History ShoutOut / PantyAndStockingWithGarterBelt

* Also in the dub...[[Film/{{Ghostbusters}} "I don't see no Ghosts." "Who ya gonna call, motherbitches?"]]

* A ghost rampaging in a courthouse after ripping itself out of an electric chair? Panicky judge begging for the heroes to do the very job which he had just frowned upon? [[Film/{{Ghostbusters}} I Could swear I've seen a scene like this before...]]

* [[spoiler:Corset's plan is to arrange a marriage between Brief and Scanty, then use Brief's penis atop a symbolically-shaped tower as the key to release an EldritchAbomination. [[Film/{{Ghostbusters}} Sounds awful familiar]], and considering the ''Ghostbusters'' shout-out with Brief mentioned above, probably not coincidental. ]]

* Chuck melts down and reforms much like the [[Film/Terminator2JudgementDay T-1000]].

* The ghost is basically [[Franchise/SpiderMan the Carnage symbiote]], only it possesses vehicles instead of people.

* Just before the ghost first appears, Panty & Stocking are going through a [[LimitedAnimation weird looking]] running animation that looks [[Creator/HannaBarbera really]] [[Creator/{{Filmation}} nostalgic]] [[TheDarkAgeOfAnimation for some reason]].

-->''DeadLeaves and Pistachio. It was DELISH!~''

** [[Music{{Kiss}} in face-paint with pyrotechnics]]

* There's an ArtShift to ''WesternAnimation/SouthPark''[='s=] art style.

* Panty gets her hand stuck in a can of potato chips, then says that they should put a warning on them to prevent that situation from happening. [[{{Clerks}} This same phrase is uttered by another moron who was in a similar predicament.]]

* The report the Demon Sisters give is possibly a shout out to Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion, which had a meeting in a later episode where the Angels were all given names during a report.

* Panty's plan to have sex with 1000 men before returning to heaven exceeds the goal of [[BGataHKei another anime heroine]] by exactly one order of magnitude.

** Her entire outfit is actually a homage to an outfit Taiga wears in LightNovel/{{Toradora}}
** The angel wings she has on also makes her more like Juliet in Romeo + Juliet.
* Brief says "I'm not your doll anymore" to his father. Rei Ayanami says that to her "father" Gendo Ikari in episode 26 of ''Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion''.
* The "ALART" that appears on Garterbelt's scanner thing is most likely a shout-out to Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion, and not just a typo like most people assume it to be. It's changed back to "ALERT" in episode 13.
* After he's cleaned up and given his outfit, he bares more than a passing resemblance to [[VisualNovel/UminekoNoNakuKoroNi Battler Ushiromiya]], especially when he's CallingTheOldManOut.

The title is a reference to ''BadBoys''.

* When trying to defeat the ultimate Ghost, the girls start flying around in a way similar to ThePowerpuffGirls.

* All the panties, stocking, and garterbelts Stocking orders combine to form a CG [[GurrenLagann Giga Drill]] that literally pierces the heavens, though that was unintentional since their target was ''[[EpicFail below them]]''.
* [[spoiler: Panty and Stocking's Mom could possibly be a throwback to ''EndOfEvangelion''.]]

* At the end, Brief's reaction (Multiplied Big eyes) resembles a lot of cartoons such as [[NorthwestHoundedPolice Droopy the Dog]].

* "Chuck To The Future Part 4" is an over-sexualised parody of ''SuperMarioBros''.

* The chant Panty and Stocking say during their TransformationSequence is very similar to HellGirl's chant before she ferries people to hell.

* Scanty and Kneesocks could be one to Him of ''Powerpuff Girls''.

* Chuck bears a strong resemblance to G.I.R.'s dog disguise from ''InvaderZim''.

For the image in question, [[http://gelbooru.com/index.php?page=post&s=view&id=938540 see here.]]

** [[WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}} Fry]], you say? More like [[{{Doraemon}} Suneo]] all grown up.
* "Let's ditch the idiot with the [[{{Franchise/Barbie}} outdated doll's name]], Stockin'."

--> '''[[JamieMarchi Panty:]]''' Did she seriously refer to herself as {{Franchise/Barbie}}? Like the outdated fetish doll with a zillion lame-ass occupations?

** The dub adds a few more Barbie jokes throughout the ep.

* Panty's school uniform is [[RebuildOfEvangelion Mari's]] outfit with a shorter skirt. [[http://i56.tinypic.com/zwgk05.jpg Observe.]]

* The Principal bares an uncanny resemblance to [[Anime/{{SuperMilkChan}} The President (of Everything).]]

!! 02-B "Sex and the Daten City"

* "Sex and the Daten City" has the film being directed by [[DavidLynch David]] [[Creator/MNightShyamalan Shyamalan]]. The dub changed it to Creator/RomanPolanski.

* At the end of "Sex and the Daten City", Stocking goes on Website/YouTube. Although the site has a blatant YouTube logo, it resembles more of a cross between the former and NicoNicoDouga.

* And another dub example: "I'm sorry, but [[Film/HesJustNotThatIntoYou he's just not that into you.]]"

!! 03-A "Catfight Club"

** There's a slightly paraphrased reference to the book when Stocking says "I would totally have his abortion", Marla says "I want to have your abortion"
* To match Stocking's Sailor Lolita getup, Honekoneko comes decked with a sailor hat... and [[DonaldDuck a duckbill]].
* When Panty and Stocking are about to fight, you will find a little obscure reference to [[{{Hellsing}} a certain gunslinger vampire and a swordfighter priest.]] [[http://gelbooru.com/index.php?page=post&s=view&id=967553 Comparison.]]

The title is a reference to ''HighSchoolMusical''.
* "Last night, the residents of Daten City were terrorized by [[GhostInTheShell mass naked]] [[BlindIdiotTranslation student events]]."
* Just before the ghost first appears, Panty & Stocking are going through a [[LimitedAnimation weird looking]] running animation that looks [[HannaBarbera really]] [[{{Filmation}} nostalgic]] [[TheDarkAgeOfAnimation for some reason]].

!! 05-A "The Runny/Raiders of the Nasal Dark"

* The moon bears a striking resemblance to the one in MajorasMask.
* Much more likely the moon from ''Anime/TengenToppaGurrenLagann'', [[http://cdn1.jaman.com/fa01.jaman.com/dload/u1/0SXm2ySANiJw/1/5/1/1228526333/3002/Gurren-Lagann-Ep-22-My-Final-Duty.jpg image]]
* When the ghost releases smaller monsters, the sound effect is identical to the one used by [[{{Pokemon}} Poké Balls]].

!! 05-B "Vomiting Point"
The title is a reference to VanishingPoint
* The episode could be a reference to the ''PowerpuffGirls'' episode "Town and Out" (which had the girls moving to a much more realistic city).

!! 06 "Les Diaboliques"
The title is a reference to [[LesDiaboliques the film of the same name]].

** A reference to Lord LimpBizkit from ''StarBallz'', perhaps?
* Right after the Sisters send Panty and Stocking down the pipe, and the posters start flashing by, one of them is entitled [[TheWho The Punk and The Godfather]].

* When Scanty and Kneesocks berate Panty and Stockings, the latter ArtShift to look like [[TheMuppets Muppets]].
* The Daemon Sisters' InTheNameOfTheMoon speech sounds eerily similar to [[{{Pokemon}} Team Rocket's]], with Fastener even filling Meowth's role.
* When Brief is running away from the cars in the dub, he asks "What would IndianaJones do?"
* From the dub, we have Brief screaming "[[HelenaBonhamCarter HELENA BONHAM CARTER!]]", in a fit of sheer terror at the sight of a giant ghost.

The title is a reference to ''{{Transformers}}''.
* The whole episode is a huge shout out to ''{{Transformers}}'', of all things. Mostly the [[TransformersFilmSeries recent movies]] and the [[TransformersGeneration1 G1 Toon]], but with little details here and there from [[ShownTheirWork the franchise's entire history]].

* One of the Transformers wears Starscream's crown from TransformersTheMovie.

* The dub completes the homage with soundalikes of PeterCullen, Creator/FrankWelker ''and'' narrator Victor Caroli.

** Also the Starscream expy sounds kind of like its G1 self

* The episode turned the [[{{Berserk}} Crimson Behelit]] into one of the rarest sweet delicacies of the world.
* The guy whose car Panty and Stocking wash looks suspiciously like [[Manga/KatekyoHitmanReborn Tsuna.]]
** Either that or [[{{Pokemon}} Gary Oak...]]
* Brief in a red PlayboyBunny costume reminds of Haruko in episode 5 of {{FLCL}} and, by extension, of the bunny girl in Gainax's early effort ''Daicon IV''.
* The blonde girl in the pink PlayboyBunny costume and the brunette in the orange PlayboyBunny costume bring to mind [[{{Mario}} Princesses Peach and Daisy.]]

* This episode features zombie ghosts. ''[[HalfLifeFullLifeConsequences Zombie ghosts.]]''
* The way Garterbelt uses his Shotgun is the same manner as the reverend from ''Film/FromDuskTillDawn''. Also the dildo contraption Panty uses as a weapon is a direct reference to a similar weapon used by George Clooneys character in the same movie.
** One of the inmates bears a striking resemblance to actor Creator/DannyTrejo, the bartender in Film/FromDuskTillDawn,(among other things.)

* When Stocking impales the cat zombie's skull, she let's out some FunnyBruceLeeNoises, complete with a [[EnterTheDragon familiar theme]].
* At one point some of the survivors decide to throw a burning armchair into the mass of zombies to distract them, just like Ben did in the [[NightOfTheLivingDead first part of the Romero's "Dead" series]].

!! 08-B "1 Angry Ghost"
The title is a reference to ''[[TwelveAngryMen 12 Angry Men]]''.

* Am I the only one who also thought of ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'''s Evil Monkey and its finger pointing?

* Those two Ghosts also looked like a ''very'' familiar comedy team [[RenandStimpy if you looked close enough]].

* One of the town's citizens accused Panty and Stocking of being impostors because there are only two of them. [[CharliesAngels Apparently she had been expecting three angel-cops]].
