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.
