Sam: I’m not Scully, you’re Scully.
Dean: No, I’m Mulder. You’re a red-headed woman.
| Detective Ballard: Thought you might be thirsty.
Sam: Okay, so you're the good cop. Where's the bad cop?
Detective Ballard: Oh, he's with your brother.
| Dean: Need a break? So soon? You might wanna get your prostate checked.

Episode Title: The Usual Suspects
The title of the episode shares the same title as the 1995 Christopher McQuarrie film about a man who tells a long, twisted story to police interrogators about a massacre and massive fire that took place in Los Angeles.
| Dean: Does she look familiar to you?
Sam: No, why?
Dean: I don't know. Anyway, are you hungry?
Sam: No.
Dean: For some reason, I could really go for some pea soup.
Dean's comments break the proscenium, since they refer to the 1973 movie The Exorcist, a film that starred Linda Blair as the demon possessed child Regan MacNeil. Linda Blair played Detective Ballard in this episode, which perhaps not coincidentally features a threat that is not supernatural at all - the supernatural force here attempts to aid the victims of a very human killer.
| Matlock
Dean and Sam, in separate conversations, refer to their public defender as "Matlock." Benjamin Matlock was a defense attorney portrayed by Andy Griffith on Matlock. Matlock was an expensive attorney, but since he always got his clients acquitted (usually in the grand Perry Mason style of proving who actually committed the crime) he was well worth the money. The form of address is certainly mockery, since many public defenders are green or incompetent (or sometimes both) - the antithesis of Matlock's experience and skill.
| Scully and Mulder
Dean razzes Sam by calling him Scully. Scully and Mulder were a pair of FBI agents assigned to the "X-Files" division of the FBI. Like Sam and Dean, they investigated strange and outre happenings, although Scully usually provided a skeptical counterpoint to Mulder's willingness to believe. Sam and Dean are both aware that that creatures they hunt are very real. Scully and Mulder's adventures were recounted in the television series called, perhaps not surprisingly, The X-Files.
| Dean: I'm not joking, Ponch.
In the 1970s series CHiPS, Erik Estrada's character, Officer Francis L. Poncherello, is nicknamed "Ponch".
| Dean: You remember "redrum."
In The Shining, Danny writes word murder as "redrum".
| Jim Rockford
Sam and Dean sign into the motel as Jim Rockford. Jim Rockford is the title character and Private Eye from the 1970s television series The Rockford Files.
