Revision as of 20:48, 12 April 2013
- The story of Nate Griffin is a reference to Roots: The Saga of an American Family.
- Peter says that he created the panic room so he can escape from the film The Butterfly Effect, a reference to the poor reviews it received when it was released.
- Tobi, the effeminate slave who refuses to accept his white name, is a reference to Roots character Kunta Kinte.
- The panic room is the same as the one in the 2002 film Panic Room with Jodie Foster.
- Peter reveals that his ancestor Nate Griffin’s real name is Richard Bachman, a reference to the pen name horror novelist Stephen King used earlier in his writing career.
- Peter (as Moses) makes a commandment where the followers are ordered not to read the billboard signs as they walk through the desert. One of the signs is read aloud as “Mancow in the Morning,” a reference to Mancow Muller’s daily morning radio show. Mancow is a fan of the series and a friend of MacFarlane. Seth MacFarlane and his sister, Rachael MacFarlane, have been guests on the radio show. Another billboard mentions Danny Gans.
- Nate Griffin goes into the African jungle to find a log and stick so he can play the beginning of “Hot for Teacher” by Van Halen.
- During the Nate Griffin segment, a Quagmire character is shown, referred to as “Quagdingo”, a parody of Mandingo.
- When Nate Griffin is brought to the plantation, the scene resembles the Disney movie that was never released on home video Song of the South.
- Nate Griffin falls in love with Lois Laura Bush-Lynne Cheney-Pewterschmidt.
- Nate’s flight in a cart pulled by a white bronco is a parody of the O.J. Simpson murder case, and he is picked up by Al Cowlings, who drove O.J.
- The prank Nate Griffin pulls on the slave ship captain as well as the music is taken from Meatballs.
- Peter and his family argue about the movie The Godfather, although it seems more likely they are referring to The Godfather Saga, as Peter says it spends six and a half hours getting in to the plot. Peter later says that The Money Pit is better.
- According to the DVD commentary, some of the dialogue was ad-libbed by MacFarlane, Alex Borstein and Seth Green. MacFarlane’s opinions on the movie reflect Peter’s, as Borstein and Green’s reflect Lois and Chris’s, respectively.
- Judith Light accidentally took the oxygen tank instead of the Tony Danza breath. This refers to the Who's the Boss? episode where Tony and Angela kiss.
- Peter describes the Pewterschmidt plantation as way down South, “around where you stop seeing Howard Johnson's and start seeing Stuckey's.”
- Nate made the Department of Motor Vehicles to get back at the white people.
- When Peter is explaining evolution he is obligated to present the church’s alternative theory due to the state of Kansas. The Christian theory features Jeannie from I Dream of Jeannie appearing from the water creating the different species of animals. Coincidentally, this episode first aired the same night as “The Monkey Suit,” a Simpsons episode which tackled the evolution/creationism controversy.
- Peter’s great-great-grandfather “Black-Eye” Griffin starred in 1920s-era short films. The first silent film where he is looking at the moon is a reference to the film Le Voyage dans la Lune/A Trip to the Moon which was a black and white silent film from 1902. Apparently, he didn’t do well when “talkies” came out, due to his silly, unusual, and stuttering voice, which sounded similar to Bobcat Goldthwait (also parodied in “The Perfect Castaway”). The plight of an old-time star who didn’t do well when the industry modernized also recalled a The Critic episode with a faded star whose career failed to transfer to technicolor, due to his oddly-colored skin and hair. It is also very similar to a subplot in the 1952 movie Singin' in the Rain , in which Lina Lamont has an annoying voice, and doesn’t transition well to “talkies.”
- When Peter is trying to sell the wheel to the cavemen, Brian says to Peter “You so money, don’t know it.” This is a reference from the movie Swingers, as Vince Vaughn says this to Jon Favreau throughout the movie to build his confidence.
- Peter Hitler tapes his nose up, proclaiming that he’s “Tojo.” Tojo Hideki was the prime minister of Japan during World War II.
- After Lois helps Ur-Peter sell the wheel, he says to her, “You and I will party like it’s 9,” a reference to Prince’s song 1999 (and more generally to the concept of partying like it’s 1999, which presumably preceded Prince’s song).
- When Peter Hitler is distracting his brother Adolf with childish antics while Adolf is making a speech at a rally, the scene parodies Rudy Giuliani’s inauguration speech as mayor of New York City and how Guiliani’s son Andrew was misbehaving, horse-playing and pantomiming his father during the speech.
- Hitler becomes extremely annoyed when Peter asks if he was going to try art school again. This is a reference to Hitler's failed acceptance to an art school and to the theory that Hitler hated Jewish people because a Jewish professor had rejected his school candidacy in Vienna.[1]
- One of Peter Hitler's congrats sayings is "Yeah Germinater. 'I'll be back.'" refers to the Terminator's famous line "I'll be back" which is said by Arnold Schwarzenegger.
