Cultural references
- The episode title is a reference to the idiom "my way or the highway", which is also a recurring lyric in the song "My Way" by Limp Bizkit and could also be a reference to either "Highway to Hell" by AC/DC or the TV drama series Highway to Heaven.
- Ludwig van Beethoven appears in Heaven, next to Tupac, playing his Fifth Symphony.
- Tracy Morgan appears in Heaven, and God asks him why he's there after getting better, a reference to his critical illness after his accident in 2014 caused by a Wallmart trucker. In a future episode, Baby You Can't Drive My Car, he'll actually play a tow-trucker.
- The Apollo 14 moonlanding is shown.
- Ned mentions Gunsmoke and a short clip was shown of it on tv.
- Jimi Hendrix appears in Heaven.
- In Heaven, Maude Flanders is paired with Abraham Lincoln, while Edna Krabappel is paired with George Washington.
- A wooden case is labeled Ark of the Covenant, containing the ghosts of the ark.
- Christopher Columbus appears in Heaven, getting lost in the way to the bathroom, just like he got lost on his way to India, and found America instead.
