Trying to spot all the references to Al's previous work. So far, here's what I've seen.

Poster for "UHF" - in bedroom during "Never gotta wear your sister's old clothes" line
Banner for "Straight Outta Lynwood" - on side of bus
Cover of "Alapalooza" on back of register
"White and Nerdy" referenced - on crane during "Top Ramen" scene
"My Bologna" referenced - bologna flavored seasoning during the "Top Ramen" scene
Channel 62 (from UHF) - icon on the wall during in the beginning of the video in the scene of Al dressed like a pimp. This is easily the most obscure reference I've seen so far.

Possible References (not sure if they're intentionally referencing Al's work or not):

"Bob" writte on box - during the "You can watch whatever you like" line.
Fatbagel - Name of the bagel shop - possibly a reference to "Fat"

Has anybody seen any others that I missed?

I thought it was great, though I think the wife/girlfriend was smiling too much. I feel she should have had a disapointed expression on her face. I liked the references to Alapalooza and Straight Outta Lynnwood.

The Yankovictims event is in Albuquerque, NM.
It says "Eat It!" on the box of Uncle Al's rice.
The cash register brand name/manufacturer is CNR.
Some of the "brands you can afford" at the electronics store are "Prince Purplerain" and "Demento."
The brand of 9V battery is Polkarama Alkovic.
The brand of paper towels is Borg-9, with a picture of Ernest Borgnine on the package.

The Kostgo card says that Weird A. Yankovic is in the Super Cubic Zirconia ... Club. With Cubic Zirconia being a reference to Confessions.

I don't get the reference to Ernest Borgnine. How is that an Al reference? Also the cubic zirconia isnt really an Al reference, i dont think. Its a parody of "gold club" type memberships. Good eye on those other ones, though!

I know of a couple of 27s and album references that haven't been spotted yet but I'll never tell.

What other album references did you see? I just watched again and spotted a little accordion in the top right of the screen during the video game driving segment.
