Grandpa Marsh's first name is Marvin. (edit)

Randy: Sharon, have you seen dad?
Sharon: He's not here hun, he's having a meeting with all the seniors in town at the community center.
Randy: Ohh... wait a minute. If all the seniors are in town at a meeting, that means that when the meeting gets out...
Sharon: Every senior in town will be driving home...
Randy: At the same time! OH MY GOD! (edit) Grandpa Marsh: Seniors of South Park, I don't know about you, but I am mad as hell!
Seniors: Yeah!
Elderly Woman: I'm sick of having my mental condition come into question!
Elderly Man: We need to let everyone know we're pissed off, and we're not gonna take it anymore!
Seniors: Yeah! Yeah! That's right, Pete!
Grandpa Marsh: That's right! Now …can anybody remember what we're pissed off about? (edit) Grandpa Marsh: I heard what you said! You wanna take drivin' privileges away from seniors! Well let me tell you something, peckerface! I worked fifty five years in the steel mill!
Randy: Yes Dad.
Grandpa Marsh: And I flew Spitfires over Germany in World War II!
Randy: Yes I know.
Grandpa Marsh: And I will be God-damned if the government thinks it can step in and take away my right to drive!
Stan: I think old people should have rights, Grampa. I just don't wanna die. (edit) Stan: Hey Dad, how come they let old people drive?
Randy: Well, Stan, it's a very fragile issue.
Stan: But they kill people. (edit) Cartman: Oh God, memorial services are sooo boring.
Kyle: You insensitive asshole, Cartman! Nine people died!
Cartman: Yeah, but like, eight of them were hippies. Mostly hippies go to farmer's markets. Mostly… (edit)

The woman who is driving and then lands on the boat is called Mona by her husband, but the news report calls her Lydia. Also, the President of the AARP says his name is Bill Stewart, but when he talks about taking over another town, Marvin calls him "Bob." (edit) There is a reference to Trey Parker's hometown, Conifer, in this episode. (edit) The old man with the hat says at the DMV "I've never been in an accident in my life!" This isn't true. He crashed his car through the house earlier in the episode. (edit) When the couple is first driving to Country Kitchen Buffet, it is out in the middle of nowhere, with no buildings around. Later, when the boy's have locked the AARP out, it appears that the restaurant is actually located in the middle of town, near other buildings. (edit)

Halloween:

When Randy opens the door to find a dead body hanging down, it is similar to a scene in the popular 1978 horror movie Halloween. (edit) Aliens:

Cartman: Mostly hippies go to farmers markets.....mostly

When Cartman repeats "mostly" after saying hippies go to farmers markets it is very similar to when Newt says "And they mostly come at night...mostly" in the 1986 film Aliens. (edit) Braveheart:

Old guy with beard: You can take our licenses but you'll never take our pride.

This sentence was also used in the 1995 film Braveheart, only a little bit changed. "They may take away our lives, but they'll never take our freeeedoooomm." (edit) Title: Red Dawn:

The title of this episode and many of its scenes are a parody of the 1984 film Red Dawn.

Specific examples include the AARP troops parachuting into the town while Mr. Garrison lectures his class and sees them outside the window. Also many of the townspeople rounded up and held inside a prison camp, with Stan's dad talking to the boys through the fence and shouting "Avenge me!". (edit) Current Events: This episode references a real incident that happened in July 2003 in Santa Monica, California, where an 86-year-old man drove his mid-size Buick through a crowded farmers' market and killed 10 people (including an infant that died in the hospital the next day).
