In addition to the chicken skin scene, the police officer in the karaoke scene is also the police officer in Silence of the Lambs who is partnered with the cop who gets his face cut off. Amusing little detail, I thought.

And Steven's mom is the Senator. Okay, I'm done.

I KNEW I wasn't the only one who noticed! I actually started a thread a few years ago pointing out those very details and no one responded!

Okay, okay, just one more, when The Cable Guy is talking on the phone to Steven at the end, his last line is very similar to Hannibal Lecter's last line to Clarice.

I don't see any of these and wish I had better recognizing skills. There are supposed to be a lot of cameos and the whole family seemed suspiciously like cameos. Even showed them in a group a few times. Now one of the family is Saul in Breaking Bad and Never Call Saul which is nuts. He became everyones hero.
