Dr. Venture: That’s it, just like that. Easy! Pull back a bit. God, you’re right on top of me!
Brock: Can’t help it. It’s.. it’s stiff, Doc. Maybe I should lube thing thin up before we take it down there.
Dr. Venture: It’ll be fine. It’s not built for speed, it’s build for deep penetration.
Brock: All right, that’s it. you promised no penetration jokes.
| Dr. Orpheus: And you’re certain they haven’t simply… stepped out? They have been known to engage in impromptu derring-do from time to time.

| Jefferson Twilight: Damn it, Orpheus. I almost had that bloodsucker. Ow! Now I got the blue balls in my Blood Eye.
Dr. Orpheus: My apologies, old friend. But the Order of the Triad is in ne… what are you doing in… is this London?

| The Alchemist: Well, I don’t detect any astral rifts, temporal anomalies, or ectoplasmic residue.
Jefferson Twilight: And they haven’t been taken by blaculas, although I’m not prepared to rule out Caucasian vampires.
| Dr. Orpheus: The boys have very… active imaginations. They’re given to… flights of fantasy.
The Alchemist: Yes, the little imps have certainly skylarked us into quite a mare’s nest this time
Jefferson Twilight: The skinny one thinkin’ he has a shot with his daughter—now that’s an active imagination.
| Dr. Orpheus: I will shine the Light of Thelos.
The Alchemist: I’ll cast a spell of unveiling.
Jefferson Twilight: I’ll um… check for blaculas. Nope, no blaculas.
| Dr. Orpheus: Join hands, Triad! Our bond is our strength!
The Alchemist: Geez, Jefferson, you ever hear of Jergens? I told you, I’m not into rough trade.
Jefferson Twilight: The leather hilts on my blacula blades--they chap, man.
Dr. Orpheus: Gentlemen!
Jefferson Twilight and Alchemist: Right.
| Dr. Orpheus: The air is thick with psychic residue.
The Alchemist: I can still smell the brimstone.
Dr. Orpheus: No, I think that’s sulfur.
Dean: No, I think that’s Mr. Jefferson.
Jefferson Twilight: Yeah, I’m gonna need--they, you got any pants. Like… extra pants?
| Dr. Venture: Now come down here and get me!
Brock: I can’t. I’m trapped, Doc.
Dr. Venture: Look, we can talk about your psychological problems later. Take a Valium and get over yourself.

The attire worn by most, if not all the characters that where trapped and lived under the Venture Compound are past upon attire worn on the music videos of the late 70's and 80's till the mid 90's. The Most noticeable of the spoofs and imitations are list bellow:

The Keith Flint impersonator also has green hair and a tongue piercing. Also wears the same American flag (Capetian America) shirt.
- The second notable charterer spoof was that of the three members of the group "Art Of Noise" with a young girl dressed "Punk Rock-ish". This referencing the first music video of Close (to the Edit). The three lead group members in that music video and on the episode all have the same different tools as there counterparts. A saw, a tube and built cutters.
