 The episode begins with a costume party , where Brian and Stewie are both dressed as Snoopy from Peanuts , Quagmire dresses up as Napoleon Dynamite , Peter as Laura Bush , Lois as Michael Dutton Douglas , Joe as Mark Spitz ( although people believe he is a crippled Thomas Magnum ) , and Cleveland as Charlie Chaplin . Woodstock , another character from Peanuts also makes a cameo appearance . The popular conversation between Stewie and Brian which draws attention to a hard " h " consonant sound is directly sourced from dialogue within the film Hot Rod . Stewie finds a book entitled Horton Hears Domestic Violence in the Next Apartment and Doesn 't Call 911 ! , a parody of Horton Hears a Who ! Cleveland 's deadpan exclamation of " ... and boom goes the dynamite " is a reference to the popular catchphrase which became an Internet sensation . Cleveland and Carolyn meet at a Starbucks . Peter doesn 't remember the name of Cleveland 's ex @-@ wife ( Loretta ) and he guesses that it 's Jennifer Hudson . When Brian lies and says that he thinks Loretta is beautiful and that her personality is only slightly abrasive his nose grows , which is a reference to a scene in the film Airplane ! , which in turn is a reference to Pinocchio . When the family is mediating with Cleveland on whether or not to get back with Loretta , Peter accuses Brian of pushing Cleveland back with Loretta just so he himself could have Carolyn , and Peter says , " You know , Brian , sometimes I don 't believe I know you , " in a low and harsh tone ; this is a quote from The Sound of Music , where Captain Von Trapp utters the same thing to Max Detweiler in response to his indifference to the Nazi invasion of Austria . When Quagmire tries to seduce Loretta , he strips naked and says , " Eh @-@ neeek @-@ chock " , to enlarge his penis , which is a reference to Apache Chief and is implied to enlarge , along with the sound effects accompanying the phrase.When Quagmire runs into Cleveland at the hotel where Lorreta is , Cleveland asks why he is nude . Quagmire responds , " What ? ! People have been telling me that I have been wearing robes made from the most beautiful silk ! " That is a reference from a book , The Emperor 's New Clothes .
