So, Moe went from rags to riches, eh?

The new Channel 6 News team is Elvira, Bumblebee Man, and Kent Brockman, who is eyeing Elvira's cleavage just like Zero Mostel in this photo:

The couch gag is a repeat: 1. The Honeymooners 2. The Dick Van Dyke Show 3. The Brady Bunch 4. Cheers

When Lou is dancing at Moe's, Lionel Ritchie can be seen in the background.

Lionel Ritchie actually danced on the walls and ceiling in the "Dancing on the Ceiling" music video:

Mexican Duff is "Blood of the Dead".

I suppose the cloth is supposed to be the Bayeux Tapestry:

"If you let me in I'll give you the Heimlich!" What kind of double- entendre was that?

Tales of the Arabian Nights. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/One_Thousand_and_One_Nights

Michaelangelo, The Agony and the Ecstasy, etc.

So, Moe's dad was The Abominable Snowman.
