Richard Belzer's most famous role is detective John Munch from Homicide: Life on the Street and later Law & Order: SVU. In the episode "Next Of Pin", Richard Belzer cameos as a detective who drafts Steve for his mystery solving skills.Obviously, Grimes voices him here as well. In "Boring Identity", the doctor that tells Francince of Stan's amnesia looks and sounds like Archie Morris, a character that Scott Grimes played in ER.At the same time, a kinky-haired ginger girl, voiced by Gellar's Buffy co-star Alyson Hannigan, gains an interest in Steve. In the episode Virtual In-Stanity, Stan controls an avatar voiced by Sarah Michelle Gellar to get back into Steve's life.It's even lampshaded to all hell and back. Hector Elizondo appears as a concierge, mimicking his famous role in Pretty Woman.His appearance also resembles a younger version of Booger. Snot's name is a reference to the fact his voice actor played Dudley "Booger" Dawson.He also says that two movies Scott Grimes was in, Critters and Critters 2: The Main Course, are crappy.
In one episode, Steve sings Scott Grimes' hit song, Sunset Blvd. Both characters are voiced by Seth MacFarlane. Another episode had Stan do an equally-terrible impression of Roger. There was an episode in which Roger disguised as Stan, but found that he's unable to mimic Stan's voice. "Making animal sounds" is pretty much Dee Bradley Baker's entire job description (though Baker does human voices as well he's even announced game shows). Klaus tries to get Stan to put him back in a human body and says he'll get a job making animal sounds. When Stan makes the obvious comparison, Avery angrily remarks that he doesn't even know what Star Trek is. Avery Bullock shows off a device exactly like a Star Trek holodeck. There are also several low-key visual gags which serve as allusions, such as Picard's distinctive fish tank showing up in Bullock's home. Best highlighted by his references to "Number One" in One Little Word. Any time the writers can get Avery Bullock to say something Picard-esque, they will. He trips over one of the tree's roots, falling over so he lands with the gun barrel in his mouth and accidentally pulls the trigger, blasting his skull to bits. 
The kidnapper runs in, carrying a shotgun and a length of rope.
Accidental Suicide: In "Roots", a Flashback shows young Stan hiding from a kidnapper in a tree. Francine's biological parents (who briefly appeared in Season 4) completely abandoned their daughter by giving her to one of the airport employees while boarding a plane, just because their flight didn't allow children on first class. Stan's father abandoned his family when Stan was eight years old, which traumatized Stan and all but ruined his childhood. Akiko and Toshi's mother, Hiko, is so obsessed with ensuring her children a high-quality college education that she forces them to learn skills such as violin playing and spelling, and rarely, if ever, allows them to socialize outside of school. 
I never thought I'd be part of their world because you and Hayley have always sucked at everything. Francine: This is just a little thank-you for turning me into one of the cool jock parents.
