Mister Act - S20-E11
Trivia: When Peter first breaks out into a solo, the song he's parodying is "Tragedy" by the Bee Gees. Barry Gibbs was notorious for singing in a high voice (falsetto). At the end, during the tribute to rarely used exercise equipment, an instrumental version of "Tragedy" is played.
Trivia: In the flashback, young Lois is crying because the kids said she's MADtv funny and not SNL funny. Alex Borstein, who voices Lois, spent 5 seasons on MADtv.
Trivia: When Peter says "Mazel tov" and Lois asks where that came from, he says "from Marvelous Mrs. Mazel Tov. You should know that, Lois." Alex Borstein (who voices Lois) stars in the show "The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel."
Trivia: At the end of the episode, Peter shows he has one brain cell left. Inside his head, it shows the brain cell alone with glasses and saying he has time to read his books before leaning over. The glasses fall off and break, where he starts to cry that he had time to read them now but can't. This is a direct reference to this same thing happening in the 8th episode of season 1 of Twilight Zone where the last man alive breaks his glasses before he can read all the books he wants.

The Hand That Rocks the Wheelchair - S9-E12
Trivia: The scene in Stewie's room when the duplicate Stewie appears in the machine (along with familiar sound effects and dramatic music) is paying homage to the Star Trek original series S1:Ep 5, "The Enemy Within".

Trivia: As Peter and Meg walk, the walking music of The Flintstones is heard. Then the background of The Flintstones appears next to the Trump Tower.
Trivia: As Peter conducts a tour of reporters around the school, they come upon a scene in the hallway. He introduces the Hall Monitor X-L-K. It requests a hall pass from a girl, fails to recognize the pass, makes a second request, fails to see the pass, and opens fire, chasing the girl back to class. This scene was borrowed from Robocop (1987) when ED-209 was introduced, and had the same type of malfunction.

Episode VI: It's a Trap - S9-E18
Trivia: When Luke is killing some guys by the pit, a Wilhelm screamcan be heard. It's the same time the scream can be heard in Return of the Jedi.

Spies Reminiscent of Us - S8-E3
Trivia: Peter says that he can't believe he is eating with two of the Ghostbusters. Whilst Chevy Chase was not in Ghostbusters, he was in the music video for the Ghostbusters theme song.
Episode VI: It's a Trap - S9-E18
Trivia: When Jabba is about to let Luke die in the pit, he says "Mi-La-Ku-Nis", who voices Meg, represented in this scene as the Sarlacc.
Answer: Lacey Chabert was the actress who originally voiced Meg in early episodes. She left of her own accord due to being in school and other acting work; Seth MacFarlane has stated there was no tension with her leaving, but it makes for a handy joke for the show.
