2----
3!! General
4* To get the most obvious out of the way, the style of the art, tone, and episode structure resembles one of Creator/CartoonNetwork's most popular shows, ''WesternAnimation/ThePowerpuffGirls''.
5* A pair of beautiful angels who wreck havoc wherever they go? One of which has bright, messy hair with a harsh attitude and the other long, darker hair with a (slightly) more controlled personality? They could ''almost'' be stand-ins for the girls from ''Anime/DirtyPairFlash''.
6* Panty (while in ArtShift mode) has been compared to Miki Hoshii from ''Anime/TheIdolmaster''.
7* Stocking's appearance and theme may be based off of Marie, from ''Anime/MarieAndGali''; in which Marie is also a goth girl who enjoys sugary foods, carries around a plushie, and wears gothic lolita styled clothing.
8* The chant Panty and Stocking say during their TransformationSequence is very similar to ''Anime/HellGirl'''s chant before she ferries people to hell.
9* Then there's the chant from the dub: "O evil spirit born of those drifting between heaven and earth, may the thunderous power from the garments of these holy, delicate maidens [[Film/PulpFiction strike down upon you with great vengeance and furious anger]]..."
10* Scanty and Kneesocks could be one to Him of ''The Powerpuff Girls''.

15* Chuck bears a striking resemblance to GIR's dog disguise from ''WesternAnimation/InvaderZim''.
16* Corset seems to bear a resemblance to ''VideoGame/{{Darkstalkers}}''' Jedah, with a little [[VideoGame/{{Darkstalkers}} Dimitri]] thrown in. He also resembles Triple-6 from Hiroyuki Imaishi's previous work, ''Anime/DeadLeaves''.
17* Ghosts tend to die in classic Franchise/SuperSentai fashion: horrible pun, explosion.
18* When the moon is a crescent shape, [[Anime/DeadLeaves it looks all chewed-up]].
19* The Demon Sisters' insignia looks like [[ComicBook/{{Batman}} the Bat-Symbol]].
20* The Demon Sisters, despite having horns and bright-red skin, often remain disguised until they reveal themselves by throwing off their costumes in one swoop - which directly mimics Team Rocket's antics in nearly every episode of Anime/{{Pokemon}}.
21* In the English Dub, Creator/ChristopherSabat (Garterbelt's voice actor) seems to be doing his best Creator/SamuelLJackson impression, especially when he says "motherfucker" in some variant.
22

38* In the dub, the ghost, upon seeing the police roadblock, yells [[Anime/TengenToppaGurrenLagann "Who the hell do you think I am?"]]

40** The way Stocking cuts the truck in half recreates the scene of [[Film/TheMatrixReloaded Morpheus slicing a villain's car]],

47* "Let's ditch the idiot with the [[Franchise/{{Barbie}} outdated doll's name]], Stockin'."
48** The aforementioned line is augmented in the dub, and is just as funny. Maybe even more so:
49--> '''[[Creator/JamieMarchi Panty:]]''' Did she seriously refer to herself as Franchise/{{Barbie}}? Like the outdated fetish doll with a zillion lame-ass occupations?
50--> '''[[Creator/MonicaRial Stocking:]]''' She did, and I'm allergic to plastic. Let's get outta here before we catch slut-face.
51** The dub adds a few more Barbie jokes throughout the episode.
52-->'''Panty:''' Barbie Dream Cemetery sold seperately! REPENT, MOTHERFUCKER!
53* [[Film/MeanGirls "Don't have sex in school or else you'll die! No matter what position you use!!"]]
54* Barby tends to cross and uncross her legs in a way very similar to [[Anime/TengenToppaGurrenLagann Adiane the Elegant]].

66* [[http://oi54.tinypic.com/29mxf8z.jpg The male actor]] in Panty's sex tape from this episode [[WesternAnimation/JohnnyBravo looks very familiar]] when you think about it.
67* At the end of "Sex and the Daten City", Stocking goes on Website/YouTube. Although the site has a blatant Website/YouTube logo, it resembles more of a cross between the former and Website/NicoNicoDouga.
68* In the dub, Panty's agent mentions Panty [[WesternAnimation/ThePowerpuffGirls having a future meeting with Bubbles and sending a birthday card to Blossom]].
69* In the dub, Panty wants to make a CD à la Music/LindsayLohan.

71* Also in the dub... [[Franchise/{{Ghostbusters}} "I don't see no Ghosts." "Who ya gonna call, motherbitches?"]]
72* Another dub example, When Panty cracks up over Stocking's rather embarrassing doughnut commercial, she yells [[Film/{{Heathers}} "Fuck me with a chainsaw, girl! That was hilarious!"]]
73* And another dub example: "I'm sorry, but [[Film/HesJustNotThatIntoYou he's just not that into you]]."
74
75!!03-A "Catfight Club"
76The title is a reference to ''Film/FightClub''.
77* Stocking at one point says [[Literature/FightClub I'll totally have his abortion]].

79* To match Stocking's Sailor Lolita getup, Honekoneko comes decked with a sailor hat... and [[WesternAnimation/DonaldDuck a duckbill]].
80* When Panty and Stocking are about to fight, you will find a little obscure reference to [[Manga/{{Hellsing}} a certain gunslinger vampire and a swordfighter priest]]. [[http://gelbooru.com/index.php?page=post&s=view&id=967553 Comparison.]]
81* Brief's scooter is shaped like ''WesternAnimation/WallE''.
82* The dub has this conversation near the end.

92!! 04-A "The Diet Syndrome"

96* ''Film/MissionImpossible'' gets a little shout with a [[SuspiciouslySimilarSong questionably similar-sounding song]].
97* The fat cook Ghost shouts "HIDEBU!" when it dies, just like ''Manga/FistOfTheNorthStar'''s resident FatBastard, Mr. Heart.
98* When Stocking becomes very fat, she resembles Helga Phugly from the adult-animated sitcom, ''WesternAnimation/TheOblongs...''
99
100!! 04-B "High School Nudical"
101The title is a reference to ''Film/HighSchoolMusical''.
102* In the dub Brief says he can't show Panty his dick, since it goes against his [[Series/ArrestedDevelopment "never nude"]] beliefs.
103* The naked run seen, complete with Garter's speech is a direct reference to ''Film/{{American Pie}}'': The Naked Mile.
104* A news anchor reads: "Last night, the residents of Daten City were terrorized by mass naked student events," a reference to an infamous mistranslation of ''Anime/GhostInTheShellStandAloneComplex''. More info on BlindIdiotTranslation.FanSubs.
105* 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]] [[UsefulNotes/TheDarkAgeOfAnimation for some reason]].

108
109!!05-A "The Runny/Raiders of the Nasal Dark"
110The Japanese title is a reference to ''Film/TheMummy1932'', while the English title is one to ''Film/RaidersOfTheLostArk''.
111* The moon bears a striking resemblance to the one in ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaMajorasMask''.
112* 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]].

114
115!!05-B "Vomiting Point"
116The title is a reference to ''Film/VanishingPoint''.
117* The episode could be a reference to the ''WesternAnimation/ThePowerpuffGirls'' episode "Town and Out" (which had the girls moving to a much more realistic city).
118** Also, the ArtShift has been compared to the styles of both Creator/SatoshiKon and Studio 4C. In reality, the episode was referencing something much more obscure - Shinya Ohira's episode of The Hakkenden, which angered many fans as a result of its realistic, "ugly" aesthetics and loose style. This reaction mirrored the one that fans had while watching Osamu Kobayashi's episode of Gurren Lagann, episode 4, and this episode could easily be seen as an attempt to create a similar reaction.
119*** Little Tokyo bears a lot of resemblance with Treasure Town from 4C's Tekkonkinkreet in particular. The audience even visually enters Little Tokyo along with a black crow. The character designs are also exactly like the ones in Tekkonkinkreet.
120* The beginning of the episode features a Buddha-like [[WesternAnimation/XiaolinShowdown Omi]] doll.
121* [[BlandNameProduct There is a fast-food restaurant called WcDonalds]].

125* One of the people in the "loser class" in "Les Diaboliques" is wearing a Darth Vader helmet with cape, complete with lightsaber, but the helmet has cat ears.
126* Right after the Sisters send Panty and Stocking down the pipe, and the posters start flashing by, one of them is entitled [[Music/TheWho The Punk and The Godfather]].
127** The scene is also a reference to Anime/TheCastleofCagliostro, complete with a statue that spits out Polaroid photos.
128* [[Anime/TengenToppaGurrenLagann Boota]] can be seen in a [[FreezeFrameBonus small handful of frames]] when the characters go underground through a toilet.
129* When Scanty and Kneesocks berate Panty and Stockings, the latter ArtShift to look like [[Franchise/TheMuppets Muppets]].
130* The Daemon Sisters' InTheNameOfTheMoon speech sounds eerily similar to [[Anime/{{Pokemon}} Team Rocket's]], with Fastener even filling Meowth's role.
131* When Brief is running away from the cars in the dub, he asks "What would Franchise/IndianaJones do?"
132* From the dub, we have Brief screaming "[[Creator/HelenaBonhamCarter HELENA BONHAM CARTER!]]", in a fit of sheer terror at the sight of a giant ghost.
133* Also in the dub, Stocking says "[[Literature/AliceInWonderland curiouser and curiouser]]" upon seeing the ghost plant.
134* Brief calls Scanty and Kneesock's robots an "army of artificial [[Film/TheDarkKnight Dark-Knight]] ghosts".
135
136!! 07-A "Trans-homers"
137The title is a reference to ''Franchise/{{Transformers}}''.
138* The whole episode is a huge shout out to ''Franchise/{{Transformers}}'', of all things. Mostly the [[Film/TransformersFilmSeries live-action movies]] and the [[WesternAnimation/TheTransformers G1 Toon]], but with little details here and there from [[ShownTheirWork the franchise's entire history]].
139** [[http://img707.imageshack.us/img707/9218/pantyandstockingwithgar.jpg Oh heck yeah it was]]. The Optimus Prime parody also has a helmet that looks like VideoGame/MegaMan's.
140*** Likely a coincidence, since it also looks like [[http://tfwiki.net/w2/images2/d/d4/Orionpax.jpg Orion Pax]].
141* One of the Transformers wears Starscream's crown from ''WesternAnimation/TransformersTheMovie''.
142* The ghost that the Optimus and Megatron homages form into looks like the Fallen.
143* Unicron pops up at the end of the episode.
144* Panty and Stocking's transformed versions are each a mix of the original cartoon's and the original movie's faction leaders: Panty is a mix of Optimus Prime and Rodimus Prime, while Stocking is a mix of Megatron and Galvatron (with [[WesternAnimation/TransformersAnimated Animated]] Megatron's swords).
145* The dub completes the homage with soundalikes of Creator/PeterCullen, Creator/FrankWelker ''and'' narrator Victor Caroli.
146** For what it's worth, the Japanese voice cast outdoes the dub in that regard; the voices for not-Optimus and not-Megatron are actually ''the same voice actors'' as from the Japanese dub of the G1 Transformers cartoon.
147** Also the Starscream expy sounds kind of like its G1 self.
148** And there's also iconic lines from the G1 movie like "one shall rise, one shall fall" and "why waste your life".
149* Anime/BravePoliceJDecker's transformation sequence was used by the suicide bomber
150!! 07-B "The Stripping"
151The title is a reference to ''Series/TheKilling''.
152* The episode starts with Garterbelt chewing out Panty and Stocking for wasting huge sums of money on their hobbies, including $300,000 worth of rare delicacies among which a [[http://static.fjcdn.com/large/pictures/44/c8/44c8b9_5459617.jpg strange fruit]] with the face of a [[Manga/{{Berserk}} Behelit]] can be seen.
153* The guy whose car Panty and Stocking wash looks suspiciously like [[Manga/Reborn2004 Tsuna]].
154** Either that or [[Anime/{{Pokemon}} Gary Oak...]]
155* Brief in a red PlayboyBunny costume reminds of Haruko in Episode 5 of ''Anime/{{FLCL}}'' and, by extension, of the bunny girl in Gainax's early effort ''Daicon IV''.
156* The blonde girl in the pink PlayboyBunny costume and the brunette in the orange PlayboyBunny costume bring to mind [[Franchise/SuperMarioBros Princesses Peach and Daisy]].
157* Panty wearing [[Literature/HaruhiSuzumiya a red Playboy Bunny costume and Stocking wearing a black one?]]
158* The ghost is [[TheIlluminati a pyramid with an eye]].
159** That's actually the Eye of Providence, specifically the one depicted on the U.S. dollar bill. Since the ghost is associated with money, the connection is obvious.
160
161!!08-A "...of the Dead"
162The title is a reference to George Romero's ''Film/LivingDeadSeries''. This title could also be referencing the Manga/HighschoolOfTheDead, the chapters/episodes of which are often titled as a main theme of the episode, plus "... of the Dead".
163* It's their first day as cops in ''[[Creator/GeorgeARomero Romero]] & [[Creator/JohnCarpenter Carpen]] Town'', and the city has been overrun with zombies. [[VideoGame/ResidentEvil2 Sound familiar?]]
164* This episode features zombie ghosts. ''[[FanFic/HalfLifeFullLifeConsequences Zombie ghosts.]]''
165* 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 Clooney's character in the same movie.
166** One of the inmates bears a striking resemblance to actor Creator/DannyTrejo, the bartender in ''Film/FromDuskTillDawn'',(among other things).
167* One of the convicts looks an awful lot like [[VideoGame/Left4Dead Francis]].
168* One of the town's citizens accused Panty and Stocking of being impostors because there are only two of them. [[Series/CharliesAngels Apparently she had been expecting three angel-cops]].
169* When Stocking impales the cat zombie's skull, she let's out some FunnyBruceLeeNoises, complete with a [[Film/EnterTheDragon familiar theme]].
170* 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 [[Film/NightOfTheLivingDead1968 first part of the Romero's "Dead" series]].
171* [[Film/DawnOfTheDead1978 "When there is no more room in hell, the dead shall walk the earth."]]
172* Scanty and Kneesocks got their zombie elixir from ''Publisher's Cursing House''.
173
174!!08-B "1 Angry Ghost"
175The title is a reference to ''Film/TwelveAngryMen''.
176* A monkey, of all things, decides to mimic [[VisualNovel/AceAttorney a certain attorney]]. And after his transformation, he bears a strong resemblance to [[Franchise/LupinIII a famous thief]].
177* When did [[Anime/MobileSuitGundam Lieutenant Matilda]] become a [[http://i56.tinypic.com/5ulsnr.jpg monkey]]? Also there's a New Type Sound Effect when shocked & became attorney.
178* The two ghosts, [[https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/pswgb/images/5/5a/Ds.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20101122182859 Husband Petter]] and [[https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/pswgb/images/5/50/8b-16.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20110312014907 Wife Petter]], also look like a ''very'' familiar cartoon comedy team [[WesternAnimation/TheRenAndStimpyShow if you looked close enough]].
179* [[Creator/TomCruise Tom Croose]]? Right out of ''Film/{{Magnolia}}'', even.
180** The English dub leans in to the reference even further, with Croose telling us what we should respect and tame.
181* 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/GhostbustersII I could swear I've seen a scene like this before...]]
182* At some point during his peroration, the backing music to Monkey lawyer is the ''Iron Chef'' "whose cuisine reigns supreme!" leitmotif.
183* Then she changes into something straight out of ''Film/TheThing1982'', and when killed, her final line is, "[[Creator/JohnCarpenter Carpenter]]!"
184* Stocking made Panty drive her to the ice cream parlor to get the newest flavor.
185-->''Anime/DeadLeaves and Pistachio. It was DELISH!~''
186* [[Franchise/{{Terminator}} Judgement Day]].
187* The muscular person on the title card of ''Judgment Day'' looks an awful lot like [[Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventureBattleTendency Esidisi]]. With boobs, for some reason...
188
189!!09-A "If the Angels Wore Swimsuits"
190The title is a reference to ''If She Wore A Swimsuit''.
191* There's an ArtShift to ''WesternAnimation/SouthPark'''s art style.
192** Not to mention Garterbelt's "Big Black Frankfurter" song bears more than a few similarities to Chef's "Chocolate Salty Balls".
193* The giant crab Ghost at the end ripping off people's swimsuits is reminiscent of the BeachEpisode of ''Manga/{{Mahoromatic}}'' where the same thing happened (only there, it was a [[GiantEnemyCrab giant malfunctioning robot crab]].)
194** The Octopus ghost that crawls out of the water first has demon wings that gives it an uncanny resemblence to [[Franchise/CthulhuMythos Cthulhu]].
195* One of the men ogling naked Panty covered in seafood Ghosts looks like Barney Rubble from ''WesternAnimation/TheFlintstones''.
196** Another one looks like a black [[WesternAnimation/TheJetsons Mr. Spacely]].
197* The swimsuit Stocking is wearing looks sort of [[http://wiki.mizuumi.net/images/5/54/Eri-portrait.png famliar]]
198* After P&S win the first volleyball match, Panty decides to taunt the demons offscreen in the dub.
199-->'''Panty:''' ''[[Anime/CrayonShinChan ASS DANCE! ASS DANCE!]]''
200
201!!09-B "Ghost: The Phantom of Daten City"
202The title is a reference to ''Film/Ghost1990'' (the Japanese dub is [[TheForeignSubtitle subtitled]] ''The Phantom of New York'').
203* Stocking's winter coat looks like [[Manga/GalaxyExpress999 Maetel's]] typical outfit.

214The title is a reference to ''Franchise/BackToTheFuture''.
215* Chuck melts down and reforms much like the [[Film/Terminator2JudgmentDay T-1000]].
216* In Part 1 there is a can labeled "Film/AttackOfTheKillerTomatoes".
217* Part 1 as a whole feels like a homage to ''WesternAnimation/TomAndJerry'' and similar old style cartoons.
218* In Part 2, after being microwaved, Chuck reforms itself pretty much like ''Film/{{Watchmen}}'''s Dr Manhattan after being de-atomized.
219* The scene where Chuck punches a fly on the wall and gets hit with a constant stream of flies is a parody of a scene from ''Film/EvilDead2'', where Ash [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N-lc-MMdA-k&feature=related gets sprayed in the face]] with a stream of blood coming from a hole in the wall.
220** The way the flies reform into a giant hand is a homage to Master Hand from ''VideoGame/{{Super Smash Bros}}''.

225The title is a reference to ''Film/{{Help}}'' (the Japanese dub is [[TheForeignSubtitle subtitled]] ''We are Idols'').
226* The logo in the top-left corner is a send-up of Creator/{{MTV}}'s. It's also a parody of MTV in general, having hilariously poor autotune and [[CensoredForComedy censorship on the word fuck]], despite the rest of the show being very R rated.
227* Just as the music starts: "[[Music/BobDylan Bangin' on heaven's door]]."
228* Stocking is playing a [[Manga/KOn fairly uncommon left-handed bass guitar]].

240** and in the artstyle of the Music/{{Gorillaz}}
241*** Panty also deflects a rubber ball with a hip thrust.
242* There are also parodies of famous record covers:
243** Music/VelvetUnderground, with Panty humping the banana
244** Music/{{Nirvana}}'s ''Nevermind'' with Stocking underwater following a cupcake
245** Music/PinkFloyd's ''Division Bell'' with the heads of P&S
246** and finally, Music/KingCrimson's ''In The Court Of The Crimson King'' with Garterbelt's screaming face
247* When PSG is playing beneath the Northern Lights background, Chuck is wearing [[WesternAnimation/SouthPark Kenny's parka]]. Moreover when they are playing at Times Square, a billboard for UFC could be seen as well as the storefront for the now-defunct Virgin (or, rather, ''[[BlandNameProduct Virginia]]'') Megastore.
248* One of the women in the [[Music/LadyGaga "Telephone"]] parody resembles [[Anime/{{Pokemon}} Jessie]].
249* The two truckers in the desert are Guile and possibly Abel from the ''Franchise/StreetFighter'' series.
250* Near the end of the music video a chain breaks in a Franchise/BlackRockShooter-like fashion.
251* Stocking smashes someone away with a [[Anime/{{FLCL}} bass swing]].
252* The framing device of the rowdy punk concert closes the video in the same fashion as the music video for My Chemical Romance's cover of "Desolation Row".
253
254!!11-A "Once Upon a Time in Garterbelt"
255The title is a reference to ''Film/OnceUponATimeInAmerica''.
256* [[TheCakeIsALie The Key is a]] [[VideoGame/{{Portal}} Lie]].
257* [[https://psg.fandom.com/wiki/File:11a-1.jpg Panty is wearing a shirt]] with the logo of Creator/SlaveLaborGraphics.
258** Stocking's attire in the beginning of the episode seems to loosely resemble Lenore Lynchfast, the protagonist of the [[ComicBook/LenoreTheCuteLittleDeadGirl comic series of the same name]] that’s also by ''Slave Labor Graphics''.
259** Not to mention Honekoneko's (Stocking's cat) cosplay, loosely resembles another ''Lenore'' character, Ragamuffin.
260* When the monkeys touch Garterbelt, it's a reference to [[Film/TwoThousandOneASpaceOdyssey 2001]] -- and he's the monolith.
261* During a montage of Garterbelt traveling through history and around the world, you can spot a split-second image of him dressed as Anime/AfroSamurai.
262** I thought that was Music/JimiHendrix, he even had a guitar.
263** You can also see Garterbelt dressed as WesternAnimation/SpaceGhost in one of the pictures.
264* There are lots of art, Bible and history references: Moses parting the Red Sea (just like in ''{{Film/The Ten Commandments|1956}}''), Jonah and the fish, Leonardo da Vinci's [[http://leonardodavinci.stanford.edu/submissions/clabaugh/images/vm/leonardo.jpg Vitruvian Man]] and [[LastSupperSteal The Last Supper]], the Crusades, Eugène Delacroix's ''Art/LibertyLeadingThePeople'', the [[http://www.taiwandocuments.org/yalta.jpg Yalta Conference]], Ku Klux Klan, ThoseWackyNazis and many more, all of them featuring Garterbelt in one way or another.
265* Young!Garterbelt is a CaptainErsatz to [[Film/{{Scarface1983}} Tony Montana]]. Hell, he even sniffed coke from a big pile on his desk before dying from a hail of bullets just like the original!
266* Panty and Stocking fight a six-armed clockwork suit of armor that is reminiscent of [[Anime/TengenToppaGurrenLagann Viral's mecha]].
267
268!!11-B "Nothing To Room"
269The title is a reference to ''Nothing To Lose''.
270* The entire set-up appears to spoof {{sitcom}}s. But the only time a studio audience is heard is when Chuck enters the scene.
271* 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. [[Film/{{Clerks}} This same phrase is uttered by another moron who was in a similar predicament.]]
272** Panty delivers a gender flipped version of one of Jay's memorable one liners.
273* The piano music which plays when Chuck enters with a bowl of dog food is the famous [[PublicDomainSoundtrack public domain piece]] ''[[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Entertainer_(rag) The Entertainer]]'' which is also frequently used in the WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes cartoons.
274
275!!12-A "D.C. Confidential"
276The title is a reference to ''Film/LAConfidential''.
277* 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.
278
279!!12-B "Panty + Brief"
280The title is a reference to ''[[Film/WilliamShakespearesRomeoAndJuliet Romeo + Juliet]]''.
281* Panty's plan to have sex with 1000 men before returning to heaven exceeds the goal of [[Manga/BGataHKei another anime heroine]] by exactly one order of magnitude.
282* The scene where Panty and Brief look at each other through an aquarium is an homage to ''Romeo + Juliet''. It even features a SuspiciouslySimilarSong of the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iqNccXyBWlk song]] used in the equivalent ''Romeo + Juliet'' scene.
283* The group of men Panty has sex with in the beginning look [[http://i159.photobucket.com/albums/t142/hinata_naruto_4ever111/garyoak.png an awful lot]] like Gary Oak.
284** In that very same image, the Ghosts pursuing Brief look like a bunch of demonic [[Anime/MyNeighborTotoro Totoro]]!
285* Panty's hairstyle at the party lends her a rather astonishing resemblance to [[Manga/FullmetalAlchemist Winry Rockbell]].
286** Her entire outfit is actually a homage to an outfit Taiga wears in ''Literature/{{Toradora}}''
287** The angel wings she has on also makes her more like Juliet in ''Romeo + Juliet''.
288* 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''.
289* 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.
290* After he's cleaned up and given his outfit, he bares more than a passing resemblance to [[VisualNovel/UminekoWhenTheyCry Battler Ushiromiya]], especially when he's CallingTheOldManOut.
291* Garterbelt says "Until you prove yourself [[Literature/TheLordOfTheRings YOU SHALL NOT PASS]]" to Panty [[spoiler: after she isn't accepted back to heaven due to her actions.]]
292
293!!13 "Bitch Girls"/"Bitch Girls 2: Bitch"
294The title is a reference to ''Film/BadBoys1995''.
295* Panty being kicked out and sickened by the very sight of sex bears resemblance to ''Film/AClockworkOrange''.
296* Panty recovers from her HeroicBSOD as [[Anime/HeidiGirlOfTheAlps Panty, Girl of the Alps]].
297* [[spoiler:Chuck's face as a OneWingedAngel]] strongly resembles the mask worn by the strongest form of [[Manga/{{Bleach}} Hollow Ichigo]].
298** His face also looks similar to [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Violator_(comics) the Violator]] from ''ComicBook/{{Spawn}}''.
299* [[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 1984}} Sounds awful familiar]], and considering the ''Ghostbusters'' shout-out with Brief mentioned above, probably not coincidental. ]]
300* The emergence of the ghost resembles the opening of the gate in ''Manga/FullmetalAlchemist''.
301** Even more so when you remember that Corset is opening the gate and freeing the ghost to invade heaven, and [[spoiler:in ''FMA'', Father opened the planet's Gate to drag God down to Earth]].
302* Corset's "death" from being squashed by a very large foot from the sky reminds one of [[Series/MontyPythonsFlyingCircus something completely different]].
303* When battling the Daemon sisters and trying to defeat the Ultimate Ghost, the girls start flying around in a way similar to WesternAnimation/ThePowerpuffGirls, again.
304* The words ''[[Manga/DeathNote Keikaku doori]]'' are said by several characters, too many times to be a coincidence.
305* Garterbelt pulls a machine gun out of his afro and starts firing wildly, much like Nabeshin in some episodes of ''Anime/ExcelSaga''.
306* All the panties, stocking, and garterbelts Stocking orders combine to form a CG [[Anime/TengenToppaGurrenLagann Giga Drill]] that literally pierces the heavens, though that was unintentional since their target was ''[[EpicFail below them]]''.
307* [[spoiler: Panty and Stocking's Mom could possibly be a throwback to ''[[Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion End Of Evangelion]]''.]]
308** [[spoiler: Also reminds of Creator/MontyPython's giant foot.]]
309* At the end, Brief's reaction (Multiplied Big eyes) resembles a lot of cartoons such as [[WesternAnimation/NorthwestHoundedPolice Droopy the Dog]].
310* [[VideoGame/SengokuBasara "This will be your last party!"]]
311
312!! Sanitarybox shorts
313* Zombie!Panty has Franchise/{{Alien}}'s mouthed tongue.
314* The winning baseball team in "Heroine Interview" is based on the Tokyo Giants. There's even a very...[[GagPenis endowed]] cameo of their mascot, Giabbit.
315* "Chuck To The Future Part 4" is an over-sexualised parody of ''Franchise/SuperMarioBros''.
316
317!![[http://imgur.com/a/rFpaa Geekboy Homecoming]]
318* The title is a reference to ''Film/SpiderManHomecoming.'' They even released [[http://i.imgur.com/s33waZL.jpg an acrylic stand]] of Brief in [=MCU=] Spidey's costume for the book's 2017 Summer Comiket rerelease.
319* One of the [[spoiler:"Incomplete Pantys"]] is dressed up like [[ComicBook/{{Batman}} Harley Quinn]] as she appears in ''Film/{{Suicide Squad|2016}}''.
320* When Panty [[spoiler:is brought back to life]], she [[ArtShift art-shifts]] to a style of the anime, ''Anime/KillLaKill'', an anime that’s by the team that worked on Panty & Stocking.
321* [[spoiler:At the end of the chapter, Stocking's mysterious form ressambles 001 from ''Anime/DarlingInTheFranxx'', another anime that the team behind Panty and Stocking worked on.]]
322* Panty [[Anime/TengenToppaGurrenLagann pierces the heavens]] with Backlace.
