29* Ziggy, being modeled after a northern white-faced owl, looks and acts much like Shuko, the {{team pet}} from ''Anime/SoundOfTheSky''. His name could be a reference to either [[Music/DavidBowie Ziggy Stardust]] or Ziggy Marley. Or both.
30* Gus' running animation is identical to [[Anime/CowboyBebop Spike's]].
31* The Mars’ Brightest logo is obviously based on ''The X Factor''.
32* In Episode 4, IDEA is shown watching an episode of ''Anime/SpaceDandy'' for "research purposes".
33* The neon-shaft umbrellas are taken from ''Film/BladeRunner'', which is appropriate since the director also worked on a short for its sequel.
34* Carole and Tuesday get interviewed by a talk show host named Allen, whose logo is remarkably similar to that of Creator/EllenDeGeneres.
35* Desmond is named after legendary pop songwriter Desmond Child.
36* [[https://imgur.com/a/5vubcp6 Gus sticking his head through the door crack when he found Carole and Tuesday's apartment]] looks very similar to the famous "HERE'S JOHNNY!!!" scene from Film/TheShining.
37* [[https://imgur.com/t/steve_aoki/gjhOA6s Steve Aoki gets a cameo in episode 22]].
