I Am Peter, Hear Me Roar/References

• The title of the episode is from the chorus of pop singer Helen Reddy's 1972 song "I Am Woman."
• One of the Griffins' neighbors is meant to resemble 1970s-era cartoon character Fat Albert but Peter mistakes him for actress Della Reese.
• The comedy club Peter and Lois go to is called The Chuckle Bucket.
• When Peter goes to the Workplace Sensitivity Training course, there is an advertisement which says, "Tomorrow: the Dyslexic Film Society Presents Chevy Chase in 'Feltch.' " This is reference to the 1985 movie Fletch which stars Chevy Chase. The film title is deliberately misspelt to be homonymous with the name of a sexual practice.
• The monsters shown on the island in the timeshare are from the book Where the Wild Things Are.
• In the bus, Peter says to the women "I'll be Charlie, and you can all be my angels." This is a reference to the film and television series Charlie's Angels, where Charlie is a man who employs three women to work for him (his "angels"). Peter then points at a relatively fat woman and tells her "Except for you. You can be Bosley," referring to Charlie's (male) assistant, Bosley.
• The pain of childbirth being "taking your bottom lip and pulling it over your head," was inspired by Bill Cosby's standup routine about his first child and what he and his wife went through in the delivery room.
• During the catfight between Lois and Gloria, a baker came out of the kitchen carrying ten banana cream pies and singing, "Ten banana cream pies!" He was then knocked down by Lois and Gloria’s fighting. This is a reference to the old "falling baker" films from Sesame Street that aired in the 1970s and 1980s.
• Peter mentions that Gloria Ironbachs and Camille Paglia will both “whip it out” and see who is bigger. Camille Paglia is a Freudian literary critic who slams modern-day feminism. It is also of note that her last name is mispronounced on this episode (and when she’s mentioned on the American Dad episode “Stan Knows Best”). Her last name is pronounced “Pall-ee-a,’” not “Pag-lee-a.”
• Sexual beer commercials - A TV ad shows two lesbians giving each other massages.
• Huck Griffin - One of Peter's ancestors; named after Mark Twain's character, Huckleberry Finn.
  • "That's our word!" One of Huckleberry Finn's friends is a runaway slave called Nigger Jim.
• The Million Man March - 1995 protest march on Washington, focusing on respect for and brotherhood of male African-Americans.
• The View - The talk show for women can be seen before the News at Noon according to Peter.
