Cultural references
- At the beginning, Quagmire crashes his car through three billboards, 2 of which were for Veronica Mars and The Simple Life. (The French Tickler is a slang term for penis, hence the female crotches at the billboards as targets.
- The short-lived 2005 NBC series Three Wishes is spoofed in a cutaway sequence. The mention of Sears in that sequence is a reference to the heavy involvement Sears rival J.C. Penney had with the series.
- In a brief cutaway, Charlotte of Charlotte's Web left the word "WHORE" as a final message.
- Kermit the Frog appears again in a brief debate with other men with extremely similar voices, along with Ray Romano.
- 97.1 WQHG, the talk radio station that briefly employs Brian and Stewie is based on 97.1 KLSX, a Los Angeles station with a similar format.
- "Weenie and The Butt", the morning team at WQHG, could be seen as a parody of the syndicated Don and Mike program (a la "Bill and Marty" on The Simpsons).
- "Dingo and The Baby", the on-air name of Brian and Stewie's program, is a reference to the Azaria Chamberlain disappearance.
- "Dingo and The Baby" is loosely based on The Howard Stern Show.
- Tom and Peter watch the film Chicken Little.
