< From Method to Madness

  • Mark Hentemann, who does the one-man show in which all the characters sound the same, is named after the producer of the same name.
  • In the car after meeting the nudists, Chris can’t stop saying “Boobies!”, so Lois uses a Neuralizer (a device used in Men in Black) and makes Chris believe he just came back from the circus.
  • Stewie’s sexy party may be a reference to the many sketches where Benny Hill chases scantily-clad women at high speed as seen on The Benny Hill Show. His sexy parties are also seen in Stewie Griffin: The Untold Story.
  • To critique Stewie’s solo acting exercise, Olivia quotes Anne Robinson’s catchphrase on The Weakest Link, “You are the Weakest Link...goodbye!” prompting Stewie to launch on a lengthy tirade in which he asks “Have you any Titanic jokes you want to throw at me as long as we’re hitting these phenomena at the height of their popularity?”
  • Stewie warns Olivia that she might “get booted out of here and end up like Linda Evans.” Evans is then seen working in a supermarket.
  • When Olivia and Stewie start fighting, at one point they climb up on ferns and continue the fight there, mimicking the fight scene in Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.
  • After a solo performance, an angry audience member describes Stewie’s show as being worse than Seussical, a Broadway show that opened in November 2000 and was panned by the critics.
  • When Stewie is giving a press conference to his stuffed toys, he mentions advice given to him by filmmaker Martin Scorsese and his part across from Chris O’Donnell.
  • When Olivia visits Stewie one last time, he claims to have a guest role on an upcoming episode of Gilmore Girls. This could be a reference to Stewie’s voice actor, Seth MacFarlane, and his then-upcoming guest role on the show.
  • To illustrate Peter’s concern about child acting, a cutaway features Elroy Jetson, a character from televised cartoon The Jetsons who, as an adult, is kicked out of a pub bruised and drunken. It goes on to show grown up Bam-Bam, the child from The Flintstones has now become a taxicab driver.
  • Stewie and Olivia perform at Shady Oaks retirement home, a parody of the “Shady Pines” location from The Golden Girls.
