Goodfellas is a 1990 crime drama film directed by Martin Scorsese. It is based on the non-fiction book Wiseguy by Nicholas Pileggi, who also co-wrote the screenplay for the film with Scorsese. The film follows the rise and fall of three gangsters, spanning three decades.
A scene in "There's Something About Paulie" showing “the mob in the movies” parodies the infamous scene in film in which Joe Pesci's character jokingly harasses Ray Liotta's character for calling him “funny.” In this version, he asks if he's George Carlin-caliber funny or the caliber of Spin City and Rita Rudner.
A camera shot of Chris and the vocational school principal walking though the halls in "Stand By Meg" mimics a scene from Goodfellas, complete with "Then He Kissed Me" by The Crystals.[1]
In "Throw It Away", in the scene which demonstrates Peter's "better method for killing spiders", he takes the spider to a room in a garage, and, right as the spider realizes he was set up, Peter kills him by shooting him in the back of the head. This scene is a parody of Tommy's death from the movie, in which Tommy is taken to a room in a garage and is killed the exact same way.
