• Corporate Evil: The employee orientation video at the start of the episode mentions several corporate clients. Yoyodyne was originally a fictional defense contractor in Thomas Pynchon's novels, but was made famous as the corporate front for the alien villains in the film Buckaroo Banzai. Weyland-Yutani is the ruthless megacorporation from the Alien series of movies. Finally, News Corp., the only real company mentioned, is the parent of 20th Century Fox, the producers of Angel.

Narrator: ... Wolfram & Hart has put roots down into this glamorous city that grow deep, and branches that reach right into the heart of every major corporation, including Yoyodyne, Weyland-Yutani, and News Corp.

• Shaq: Shaquille O'Neal is a basketball player who famously played center for the Los Angeles Lakers when this episode was written. O'Neal has won four NBA championships, but is most notable for his size; Shaq is seven feet tall and weighs 325 pounds.

Dan: They're from Lorne. Actually from Shaq, but Lorne's declared his office a carb-free zone.

• Dixie Chicks: The Dixie Chicks are an all female country music trio that hails from Fred's native Texas. In a previous episode, Fred was shown putting up a poster of the group in her office.

Fred: Anyway, if you want to hang out again sometime, we could grab some wine, jam to the Dixie Chicks.
