Lady gaga uses a similar font to the film Jackie brown

"Batman": Classic '60s-era TV series starring Adam West — animated "Smack!" and "Wroom!"

graphics call to mind the Dark Knight's "Pow!" and "Zonk!"-assisted fight sequences.

Captain America & Wonder Woman: Iconic crime-fighting comic book superheroes. Beyoncé's stars-and-stripes uniform during her post-murder-spree dance-sequence riff on the Captain's color scheme

and the Woman's silhouette.

Diet Coke: Refreshing, sugar-free carbonated beverage, dangerous when coupled with Mentos. Doubles as Gaga's impromptu hair-curlers during

video's "catfight" sequence.

Doom: English crust-punk band that burned brightly from 1987-1990, faded away, then reformed this year. Their logo

is visible on Gaga's studded leather jacket during same sequence.

Double-Breasted Drive-Thru: Logo seen on cup in Beyoncé's P---y Wagon. Does not actually exist, though it could be a

reference to the "Double D's Drive-Thru" made (somewhat) famous on FunnyOrDie.com.

Germanotta, Natali: Gaga's younger sister. Looks eerily similar to pre-The Fame Gaga. Also looks eerily like a de-

thawed Snooki. Appears in the video's prison scenes.

Hermaphrodite: Rumors that Gaga was a hermaphrodite were widespread in 2009. They

are jokingly referenced by one of the prison guards who, after stripping Gaga in her jail cell,

remarks, "I told you she didn't have a d---."

"High and Dry": Single off Radiohead's 1995 album The Bends. Two videos were filmed for

the song, one of which is set in a diner very similar to the one in "Telephone." The fact that death (and contemplative drinking of coffee) is

involved in both is also noteworthy.LaChapelle, David: Photographer/director whose hyper-saturated work is clearly a touchstone for much of the video, particularly the scenes that feature Gaga wrapped in electric-yellow police

tape.

"Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels": Guy Ritchie's stylized take on the crime genre. The quick-cutting, sound

effect-heavy diner murder scene is vintage Ritchie.
