Several nods to other films?

I noticed several elements of this film that reminded me of others.

Bad Santa (obviously, but more notably with the midget bunny scene)
Office Space (smashing up office equipment)
Tremors (getting splashed with septic tank sludge)
Risky Business (the golden egg)
The Team America finger/nose maneuver

and the odd reference to Apocalypse Now, which I haven't figured out yet.

Anything else?

The Apocalypse Now reference is actually to the making of Apocalypse Now, and the hell that that was.

Also don't forget Robocop. Watch this film back to back with the original Robocop and you will find many odd similarities.
