Peter, Peter, Caviar Eater/References

• Marisa Tomei, in a stunning upset, won an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for her role in My Cousin Vinny in 1992.

• At the reading of the will, Peter says "big money, big money, no whammies, no whammies, STOP!," a reference to the game show Press Your Luck.
• Marguerite Pewterschmidt’s video based on Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous is narrated by Robin Leach.
• “This House Is Freaking Sweet,” the song sung by Peter and the Cherrywood servants, parodies the song “I Think I’m Gonna Like It Here” from Annie.

• The creepy twins Stewie meets are a reference to the movie version of Stephen King's "The Shining."

• Lois and Peter's illicit dancing recalls a similar scene in "Dirty Dancing."
• The scene in which Stewie commands the butlers to fight to the death is a reference to the Star Trek Original Series episode "Amok Time" in which Kirk and Spock are taking part in the Kunut Kalifi, when 2 males compete for a Vulcan female mate.

• Peter's appearance and behaviour after Brian makes him over refers to Jackie Gleason's smarmy millionaire character, Reginald Van Gleason III.

• A commercial with shadows and visible jewellery is a spoof of the De Beers 'Diamonds are Forever' commercial.

• Near the end of the episode, The Cosby Show is parodied during a skit in which Theo tells his dad that he got a girl pregnant.

• When Peter is trying to prove that millions of dollars of history happened in the mansion, he points to a large crack in the wall (which he pretends is where the Stock Market crashed), a small toy train (which he pretends is part of Harriet Tubman's Underground Railroad), and a note on the wall dated 51BC that states "Jesus was here" (when asked about the BC part, Peter replies 'He can do anything. He's Jesus').

• When Peter says "100 million dollars" he puts his pinky finger to his mouth. The pinky and the quote are a reference to Dr. Evil in the Austin Powers series.

• "That's not true! That's impossible." This scene explicitly references "The Empire Strikes Back"; these are the exact lines spoken by Luke when he is confronted by Vader, and Peter replicates his pose.

• "Good game, "Mean" Joe. You want some of my Coke?" Recalls a famous 70s Coke commercial starring Pittsburgh Steelers star "Mean" Joe Greene.

• Lois' leaving with her bags may be a reference to a similar scene in "Citizen Kane"

• Ted Turner "colourising." the moon could be a reference to the old Turner logo, in which there is usually a green or blue globe. It could also be a reference to the somewhat controversial decision at Turner Entertainment some time ago (mid-to-late 1980s) of colourising old black-and-white films, much to the displeasure of purists (who preferred the black-and-white picture).
