In this episode, the running joke "BingPot!" makes a return. It was first uttered accidentally by Jake in The Chopper (2015), when he tried to say "Bingo" but changed his mind to "Jackpot" mid-word.
Captain Holt, who is known for never making or understanding pop culture references, quotes Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory (1971) when he says,"You get nothing, you lose. Good day, sir!"
When Amy confronts Jake for eating pizza for breakfast, he defends himself by shouting "when pizza's on a bagel you can have pizza anytime!" This phrase is the longtime slogan for the popular kids' freezer snack Bagel Bites.
Captain Holt's corgi Cheddar is now tan and white, when in previous episodes is seen black, tan and white.
At the start of the episode, Amy and Holt laugh at Jake saying he's better-looking than a young Al Gore. In actual fact Andy Samberg and the younger Al Gore look quite similar.
