I Was Quite a Looker: Flashbacks and photos from The '60s depict Nora's grandparents as a Statuesque Stunner and Mr. Fanservicenote respectively portrayed by Jamie Chung and Simu Liu. Nora can't believe that they looked so "hot" until Grandma shows her their wedding picture. | |

| Awkwafina is Nora from Queens / int_1616e13 | comment |
Ripped from the Headlines: The launch party Edmund and Nora start for their app Scrubr, which targets rich young people, is hastily thought out, poorly executed, expensive, and is later made a laughingstock, is evocative of 2017's Fyre Festival, which became notorious in 2019 following two documentaries about the event. | |

Bilingual Backfire | |
| Awkwafina is Nora from Queens / int_16e362fb | comment |
Bilingual Backfire: While working with a Chinese tech company in China, Nora gets insulted by two local workers who call her a lazy American in Mandarin only for Nora to point out she understands them. What makes it hilarious is they're all Chinese and makes the viewers wonder why would they insult her when she obviously knows the language. | |

Bittersweet Ending | |
| Awkwafina is Nora from Queens / int_40cc0c7e | comment |
Bittersweet Ending: Season 1 ends with Nora getting fired from her high paying job at the Chinese tech company that bought her cousin's app and deported from China after taking the fall for her assistant Grace when the police accused her for possessing drugs left by the other foreign expats. Despite that, Nora is happy to learn that Grace finally got promoted by the company after years of trying, and resolves to finally move out in a more thought-out manner. Season 2 ends with Nora realizing that the compound she is staying at is a fraudulent place filled with people pretending to be cut off from society. She also learns about the COVID-19 virus sweeping the world and rushes to New York to be with Grandma, who is all alone in the house (Wally is staying with Brenda). She succeeds and reunites with her. They stay in quarantine together while playing Zoom games with Wally, Brenda and Edmund. | |

Yellowface: Parodied in season 2, when Nora and Melanie's old schoolfriend Jennifar comes back to Queens to hang out, and insists that they cosplay as the 2000 Charlie's Angels — but also insists that she herself gets to be Lucy Liu, in spite of Nora being the one of the three who is Chinese-American. Jennifar's impersonation of Lucy Liu consists of her wearing a black wig and dotting a few freckles on her face, while Nora is obliged to use talcum powder and Vaseline in order to squeeze into her very tight Cameron Diaz costume. | |

The Comically Serious: Shu Shu's younger self in the flashbacks in 'Grandma & Chill': she has the modest demeanour of a stereoypical mid-20th century young woman from a K-drama but uses the language of a contemporary stoner from Queens—of Nora herself, in fact. | |

Celebrity Paradox | |
| Awkwafina is Nora from Queens / int_7b8b3def | comment |
Celebrity Paradox: Nora references the Marvel Cinematic Universe in the first episode, by crossing her chest with her arms and exclaiming, "Wakanda!" Later in the season, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. co-star Ming-Na Wen portrays Nora's Aunt Sandra. Awkwafina herself later joined the MCU as Katy Chen; whose debut feature also contains characters portrayed by Simu Liu (Garbage Boy in this show, Shang-Chi in the MCU) and Stephanie Hsu (Shu Shu in this show, Soo in the MCU). A character mentions Jurassic Park to Wally, who's played by B.D. Wong, who was in said film. | |

Art Shift: 'Savage Valley' takes on the appearance of an '80s video game when Nora hallucinates monsters to fight in the "Chinese Death Trap". 'Grandma & Chill' becomes a shadow puppet show when Young Grandma's friend Shu Shu explains how she fled China for America. Before Young Grandma tells Shu Shu of her tribulations, the viewer can actually see Shu Shu put the puppets away. Lampshaded by Grandma in her narration: | |

Upper-Class Twit: Nora's grandmother, the daughter of a rich family, portrays her past self as one in 'Grandma & Chill'. As a rich girl, she had little to do other than look out the window and sigh after Garbage Boy, and was relatively unconcerned with political matters. | |

Chastity Couple: Parodied in 'Grandma & Chill'. Because Nora's grandmother is telling the story of how she got with Nora's grandfather as a Korean Drama (where romantic leads rarely do much more than hug and kiss), she and Nora's grandfather only ever kiss without tongue and only hold hands when they spend a night together (although Grandma's description of their hand-holding is innuendo-laden). | |
