However, the Red Owl's inclusion in Season 3 was done probably just as a reference to the movie and as a treat for viewers in the Upper Midwest.

* Early on, Emmit and Sy make vague references to "Stan Grossman", a lesser-known character (and trope) of the ''Fargo'' franchise. Givent that they are set in the same universe, and the interests of a used car business and a parking lot business would intersect, it's highly likely that the Stan to whom they refer is one and the same as the Stan from ''Film/{{Fargo}}''. Previous examples of Grossman are:
** In the original movie, he frustrates Jerry Lundergaard's attempt at profiting from a new business opportunity for their used car dealership, telling him "we're not a bank" and unwittingly pushing the plot further towards Jerry's bungled attempt at a fake kidnapping.
** The name was later used in LittleMissSunshine, as an homage to the movie: as in Fargo, Stan (played this time by Bryan Cranston) exists to frustrate Richard Hoover from getting his self-help programme of the ground, and this similarly leads to a new desperation on behalf of the main characters.
** Later, in Fargo Season 1, Lorne Malvo briefly uses the name 'Lloyd Grossman: he calls the elder Hess child, posing as their family's lawyer, to falsely inform him that his late father has left everything to his younger twin brother, in order to set a rivalry between them. Unlike the other two Grossmans, this one is an act of deliberate malice on Malvo's part (as is his nature) rather than it being "just business".
