Bobby: Well, congrats. You discovered it, you get to name it.
Dean: Jefferson Starships. Because they're horrible and hard to kill.
Bobby and Dean, 6.19 Mommy Dearest
The Jefferson Starships were the name Dean gave to the hybrid monsters being created by Eve. Jefferson Starship is a rock band formed under the name of Jefferson Airplane in the mid-1960s, an incarnation of which is still touring. As Jefferson Starship they are best known for the song We Built This City, once voted the most "awesomely bad" song in rock history.
After the episode aired, "Jefferson Starships" trended on Twitter.
