Notes[]
- Clifford mentions a list of family films that Rick Moranis is known for, to which Dr. Phil van Neuter adds Little Shop of Horrors. Clifford corrects him by saying that Little Shop of Horrors isn't a family film. However, Clifford included Parenthood in his own list, a film rated PG-13 by the MPAA for its sexually explicit content; Little Shop of Horrors is also rated PG-13.
- The Shrink-o-Matic Machine was a reference to Moranis' film Honey, I Shrunk the Kids.
- A clip of Great Moments in Elvis History from episode 101 is playing on the monitors in the commissary.
- Posters of "Cleopigtra" and "The Pigseidon Adventure" are seen in the commissary.
