Episode 3 - Why Most Twilight Fans Kinda Suck

Thats so horrible that they like get turned on by killing people.
James: *giggles while he is holding his copy of "GoldenEye"*

It's a reference to the one scene that just about everyone remembers in that film... in which Xenia Onatopp achieved orgasm while murdering an admiral. (To a lesser extent, James may also be referencing a scene in which she murders a slew of people in Siberia, which caused her to become aroused by it.)

James: She wouldn't be saying that if she met Andrew Luster.

Andrew Luster is an heir to the Max Factor fortune (great-great grandson of Max Factor Sr.) He was convicted of a series of rapes, and after trying to evade capture, he was sentenced to serve 124 years in prison.

James: That's a lucky fluke. Stephenie Meyer's a twit who wouldn't know the meaning of research if it elbowed her Ron Artest style.

A reference to a match between the Los Angeles Lakers and the Oklahoma City Thunder (during the 2012 NBA Playoffs), in which the person in question (actually, he legally changed his name to "Metta World Peace"... yes, it is very ironic) elbowed the living daylights out of James Harden.

Episode 4 - Purely Stupid

(Part One)

Jessie: "Cullenism". That is all.

Jessie's referring to a "religion" that was based off of the "Twilight" series.

The third type is generally decent, but gives out such conflicting messages that you need telepathic skills to work out what they're about.
Jessie: *stares at the screen* Woman, read the articles that I've riffed with my group, and come back to me. Until then, shut your mouth, open your tiny brain, and learn the definition of "people".

Call back to certain Black Crow articles. One that stands out might be the second article in the "All Men Apparently Suck" riffing.

Episode 5 - How a Spark Becomes a Flame

(Part One)

Axl: *as Athena* Don't forget that good school with the infamous witchcraft club.
Kyo: *as Yuki* ...that's exactly why I came to this area. I heard too many unpleasant stories about that.

A reference to "Bible Black", of all things.

Kyo? Is that his name?
James: *dryly* No, his name is Bob.

In reference to what the "Tekken" fanbase used to nickname Hwoarang... "BoB" or "Boy on Bike" because they couldn't pronounce his name. He's now nicknamed "Bob #1" due to there being an actual character named Bob now.

Axl: Well, at least he isn't driving a Volkswagen.

Reference to the emissions scandal of 2015.

Mai: *as Yuki* I want to believe, Athena!

Obvious "The X-Files" reference.

Axl: *as Athena* You'll have to watch the 2008 Detroit Lions games. Yes, all of them.
Kyo: Well... damn. I'm glad that you're not Athena, Spikes.

Reference to said team's 0-16 season.

James: No, no, being a babysitter only applies when you're dealing with the House of Representatives!

Reference to the period in October 2015 where there were plenty of jokes made about the Republican controlled House after the Speaker resigned.

Rory: And there were no rooftop sales to boot? Man, I wanted to get that giant tire, too!

In reference to the Lilycove City rooftop sales (Pokemon Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald and their remakes). Come get a big ol' tire!

(Part Two)

And it was only then that Kyo stopped from his rage. It was odd; it's as if he wasn't in control of himself. Like, he was a totally different person for a moment.
Axl: You mean that Kusanagi didn't possess him like a marionette?
Kyo: Not this time, Spikes.

Reference to "The Final Struggle".

(Part Three)

Axl: Hey, watch out for this hedgehog that has a Chaos Emerald. He's jolly stomping the jungle gym.

Reference to "Sabrina's Adventure 2: Return of Sabrina", where Sabre uses his ultimate powers to... wreck a playground.

(Part Five)

James: *singing* Cut my life into pieces...

Reference to Papa Roach's "Last Resort".
