The boat accident is a parody of a very popular internet video.
This was the last episode to be released by Fox before being purchased and acquired by Disney just ten days after it's release.
One of two Fox shows that dedicated their episode to Luke Perry that he guest-starred on; the other was I Want You (She's So Heavy) (2019)".
When Quagmire and Courtney are talking at the kitchen table, Glenn is pressed about how to respond to some of her questions and makes up facts using visual clues much like the film The Usual Suspects.
This is the second time that Quagmire has attempted (and failed) to have a relationship with a daughter he conceived. The first time it was a baby girl who he named "Anna Lee" (a pun on "anally").
