''Nineteen Eighty-Four'' is mentioned twice during the run of the series. It is one of the novels offered as part of [[Timothy O'Neill|Mr. O’Neill]]’s reading assignment in "[[Write Where It Hurts]]."

In [[The Angst Guy]]'s [[Daria 2007: The Girl from Hope]], Daria calls the school-supplied electronics that only used school programming that cannot be altered "goodthink," and [[Jane Lane|Jane]] catches the reference. In "[[Darkness]]," by the same author, an unsubtle comparison is made between the theocratic American government and Orwell's totalitarian state with the appearance of a billboard showing the solemn face of Christ, with the legend, "JESUS IS WATCHING YOU."
