At a big dinner, the Warners meet a fellow named Francis "Pip" Pumphandle, who keeps on droning on and on about random stories involving Bob Barker and bologna and cheese balls and they try in haste to avoid him.
Dot says, "Please, sir, I want more" in a British accent, and Yakko, as a Beadle (parish constable) says, "More?!" This is a reference to the Charles Dickens novel Oliver Twist.
Among the patrons of the restaurant are:
Cher sitting with Jack Nicholson. Cher is seen pouring sugar into her coffee in reference to her time as spokesperson for Equal sugar substitute. Both Cher and Nicholson were in the film The Witches of Eastwick.
Kirk Douglas can be seen eating a ham.
Dustin Hoffman and Meryl Streep from Kramer vs. Kramer are seated in between Michael Richards, who played Kramer on Seinfeld. This is mentioned in the Please Please Please Get a Life Foundation cartoon.
Michael Keaton is seen seated with Arsenio Hall.
Morgan Freeman watches Clint Eastwood char a steak, both of them were in the film Unforgiven.
Tom Selleck watches Marlon Brando (as Don Vito Corleone from The Godfather) make a glutton out of himself. His speech about Christopher Columbus is a reference to his appearance in the panned 1992 WB film Christopher Columbus: The Discovery, which Selleck won a Razzie for and Brando was nominated for a Razzie.
Wakko vacuums Sigourney Weaver's hair, a reference to Weaver's performance as Ripley in ALIEN³.
The name of the restaurant is "Impetago", a play on impetigo, a bacterial skin infection found in younger children. It is also a play on Spago, a restaurant in Los Angeles owned by Wolfgang Puck.
Pip mentions "a chimpanzee whose name was Fred" and his girlfriend whose name he forgot. This is a reference to real life chimps named (and I am not making this up!) J. Fred Muggs, and his companion, Phoebe B. Beebe.
Yakko sings most of the planets (including Pluto, which was considered a planet at the time) in the solar system, but at the end, Wakko tells him that he forgot Uranus, to which Yakko replies, "Goodnight, everybody!"

At one point, there is a parody of Star Trek, with caricatures of Captain Kirk and Mr. Spock appearing.
Mindy and Buttons pass by a television playing a space version of Gilligan's Island.
This is the first time Buttons squawks like a chicken in fear.
Chase Ending

The Warners return to the water tower via a trampoline from Wakko's gag bag. When Ralph attempts to use the trampoline, the trampoline closes on him. The Warners just shrug and go back into the water tower.
Trivia
This is the only chase ending with dialogue. The Warners say, "Boingy boingy boingy!" when jumping on the trampoline. Ralph says the same.
