Bohack

  • When Dr. Venture is talking to Brock via wrist communicator, he says, "While you're on your little vacation, me and my hotcha new bodyguard will be skipping down to the Bohacks, thank you." Bohack (full company name "H.C. Bohack", sometimes informally referred to as "Bohack's") was a chain of grocery stores located in the New York City area.

Chinatown(1974)

  • When Brock is slapping Dr. Vulcano at the end, it is a reference to the "My Sister, My Daughter" scene from the 1974 film Chinatown.

Danica Patrick

Hunter-gatherers

  • A hunter-gatherer is a human living in a society in which most or all food is obtained by foraging (collecting wild plants and pursuing wild animals). Hunter-gatherer societies stand in contrast to agricultural societies, which rely mainly on domesticated species.

The Doors

  • Hank's drug induced murder attempt against Dr. Venture is a reference to The Doors' song "The End", with scenes featuring similar musical flair as well as animation and dialogue that is strikingly close to the lyrical monologue of Jim Morrison.

The Karate Kid (1984)

Toilet Paper

  • After a trip to the market, Molotov is seen stuffing multiple rolls of toilet paper into her suitcase. This may be a reference to the commonly held image of shortages of basic consumer goods in Russia during the Soviet era, implying that Molotov has bought toilet paper to take home with her.

Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory (1971)
