* CompanyCrossReferences: The third issue has Harley engrossed in watching a cartoon called ''Acormegliacs'', which is an obvious pastiche of ''WesternAnimation/{{Animaniacs}}'', a cartoon by DC Comics' parent company Creator/WarnerBros. While we never actually see the cartoon on-panel, the main characters are named Yucko, Rondo and Splat in reference to the Warner Siblings' names of Yakko, Wakko and Dot. The theme song is even a clear parody of the one for ''Animaniacs''.

Added DiffLines:

* SoBadItsGood: Invoked in-universe with the ''Batman'' movie Harley and Ivy hijack. They had no plans to ever release the film - Ivy wanted the money that was in the production budget, Harley was having fun blowing up the different Batman actors. The movie studio has no choice but to release the movie due to how much cash was sunk into it. It ends up being universally hailed as a masterpiece parody of overblown action movies, netting Harley her own Oscar (which she accepts with multiple police escorts on stage).

%%
%%That scene were Batgirl thinks Harley and Ivy are "more than friends" aka insinuates that they're a lesbian couple, only for Harley to say something similar about Batgirl and Supergirl, DID NOT HAPPEN IN THIS COMIC.
%%Instead it happened in the one-shot comic "Comicbook/BatgirlAdventures". Therefore, whenever this scene is mentioned, it should be referring to that, not to "Comicbook/HarleyAndIvy".

Being a comic, it's allowed to get away with more than cartoons thanks to different censorship laws. Despite that, it's still mostly kid-friendly.
