* UnintentionalPeriodPiece: While it's suggested in-game that the setting is 2014, the game has elements dating to its 2011 release:
** Reality television appears to be considerably popular in Steelport, with Shaundi being the star of her own dating show and the popularity of Professor Genki's Super Ethical Reality Climax, clearly mirroring the popularity of reality shows in the early 2010s. ''Series/JerseyShore'' is also referenced by several tanned clubgoer pedestrians, one of whom resembles The Situation and is even named Luigi in the files.
** There's also the popularity of the vampire series [=NyteBlayde=], a clear parody of the then-popular ''Series/{{Angel}}''. The Latin female Boss will occasionally mutter to herself about forgetting to record it on [=DVR=], with no mention of online streaming services.
** Senator Monica Hughes appears to quite obviously be based on former Alaskan governor UsefulNotes/SarahPalin, who was still a relevant figure in pop culture around the time.
** The Creator/AdultSwim station contains ProductPlacement of their shows, most of which were still ongoing or recent.
*** While several of the shows the songs come from continued running for several years afterwards, whether still airing new episodes like ''WesternAnimation/TheVentureBrothers'' (which only ended in 2018) and ''WesternAnimation/{{Squidbillies}}'' (which is still making new episodes to this day), the station's host is Jon from ''Series/{{Delocated}}'', a show that ended almost six months later. Many of the others also come from shows that had already or have since ended, including:
*** "Sports" from ''Series/TimAndEricAwesomeShowGreatJob'', which ended in 2010.
*** A remix of the ''WesternAnimation/AquaTeenHungerForce'' theme, which the show itself had already stopped using when it started renaming itself with each new season until it ended in 2015.
*** Cheesburger's "Winner", a reference to the fact that they had composed for ''WesternAnimation/{{Superjail}}'', which would end three years later.
*** [[Music/{{OFWGKTA}} Odd Future]]'s "Anarchy", foreshadowing for ''Loiter Squad'', which hadn't debuted yet and would end in 2013.
*** [[FakeBand Dethklok's]] "The Cyborg Slayers", referencing WesternAnimation/{{Metalocalypse}}, which ended in 2012 (although the "real" band is still making music to this day).
*** [[Music/BrianBurton Danger]][[Music/{{MFDOOM}} DOOM]]'s "Basket Case", which was made in 2005 and features voice clips from ''WesternAnimation/HarveyBirdmanAttorneyAtLaw'', which had stopped airing in 2007.
*** Conversely, the lack of mention of more recent successful shows or programming blocks, like the rebooted Creator/{{Toonami}} or especially ''WesternAnimation/RickAndMorty'', sticks out like a sore thumb.

* CelebrityVoiceActor: Compared to ''Saints Row 2'', there aren't as many, but there are some notable names amongst the cast -

** When Angel gets his mask back, he starts doing Wrestling/HulkHogan's signature taunt.'

* IronyAsSheIsCast: Phillipe Loren is [[BerserkButton insistent]] on the fact that he is Belgian, not French... so of course, they hired French actor Jacques Hennequet to voice him.
** Also applies to Shaundi, the TokenWhite girl of the Saints (at least at the start of this game), voiced by black actress Danielle Nicolet.

* ActingForTwo: Try acting for ''three'' in Yuri Lowenthal's case. Being the voice of Matt, Professor Genki, and Jimmy Torbitson in ''The Trouble With Clones'' DLC.
