Trivia:
- Thugnificent’s initial response to Obama’s first name is a reference to an interview that DMX did with XXL.
- Later in the episode, Granddad says “Don’t tase me, bro!” to an armed security guard at Obama’s inauguration before being tasered. (University of Florida Taser incident)
- The Dick Ridin’ Obama song is a parody of the songs “Yes We Can” and “It’s a New Day”, by Will.I.Am. Thugnificent was featured in the video.
- After Obama’s electoral victory is announced on TV, Sarah says that “for the first time in my life, I’m proud to be an American,” a reference to a similar quote by Michelle Obama, speaking in Milwaukee, Wisconsin during the 2008 presidential campaign.
- Thugnificent says he will replace the word “N***a” with “Obama” and “Bitches” with “Michelle,” a reference to a similar statement made by Jim Jones.
- The title is a reference to the 1966 Peanuts special It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown. It is the second time a Peanuts animated special was referenced in a title- the first being “A Huey Freeman Christmas” (A Charlie Brown Christmas)
- When Granddad is exchanging the picture of Huey and Riley with one of Obama, a picture of the cast of The Warriors can be seen as well as a picture of economist Thomas Sowell.
- Tom and Sarah are shown wearing Obama Girl and Boy t-shirts. Sarah’s shirt is in reference to the viral video and internet star Obama Girl.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
