Sid calls the Inspector a "Keystone Kop".
From the Encyclopedia Britannica - "Keystone Kops.
Keystone Kops, an incredibly incompetent police force, dressed in ill-fitting, unkempt uniforms, that appeared regularly in Mack Sennett's silent-film slapstick farces from about 1912 to the early 1920s."
Baron Samedi and Maman Brigitte are the heads of the Ghede family, all Death Lwa, who are known for their hedonistic lifestyles. As a counterpoint to their work with death and the dying, the Ghede live life to the fullest, drinking, smoking, telling dirty jokes, and basically partying all the time.
The Ghede Fête is a festival of carousing and indulgence, befitting the lively spirits. And may be attended by all, regardless of religion, all are welcome.
Voodoo is monotheistic in name only. Like most religions, African paganism has a multitude of beings with powers far beyond any mortal, who created and control the world - a pantheon.
The members of the Voodoo pantheon have all the powers of the gods in other polytheistic religions, but are known as "spirits" instead of "gods", with a single Creator who they call "the supreme god", making Voodoo monotheistic technically, but not in reality.
Baron Samedi's wife, known as Maman Brigitte is a Celtic Goddess.
Maman Brigitte is the Celtic goddess Brigid, and the associated Saint Brigid of Kildare and is the Catholic Irish slaves' contribution to the voodoo religion.
The couple are known as the Lord and Lady of the Cemetery, and the Lwa of Death and Sex. Maman Brigitte is best known for her charm, and loving spirits, tobacco and lewd behaviour as much as her equally charismatic husband and is often depicted with his signature cigar and top hat, which she regularly claims as her own.
