  • Phil's application form for a medal of honor says August.
  • Harvey mentions the Green Day song "Time of Your Life."
  • Quick Draw's line, "Get your paws off me, you damn dirty kids" is a paraphrase of Taylor/Charlton Heston's famous line, "Take your stinking paws off me, you damn dirty apes," in the film Planet of the Apes.
  • Baba Looey being killed by a guitar is a possible nod to how most gun deaths are due to guns not being safely put away.
