* UnintentionalPeriodPiece: While the show has a semi-gentrified aesthetic that could date it badly, there are a few moments that stand out as very 2010s:
** In a Season 1 episode, Lincoln tells a gay character, "I'm not getting married until everyone can get married," dating it to before 2015.
** The montage in the first episode of Season 3 features Abbi wearing a white and gold dress at the same time as Ilana wearing a blue and black dress, referencing the meme from 2015.
** A Season 3 episode shows Ilana temporarily working at Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign headquarters, instantly dating the episode to 2015/2016.
** A couple of episodes in Season 4 immediately date to 2017: Ilana gets upset when she has to remove her impractical Obama-themed nails ("It's like they're leaving office all over again!") and realizes in a later episode that she hasn't been able to have an orgasm since Trump was elected. And [[TakeThat Trump's name is censored every time it's spoken aloud]] for the entire season.

What's an "add"...?


** In "Pu$$y Weed," Ilana begins to have sex with Lincoln while Abbi is lying on the floor stoned, and [[ThreesomeSubtext she keeps putting her hand on Abbi's add while making out with Lincoln]].

Probably more examples but I only just started the show, though I don't know how much of it is unintentional subtext as Ilana is canonically queer.

* MemeticMutation: While it's [[OlderThanTheyThink been around before the show aired]], ''Broad City'' certainly did help bring "Yas queen!" to the mainstream lexicon.
