- Burobu (ブロブ) trading cards are based on the trading card games of Japanese media franchises including Pokémon and Yu-Gi-Oh!. Tina also asks if Burobu is like Pokémon but with slugs and the end credits song is based on the Pokémon theme song. Burobu means 'blob' in Japanese.
- There are 21 different kinds of Burobu featured, they are listed on the right.

- When chewing Tina, Linda tells her "you never go against the family" in a threatening tone, to which Bob says 'easy, Don Corleone", this is a reference to The Godfather films, in a scene where Michael tells his brother Fredo " you're my older brother, and I love you, but don't ever take sides with anyone against the family again, ever."
- Rudy mentions that one of the bootleg Burobu cards Louise traded with him had a Minion on it, referring to the characters from the Despicable Me film series.
