Influence[]

The show seems to parody many police and crime reality shows, such as World's Wildest Police Videos and Gangland.

At one point, a man is holding up a sign that reads "Down with this sort of thing", which is a reference to a similar scene in the Irish sitcom Father Ted.

Trivia[]

  • When starting The Podium Robbery in Grand Theft Auto Online, Jamal Amir may mention that the car the player is tasked to steal was featured on The Underbelly of Paradise for holding the record for the highest number of DUIs.
