Running Mates - S2-E10

Trivia: As Peter conducts a tour of reporters around the school, they come upon a scene in the hallway. He introduces the Hall Monitor X-L-K. It requests a hall pass from a girl, fails to recognize the pass, makes a second request, fails to see the pass, and opens fire, chasing the girl back to class. This scene was borrowed from Robocop (1987) when ED-209 was introduced, and had the same type of malfunction.

Movie Nut

Trivia: When Peter falls out of the tree and ends up with his bottom lip over his head, this is an homage to Carol Burnett's classic comedy routine where she describes the best way for men to experience the pain of childbirth. She tells men to grab their bottom lip, and pull it over their head.

Blue Harvest - S6-E1

Trivia: When an explosion on the Death Star sends an Imperial stormtrooper flying, the stormtrooper lets out a Wilhelm scream.

Suggested correction: I'd say given that all Star Wars movies use the scream, it would be unusual for it not to appear.

No Chris Left Behind - S5-E16

Trivia: When Peter and Ernie the Giant Chicken smash through the bottom of a monoplane during their fight, the pilot screams a Wilhelm scream as he is thrust into the air.

Long John Peter - S6-E13

Trivia: During the pirate duel between Griffin, his band of pirates and Shelley Boothbishop, the cannon in Peter's car fires upwards and breaks a utility pole in half. When the telephone worker who is working on it falls, he lets out a Wilhelm scream.

North by North Quahog - S4-E1

Trivia: During the car chase, Peter avoids the piano in the centre of the mall. Just before the priests crash into it, the pianist jumps out of the way and yells a Wilhelm scream.

Brian & Stewie - S8-E17

Trivia: The show is famous for its cutaway gags, but even in the uncut version of this episode, there is not a single one.

Barely Legal - S5-E8

Trivia: Throughout every season, Brian eats food like everyone else. In this episode, Meg shakes a bag of dog food and Brian comes running. This is the only episode where we ever even see dog food at all.

Family Guy Viewer Mail #1 - S3-E21

Trivia: In the superhero segment, all five Griffins get similar powers to those of the X-men. Stewie's telekinesis is similar to Xavier/Jean Grey, Chris' fire powers are similar to Pyro, Lois' super strength is similar to Colossus, Brian's speed is similar to Quicksilver, and Meg's nails are a reference to Wolverine's claws.

Underage Peter - S14-E14

Plot hole: They're in the Clam complaining that they can't drink when they make the revelation that Brian can because he's technically 56. But Quagmire should be able to drink, as in a much earlier episode, he's revealed to be over 60.

Suggested correction: Quagmire considers the rest of them to be his best friends. He isn't drinking because they can't drink. He is complaining because since his friends can't drink - he won't drink, so he is still pissed.

It's still a plot hole considering Quagmire's age. I think the writers messed up big time.

You make a good point, but it's awkward to be that one person who is drinking while surrounded by people who can't. So, I understand the correction that was submitted above. Because his friends are not drinking, he now feels that he can't.

It's 100% a mistake. Quagmire simply would buy them alcohol the same way Brian did when they realized he could.

Barely Legal - S5-E8

Connie: You know, Meg, there's no dogs allowed. So, you're going to have to leave. But Brian can stay.
Brian Griffin: You know, Connie, I think I have this theory about why you're such a bitch.
Connie: Excuse me?
Meg Griffin: Brian, let's just go.
Brian Griffin: No, no, no, no, no, no. Hang on a minute, Meg, hang on. You see, Connie, you're popular because you developed early and started giving handjobs when you were twelve. But now you can't stand to look in the mirror because all you see is a whore. So you pick on Meg to avoid the inevitable realization that once your body's used up by age nineteen, you're gonna be a worn out chalky skinned burlap sack that even your own stepdad won't want. How is that? Am I in the ballpark?
[Connie runs off crying].

Brian Sings & Swings - S4-E19

Question: In this episode Meg pretends to be a lesbian, when she calls herself a 'mega lesbian' it shows four other 'mega lesbians' singing something on deep voices. What song are they singing? Is it a real song?

strikeand

Chosen answer: It's a real song called "Elvira". Originally by Dallas Fraizer in '66, however, this version seems to be the Oak Ridge Boys cover version. However, the mega lesbians skip the verse and just sing the chorus after the opening line.
