- Actor Allusion: Mindy's brother Rishi wants to drop out of school and become a rapper. Rishi is played by Utkarsh Ambudkar, who played the beatboxer Donald in Pitch Perfect.
- Aubrey may have helped sway her from this decision, then.
- Creator's Oddball: Vilmos Zsigmond shot 24 episodes of the show. Yes, that Vilmos Zsigmond.
- The Danza: Mindy Kaling as Mindy Lahiri.
- Reality Subtext: The show did an episode about the entire practice being Mistaken for Racist in response to complaints that all of Mindy's love interests were white.
- Beverly thinking Mindy is Malala Yousafzai is based on an actual incident.
- Tamra's cousin, Sheena, mentions having to struggle with her self-esteem, and while Mindy dismisses it (unable to believe Sheena has been anything but beautiful), it's likely a reference to Sheena's actress, Laverne Cox, being transgender.
