• The maypole message references a famous commercial for Reese's Peanut Butter Cups. The original lines were "You got chocolate in my peanut butter!" and vice-versa. This ad campaign has recently been renewed to advertise the caramel Reese's.
• Ectoplasm is the physical (fictional) stuff of souls.
• This familiar is a joke on a corn dog, or a "hot dog coated in cornbread batter and deep fried in hot oil … on a stick".
