  • The name of Quagmire’s plane is “The French Tickler,” which is a slang term for a type of condom, hence the female crotches on the billboards as targets.
  • The Weenie and the Butt radio show features the old radio show sound samples from the Valentino Sound Effects Library as a homage to the old radio sound effects.
  • Quagmire’s plane flies through the crotches of Veronica Mars and Paris Hilton on billboards advertising Veronica Mars and The Simple Life.
  • The ice cream scene from Kramer vs. Kramer is parodied in a scene with Tom parodying the role of Ted Kramer and Peter as Billy Kramer. However in the parody Tom starts spanking Peter, which does not happen in the actual movie.
  • When grudgingly accepting Stewie to his radio show, Brian says “Well, I guess he couldn’t be any worse than Tim McCarver is at sports broadcasting.” This is a reference to McCarver’s commentating gaffes throughout his broadcasting career.
  • The short-lived 2005 NBC series Three Wishes is spoofed in a cutaway sequence. The mention of Spider-Man—impersonated by an overweight crew member in a horrible costume—giving a Sears gift certificate in that sequence is a reference to the heavy involvement Sears’ rival J.C. Penney had with the series.
  • Peter’s revealed evil twin, named Thaddeus, parodies Snidely Whiplash from The Dudley Do-Right Show.
  • Peter compares his mother’s sudden announcement to a Peanuts reunion, showing a cutscene where Charlie Brown is a drug addict and admits to having sold Snoopy heroin (it is suggested that Snoopy and Woodstock overdosed and died).
  • Kermit the Frog appears in a parody of the TV show Round Table, with other notable individuals who have similarly thick voices. Included were actors Ray Romano and Harold Ramis, and sportscaster Al Michaels.
  • Brian mentions Stewie selling out. The resulting flashback parodies the Butterfinger commercials The Simpsons did in the early 1990s. Stewie says Bart Simpson’s catchphrase from the commercials, “Nobody better lay a finger on my Butterfinger,” before adding a forced “D’oh!
  • Peter and Lois watch a movie called Masturbator and Commander, a reference to the film Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World.
  • Like radio personality Howard Stern, Brian and Stewie hold a contest for women to win breast implants from Dr. John Viener (named after a real-life voice actor on the show). Much of their on-air shtick and banter is Stern-esque.
  • A sound byte that Stewie plays during the radio show comes from the film Philadelphia, and is Denzel Washington. Another ("don't you do it!") is from the film An Officer and A Gentleman and is Richard Gere. The "food fight" sound byte would've been John Belushi from Animal House.
  • At the air show, the family walks by a P-51 Mustang and A-10 Warthog, notable for its distinguished nose and protruding Gatling gun.
  • A cutaway shows a young girl giving the tape to Peter and warning him that if he watches it, he will die, similar to The Ring. Peter takes the tape anyway and plays it on the VCR. The tape in question turns out to be Mannequin and Peter dies, with his mouth wide open, just like Samara’s victims in The Ring.
  • Stewie and Brian’s on-air names, Dingo and The Baby, are a reference to the Azaria Chamberlain disappearance in Alice Springs, Australia, where it was alleged that Azaria was eaten by a dingo.
  • At the end when Quagmire and Cleveland are on the show, the sound effects say “In Rod We Trust,” which is from The Simpsons episode where Homer went into space and used a carbon rod to shut the door.
  • The song played when Peter, Tom and Thelma are having family time together is called “Give Me the Simple Life,” performed by Ella Fitzgerald.
  • Tom prompted Peter to watch Chicken Little.
  • A scene portrays how Darth Vader came to his senses and decided to build the Death Star.
  • This title is used as a pun on the word "fucker", by replacing the term with "Tucker", with reference to the surname of the character featured in the episode.
  • Lois references Charlotte's Web, where "a spider learned to overcome Tourette synrdome."
  • The clip that shows Stewie delivering a line as a priest is a recreation of a line from the movie "Harold and Maude".
