| Al Roker |    | Peter tells Lois that she didn't want the cake of Al Roker with the hershey kiss nipples. |
| Animal House | | The scene where Peter misdirects the parade conductor and steals his uniform and baton is a direct reference to a similar scene during the crazy finale of "Animal House." One of the Delta fraternity members ("The
Stork" I believe) pushes the parade leader out of the way when he throws up his baton and proceeds to lead
the mindless marching band towards a dead-end alley. Peter seems to lead an equally pliant parade. |
| Children of the Corn | | Peter mistakes Hanson for the Children of the Corn. |
| Chitty Chitty Bang Bang | | The title of this episode is a play on the English children's book (and later musical) "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang," written by none other than James Bond creator Ian Fleming. Chitty Chitty Bang Bang is the name of a car that can fly, which in no way relates to the episode. |
| Chuck E. Cheeses | | The venue Lois originally books for Stewie's birthday is called "Cheesie Charlie's" a play on the American
chain-restaurant called Chuck E. Cheeses. |
| Couplehood | | This book by Paul Reiser ("Mad About You," mid-1990's US IBM commercials) is seen being put into the Heaven's Helpers suicide punch after the arsenic and other poisons. |
| Dukes of Hazzard | | The deep voiced narrator that starts to talk as Peter fights with the kid over his Dukes of Hazzard wristwatch is Waylon Jennings the narrator from the 1980's TV programme. |
| Hanson. | | See ``Children of the Corn`` reference. |
| Heaven's Gate & Jonestown | | The "Heaven's Helpers" youth cult is based almost entirely on a real-life American cult called Heaven's Gate which gained notoriety after their mass suicide of 39 members in 1997. |
| Hong Kong Phooey | | A Hanna Barbera cartoon about a crime fighting dog. Peter shout "Hong Kong Phooey" before jumping in the ball pit. |
| Martha Stewart | | Jennifer compares Lois to Martha Stewart. |
| Oliver Twist | | The dinning conditions of the children seen in Peter's make-believe version of Cheesie Charlie's gestures to
this Charles Dicken's classic. |
| Pi | | Pi |
| Purina Chuckwagon Dog Chow | | Purina-Ralston brand dog food used to make commercials involving an American pioneer-style wagon (a
"chuckwagon") sporting a checkered, red-and-white top (from the company logo). |
| Republican Party | | Peter's crack about him being the two symbols of the Republican party is quite amusing. 1) An elephant is the official symbol of the Republican party. 2) The standard image of Republicans from a progressive/liberal perspective is that they are, just as Peter says, a party of white males who fear change. |
| Spalding Gray | | Spalding Gray is considered by many a master of the comedic monologue. He has also written several books which incorporate his neurotic humour. Brian's reference to him implies that the writers of Family Guy are fans of Gray's work. |
| Star Wars | | The sperm attacking the egg scene. |
| Star Wars IV | | In the scene where Stewie is looking through binoculars,the binoculars themselves are not from Star Wars, but the view they show is the same as the view through Luke's binoculars. |
| Star Wars:The Empire Strikes Back | | Stewie freezes the security guard in carbonite, in 'Empire', Han Solo is frozen in carbonite. |
| The Incredible Hulk | | Peter turns into the hulk in his story about why Stewie's party won't be at Cheesey Charlie's. |
| The Three Little Pigs | | |
| Water into Wine | | In the episode Jesus is seen turning water into funk. |
| West Side Story | | As Peter talks to Meg about being rejected by the "in" crowd at high school, he flashes to a dance scene spoofing the musical West Side Story. The Jets and the Sharks are rival New York street gangs in the
story and Peter makes a reference to their animosity. This scene further pokes fun at the absurdity of a
'tough' Puerto Rican gang dancing in a such a genteel manner (or dancing at all for that matter). |
