Line 35:
* [[Here We Go Again]]: Twice in "One Moore Episode":
** Carrie is turned off by a guy with an [[Pearl Jam|Eddie Vedder]] tattoo, and starts dating Eddie Vedder, who has an {{spoiler|[[Ani DiFranco]] tattoo}}.
** In a convoluted fashion, a ''[[Battlestar Galactica Reimagined(2004 TV series)|Battlestar Galactica]]'' marathon leads to a ''[[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]]
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(2004 TV series)|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.
* [[Offscreen Teleportation]]: The giant box that previously contained a very small sex toy.
