* Stewie uses the pseudonym of "Tony Dovolani" to write his play. He also uses the name of "Gorgeous Randy Flamethrower" to play dodgeball.
* In the final scenes, several bilboard advertisements can be seen featuring stylized versions of an Apple iPhone, a Coca-Cola bottle, and the Tesla Model S in Times Square as the camera pans down.
* At the Clam when Brian is talking about his play, he is wearing a tuxedo, complete with shoes. On some occasions when he wears a tux such as in "Brian Sings and Swings", he never wears shoes. The DVD commentary makes a note of the inconsistency.
* It took Peter one year to figure out Stuart Little.
* Brian stole a line in his play from an episode of Seinfeld.
* This is the second time Brian purposely kills a squirrel. The first time being in "Family Guy Viewer Mail No. 2".
* The DVD commentary reported the pterodactyl shriek was "borrowed" from The Superfriends.
* Seth MacFarlane received a nomination for Outstanding Voice-Over Performance at the 65th Primetime Emmy Awards for playing Brian, Stewie and Peter in this episode. http://www.emmys.com/nominations/2013/Outstanding%20Voice-Over%20Performance
