Lee appears as one of the "Four Horsemen of the Confederacy" along with Stonewall Jackson, Jefferson Davis and Pac-Man on a large stone mountain (coincidently called with the same name) which is the world's appropriately named mountain in the southeast, which Early used yellow stray paint from a can on the said mountain in Atlanta, to stray paint his art of Pac-Man, but only to be caught by their police in the said county.
  • The world's largest painting is the "Battle of Atlanta" which is also used as a location, as Early, Russell and Sheriff visit it, later Russell hangs onto the painting.

  • Ironically, when Early and Rusty are sitting in the stadium, many more people are sitting in the seats around them while the two are in the middle of watching the "Tool Dash" competition, but oddly enough, when a tie is placed for Extension Cord and Drop Cloth in Tool Dash, the next scene shows many emptiness seats in the stadium, which implies that many people leave offscreen. One last person is also seen leaving his seat, presumably due to the tie, but yet the Father & Baby and the kid who had his chilidog stolen by Rusty, don't even leave their seats, which are next to Early, Rusty and Sheriff.
  • The "Cage Match" death match segment features a giant skeleton saying "Cage Match!" and holding a battle arena with fiery background present.
    • After Drop Cloth defeats the Extension Cord, he wears a Dan Halen which is over 14.99.
  • According to the Sheriff, Drop Cloth always wins these type of things meaning the Drop Cloth beats "Tool Dash" every-time at the baseball game.

References & Allusions[]

  • Pac-Man from the Pac-Man video game series makes a cameo as a stray paint drawing and Early says his famous "wacka wacka wacka" speech when he was stray painting the drawing to be on the "Horsemen of the Confederacy" on Stone Mountain, making him the fourth horsemen, and now part of the confederacy due to Early's stupidity.
    • Coincidently, Early also mentions the name "Donkey Kong", when he is stray painting Pac-Man.
  • The 1982 movie "Six Pack" is also mentioned when Sheriff mentions that scene Kenny Rogers shot the scene with the kids in that movie and the location is used here. Sheriff mentions this scene over two times in the episodes.
    • The 1979 song "The Coward of the County" by Kenny Rogers, is also mentioned by the Sheriff which himself stood right there where the filming of movie was recording.
    • Coincidently, this episode's description on Adultswim.com has the words "Atlanta, home of several shots used in Six Pack, starring Kenny Rogers."
  • On the tray that the Sheriff is holding has a milkshake cup, a meatball and a red box of French fries can be seen with a bottle of beer. This is a reference to an another Adult Swim Show called Aqua Teen Hunger Force, in reference to the show's main characters Master Shake, Meatwad and Frylock.
    • Coincidently, the meatball has the exact same shape as Meatwad.
  • The Dan Halen Yard & Garden Center Tool Dash is a reference to the Home Depot Tool Race at Turner Field (later at Truist Park post-2016). Both races feature CGI animated tools racing around the field set to "Sabre Dance" by the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra.
  • The "Battle of Atlanta" painting is actually the Atlanta Cyclorama, now located at the Atlanta History Center. At the time of this episode's premier, the painting would've been housed at the Atlanta Cyclorama & Civil War Museum.
    • Sheriff is technically correct about the Cyclorama being the world's largest painting, as it was considered such until 1894 when it was surpassed by "The Racławice Panorama" in Wrocław, Poland.
