When confronting dumbfounded juvenile delinquents with a paint ball gun Veronica channels Jules Winnfield from Pulp Fiction (1994), repeating his remark to a likewise dumbfounded Brett: "Say 'what' again. I dare you. I double dare you!" Of course Veronica does not recite the maternal-expletive at the end of Jules' original speech.
Piz (Chris Lowell) describes the film The Room (2003) to Wallace (Percy Daggs III) while walking down the hall in their dorm, saying "It's like the new Rocky Horror. Now at one point, people throw plastic spoons at the screen.... You have to check it out. It'll... it'll change your life."
Veronica (Kristen Bell) quotes from Pulp Fiction (1994) when aiming the paintball gun at the vandals: "Say 'what' again, I dare you. I double dare you" and "Check out the big brain on Brad!"

Veronica (Kristen Bell) makes a reference to the space elevator mentioned in episode 2.20, Veronica Mars: Look Who's Stalking (2006)..
Veronica (Kristen Bell) addresses one of the kids as Towelie. Towelie is a character from South Park (1997) who smokes large amounts of marijuana.
Piz (Chris Lowell) misses a Yo La Tengo concert so he can go to Parker's (Julie Gonzalo) party.
The title of this episode is a play on words from the George Lucas film American Graffiti (1973).
Dick's MySpace quote of "The Dude Abides" is a quote from the (often referenced in the series) movie The Big Lebowski (1998).
When Veronica says she'll go to Parker's party "if [she] must" and Mac replies "you must, you must!", this is a reference to the lines spoken by Gene Wilder (Jim) and Cleavon Little (Bart), in the 1974 movie Der wilde wilde Westen (1974).
Adam Rose (Max) also appeared in an iZombie (2015) episode, iZombie: Grumpy Old Liv (2015). Rob Thomas created both Veronica Mars and iZombie.
The video game the four boys are playing before Veronica (Kristen Bell) shoots their TV with a paintball gun is "Gears of War" for the Xbox 360, a third-person shooter set in a post-apocalyptic future.
