** When Robby sings off into the starry night sky, the word "Tits" forms in the stars. This is a reference to a subliminal message from WesternAnimation/TheLionKing, where Mufasa slammed his head down on the ground, sending a bunch of dust into the night sky, where it formed the shape of the word "Sex".

* Agent Clappers makes a direct and very well-done reference to Series/TheWire, raving about what a great show it is and describing the show in such keen detail, that he even mentions a specific episode! Obviously, Agent Clappers is not only voiced by Lance Reddick but also modeled after his character from The Wire, Cedric Daniels. In a dialogue block, Agent Clappers chastises Kevin for not watching The Wire and goes on about how great Lt. Daniels is, especially. He even mentions how in "Season 2, Episode 12", he takes his shirt off and looks so sexually ripped. If you were to watch that exact episode of that very show, it redirects you to the Season 2 finale episode, "[[Recap/TheWireS02E12PortInAStorm Port in a Storm]]", where this exact thing happens in the show, just like Clappers said.

!!Paradise Found
* The title and plot pay homage to ''Paradise Found''.
* Dusty joins the Neo-Nazi club and dresses as Neo from Film/TheMatrix.
* Fitz blowing up the abandoned cold storage building pays homage to the famous scene of The Joker blowing up the Gotham Hospital in Film/TheDarkKnight.
!!Big Ball Energy
* Cop Bot shows Fitz an episode of Series/BrooklynNineNine, where Jake sets a spider loose and it winds up on Terry's head. This is a direct reference to the exact episode, [[Recap/BrooklynNineNineS3E03BoylesHunch Boyle's Hunch]].
!!Tucker Carlson is a Huge Dick
* Due to censorship and legal reasons, Paradise P.D. constantly bashes on an unidentified woman known only as "[[HeWhoMustNotBeNamed The Celebrity We Can't Mention]]", for her bullshit "medical" company, where she sells worthless alternative medicine to dumb suckers, who are willing to pay for it. The celebrity they're avoiding mentioning is Creator/GwynethPaltrow, who is either a corporate hack, who is either willfully ripping people off for money or too stupid to know that alternative medicine is complete horsecrap.
** It's unknown if Paradise P.D. was actually censored or if this was all just a joke. It's possible it was a joke, given that Gwyneth Paltrow's show, ''Goop'' is also a Netflix original, meaning there should be no legal trouble with mocking the TV show.
* A corrupt businessman named Brett [=DeMarco=] showed up to associate with The Legion of Dooooom. Paradise P.D. might have been slandering [[https://www.linkedin.com/in/brettdemarco this innocent guy]] on [=LinkedIn=] for no reason.
* Bullet's police force consists of other [[FunnyAnimal funny animals]] from famous cartoons, such as Scrooge [=McDuck=] from WesternAnimation/DuckTales2017, the titular character from ComicStrip/{{Heathcliff}}, Droopy Dog and Porky Pig from WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes, and the titular character from WesternAnimation/WoodyWoodpecker.
* [[spoiler:When Tucker Carlson, died by melting down the storm train, he exclaims "What a world!", quoting The Wicked Witch of the West from Film/TheWizardOfOz.]]
!!Who Ate Wally's Waffles?
* This whole episode is jam-packed with ''Disney'' references both subtle and overt.
!!The Father, The Son, and The Holy Post-It Note

* Thester roasts Randall by telling him "[[XCalledTheyWantTheirYBack Woody from]] WesternAnimation/{{Brickleberry}} [[XCalledTheyWantTheirYBack called.]] [[ManOfAThousandVoices He wants his voice back.]]"
* If you pay close attention, you'll notice Agent Dunfore drives the Eagle 5 from Film/{{Spaceballs}}.

Paradise P.D. is a very reference-heavy TV show, that's made plenty of subtle and significant shout-outs to other media.

The creators of the show, Roger Black and Waco O'Guin are really big fans of 80's movies and video games.
!!Welcome to Paradise
* Kevin goes in disguise as an Italian man and Robby and Delbert need to think of a fake Italian name for him. [[SubvertedPunchline Instead of going with the go-to Italian name]] of [[Franchise/SuperMarioBros "Mario" or "Luigi"]], they come up with the name "VideoGame/{{Galaga}} VideoGame/DigDug". After forgetting the name they gave him, they rename him "VideoGame/PolePosition [[VideoGame/PacMan Pac-Man Jr.]] VideoGame/{{Frogger}} VideoGame/{{Asteroids}} UsefulNotes/SegaMasterSystem". Terry Two-Toes [[SuperGullible believes this]].
* Randall has a difficult time admitting he's wrong to Kevin, as he can't even seem to formulate the words. This is a subtle reference to The Fonz from Series/HappyDays and his classic running gag, where he, himself was incapable of saying the same word. Only this show does a bit of a spin on it, where instead of just choking when trying to admit he's wrong, Randall straight up vomits all over the floor.
!!Ass on the Line
* Molesto the Sex Crime Dog is a hilarious parody on [[DetectiveAnimal McGruff the Crime Dog]].
!!Black & Blue
* Bullet making the horrifying discovery that [[spoiler:Red Lobster meals are made with the DNA of old people]] is an obvious reference to [[spoiler:Film/SoylentGreen]].
-->'''Bullet''': [[spoiler:Red Lobster ... is OLD PEOPLE!?]]
!!Karla 9000
* The [[AIIsACrapshoot plot of the whole episode]] is a clear parody on the famous Series/KnightRider episodes [[spoiler:"Trust Doesn't Rust" and "K.I.T.T. vs. K.A.R.R."]]. While not the most original parody in the world, it still manages to make things new by having Kevin not only be friends with the car character but be [[LoveImbuesLife straight up in love with and even sexually intimate with it]].
!!Dungeons & Dragnet
* If the title didn't already give it away, this whole episode pays tribute to Black and O'Guin's favorite childhood method of protecting their virginities 'til college, TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons.
** A blink-and-you'll-miss-it moment during the theme song in this episode only, shows that in the background, the sign that normally reads "Paradise Police Department" has now been replaced with "We Love You Creator/GaryGygax!".
!!Meet the Jabowskis
* Fitz and Bullet's sideplot, where they fight over a [[MacGuffin briefcase full of money]] slightly resembles Film/ItsAMadMadMadMadWorld, but it may or may not have been intentional.
* During the bar scene at Possum Pete's, one of the toys in the claw machine in the background is a Squabbit from Black and O'Guin's own, WesternAnimation/{{Brickleberry}}.
!!Police Academy
* Hancock makes a clever and witty reference to Music/TheBeatles, by [[Music/SgtPeppersLonelyHeartsClubBand asking his police sergeant for pepper spray]].
* A new menu item at Arby's is called the "Meat Spin". If you don't know what that is, go look it up.
!!Task Force
* TBA
!!Parent Trap
* When Dusty embraces his new Native American identity, he sings the infamous [[RegionalRiff Indian tune]]. You know the one.
* Dusty in his Indian garb, crying over a litterbug throwing a half-eaten cheeseburger on the ground, is an on-the-nose reference to the iconic crying Indian, "Chief Iron Eyes Cody", crying in his famous "Keep America Beautiful" PSA.
-->'''Dusty''': I could have eaten the rest of that cheeseburger.
!!Christmas in Paradise
