Allusions

add »
Star Wars VI: Return of the Jedi

When Quagmire lands the plane in the field, he turns to the co-pilot and says, "That was too close." The co-pilot appears to be the Sullustan Nien Nunb who was the co-pilot on the Millennium Falcon during The Battle of Endor. Quagmire's comment also alludes to Lando Calrissian, who says the same thing after hitting part of the Death Star's inner structure. (edit)
Babe

The scene where 3 mice say "three weeks later" accompanied with a black slide with three weeks later on it is an allusion to the movie Babe. In Babe, 3 mice narrated much of the story in a similar way. (edit)
Airplane!

Some of the situations are allusions to the film Airplane!, including the music and the sound of the jet flying (which makes it sound like a propeller driven plane). The pep talk Hugh Hefner gives to Quagmire is the recreation of Leslie Nielson's pep talk to Robert Hays in Airplane!, switching the story of George Zip with porn star John Holmes. (edit)
Blue Collar Comedy Tour

The four rednecks at the beginning of the episode are a parody of southern comedians Jeff Foxworthy, Ron White, Bill Engvall, and Larry the Cable Guy. (edit)
Grey's Anatomy

While reading to the elementary students, Mayor West mentions the TV drama Grey's Anatomy. (edit)
