3* The fact that Deb was a contestant on ''Series/{{Survivor}}'' is brought up repeatedly, and at one point even shown in flashback.
4
5[[AC: Episode 2: Deb's BBQ]]
6* The climactic monologue from ''Film/MyCousinVinny'' is the answer to the final security question.
7
8[[AC: Episode 3: Backache Mountain]]
9* The episode title and the character of Ennis are a Shout Out to ''Film/BrokebackMountain''.
10* While flying to Wyoming, Twink naturally dresses up as the sexy stewardess portrayed by Music/BritneySpears in her ''Toxic'' music video.
11* Twink (without any real knowledge of the movie or the actual person) poses as "reporter" ''Film/ErinBrockovich''.
12
13[[AC: Episode 4: [=EuropeVision=]]]
14* The episode is based on the ''Series/EurovisionSongContest''.
15* Wondering if he's expected to swallow a giant prawn as part of a Gyenorvyan "toast", Twink asks if this is like his audition for ''Series/TeenWolf''. Series creator Jeff Davis is gay and there was often a lot of fan speculation that he had a CastingCouch for all the many MrFanservice guys that appeared on the show.
16* Princess Mira of Gyenorvya is a direct lift from Princess Mia and ''Film/ThePrincessDiaries'':
17** "Shut. Up!"
18** She also mentions having slept with Creator/ChrisPine.
19
20[[AC: Episode 5: [=WeHo Confidential=]]]
21* The episode title is a reference to ''Film/LaConfidential''.
22* Chasten Barkley makes an offhand comment about blood plasma taken from an orphan as being one of the secrets to his appearance. This seems to be a reference to urban legends that real life tech billionaire Peter Thiel gets blood plasma from younger men as a part of a LongevityTreatment.
23* In a flashback to his younger self drunk and wallowing with Chasten in a bar, Mary makes a direct reference to ''Franchise/JamesBond''.
24
25[[AC: Episode 6: The Secretaries' Ball]]
26* When he finds himself standing on a floating invisible drone at Chunley's all-male party at Intellicon, Mary says that he feels like Jasmine...er...''WesternAnimation/{{Aladdin}}''. This would not be his last Shout Out to a ''Creator/{{Disney}}'' property.
27
28[[AC: Episode 7: Tarzana]]
29* Mary, and V, perform [[Music/MeatLoaf Meat Loaf's]] "I'd Do Anything For Love (But I Won't Do That)" in a karaoke bar.
30
31[[AC: Episode 8: Greyscale]]
32* Creator/JaneLynch voices a character, Judy, who is a former AIA agent and dead ringer for Sue Sylvester from ''Series/{{Glee}}''. Which is a double Shout Out because in-show Sue always used to claim that she had a background in espionage.
33* Trying to make contact with [[SilverFox Andrew]], one of the greyscaled AIA agents living in Palm Springs, Mary compares him to King Triton from ''WesternAnimation/TheLittleMermaid1989'' who he admits he had a sexual thing for as a kid. Andrew similarly confesses to having had a similar childhood thing for the fox hero in ''WesternAnimation/RobinHood1973''.
34
35[[AC: Episode 9: The Coeur de la Mer]]
36* Caryn, having been living off the grid for decades, asks the squad if ''Series/{{ALF}}'' is still around.
37* The Coeur de la Mer, the eponymous AIA top secret mainframe, is French for "Heart of the Ocean". When the team finally arrives at the Coeur it resembles a giant blue heart-shaped gem, like the necklace of the same name from ''Film/Titanic1997''.
38
39[[AC: Episode 10: The Hole]]
40* The TriggerPhrase to deactivate Project Grayscale is "Creator/DebraWinger has been in enough movies."
