Allusions
ADD ALLUSIONS
- Two of Frank's hats in this episode, "Right Boot" and "Got It", are references to lines from the 1989 action movie Road House.
  Edit Share Hide
- Jack's idea of "surge" runs parallel to that of the Bush administration troop surge in Iraq.
  Edit Share Hide
- Frank mentions he, "can't take this Sam and Diane thing anymore," referring to Cheers and the on-again off-again relationship between two main characters, Sam and Diane.
  Edit Share Hide
- Lutz teases Liz, "That's great, Maude. How's Harold?" riffing on Harold and Maude, a 1971 film about a romance between a young man and a senior citizen.
  Edit Share Hide
- Liz: Just gellin' like Magellan. This is a reference to an advertisement for Dr. Scholl's Gel Insoles.
  Edit Share Hide
- At the ball pack, Jack is dressed like General Douglas MacArthur whose military career spanned WWI, WWII, and the Korean Conflict.
  Edit Share Hide
- Jack tells the boys of Tracy's baseball team that they need role models, and one boy gives R. Kelly and Mike Vick as examples. In 2002, R. Kelly, a rap artist and producer, was indicted for having sex with a minor. Mike Vick, a NFL quarterback, was charged with and plead guilty to federal dog fighting charges in 2007.
  Edit Share Hide
- The scene with the baseball team toppling the Jefferson Davis statue at the ballpark is reminiscent of the footage of Iraqis' toppling the statue of Saddam Hussein after American forces invaded Baghdad in 2003. The arguments the U.S. used to justify invading Iraq were reflected in Jack's reasoning for "helping" Tracy's underprivileged baseball team.
