- Continuity Nod: Linda's attraction to Francine gets mentioned when she's checking in on Francine under suspicion that she's being abused by Stan.
- Donut Mess with a Cop: Roger makes this joke when he crashes the car and the cops show up almost immediately.Roger: Cops already? What, are we next to a freakin' Krispy Kreme?Stan: You're thinking about donuts now?!Roger: No, I'm just saying the cops got here fast!Stan: What the hell do fast cops have to do with a Krispy Kreme?!Roger: Because cops love donuts!!Stan: You're not making any sense!!
- Everyone Has Standards: Stan is furious when Roger hits Francine.
- Jerkass: Roger crashes the car and blames a drunk Stan for it, resulting in him being put under house arrest and then arrested for everything that Roger did throughout the episode.
- Jerkass Has a Point: Stan is right that Roger has no idea what he's doing when it comes to being the man of the house and handling the family's problems.
- Powered Armor: Stan is tasked with demonstrating a new exoskeletal weapon platform to a group of senators. However, he has no idea how to operate it.
- Pre-emptive Declaration: After Roger's actions get Stan arrested, Roger visits him in prison and asks if he's mad at him.
- Tempting Fate: Bullock makes it clear that the new weapon is dangerous in unskilled hands, but has complete confidence in Stan. Stan ends up critically injuring Senator Dianne Feinstein.
- Those Wacky Nazis: Philip, one of Roger's coworkers at the car dealership, turns out to be a Neo-Nazi, and he makes the mistake of confirming this in front of a detective who's a Holocaust survivor.
- Wrong Genre Savvy: Roger thinks his car sales job is like a sitcom, which ends with him being fired because he trusts Philip, who he deems his sidekick.
