A scene in a fictional supermarket 'Cloud 9' is featured. The same supermarket is the primary setting for the workplace comedy Superstore (2015). Both shows are produced by NBC Universal.
In one scene, Mindy wears a pair of Dartmouth shorts and mentions that she borrowed them. In reality, Dartmouth University is where Mindy Kaling went to school.
While Mindy is at Peter's house, Mindy finds a chicken nugget in her pocket. Peter asks her to "beer me" a nugget. The phrase "beer me" was created on the episode Product Recall (2007) of The Office, which starred Mindy Kaling.
