- Peter says if he is fired, he will have to go back to being a Calvin Klein model. In it, as the other models are heard thinking things such as “I don’t want to be different, but I don’t want to be the same,” Peter is heard thinking “Who was the bad guy from Tron?”

- Stewie reads The Art of War by Sun Tsu and The Prince by Niccolò Machiavelli before Lois makes him watch Teletubbies.
- Stewie is momentarily hypnotised by the Teletubbies show. The characters in the show feature different antennas on their head (resembling TV antenna) than their real versions do; for instance, one has rabbit-ears antennae, another with a satellite dish, etc.
- After Stewie watches Teletubbies, Peter comes in to watch the A&E Biography series on “that other guy from Wham!” (referring to Andrew Ridgely).
- After Stewie tries to escape from listening to Lois and Bonnie’s conversation, he says “Oh to be the Lindbergh baby right about now,” a reference to the kidnapping of Charles Lindbergh’s son.

Amelia Earhart witnesses the accident, and it is insinuated that Linbergh caused her disappearance.

- Peter and Chris watch Wheel of Fortune. The puzzle looks like “GO _UCK YOURSELF,” but the answer to the puzzle is “GO TUCK YOURSELF IN,” and somewhat humorously, Peter doesn’t realize that the letter F has already been guessed. Notably, all of the blank tiles were the same color, so one wouldn’t have been able to tell that there was another word after “YOURSELF.”

- Joe is paralyzed after a fight with The Grinch, who was attempting to steal Christmas presents from an orphanage.
