I could be wrong(and I probably am)but I think Biff was a reference to Biff Loman in A Death of a Salesman.

I'm confused about your second question.

That is Bif Bri, it's because Bif was the consummate looser with an 'L' tatooed on his forehead

Huh?....
because they don't use the same gag in every ep, they try to write "new" jokes for new episodes. It's refered to a couple of times (in Seinesque fashion) then they let it rest.
Only a few gags work time after time, like Kman's entries to 5A, a testament to Michael Richards' comedic skill.
