- The title "Baby Not On Board" is a take on "baby on board" signs hung in car windows.
- Patrick Swayze and Demi Moore's pottery wheel scene from Ghost is notable for being the first time characters are depicted with realistic eyes instead of the round ones typical in Family Guy.
- Brian's ongoing saga of the novel is once again brought up. Like in "Movin' Out (Brian's Song)", it has something to do with the movie Iron Eagle. Stewie said he would replace all the words "and" with "fart".
- Brian notes now he can't manage a Stewie impression, the irony being that Seth MacFarlane voices both characters and that Brian is delivered mostly in his natural voice.
- When Peter and Brian discuss 9/11, when Peter generalizes the group Brian is talking about, he is using George W. Bush's logic. This is the 3rd time that 9/11 is mentioned in the show. Seth MacFarlane was originally supposed to get on Flight 11, but missed the flight.
- This is one of the few episodes in which Stewie refers to Lois and Peter as "Mommy" and "Daddy", normally choosing to call them "Lois" and either "(the) Fat Man" or "Peter".
- Two and a Half Men, The Office and Desperate Housewives appear as the guide shows in the DirecTV video that Cleveland and Quagmire are forced to watch.
- Peter refers to Cleveland and Quagmire's ability to look after children to that of Patch Adams, a doctor who used humor to aid in his healing. The cutaway scene shows a desperate Patch Adams trying to entertain dying, in pain, children and ignoring their request to be left alone.
- When Cleveland and Quagmire enter the Griffin house to look for Stewie he quickly knocks them out with gas and identifies them as Cleveland and 'Bob Hope'. This is a comment on the likeness of Quagmire's nose shape to Bob's.
- Quagmire does not get a boner from people using the word 'rubbish' instead of 'garbage'.
- When Lois, Brian, Chris, and Meg are about to go off the cliff, they all have the same exact facial expression.
- The "plot hole" in Lord of the Rings is a long-standing debate among fans, arguing the eagles could just fly straight to Mordor, with some asserting that it's addressed that they help out willingly but can't be ordered to do things, & that being from Valinor like Gandalf and Sauron, would also be susceptible to the ring, not to mention it's a suicide mission without stealth.[1]
- In the scene in the Griffin's car Peter says, "No way! Those guys have a TV in their car!", but in "Road to Rupert", he was able to watch SpongeBob SquarePants on a flip down screen in the Griffins' car.
- In the broadcast version, Cleveland says to Quagmire: "Did I tell you I was getting a spin-off?", foreshadowing his own upcoming show.
- Operation Dumbo Sex is retitled Operation Dumbo Screw in the uncensored versions.
