Season two, episode fifteen (Cooter) – turtle is mentioned in the dialogue, one character says that part of his nickname, cooter, he got because he looks like a turtle (and the word is the name of one species of turtle). In another scene, on the door behind one of the characters, you can see a drawing of a turtle.
– He gave you two nicknames?
– “Cooter” because I look like a turtle and “berger” because he saw me eating a hamburger one time.

Season six, episode nine (Leap Day) – a turtle is mentioned in the dialogue.
– Thad’s been in his little nerd world for so long and now he’s peeping out of his shell like a… um, oh, what’s that animal? You know, the one that crosses so slowly across the road and then you swerve to make sure you hit it and then a car coming the other way swerves to avoid you and goes off a cliff. And then that night you and your companion have the greatest sex of your lives because you’re both sharing a secret.
– It’s a turtle, Jenna.
– Yes, he’s a turtle. And he’s coming out of his shell for the first time. And when he does, he’s gonna see this.

I have to break it off with a woman I’m seeing. I found out I’m just an aging Squirtle in her Pokemon.

– Well, can I get you anything… Chickpeas, moonshine, turtle meat? I’m good.
