Cites please;

  • The title is a play on a line in "A Charlie Brown Christmas", the famous Peanuts special.
  • The chase sequence parodies the "Escape from the Hospital" scene of Terminator 2: Judgment Day, when the main characters are chased by the T-1000.

  • At the end of the episode, Manson's jail cell has books on a shelf created by him, and one was called "Are you there God? It's me, Manson" which is a reference to the book Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret.
  • Manson's forehead swastika, after his change of heart, is replaced with a happy face. During the car chase, it also briefly turns into a Visitor.
  • When Uncle Howard decides how to escape the police, he says, "We're coming out through the bathroom window," a variation of the title of the Beatles song "She Came in Through the Bathroom Window".
  • They never refer to Manson as "Charles", the name he's better known as, just "Charlie", most likely for the sake of the Charlie Brown parody.
