      • Of Vodka martinis and ejection buttons The martini segment is loaded with allusions to James Bond films. The shadowly customer is clearly intended to be James Bond and is even referred to as "Mr. Bond". In films and novels, Bond's preferred libation was always a "vodka martini, shaken, not stirred". The ejection button parodies a scene from 1964's Goldfinger in which Bond disposed of an enemy that way.

      • Stabbing an ice block, Sharon Stone style Alton's referring to the 1992 film Basic Instinct. In the film, Stone's character demonstrated remarkable skill with an ice pick...

      • Colonel Bob Boatwright Colonel Bob's white suit, beard and mustache, and southern accent, summon memories of Harlan Sanders, founder of Kentucky Fried Chicken and to many people, stereotypical "southern gentleman."
