Trivia: "Something, Something, Something, Dark Side" is the only one of the three "Star Wars" spoofs in which the title doesn't come from something related to "Star Wars." It instead comes from a cutaway gag in the season 5 episode "Barely Legal."
Trivia: According to Seth MacFarlane, all of the abuse Meg suffers is due to the show's male writers' inability to write for a teenage girl.
