This line is a meta dig at the fact that Sam and Dean keep coming back from the dead. As Ben Edlund said at [[Comic Con 2010]] "...these creatures, these poor men, cannot die. The cruel universe that will not let them die...That’s TV. TV will not let people die. " | This line is a meta dig at the fact that Sam and Dean keep coming back from the dead.

Trivia & References
The episode title "Slash Fiction" is a play on three references. First it is a reference to the Tarantino movie Pulp Fiction. Slash or slasher refers to a sub-genre of horror movies.
Slash fiction is also the name of a genre of fanfiction which pairs two characters of the same gender in a sexual relationship – see Slash for more information. There are a couple of references in the episode that compare Sam and Dean to a couple - Honey Bunny and Pumpkin from Pulp Fiction, as well as Mr and Mr(s) Smith. And the final scene was one that Jensen mentioned at Salute to Supernatural Chicago 2011 both he and Jared thought made Sam and Dean sound so much like a married couple, so they rewrote a couple of the lines

S.E. Hinton - famous author and Supernatural fan - has a part in the episode. Read Tweets by S.E. Hinton from the set
Bobby: Great. Just what we need — a Mensa Monster.
Mensa is an organization for people who score within the upper two percent of the general population on an approved intelligence test.

Sodium borate, or borax, is a natural occurring boron salt found in the Middle East, South America, North America, and Asia. It is a common chemical used in all manner of products from water softeners to pesticides. At high concentrations it can cause skin irritation in humans.
The robbery of the burger shop in St. Louis by the Leviathans references the diner robbery in Pulp Fiction when the fake Dean jumps up on a table. His line "If anyone moves, I'll execute every last one of you". is the same as Pumpkin's in the movie - minus a motherfucker. The promo for the episode had Leviathan!Dean being bleeped as he said "motherfucker"
Bobby makes an additional reference by referring to the Leviathans as "Pumpkin" and "Honey Bunny" Diner scene with Pumpkin and Honey Bunny from Pulp Fiction.
The first locations visited by the Leviathans are Jericho, California (1.01 Pilot), Black Water Ridge, Colorado (1.02 Wendigo), Lake Manitoc, Wisconsin (1.03 Dead in the Water). Sam recognizes the pattern of attacks just before they attack St. Louis, Missouri (1.06 Skin). It was in St. Louis that Sam and Dean first encountered a shapeshifter, and it was due to the shapeshifter that Dean's death was first faked. Ankeny, Iowa where the boys are arrested was where the events of 1.07 Hookman took place.
Sam: The usual?
Dean: Rhymes with sing songs!
Frank: Okay, we can Blue Steel you up some new I.D. - Mr and Mr Smith
Blue Steel was the name of a signature modeling pose belonging to the really really ridiculously handsome Derek Zoolander in the movie Zoolander. See Blue Steell for numerous references in the show, and by Jensen and Jared, to the look.
Dean: Nobody puts baby in a corner!
Sam: You know that's a line from...
Dean: Swayze movie! Swayze always gets a pass!
While mimicking Bobby, Chet reveals that he had lots of issues with his father, and his favourite singer is Joni Mitchell.
Dick: I like where your head's at, but sometimes less is more. Those boys coming back from the dead would strain credulity, even for the American media.
This line is a meta dig at the fact that Sam and Dean keep coming back from the dead. As Ben Edlund said at Comic Con 2010 "...these creatures, these poor men, cannot die. The cruel universe that will not let them die...That’s TV. TV will not let people die. "

Michael Hogan who plays Sheriff Osborne played Saul Tigh in Battlestar Galactica - who was actually a cylon impersonating a human!
Minutiae
Bobby's confrontation with Chet, in which a chained Chet takes Bobby's form and taunts him before being beheaded, echoes the confrontation between Crowley and the Alpha Shapeshifter in 6.10 Caged Heat.
In the care the cars drive after they stop driving the Impala, there is a My Little Pony hanging from the rearview mirror. Dean cuts it down with his knife. At the end of the episode, it is in the trunk alongside the Leviathan heads.
