    Liv: Must... Take... Selfie...

Chapter 3: Cat-astrophe

  • Liv asks the pet rental employees whether they have any of the “lizard-cat thingies” she saw earlier. The manager asks if she means “street mutants” and bluntly tells her no, as they’re disgusting. Liv apologizes for asking.

Chapter 4: Dead or Alive

  • Liv’s over-the-top plan for infiltrating the morgue. It’s punctuated throughout with chops, kicks, and her cat swinging around from the motion of said movements.
    Liv: We’ll wait by the loading dock. Disable all the security cams – Knock out the guards with our secret kung-fu karate moves. Steal their uniformsGo in undercover – And defeat whatever bad guys we see on the way Ninja-style! Then we just steal a “Uni-zone” watch off a dead guy and get the heck out!

Chapter 5: Identity Theft

  • After Liv’s idea to get into the morgue gets shot down by Alix, he says he has an idea. Cut to them walking through the front door and telling the receptionist they’re there to deliver a pet to an employee. The narration during the scene transition sells it:
    Narrator: Contrary to a sneaky, covert operation, Liv and Alix just... waltz in through the front door.

Liv's Instagram/Tumblr

  • Instead of buying college textbooks, Liv decides to order a ten-pound bag of gummy worms off Amazon.
  • The Coca-Cola ad in the bus stop reduces advertising to its simplest form.
    Here's Coke.
    It's certainly a beverage
    Soda. Drink.
    Consume. Good.
    Just fucking buy it.
  • Vending machines in the year 3000 contain drinks such as Cigarette Juice, Blood of the Enemy, and Sprite for Babies.
  • The rent-a-pet shop has a poster claiming that pets can help distract people from modern issues. The examples the poster provides are "acid rain, levitating objects, and randomly spawning demons."
  • In a mirror of then-current events, there's a toilet paper shortage. It's caused by toilet paper-eating creatures from another dimension infesting local stores.
  • One post has a voice-acted commercial for a cereal called Dreamy-O's. One of the endorsements is by assassin Blanca Prez, who was last seen chasing Liv in a government facility. The commercial cuts to her giving a thumbs-up as an audible “ding!” noise plays.
  • One of Alix's neighbors is a giant Ring-Necked Parakeet.
  • When the new year arrives, Mr. Prez decides to keep the year as 3000 because he likes the way it sounds.
  • At one point, Alix and Liv go out to eat and get fortune cookies. Alix's fortune is the generic "Good fortune is on the horizon". What does Liv's fortune say?
  • More surreal future drinks are seen when Liv goes out to buy Alix his favorite soda. In addition to the previously mentioned beverages, the cold case has Pepsi-branded meat drippings, Fizzy Horse Tears, and bottles labeled "Bees?"
  • Liv finds some glowing radioactive mice. They live behind Alix's stove in a tiny apartment and even have a stove of their own.
  • The newspaper with a picture of the girl whose identity Liv stole has a column titled "Minor News That's Totally Not Important".
  • While Liv's looking up Alix in some orphanage records, Gunnar can be seen in the background reading a book with the title of ''How to Impress People with Your Giant Muscles''.
  • New Year's arrives again... and Mr. Prez decides to call the new year 3000 again.
  • Gunnar borrows Liv's phone to ask the followers in the past for help with his history homework. The two multiple-choice questions seen both have "Mr. Prez is our savior" as a possible answer.

Other

  • The group Unanimous Girth has an album uploaded on music streaming services by Liv. Their bio contains a few gems:
    • The lineup consists of a small bird who writes and mixes their songs, someone in a coma whose vocals are extracted cerebrally, and a computer that composes the music.
    • The group used excerpts from a movie called “Dr. Canlopper” with permission by the film studio that produced it. They also used excerpts from President Starbadge Longneck’s “Balcony Hawks” speech without permission.
