• When Ralph gets eggs and milk out of the refrigerator, he sings "I am the egg man! I am the milkman! I am the waffle! Koo koo kachoo!", parodying the lyrics from the Beatles song "I Am the Walrus".
• Ralph spills the flour canister, ends up covered in flour, and says "Whee! I'm fairy-dusted", a reference to Peter Pan and Tinkerbell.
• Mighty Mouse: When Ralph notices the mess he made with the flour and eggs, he says it looks like a job for his friend, "Mighty Mop".
• When he gets the mop out of the closet, he says to it, "Gee, your hair smells terrific!" which was a shampoo brand that was popular in the 1970s and 1980s in the USA. The shampoo's name became its own advertising slogan, which ended up being recognizable in pop culture longer than the shampoo itself.
• Cinderella: As he mops, he says, "I feel like I'm in a movie, and soon I'll turn into a beautiful princess!"
• Pull-Ups Training Pants: When Ralph cleans the mop in the toilet, he says that it's wetting itself and it needs to put on I'm a Big Boy Now Diapers, referencing the Pull-Ups advertising tagline, "I'm a big kid now!"
• As the house floods, Ralph sails a toy boat in the water and sings "Sailing, sailing, over the pounding brain!", a play on the lyrics from the children's song "Sailing, Sailing".
