  Episode Quotes  
Penny: You really expect me to go out with a clown?
Kelly: Why not? I've dated my share.
 
Penny: Who goes out with a guy who paints his face and wears funny clothes?
Donald: I do! I do!
 
  Cultural References  
Joe: Remember what we said in the 60s?
Donald: "Don't bogart that joint?"
Joe: No. "I am he, as you are he, as you are me, and we are all together."
Lou: Goo-goo-ga-joo, goo-goo-ga-joo, goo-goo-ga-joo.

"Don't Bogart That Joint" was a song by The Fraternity of Man on the Easy Rider soundtrack (and later covered by Country Joe and the Fish and Little Feat). Joe and Lou are quoting the Beatles' "I Am the Walrus."
 
Joe: Muriel Humphrey stabbed me with her umbrella by accident.

Muriel Humphrey was the wife of Lyndon Johnson's vice president Hubert Humphrey.
 
Lou: Now I understand how he can be a clown. His parents are white, just like all those kids at ABC.

A reference to ABC's Webster, which featured Emmanuel Lewis adopted by white parents (Susan Clark and Alex Karras).
