  • The Mini-Storage rift leading to a time when "everything was on fire" is a double reference to the cartoon Family Guy in which Peter recalls building a time machine with a De Lorean, a reference to the 1985 movie Back to the Future, in which the time-traveling De Lorean must reach high speeds (88mph, to be precise) to begin the process. Peter jumps into the car, builds up speed, and promptly crashes into a building full of people, setting them and the building on fire, to which Peter exclaims, stunned, "Wow. Everyone in 1955 was on fire! I never knew that!"
  • Temporal rifts are a widely (over)used plot device in many science fiction works (such as Star Trek: The Next Generation and Star Trek: First Contact) as well as video games (such as Chrono Trigger).
