* The Dark Rider cannot speak because he has no mouth, but a mask painted on, rendering him mute. Because of this, Clyde calls the highwayman "{{w|Silent Bob}}." Silent Bob is the titular highly reserved in speech character from the comic ''Clerks'' alongside his more vocal friend Jay, though he is not mute; rather he speaks when he has something profound to say.
* Clyde says his bike was not stolen by "[[E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial|E.T.]] the [[ASBO]]."  
* When Luke gives Clyde's drawing of the puzzle box to the Mona Lisa, Clyde tells him, "I don't know right what you're doing, my Padawan, but you've gone right over to the Dark Side." This is a reference to ''[[Star Wars]]''.
* Clyde tells Rani that every shady thing that happens isn't always because of an alien. He says his bike was not stolen by "E.T. the [[ASBO]]." E.T. is the titular alien from Steven Spielberg's ''[[E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial]]'', and ASBO is an acronym for Anti-Social Behaviour Order.
* When Rani criticises Clyde's troubles with reading a map, Clyde defends himself by saying he was once in the "Cubs", referring to the Cub Scouts, a younger division of Scouting which sometimes precedes entrance into the Boy Scouts, an organisation founded by Lord Baden Powell that acts to instil young boys with skills useful in life and the wilderness, such as reading maps and orienteering. Clyde also mentions he got himself kicked out.
