- Memetic Mutation: Gloria Upson's botched anecdote about ping-pong has spawned a number of references in other media in which characters deliver the Orphaned Punchline "... and she stepped on the ball!" These include Trading Places, Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt and Billions.
- Signature Scene: Gloria's poorly received anecdote about when she "stepped on the ping pong ball" was famously referenced in Trading Places as an Orphaned Punchline, which has itself been referenced in a range of other works.
