• Canada - After Drew makes fun of Ryan's drill sergeant "at ease" pose, Ryan says, "I'm from Canada. That's how they stand."
• What Greatest Hits interrupts - "Hi. We'll be back to our politically-correct production of The Good, the Bad and The Beauty-Impaired."
• References to The Wizard of Oz - In Greatest Hits, Wayne sings about getting too hot and shrieks "I'm meltiiing!" like the Wicked Witch. In Props, Wayne demonstrates the biggest strip club in Oz (as a munchkin dancing around a small pole).
