Allusions[]
- The title of this episode is a combination of the phrases Déjà vu and Voodoo. Déjà vu is the perception of an experience that one may have recalled from their past, but retains no memory of such an instance, nor can one qualify the circumstances under which such an event may have occurred. Voodoo is a religion in which people cut off chicken heads, stick pins in dolls and make zombies.
- Natalie Connor's comment about "Insurance Adjusters Gone Wild" is a pun on Girls Gone Wild, which is a series of video documentaries that film party sequences where teenage females are encouraged to remove their tops in front of the camera.
- Doctor Lawrence is intended as a nod to Dr. Phil, who is a psychiatrist who hosts a television program in which he consults with patients on the set.
