Trivia[]

When Early heads into the burning house to recuse aunt Lil, Granny, while holding the tennis photo, asks "Where's Bill", presumably referring to someone's name or mispronounced Lil's name as "Bill".
Interestingly, the family's outhouse and Lil's "P-nuts and hairdo's" sign were the only objects that weren't burned down.
The lightbulb from the episodes "This Show Is Called Squidbillies" and "Rebel with a Claus" reappears.
Rusty is nicknamed "Russell Donny Russell".
Interestingly, the building that the UFO steals a water dispenser has the same office where Glenn works at, suggesting that this office is located in a separate building from Dan Halen Sheet Rock International.
The green orb throwed by the aliens' UFO to blow up and burn the Cuyler House and the land of Dougal County, which turns into a large golf course, is taken from another alien themed episode, which is "Bubba Trubba", albeit green instead of red.

Cultural References[]

Early has cans of his University of Georgia 1980 national championship special edition junkyard dog red soda. They have images of a head of a bulldog on it, the year "1980", and the word "Champs", which is a reference to the Georgia Bulldogs, a real life football team that was previously featured in the episode "The Good One".
The Sheriff mentioned that Early had the original bones for Cale Yarbrough, who is a real life American race car driver.
- Early mentioned tragedy of never sharing the bones with the Sheriff, although the latter does mention that he is still alive at the time, but Early claims that he wasn't here in the fire.
