* ''The Curse of Oak Island'' gets a combined shout-out and TakeThat in [[https://www.grrlpowercomic.com/archives/comic/grrl-power-1246-lack-of-gold-is-the-new-orange/ #1246]] as Lapha and Dabbler discuss it being a show about treasure hunting that's really a RealityTV show about a spectacular failure to actually produce anything of real value.

* In Episode 910, Sydney is given a truth serum to induce her to tell everything. But this is Sydney. She obliges by telling... ''everything''. Basically, she overwhelms her captors with the sheer torrent of unfiltered irrelevant trivia that spills out. This is reminiscent of a similar scene in ''Literature/TheHitchHikersGuideToTheGalaxy'', where a witness in a court case takes the instruction ''to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth'' absolutely literally, and is still there a century or so later, telling the Whole Truth in an unbroken stream-of-consciousness.
