The Kiss Seen Around the World - S3-E8
Question: Who's Roman Polanski?
Answer: A movie director. Was married to Sharron Tate, who was murdered by Charles Manson's followers. Won an Oscar for Best Director for the Piano. Any search engine will give you more info on him.
Question: Who's that Jamaican looking guy who stands by the fridge and does a little dance when Lois and Meg are talking about rigging the Homecoming Queen contest?
Answer: I believe that was Milli of the once famous Milli-Vanilli. His act broke up when it was discovered that he and Vanilli were lip synching to someone else's songs.
Question: Why isn't Norm MacDonald credited with voicing the role of Death in the first episode the character appears? Also, why was he later replaced by Adam Carrolla?
Answer: He did an uncredited cameo, often this happens if the actor's don't like their billing. Afterwards, he was too tied up with other projects to return.
Question: At the end of the episode we can hear a truck reversing with a signal beeping and drill whirring, gear grinding - what was going on with Joe and Bonnie?
Answer: It's just a joke about what an ordeal it is to move Joe around when he's not in his wheelchair.
Answer: It's an exaggeration of using electric sex toys because Joe can't have regular intercourse because he's numb from the waist down.
Answer: Joe and Bonnie are getting intimate here I believe. It's showing what an ordeal it is for Joe to have sex, since paraplegics basically can't.
Question: "Now we just need the 50 bucks. Damn it, I knew I shouldn't have named that star for Mort. Ugh! Just give me the money." I didn't understand that joke - can someone please explain it to me?
Answer: There are companies in real life that will let you name stars after someone as a gift (although the star name won't go on any official government registry). You pay a company (in Peter's case for $50) for this privilege and they'll send that you information where the star is located. Mort is then looking at the star named after him. But it's as useless of a gift as you can imagine since it doesn't really mean anything and you can't do anything with it and Mort knows Peter spent money to do it. Mort would rather have had Peter just give him $50 cash as a gift. One could say it's a joke about the stereotype that Jews love money, but in this case a lot of people would rather have money over a useless gift.
Question: The scene where Quagmire wakes up at Sonja's apartment, he gets up and tells her that he's going to the bathroom. She stops him and tells him to take the wine glass and that they can use it later. What does this mean?
Chosen answer: She wants him to pee in the wine glass to use the urine in sexual play.
Chitty Chitty Death Bang - S1-E3
Question: In the flashback where Lois gives birth to Stewie. The doctor says they aren't done, and she says "Oh my God, is it twins?" With this episode being made in the late 90s, would it even be possible for a twin to go undetected until birth?
Answer: Parents can request to not know the results of an ultrasound if they want to be surprised about the baby's gender. The doctor still would have let them know whether or not to expect twins, though, so the doctor is just as puzzled as Lois to find something else in there.
Question: In the alternate timeline, Quagmire and Lois are married. In the kitchen, Lois takes a pie out of the oven and Quagmire says "Hey honey I'm ready for your pie and you made dessert too". Now I know this is some sort of sex joke or dirty pun. But what exactly does the joke mean?
Chosen answer: Pie is a slang for a woman's vagina. That's the meaning of this double entendre. He want to have sex with her and she just happened to have baked dessert.
Question: Why did Lois call Bonnie Debbie outside Stewie's foster home?
Answer: There doesn't seem to be any reference hiding behind this, just a slip-up by Alex Borstein, the voice of Lois. The reason for this slip-up, according to one fan site, is that originally Bonnie was named Debbie.
Question: Why did the original girl that did Meg's voice (Lacey Chabert) leave Family Guy? Did she really think she was too good and famous for Family Guy or what? You can tell Meg's voice changed, going from Lacey Chabert to Mila Kunis.
Answer: From the IMDB: Mila Kunis replaced an uncredited Lacey Chabert as the voice of Meg in the second production season. Erratic air dates and production times saw various second season episodes aired before first season episodes on FOX, causing the voice of Meg to jump back and forth. One episode ("There's Something About Paulie") features a Season 1 production code but a Season 2 Meg so it is included on the R2/R4 Season 2 DVD set. Cast and crew members all seem to have different stories on why she left. Some say it was because of failed contract negotiations, while others say it was because she didn't agree with the show's content.
Question: I've noticed that every time Louis mentions Quagmire's name, she calls him Glen. I don't remember it mentioned anywhere in any of the episodes that his first name is Glen. Does anybody know for sure if this is his first name, and if not, why does Louis call him by that name?
Answer: I have come across this many times with family and friends. It is quite informal calling someone by a nickname or surname and is usually only done by close friends. Maybe Lios would find it impolite to call Glen "Quagmire" as she does not know him as well as Peter does.
Answer: In the episode "Meet The Quagmires" it became apparent that Glen and Lois and Peter all knew each other in high school, even though this contradicted the original meeting of Peter and Quagmire on a navy boat in the flashback of the episode "Death Lives."
One If By Clam, Two If By Sea - S3-E4
Question: Who voices Sylvester Stallone in this episode? It is not listed on IMDB.
Answer: It's Alan Shearman.
Answer: According to IMDb, it's John Viener.
How is that possible? This episode aired in 2001 and Viener didn't join "Family Guy" until 2005.
Viener voiced Stallone in a season 4 episode. According to IMDb, Alan Shearman played him in this episode.
Answer: Yes, it was a goof that no-one caught (according to Alex Borstein). And this mistake has already been listed.
Road to the Multiverse - S8-E1
Question: What was the code specifically Stewie put in when opening the safe to get the out-of-this-world gadget after returning from the carnival with Brian?
Answer: I don't think it's meant to be anything. To start with, the keypad is 4x4, so too big to be a 0-9 keypad and not big enough for all the English letters. Plus, some of the buttons look like they have letters, some look like shapes, and some are blank.
Question: Which episode is it where they referenced Beetlejuice's wife being angry because Lydia calls him?
Answer: I believe you're thinking about "Robot Chicken."
8 Simple Rules for Buying My Teenage Daughter - S4-E8
Question: I've seen a few episodes of "Everybody Loves Raymond", but I don't get this joke. Why did Meg use the show to tell Neil to leave her alone?
Answer: Everybody Loves Raymond is one of the few TV shows that talks directly to the viewers (such as during the intro) So Meg uses this opportunity to talk to Neil.
Answer: I think because "Everybody Loves Raymond" was a very popular show at the time. There was a good chance of Neil receiving Meg's message.
Question: Why does Quagmire hate Brian all over again after telling him "he's a good man" and giving him a bachelor party?
Answer: Because he's thinking that Brian is not as trash as he first thought. In an earlier episode you can see Quagmire saying everything he hates about Brian, him being scum, trash pretending to be deep, etc. So when he sees Brian not using a girl and being a jerk, but seeming exactly in love and about to marry her he changed his opinion of him.
Answer: Of course they can understand him, they talk to him all the time. They just think he is being silly or a baby when he expresses a want to take over the world.
