This episode was broadcast after Super Bowl XXXII (Green Bay Packers vs Denver Broncos).
Prell (leader of the Venusians) calls on two of her minions, Pert and Pert Plus, to 'bring out the new one.' At another point, Prell calls on Pantene and Breck to 'get our visitors a refreshment.' Pert, Pert Plus, Pantene and Breck are the names of shampoos. Sally, after joining the Venusians, is given the name Paul Mitchell, which is yet another brand of shampoo.
