This is in reference to the popular 80s movie "Flashdance". Also, the phrase "She's a maniac" appears in the song "Maniac", which was used in that movie.
  • Devo - The four guys with the keyboards in red hats that were seen entering the Belinda Carlisle Auditorium are based on the new wave band Devo, particularly in their 1980 Freedom of Choice tour outfits. When Timmy enters 1982, a soundalike version of 'Whip It' by the group is playing. One thing to note is how in this depiction there are 4 members of DEVO, where there were 5 members in reality.
  • Back to the Future - When Timmy travels to the 80's, you can see a DeLorean leave to time-travel. Also, March 15, the day where Crocker lost his fairy godparents, is also the day where George McFly (one of the main characters of the BTTF Trilogy) was murdered by Biff Tannen (another main character) in the alternate 1973 (also known as "1973A").
  • March 15 - The date, March 15, is also known as the Ides of March, the date Julius Caesar was assassinated. In Hungary, March 15th is a national holiday.
  • U-Haul - Timmy's parents used a "U-Lug" moving truck when they bought their home in the 1990s.
  • Belinda Carlisle - In the 80's, The Dimmsdale University's Auditorium's name is Belinda Carlisle Auditorium.
  • Motorola - Chet Ubetcha used to be taller, but was made short by the radiation from a bulky 80's cellular phone resembling the Motorola DynaTAC that he was holding next to him.

Goofs

  • When Mrs. Crocker was bringing Mr. Crocker a March 15 cake, the background behind her briefly shows the outside, even though the scene is taking place in Mr. Crocker's bedroom.
  • If you pay attention to Crocker's shadow while he's giving his speech, during the whole thing, his shadow's mouth stays in one position.
  • Also, Mr. Turner was called "Dad" back then in Father Time!, but in this episode when Timmy calls him that, his Dad does not recognize that name and attempts to correct Timmy with his real one, but is interrupted by a truck.
    • Since "Father Time!" takes place in 1970 and this takes place in 1972, it is possible that Mr. Turner outgrew the name to the point of not remembering it.
  • In the 80s scene, some things were non-existent yet, just like the DeLorean of Back In The Future or the music career of Belinda Carlisle.
