* ShoutOut: Stewie does this in the beginning of his speech at the Christmas pageant:
-->'''Stewie:''' Good evening. I'm playing the role of Jesus, a man once portrayed on the big screen by {{Creator/Jeffrey Hunter}}. You may remember him as the actor who was replaced by {{Creator/William Shatner}} on ''[[Series/StarTrekTheOriginalSeries Star Trek]]''. Apparently, Mr. Hunter was good enough to die for our sins, but not quite up to the task of seducing green women.

* DigitalPiracyIsEvil: Brian explains that the VCR stopped working since Peter tried taping ''Series/MondayNightFootball'' in a cutaway gag. As soon as Peter tries to record the show on his VCR, armed FBI officers kick down his front door demanding him to present the written consent from Creator/{{ABC}} and the NFL to record the show. Peter only has consent from the former, and so the FBI destroy his VCR.
