* Since Larry is stuck in TheSeventies (and dressed appropriately), he partly dances at the club like Creator/JohnTravolta in ''Film/SaturdayNightFever''. And [[ThatRussianSquatDance like a Cossack]], similarly to the ''SNF'' parody in ''Film/{{Airplane}}'', including a similar gag involving the girl being thrown up into the air and taking several seconds to come back down. Finally, the song that plays on the dance floor is [[RockMeAmadeus a funky version]] of [[Music/LudwigVanBeethoven Beethoven's Fifth Symphony]], just like Walter Murphy's "A Fifth of Beethoven" from the ''SNF'' soundtrack.
