  • Lois and Brian watch Gilmore Girls, in a scene in which the mother and daughter talk very fast—a reference to the manner in which dialogue is spoken in the show, often fast-paced and laden with pop references. Lorelai and Rory share an incestous lesbian kiss in this scene, possibly an oblique reference to Lorelai jokingly suggesting that during her parents’ wedding re-enactment she would get drunk and make out with the best man, which would be “awkward,” as it was Rory. Rory also enjoyed a brief lesbian kiss from Paris during spring break (who then demanded her performance be critiqued). Or as a joke about their weird closeness as mom and daughter.
  • The scene where Peter tried to catch fish was a parody of one similar scene in the movie Cast Away.
  • During one flashback scene, Peter recalls a farting contest he had in a (supposedly public) bathroom with Michael Moore. While the farts start off normal, they eventually break into the tune of “Dueling Banjos” from the movie Deliverance.
  • Peter recalls trying going back to the past by driving a De Lorean through a wall. This is an obvious reference to Back to the Future, including a Wilhelm Scream.
  • Peter misses Captain Caveman, a Hanna-Barbera cartoon character from the late 1970s. He keeps a picture of Captain Caveman in a pocket watch, just as Tom Hanks’s character kept a picture of Helen Hunt’s character in Cast Away.
  • After getting back to Quahog, Peter and the gang mention they had fun on the cruise shooting skeet. After that is said, two hospital workers are seen carrying out Skeet Ulrich, who was shot by Cleveland. It also might be a reference to the movie Scream where Ulrich's character was shot in the stomach area by Gail Weathers, played by Courtney Cox.
  • When Peter’s boat goes into the storm, they go up a wave at a 90 degree angle, which is from The Perfect Storm.
  • Lois mentions that Meg went on a date with the announcer from Super Friends.
  • Herbert the creepy old pedophile hums “The Entertainer” by Scott Joplin when he asks Brian if the car dealership had an ice cream truck.
  • When Brian sees the silhouettes of Lois and Peter in the hotel window, he also sees Alfred Hitchcock who appeared in such a manner on his TV show, Alfred Hitchcock Presents.
  • Peter recalls being on a fictitious game show entitled “Bobcat or Björk?” in which he was to guess whether or not he was listening to a sound clip of comedian Bobcat Goldthwait or Icelandic musical artist Björk. He immediately guesses “Bobcat Goldthwait” upon hearing the clip, but is told that he was actually listening to a clip of Björk.
  • During a game of I Never, Quagmire drinks to having sex with a woman while the lights were on, having sex with Cleveland’s wife, having sex with a woman in a Logan Airport bathroom, giving a reach around to a spider monkey while reciting the Pledge of Allegiance, and performing erotic asphyxiation with an illegal alien from Home Depot then doing the same thing with someone from Jo-Ann Fabrics.
  • Stewie showed Brian a video of Lois and Peter having sex. When Peter reaches sexual climax, Peter screams “Shazam!,” a reference to the superhero Captain Marvel who said “Shazam!” to activate his powers. He previously did this before in “Fifteen Minutes of Shame.”
  • While Kobe Bryant is being interrogated for his suspected rape of Katelyn Faber, he spins a basketball on his finger, distracting the guards.
  • Peter plans on making a Christmas album, a faux ad is shown with Peter singing gibberish and made up lyrics to Sleigh Ride, The Little Drummer Boy, and Carol of the Bells.
  • The scene where Peter sprays whipped cream from an aerosol can all over his chest and privates to seduce Lois is similar to a scene from the movie Varsity Blues.
  • When Stewie goes upstairs but stops at the top to watch Lois and Brian break up he pulls out a box of Milk Duds.
