johnny Sack]]. Unfortunately, [[Your Cheating Heart|he is not so faithfully devoted to his wife]]. [[Til Murder Do Us Part|Or alive]].
* [[Life Imitates Art]]:
** During the first half of the 2011 season, the episode "Missing Pieces" {{spoiler|in which a mother claims that her car was stolen with her young son still buckled into his car seat}} bore more than a passing resemblance to the still-unfolding [http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/11/10/sky-metalwala-law-order-svu_n_1086268.html Sky Metalwala] case. Another episode "Personal Fouls", {{spoiler|which revolves around a well-respected coach who uses a children's charity to molest young boys}}, originally aired a few weeks before the [https://web.archive.org/web/20160405070134/http://gothamist.com/2011/11/09/did_law_order_svu_predict_the_joe_p.php Penn State molestation] story broke. However, according to [[The Other Wiki]], this one was actually based on a ''[http://www.cbc.ca/sports/hockey/story/2009/10/09/sp-fleury-tell-all.html different]'' sports abuse case.
* [[Technology Marches On]]: Inevitable given that ''SVU'' premiered in 1999. The show's adjustment to the existence of social media occasionally veers into the hilarious.
