* TakeThat:
** Morby is defeated and stopped from advancing its semiotic decay of all media by being trapped inside the Paramount Network reboot of ''{{Series/Heathers}}'', thus ensuring that not a single person will ever watch it and set it free.

** The Season 2 premiere has Riley mentioning a lost violent anime called "The End.avi", which could be a reference to ''Anime/SakiSanobashi''.

** The intro coming on at inopportune times.

-->'''Meg:''' We try to inject as much Australian sensibility into the show as we can. (because honestly what is Australia if not the world's Florida)

* OurZombiesAreDifferent: Brains Vincent was zombified by a bite from a [[Film/DeadAlive Sumatran rat monkey]], and although he does have rotting purple skin and eat human flesh, he has fully retained his mental faculties in death, and is almost indistinguishable from a normal human due to skilled application of makeup.

** Multiple to Film/{{BeetleJuice}} and Nickelback.
** Silverstream, the streaming service that Riley subscribes to, is a reference to an episode that Henry Galley previously wrote for The Hidden Frequencies.
** Episode 4 has Riley play the Podcast/{{Congeria}} theme music when asked to play the most embarrassing song on their playlist. Riley and Bloody Mary's mentions of a certain dapper, faceless eldritch abomination are also bleeped for copyright purposes using the static sounds from the game Slender.
** Blackbeard in episode 6 finishes his series of financial tips by telling Riley and Evelyn [[Franchise/{{PiratesOfTheCaribbean}} "You best start believing in economies, kids...you're in one!"]] His {{leitmotif}} is also the same version of "[[StandardSnippet Drunken Sailor]]" heard in ''WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants''.

** The Last Chance Texas-Style BBQ references the name of the truck stop in [[Film/TheTexasChainsawMassacre1974 The Texas Chain Saw Massacre.]] (The promo code in the ad is even 'We Slaughter'!)

** Also in episode 9, Tarrare directly calls out [[Creator/{{McElroyBrothers}} Justin McElroy]] for saying "this dude ate a baby" on an episode of Podcast/{{Sawbones}} about Tarrare.
** Episode 13 features an ad for [[Film/TheShining The Overwrite Hotel Writer's Retreat.]] The ad makes sure to mention that the hotel has a [[Series/KeyAndPeele continental breakfast included with the room.]]

* GagBoobs: Evelyn's got, in Riley's words, "some bazongas". The trope is then taken up to eleven in episode 19 where the main plot surrounds a sea captain and his cabin boy hunting down a giant flying boob creature known as the Moby Tit.

* HeadlessHorseman: It turns out that Riley summoned a dullahan to curse their middle school nemesis, and he's been hounding her ever since. When Evelyn convinces Riley to try and call him off they mess up the summoning and get an [[HornyDevils incubus]], who turns out to know the horseman in question, quite intimately.

* ImperfectRitual: Riley and Evelyn attempt to summon a Dullahan substituting chalk, a stick from a dead oak, and Irish butter with duct tape, a vibrator, and a jar of mayonnaise. They get an [[HornyDevils incubus]] instead.

* DancingPants: The Season 2 episode "An Oldie But a Hoodie" has Riley's hoodie coming to life and refusing to leave after Riley starts to clean their room. [[spoiler:They defeat it by shrinking it in the wash.]]

* TheMasquerade: PlayedWith. Humans and monsters seem to be aware of each other, but the existence of ghosts hasn't been proven.

* GagBoobs: Evelyn's got, in Riley's words, "some bazongas". The trope is then taken UpToEleven in episode 19 where the main plot surrounds a sea captain and his cabin boy hunting down a giant flying boob creature known as the Moby Tit.

** The villain of Episode 3 is defeated using Paramount's reboot of Heathers.
