History Trivia / SpyVsSpy

** A quick blackout segment on an episode of ''WesternAnimation/RobotChicken'', where the White Spy sets up a spring-loaded boxing glove in a vending machine. [[WhyDontYouJustShootHim The Black Spy just walks up behind him and shoots him in the head]] to steal his documents.
** A brief sketch in the aforementioned ''Robot Chicken'' has Black Spy torturing White Spy a la ''Film/CasinoRoyale2006''.
** A brief gag in ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'', in which both Spies are sitting peacefully on a couch together and bluntly say that they've resolved their differences.

* CompletelyDifferentTitle: Strangely enough Spy vs Spy is known as "X&Y" (Sometimes X vs Y) in Sweden where the spies did had names on their own although the comic is still kept in silent. The title is a NameAndName title where the white spy is known as X, black spy is called Y and grey spy is named Z. It's unknown why its decided to change the title in Sweden but it was fairly common to change foreign titles for swedish releases.

* FanNickname: While many fans just refer to the spies as Black and White, respectively, in some fanfictions, the black spy is named either "Cloak" or "Joke," and the white spy is "Dagger." This is likely in reference to Mad Magazine's consistent labeling of the strip as "From the Joke and Dagger Dept.", a running gag that has carried on to the title pages of various ''Spy vs. Spy'' collections.
