- The title is a reference to the film City Slickers and its sequel, City Slickers II: The Legend of Curly's Gold.
- Roger asks a co-worker "Did you see that episode of Seinfeld last Thursday 10 years ago?", referencing the sexual harassment trial that took place in the mid-90's after a man was fired for discussing risque events with a female co-worker in "The Junior Mint" episode.[1]
- Stan's outfit near the end with Ollie's gold looks exactly like Indiana Jones' outfit.
- Roger's alter ego Laura Vanderbooben's name is a parody of Laura Vandervoort.[2]
- Stan's song explaining the Iran-Contra affair was done in a style of ABC's Schoolhouse Rock. Roger's appearance when he says "Crap! That's the end." parodies the "Darn! That's the end" closing of the song "Interjections!"
- When Stan first attempts to stage the discovery, he says "Here's looking at you, gold!", a parody of the famous line from Casablanca "Here's looking at you, kid."
- When he peers through the hole in the living room floor, Stan's words parody the reaction of Howard Carter when he first opened the tomb of Tutankhamun.
