- When Brian gets a job at Stewie’s Cash$cam, Stewie tells Brian “If Cookie Monster calls, tell him I’m not talking to him until he gets out of rehab.” Later in the episode, Lois sees him as a desperate, jittery addict, seated in a bathroom stall of the Drunken Clam trying to freebase cookie dough using a spoon and a cigarette lighter.

- The founding fathers are shown debating on whether to call the state of Rhode Island “Rhode Island” or “Cacapoopoopeepeeshire.” They eventually decided on flipping a coin to make the decision and RI prevailed. The comical sounding name is a portmanteau word fusing the Spanish slang word for feces (caca), poopoo, peepee, and the place name suffix: -shire. In Spanish it was translated as Cacapupupipílandia—literally, caca, poopoo (pupu), peepee (pipí), and -landia meaning land, replacing -shire; it therefore translates back to English as “Shitpoopoopeepeeland.”
- When Peter asks Lois “aren’t you going to go do your little turn on the cat walk, Lois, on the catwalk, yeah on the catwalk. Do your little turn on the catwalk?” he makes reference to the 1990s song “I’m Too Sexy” by Right Said Fred.
