    • When Brian is walking outside the Pewterschimdt mansion before he meets Sea Breeze, the tag on his collar is gone. But it is there again when Mr. Pewterschimdt calls him over to meet Sea Breeze.
    • Lois mentions a mulatto shoeshine boy in this episode. Most people don't realize the word mulatto is a Spanish/Portuguese word meaning "mule" and is a derogatory term for a person of mixed ethnicity, most commonly having an African American and white parent. One reason this term is offensive is because mules don't reproduce and therefore considered by some to be an "accident of nature" or "genetic mistake".
    • In this episode it is hinted that Meg's real father isn't Peter, but a man named Stan Thompson. This has not been mentioned again in the series and could be a one-off gag.

  • Allusions

    ADD ALLUSIONS
    • Elian Gonzalez: When Brian and Seabreeze are captured in the hotel, a photo is taken of a government agent holding a machinegun on them. The pose is identical to the Pulitzer-winning photo of federal agents taking Elian Gonzalez from Donato Dalrymple.
    • Batman After hanging out with Carter and Peter, Bill Gates signals a helicopter to pick him up by flashing the Microsoft Windows symbol. This parodies the Bat-Signal used by Commissioner Gordon to summon Batman.
    • Sixteen Candles Carter mentions that at the party Peter approached the Premier of China and asked him, "Dong, where is my automobile?". This is a reference to a line said to the foreign exchange student Long Duk Dong in the John Hughes coming-of-age film Sixteen Candles.
    • A Christmas Carol Peter: Cratchit, you're working through Christmas! Cratchit: But sir, what of Tiny Tim? Peter: He and his ukulele shall go wanting. Bob Cratchit is the clerk who worked for Ebenezer Scrooge in Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol. He had a son named Tiny Tim who was lame and in frail health. His son didn't really play the ukulele though. Peter was referring to a different Tiny Tim, the singer of Tiptoe Through the Tulips.
    • The Exorcist After Mr. Pewterschmit nods, and Lois shakes her head, a weird zombie-like girl starts turning her head 360 degrees and spits out green fluid. This is a reference to the horror movie The Exorcist, where the girl after being possessed by the devil, could turn her head 360 degrees and puke a lot.
    • Citizen Kane Charles Foster Kane: Rosebud... This is a reference to the movie Citizen Kane, a classic Orson Wells film made in 1941. It is one of the world's most famous and highly rated films. At the beginning of the film, Kane's dying word is "rosebud." A reporter searches for what the word means for the remainder of the movie.
    • Survivor Peter falls through a wall on the "wilderness" set of Survivor. This is an allusion that the show is really filmed on a Los Angeles soundstage, rather than in the wild. It appears to film right next to The Price is Right.
    • Winnie-the-Pooh Peter: Look at me Lois, I'm Roo! Peter has inserts himself into a kangaroo's pouch, and then announces his intention to go "watch Pooh trick bees out of their honey by pretending he's a rain cloud". He is, of course, speaking of the magnificent children's stories of A.A. Milne about Winnie-the-Pooh, where Roo is a baby kangaroo who hangs out in Kanga's, his mother, pouch.
