*In Binky's dream he sarcastically tells Thruster he is Engelbert Humperdinck, which could refer either to the classical [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engelbert_Humperdinck_(composer) German composer] (best known for the opera "Hänsel und Gretel") or to the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engelbert_Humperdinck_(singer) British singer] who named himself after the composer.

*Buster claiming he wanted to wear his robot pajamas to the sleepover, but he had to wear the cowboy ones because the robot ones are in the washing machine might be a reference to the plot of Toy Story, where a cowboy toy gets replaced by a space toy, which itself is a parody of a cultural phenomenon of the 1950s, where kids wanted to be cowboys. But with the launch of Sputnik and the subsequent space race between the US and the Soviet Union, kids wanted to grow up to be astronauts and abandoned their cowboy toys, which is explored even further in Toy Story 2.
 
*Binky's dream of him ending up in the future, yet not visibly aging might be a reference to Futurama.
*This episode is a reference to what Terry said in Futurama which was "Welcome to the World of Tomorrow!".
