Line 18:
* [[The Cameo]]: Quite a few, including:
** [[Steve Buscemi]], of all people, is a hapless customer in the "Women & Women First" bookstore.
** Also, James Callis and Edward James Olmos (not to mention Ronald D. Moore) in the ''[[Battlestar Galactica Reimagined (TV)|Battlestar Galactica]]'' Episode.
* [[Cloudcuckooland]]: Keep Portland Weird indeed.
* [[Cloudcuckoolander]]: The Mayor of Portland, which isn't surprising given his constituency. Examples include sitting on an exercise ball instead of an office chair, drawing a dog on a Post-It instead of actually taking notes in a meeting, and lending out framed pieces of Native American art. He also clearly carries a grudge against Seattle for overshadowing Portland's [[Bourgeois Bohemian]] culture.
Line 35:
* [[Here We Go Again]]: Twice in "One Moore Episode":
** Carrie is turned off by a guy with an [[Pearl Jam (Music)|Eddie Vedder]] tattoo, and starts dating Eddie Vedder, who has an {{spoiler|[[Ani Difranco (Music)|Ani Difranco]] tattoo}}.
** In a convoluted fashion, a ''[[Battlestar Galactica Reimagined (TV)|Battlestar Galactica]]'' marathon leads to a ''[[Doctor Who (TV)|Doctor Who]]'' marathon.
* [[Hey, It's That Guy!]]: If you know indie rock luminaries at all, quite a few of them turn up as guest stars.
* [[Hipster]]
* [[Hypocritical Humor]]: The couple mentioned below in "[[What Do You Mean It's Not Heinous?]]" tied their ''child'' to a pole down the street.
Line 46:
* [[Medium Blending]]: "Cops Redesign" features a shift to stop motion for a sketch about rats in a supermarket.
* [[Meganekko]]: "All the hot girls wear glasses ''yeaahhhhhhh''!"
* [[Name's the Same]]: After becoming obsessed with ''[[Battlestar Galactica Reimagined (TV)|Battlestar Galactica]]'', Fred and Carrie seek out series creator Ronald D. Moore... by looking through the phone book and looking for his name. They seem nonplussed by the fact that the Moore they find is a lower-middle-class elderly black man who they have to explain Galactica to in order to convince him to write more scripts for the series.
** The real Moore shows up later in the skit, playing a local actor hired for a table reading of the script. The character has never heard of Battlestar Galactica.
* [[The Nineties]]: As the opening song notes, Portland is where the "Dream of the '90s" is still alive" as a reality.
Line 60:
* [[Safe Word]]: Cacao. Gets abused until female!Fred texts it to male!Carrie despite the two not even being in the same place at the time.
* [[Sanity Slippage]]: Carrie as she watches ''[[The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari (Film)|The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari]]''.
* [[Shout -Out]]:
** During the "Over" sketch, one of the albums visible in the record store is [[Sleater Kinney]]'s ''Dig Me Out''.
** "One Moore Episode" has a plot about Fred and Carrie watching ''[[Battlestar Galactica]]'' and trying to get more episodes written.
