The movie George Michael and Maeby go to see is called Les Cousins Dangereux (The Dangerous Cousins).
(edit)
A song, played once as Michael wakes up from the accident and again when Gob learns Michael was in an accident, is from "Joint Security Area," (2000) an internationally-renown South Korean movie. The song is completely identical, except for a saxophone string added in. I have not seen the full credits to the episode, so it's possible that this song may be credited, uncredited, or a very unlikely coincidence.
(edit)
When Maeby and George Michael got caught at the movie theater during the "On The Next" segment, Maeby immediately ran out, even though she promised George Michael in "Charity Drive" that she would take the blame the next time they got in trouble.
(edit)
The theme music from the 1960's sitcom My Mother The Car is briefly heard.
(edit)
David Cross ("Tobias") does not appear in this episode.

Lucille 2: Excuse me, but I thought my AARP card was good for one and a guest.
Buster: Hey, you know what? I knew that society would never accept this, and they never will. (edit) Gob: I was halfway to South America, but I couldn’t let you get away with it because we’re brothers, Mom, and we kind of like each other.
Michael: You were going to South America?
Gob: I don’t think so. (edit) Gob: There’s no way that you were trying to hurt me. You don’t hate me. Mom hates me. You kind of like me.
Michael: Yeah, I kind of like you. (edit) Gob: Turn this skiff around.
Captain: We haven’t even left the dock.
Gob: But “skiff” is appropriate, right? (edit) Michael: Gob, the accident only happened because I was trying to scare you. Maybe even hurt you.
G.O.B.: That doesn’t sound like you. It sounds like Mom. (edit)

In this episode, the narrator refers to Gob as Lucille's fourth least favorite child, making him the favorite which contradicts Lucille's statement in the "Pilot," 'I don't care for Gob'.
Of course, knowing Lucille, she could not care for him and he could still be her favorite. (edit)
