Behind the scenes

• Reddy makes a "Two cup, two cups" joke, which is a reference to "Two girls, one cup," the unofficial nickname to the trailer of the 2007 Brazilian scat fetish pornographic film Hungry Bitches.
• When seeing the parade float of Superman, Leo paraphrases the "It's a bird, it's a plane, it's Superman" line in the intro for the 1940s Superman radio serial.
• At the Thanksgiving Parade, Reddy calls Ruff "Felix", after Felix the Cat, a silent cartoon character created in 1919.
• TV Grind is a parody of TV Guide.
• Speech bubbles from Reddy and Steve Allen partially block the latter's name during his talk show.
• Paw & Order: Interspecies Case Files is a parody of the 1990s TV series Law & Order and its many spin-offs.
• Total Foods is a parody of Whole Foods.
