Spoofs in The Wedding Singer

Are there any specific cultural references I should be aware of in The Wedding Singer because I'm seeing it next week. I was just watching a clip of "Let Me Come Home" and Felicia is standing in the closet and smoke comes out. I don't get what that's about. Just give me the specifics. I'd really appreciate it.

yeah, thats not a culteral spoof, its just they're supposed to be in the basement of robbie's grandma's house, aka robbie's room, and the hot water heater is there. Lindas dancing all around and burns her hand, so she kicks it, steam comes out, and that's about all. If anything its just kind of a refference to the cheesy '80s rock music videos :) cause mtv first came out in the '80s right? that was kinda the beginning of that generation? so it may be a little bit about that, but mostly its just funny cause its all dramatic and.. linda-y. lol. There ARE culteral references though- particularly it'll help if you know some of the big 80s icons- liike Billy Idol, Tina Turner, Cindy Lauper, Amelda Marco (is that how you spell it?), that kind of thing :) oh, and one little detail that I'd never known that just kind of makes a couple of the jokes funnier- Ronald and Nancy Regan were the first people to really promote jelly beans. They liked them a lot. Thats all I'm gonna say, you'll get it when you see the show :) haha. So yeah, there are lots of references but they're ones that you def SHOULD get, at least if you live in the US and everything and are like.. 12 or older. Lets just say, I was born in '89 so I'm really not an '80s child, and from the little bit of I Love The 80s I've watched, and just from what I knew, I was able to get all but maybe a couple of the jokes
