Instead of green-bean casserole, they all remember green-bean salad.
Cartman: "Alright, go home, you little semen-puking asshole dickhead!" - ahem, who was it that was sucking semen out of a hose whose other end was Ralph?
Groundhog Day reference in that the boys realize they're living the same day over, or rather, reliving a previous day. This déjà vu also occurs in the Star Trek: The Next Generation episode "Cause and Effect," where the crew suddenly realize that they are in a temporal loop and things keep happening over and over again. In the Star Trek episode, they had the same sort of realization scenes-they even do the "and then you said" part of it. They tried to find out what was happening and put a stop to it.
Cartman enjoys having Kyle stick a finger up his ass, as he had Kyle do that once before in "Fun with Veal." He enjoys it because this time he made Kyle do it over and over agian, only to fart on his finger each time.
Dukes of Hazzard reference in Chef driving the boys away from the aliens and performing stunts with his station wagon, and an announcer commenting on the action. The irony here is that Chef's car horn plays "Dixie," a tune that would surely have grieved his forebears.
Duke Nukem 3D and Quake II references in the chamber the boys find themselves in. The textures on the walls and the floor are similar to those found in those games.
Independence Day references in the name of the scientist, Jeff (Jeff Goldblum), and in the method he uses to arrive at a solution to a problem. From several viewers: "The line "Jackets.. If you don't wear a jacket you could get a cold . . . computer virus" is a reference to a scene in which David Levinson (Jeff Goldblum's character) stumbles onto the solution of disabling the alien ship's computer with a virus after his father tells him to put on a jacket before he catches a cold. Also, David was a computer expert seeing binary code on the screen and had to go through all the free association to get to the fact that it was binary!" Nobby notes that Matt and Trey said Independence Day was stupid.
"This is only the second time we've ever been in outer space." - the first time was in "Starvin Marvin in Space."
"Yeah, that's like that stupid movie, Contact." - reference to both "Tom's Rhinoplasty" and Matt and Trey's comments about the movie in the commentary for that episode.
The celebrities the alien transforms into, and their significance

The ultimate Reality TV show, a show about Earth!
At first, the boys don't touch any of the ice cream that falls out of Nagix's ass. But when two of the visitors work on Cartman's ass, Cartman is licking an ice-cream cone with two scoops of ice cream on it. Did those scoops come from the floor?
"Sixty. That's the number of episodes they made of Punky Brewster before it was cancelled." - Nope. Punky Brewster had four full years of episodes for 88 episodes in all. The complete list here. Six of these episodes were only 15 minutes long, due to football games that ran long.
The Gelgameks from "Red Hot Catholic Love" are referenced here. "The Biggest Douche In The Universe" is referenced twice: once in the restaurant and once on a screen at Fognl headquarters. The Marklar are mentioned in this ep.
"The Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy" is referenced when the demolition ball arrives to destroy Earth. "Seconds before the Earth is demolished to make way for a galactic freeway..."
"Welcome to Planet Fognl, home of the Joozians, who control all media in the universe." - pretty frank statement about the entertainment media. Many people believe that Jews control the media. Certainly there are many rich Jews in Hollywood, and some hold great power (Spielberg, Woody Allen). Jews have been involved with electronic media since the days of the silent movie, and they are said to make great bankers.
The Joozians have attributes stereotypical of the Jews, like large noses, somewhat nasal voices, suits.
"Yeah, a show should never go past a hundred episodes, or else it starts to get stale with ridiculously stupid plotlines and settings." - this episode was mentioned as the 100th in the series. This episode had a ridiculous plotline and several ridiculous settings - like Joozian sex - and this is by no means the first episode to have them.
Heavy Metal reference in having aliens snorting a cocaine-like drug.
Don't be surprised if Matt and Trey get emails about glorifying drug use in this episode, what with the Joozians snorting glach.
Where did Kenny get the Polaroid camera? Why didn't the Joozians take Kenny's picture (and camera) away?
