Family Guy Season 8 Episode 3

Caddyshack

When Chevy and Dan are at dinner at the Griffin's, and Peter is trying to impress them so that they might "put him in their next movie," Chevy Chase says, "Yeah, we got all kinds of roles available. Speaking roles, background roles. Background would be good for you." And Peter replies: "Oooh, yeah, speaking role or background role, either one would be good."

This is an allusion to in Caddyshack when Chevy (Ty Webb) is telling Bill Murray's character (Carl Spackler) the famous pool-pond line: "We've got a pool, we've got a pond. Pond would be good for you."

"Pilgrim" references

Peter's repeated imitation of actor John Wayne's vocal mannerisms and jokes about Thanksgiving allude to Wayne's trademark reference to other characters in his films as "pilgrim", including in The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance (1962) and McLintock (1963).

Stripes

Vladimir Putin's reference to a 1981 fiasco in Czechoslovakia involving Bill Murray, Harold Ramis and a rag-tag group of misfit soldiers who slept through graduation alludes to the plot of the comedy Stripes, which starred those actors and was released in that year.

Raiders of the Lost Ark

Vladimir Putin's use of nunchaku, a crossbow and an assault rifle as a coat hanger, tie rack and cigarette lighter alludes to Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981), in which Gestapo agent Toht frightens Marion Ravenwood by presenting what seems to be a nunchaku-like weapon that is revealed to be a coat hanger.

Matryoshka dolls

Stewie "unstacking" himself at the airport into a series of smaller likenesses alludes to these nested dolls of Russian folk art.

Hedgehog in the Fog

The "Russian cutaway gag" is inspired by the 1975 Soviet animated film "Hedgehog in the Fog". It's worth noticing that in "Hedgehog in the Fog", the titular hedgehog wasn't so crudely drawn, nor was he angry.

Telefon

The plot element in which a key phrase unleashes unknowing, hypnotically-programmed Soviet sleeper agents is taken from the 1977 film Telefon. There, a character played by Charles Bronson is sent to hunt down the rogue KGB agent who has stolen the agent list and key phrase.

Ghostbusters

The tracking beacon Dan Aykroyd uses to find Mayor West is similar in design to a PKE meter from the 1984 movie Ghostbusters, in which Aykroyd also starred.

Spy vs. Spy
The black and white spies on the couch are replicas of the mortal enemies in Spy vs. Spy in Mad Magazine.
