Homer is freaked out by a Costington's ad in the newspaper that shows a pair of pants standing up by themselves, referencing the Dr. Suess short story "What Was I Scared Of?" which appeared in The Sneetches and Other Stories. In the story, the main character is frightened by a pair of pale green pants that stand up and walk around by themselves.
The Beverly Hillbillies: Parodied in The Beverly Hillbillies Down Under (the movie playing in Dr. Hibbert's minivan).
Alka-Seltzer: Referenced when Grampa (due to his rest home's changing his medication) runs amok in the streets, puts a bedpan on his head, and says, "Look at me! I'm Speedy Alka-Seltzer!" Speedy, one of the antacid's most popular ad characters, wears an Alka-Seltzer tablet as a hat, which means that Grampa really does resemble Speedy after he puts the bedpan on his head.
During the montage sequence where Moe spends time with Maggie (and Homer with a ham), the song playing is "You're My Best Friend" by Queen.
