* [[Everyone Is Jesus in Purgatory]]: Invoked in-universe in an art exhibit Pamela made for public viewing but knew only Jeff would understand.

{{quote| "I did it for you. For us. No one else can understand it; you'd be amused at the interpretations some of the critics have come up with."}}

* [[Groundhog Peggy Sue]]

* [[Here We Go Again]]: {{spoiler|A different, completely unrelated character in the epilogue wakes up in 1988, having just had a heart attack in 2017.}}

{{quote| "Near the window was a large desk stacked with books and notebooks, and in the center of it sat a bulky, greenish-gray device that incorporated a video screen, a keyboard, and a printer. He frowned quizzically at it. What was she doing with a home computer so early? ... 'It's not a computer,' Pamela said. 'Wang 1200 word processor, one of the first. No disk drive, just cassettes, but still beats a typewriter. Want a beer?'"}}

* [[Take Our Word for It]]: The description of the tear-inducing movie ''Starsea'', which in-universe was a blockbuster movie everyone was talking about, and the story Pamela tells her children of it.

* [[Twenty Minutes Into the Future]]: Jeff's heart attack happens in 1988, but the book was published in 1986 - two years before 1988. The most up-to-date event covered is [[wikipedia:Challenger disaster|The Space Shuttle Challenger disaster]], but the author remains purposefully vague on 1987 and 1988, because they hadn't actually happened yet. While there were arguably plenty of notable events in those years, luckily there was nothing on the level of another [[Pearl Harbor]] or a 9/11.

* [[Unintentional Period Piece]]: Written in the 1980's, when people would find many of these events nostalgic. Now that it has been almost 25 years since it came out, it's more of a time capsule of the 25 year period.
