Four women are sitting at the same table from the movie, and they start to take turns "playing the Meg Ryan part."

• Big Mouth: The episode "My Big Furry Valentine" features a number of shout outs to the movie. Particularly scenes involving each of the kids and their hormone monsters discussing how they met on a couch. Later on, Nick shows Connie that "boys can fake one too".

    Brian: That's... better?
  • In "Christmas is Coming", when Meg has her first orgasm while sitting on Santa's lap at the mall.
