Cultural references
- Peter mentions watching the video from The Ring, which actually turns out to be the film Mannequin.
- When Peter has the ice cream it is taken from Kramer vs. Kramer.
- Peter mentions a Peanuts reunion, in which Charlie Brown ends up a violent drug dealer who was accidently responsible for the deaths of Snoopy and Woodstock by providing them drugs.
- At the beginning, Quagmire crashes his car through three billboards, 2 of which are for Veronica Mars and one for 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 and Harold Ramis.
- 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 both watch the 2005 Disney Film Chicken Little.
- Stewie parodies a Butterfinger commercial, as The Simpsons did in the early 1990s. Stewie says Bart's catchphrase from the commercials, "Nobody better not lay a finger on my Butterfinger," before adding a forced "D'oh!"
- A cutaway shows Darth Vader working as police officer writing parking tickets. After being teased and talking it over with his wife, Karen, Vader goes to the bank to apply for a loan to build the Death Star.
