* If a SoapOpera gets referenced (and isn't a BlandNameProduct) chances are it's Series/DaysOfOurLives. To many however it will be ''Series/{{Dallas}}'' and ''Series/Dynasty1981''. ''Series/EastEnders'' and ''Series/CoronationStreet'' in the UK. ''Series/{{Neighbours}}'' if you need an Australian one.

** AMC have only ever made two shows: ''Series/BreakingBad'' and ''Series/TheWalkingDead.'' If a third is named, it'll most likely be ''Series/MadMen.''

* ''Series/BreakingBad'': All pop cultural references will be limited to Walt and Jesse. This has gotten much better in recent years, with Skylar, Hank, Marie, and Walt Jr. all becoming recognizable on their own, along with Saul/Jimmy, Mike, Gus, and the Salamanca family receiving more attention thanks to ''Series/BetterCallSaul'', where Kim, Chuck, Howard, and Nacho have also all become iconic in their own right.

Just For Pun is a disambiguation


* Possible example: The 1966 ''Series/{{Batman|1966}}'' episode "The Bookworm Turns (While Gotham City Burns)" features a villain called The Bookworm (Roddy [=McDowall=]), whose crimes are based on book plots. Most of the books referenced are fairly well-known, but at one point Bookworm, having threatened to "blow up" a valuable book, surprises Batman and Robin not by exploding it, but by making a ''much'' larger copy of it. This is [[JustForPun obviously a pun on the "blowing up" of photographs]], and just might be a hidden reference to the Julio Cortazar short story "Blow Up" (on which, yes, the Michelangelo Antonioni film about enlarging a photograph was based). On the other hand, since that story and the movie based on it were not yet widely known when the episode aired, this might be more of a coincidence than a GeniusBonus.

* Science shows? ''Series/{{Mythbusters}}''. ''Series/HowItsMade'' might get mentioned just because so many episodes have been produced and reruns are a fixture of the Discovery networks as filler programming.
