Of course the TV show “Where’s my pants?” is probably making fun of the father who is probably often saying “Honey, where’s my pants?”
Here is one more tidbit: in the movie there is a sort of a jail called the “brain trust” which symbolizes the father’s minifig display case. The display appears for just a second in the background during the movie. My 14 year old noticed this and made the connection. 🙂
