One of the menu items at The Grassy Knoll is a smoothie called "The Jack Ruby Red Berry Blast", which is a reference to Jack Ruby shooting Lee Harvey Oswald dead two days after the JFK assassination.

- Abe's involvement with the war also mirrors his original version's involvement with the real Civil War, wherein they both tried to resolve the battle.
- Abe appropriately quotes "A House Divided against itself cannot stand", in response to Joan and Cleo's room division. This was obviously from one of his original version's many famous speeches, Both of these quotes were made in regard to their respective wars.
