Though Roger usually calls his green body fluid xenoplasm, he calls it protoplasm in the bathroom.
The usual "American Dad" intro doesn't finish. Instead, it ends when Stan picks up the newspaper, which has Roger on the front page. Stan's last line in the intro for this episode is "And it's shining a salute to the American race!". Because of this, the title of the show never appears.
Repeated gag of the night: In this episode Roger breaks a wooden chair over Stan. In the episode of Family Guy that aired right before this, Chris breaks a wooden chair over Brian.
Bullock: Dick, I believe you're up. Dick: I don't have anything for show and tell. I just found out I have liver cancer. Bullock: I'm giving you a zero for the day.
Stan: (after finding the photo of Roger in the paper) How did this happen?! Roger: I have no idea. I leave the house in disguise, but six Rob Roys later, things happen that I can't be responsible for. Like buying this puzzle. Why the hell did I buy this puzzle?! (begins tearing the nearly complete puzzle apart) I hate puppies! Get out of that tea cup! That cup is for tea!
(Roger and Stan pretend to meet for the first time at the CIA) Roger: What's your name? Stan: (through clenched teeth) Stan. Roger: Hmm. I already know a 'Stan'. I'm going to call you Mortimer. Now, run and fix me a coffee. (Stan doesn't move) Today, Mortimer James! (turns to Bullock) I add his middle name when I'm disappointed in him.
Roger: I'm not ready to die. Not before Shatner!
Bullock: Anyway, our Alien Task Force clearly needs some rejiggering. Ray, you're no longer in charge. Ray: Of what? Bullock: The Alien Task Force. Ray: What the hell's that? Bullock: The task force you've been in charge of! Ray: Oh, how did I do?
Bullock: I need a new team leader. Jackson: Sir, I'm your man. I will not rest until the alien and all his accomplices are brought to just-- Stan: (to Bullock; pointing at Jackson) He told me he hates you. Bullock: What?! Jackson, is this true? Jackson: Yes. Bullock: Get out of my sight! Smith, how do you feel about me? Stan: You're okay, I guess. Bullock: Good, then you're the man for this job.

Larry Craig When Roger tells Stan's coworkers in the bathroom that Stan is the alien, Roger tells Deputy Bullock that he has to use the bathroom, then hints that he should sit in the stall next to him. This is a reference to the Larry Craig's airport bathroom controversy. On August 27, 2007, the Capitol Hill newspaper Roll Call revealed that Craig had been arrested for homosexual lewd conduct in the men's restroom at the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport on June 11, 2007.
Stan: (about excreting the alien) I pooped it out. This is a reference to Stephen King's Dreamcatcher, in which people who swallow alien spores incubate wormlike aliens that exit the body rather gruesomely through the rectum.
Kokomo The names of places (Aruba, Jamaica, Key Largo, Montego and a place called Kokomo) that Roger (as Parker Peters) mentioned that he has leads where the alien is are from the lyrics of the by The Beach Boys' song "Kokomo."
The X-Files Roger's back story while working at the CIA of having a sister, named Samantha, who was abducted by aliens, is the same storyline of Special Agent Fox Mulder in The X-Files. Roger also has a slightly different version of the I Want to Believe poster hanging in his office.
Rocky One of the pictures Roger sets up is of himself at the top of the steps leading to The Philadelphia Museum of Art with his fists in the air, which is an homage to the movie Rocky.
Roger: Son of a b*tch Superman two'ed me! This is a reference to the ending of Superman II where Superman appeared to go into a chamber that would remove his powers, when it actually protected him.
Roger: You know what, the whole cast--the whole damn dirty pirate cast. Roger is referencing Pirates Of The Caribbean, starring Johnny Depp and Keira Knightley.
Roger: Glass, George Glass! That's Jan Brady's fake boyfriend! This is a reference to The Brady Bunch, where Jan invented a boyfriend to get attention.
Roger: Très jolie, Coco, très jolie" (Very nice, Coco, very nice). Roger is quoting from the Oscar winning 1980 movie Fame.
Parker Peters In this episode Roger goes by the name Parker Peters. This is a reference to Peter Parker who's secret identity is Spider-Man. Like Peter Parker, Roger takes photos of his other identity to sell to the newspaper as a freelance photographer. Whereas Peter Parker takes pictures of his secret identity, Roger takes pictures of his normal identity, making it logical to reverse the name.
Episode Title: Office Space The title is a direct parody of the 1999 film Office Space.
