''[[Twin Peaks]]'' is a mystery drama TV series, co-created by Lynch, that ran in 1990 and 1991. It spawned a prequel film, ''[[Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me]]'' in 1992, and aired a [[Twin Peaks (season 3)|revival season]] in 2017. The series was well-known for its surrealism and offbeat humor.

* [[Strong Sad's Lament]] — For his post on March 13, 2003, Strong Sad is listening to the [[Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me (soundtrack)|Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me soundtrack]].
* [[3 Times Halloween Funjob]] — [[Marzipan]] dresses up as the [[Log Lady]], an eccentric woman who carries around a log.
* [[Sbemail 150?!?]] and Email [[alternate universe]] — The surreal [[Coach Z]] idea, which later appeared as an Easter egg in "alternate universe", is an homage to a famous scene from [[Episode 29 (Twin Peaks)|the twenty-ninth episode]] of the show.
** The scene took place in <span class="plainlinks">[[Red room|a red-draped room]]</span>.
** Leading character [[Dale Cooper]] spills [[Coffee|coffee]] on himself, represented here by Coach Z's streaming hat of coffee.
** The unusual speech used by [[Homestar Runner]] in [[alternate universe]] is "reverse-speak", as seen in the show: the actors actually spoke their dialogue backwards, and the recording was then played in reverse. This resulted in the dialogue ultimately being understandable (though subtitles were still used) but having an unusual, contorted sound to them (just as Homestar sounds). It seems as though [[Matt Chapman]] faked this technique, rather than actually recording his lines backwards.
** The phrase "I'm not at liberty to discuss [...]" is a direct lift from the lines of Major Garland Briggs, a character who is often unable to talk about what he does for a living.
* [[DNA Evidence]] —
** The opening soundtrack — a mixture of ambient synthesizers and snappy jazz cues — is reminiscent of the [[Music of Twin Peaks|music of Twin Peaks]].
** The ending montage in which Strong Sad laughs maniacally and appears in a window, on a roof, and behind the cleaning supplies is a reference to Killer BOB, the mysterious antagonist of ''Twin Peaks''. The character was created because of a happy accident in which crew member Frank Silva was caught in frame during shooting of the pilot, thus explaining the unwieldy positions in which Strong Sad appears.
* Email [[underlings]] — The ''Stink's Reach'' promo parodies the opening of ''Twin Peaks''.
* Email [[fan club]] ([[fan club|DVD commentary]]) — [[Matt Chapman]] attempts to rapidly switch between two character voices at once, resulting in strange-sounding speech. [[Mike Chapman]] remarks that Matt sounds like [[The Man from Another Place]]'s distinctive reverse-speech.
* [[Haunted Photo Booth]] —
** [[Strong Bad]] [[Haunted Photo Booth Costumes|dresses up as]] BOB. He repeats the line "How's Annie?" from [[Episode 29 (Twin Peaks)|the ending of the show's original run]].
** [[Homsar]] appears as The Man From Another Place in an Easter egg, again featuring the red-draped background and talking in reverse-speak.
* [[Halloween Hide & Seek]] (introduced in v2.0) — When [[Halloween Hide & Seek Responses|asked about Homsar's whereabouts]], Strong Sad sings a relevant fragment of the song "<span class="plainlinks">[[Sycamore Trees]]</span>". Homestar thanks him for the "<span class="plainlinks">[[Garmonbozia|garmonbozia]]</span>", then briefly talks in reverse-speak.

* The term "[[Lynchian]]" (describing surreal, dreamlike works relating to or evocative of David Lynch) is used on occasion:
** [[Sbemail 150?!?]] — Strong Sad describes his storyboards as "Lynchian" due to its ''Twin Peaks'' influences (discussed above).
** [[boring (really)]] ([[boring (really)|DVD commentary]]) — Matt describes a visually jarring shot as "very David Lynchian" and suggests that Strong Sad would like it.
* [[The House That Gave Sucky Tricks]] — The Poopsmith [[The House That Gave Sucky Tricks Costumes|dresses up as]] Feyd-Rautha, as portrayed by [[Sting (musician)|Sting]] in Lynch's [[Dune (1984 film)|1984 film adaptation of Dune]].
* [[Later That Night...]] — [[The Cheat]] [[Later That Night... Costumes|dresses up as]] the titular dog from Lynch's comic [[The Angriest Dog in the World]].
