Episode 1 - Catwoman: Rebirth
(Part One)
Miyuki: *as Dana* I'm sorry, but the script says that I have to do
this so you can date a bland character. Just ask that Yuki girl; she knows what
it's like.
All: *turns their heads to the audience for a few moments before resuming
their attention to the fic*
Yet another shot at the head writer for the Esaka Destiny "Saga".
(Part Two)
Tails: *as Princess* My life has change forever.
Reference to "Da Princess in da gle club".
Rrrrrrringgg!
Tails: Are we watching "Monster A Go-Go" now?
Miyuki: Sorry, I made that phone noise for the heck of it.
Self explanatory; the terribly done "ringing phone" noise was made fun of here. Miyuki even mirrors Servo's line somewhat to hammer it home.
(Part Four)
Miyuki: And we've reached Esaka Destiny "Saga" levels of random horniness.
Reference to "A Story of Destined Love", specifically that fic's first chapter where Kyo instantly thought that Emi was beautiful.
Tails: Are you two now robots, or is the Nightmare Investigator in this fic now?
Tails is referencing High Max's Japanese name (Hi-Max) from "Megaman X6".
(Part Six)
Miyuki: Sadly, that's one of the more descriptive fights that I've seen. Don't wanna hear about people constantly getting hit in the arm or kicked in the chest.
Callbacks to "Sabrina's Adventure" with the arm bits, and "The Final Struggle" with the chest bits.
Miyuki: We haven't learned anything from Kyo punching that mirror, huh?
A reference to the last chapter of "Kusanagi's Wrath".
(Part Seven)
Miyuki: I think she found Eleanor Abernathy's room.
Don't know who she is? She's better known as the "Crazy Cat Lady" from "The Simpsons".
(Part Nine)
Akiko: Another full moon that shouldn't be there, probably?
Miyuki: That full moon's been up for three straight weeks!
Reference to the MST3K episode, "Werewolf".
(Part Eleven)
Akiko: Well, she did it better than Officer Barrel Roll.
Reference to the infamous barrel roll that a police officer performed in McKinney, Texas. (He's since resigned.)
Miyuki: If you find Emi in one of those warehouses, let Kyo know about it. He's still looking for her.
Yet another jab at the Esaka Destiny "Saga".
(Part Twelve)
Tails: Trump supporters... or fans of Judith Miller.
Akiko, Miyuki, Tomoko: Who?
Tails: Exactly.
A journalist (use "journalist" loosely). She was most well known for her The New York Times piece where she claimed that Iraq had "Weapons of Mass Destruction". That was later debunked.
Episode 2 - The Tekken Relations
Tomoko: This dumbass does not know anything about her body, does
she?
Miyuki: For that matter, she probably doesn't know anything about
biology, either.
Tails: Oh, so she's Todd Akin?
Akiko, Miyuki, Tomoko: *stares at Tails*
Tails: *shrugs as he begins browsing on his Miles Electric* I have no
regrets for my riff.
Two words: "Legitimate rape". That's the foot-in-mouth statement that cost Todd Akin his run in the 2012 Missouri Senate election.
Tomoko: I think we were spared, Fujiwara. Because I did not want to hear any versions of "he put his thingie into my you-know-what".
Reference to the infamous Harry Potter fanfic "My Immortal".
Akiko: Because that's what we needed comparisons to! Sex and little
girls! *shudders*
Tomoko: Did we stop at a nearby Subway?
Tails, Miyuki: *gasps*
Tomoko: What?
Oh, dear. A reference to Subway's former pitchman, who has been charged with child pornography.
