Episode Notes |
| |
On the initial FOX airing of this episode, Peter's line after he catches Brian peeing himself at the supermarket is, "Geez, Brian, where do you think you are, K-Mart?". In all reruns (TBS reruns, Cartoon Network reruns, and syndication) and on the DVD version, the line is changed to, "Geez, Brian, where do you think you are, Payless?"
| The FOX version of this episode edits out the cold opening where Stewie dreams of killing Mr. Rogers on an episode of "Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood", while the syndicated version edits out the part where Stewie points out that Mr. Rogers' last name rhymes with "eliminate". The Cartoon Network, DVD, and TBS versions all have this scene uncut.

Brian: Yeah. He thinks I'm in love.
Peter: Oh my God...you can talk!
| (Peter is trying to potty train Stewie)
Peter: C'mon Stewie, don't you want to pee in the toilet like a big boy?
Stewie: Well, perhaps I could give it the old college try. Would you put your hands there on the toilet seat, it'll help me relax.
Peter: OK. (Stewie slams toilet seat down on Peter's fingers.) AAAHHHHHH!!!!
Stewie: Listen you, I'll use these facilities when I'm DAMN WELL READY!!!! Until then you shall continue to sanitize my crevice and be DAMN GRATEFUL FOR THE OPPORTUNITY!!! Starting right . . .hmmp. . . hmmmp. . . . .hmmmmmp well then, not now, BUT SOON! (Walks off.)
| Lois: Stewie, did you unhook mommy's bra?
| Tricia Takanawa: Thank you, Diane. Sex. Some people have it anonymously. What kind of person would do that you might ask? Well, I'm about to find out. I've just picked up a complete stranger in a hotel bar and he's in the bathroom right now,
possibly doing drugs. Watch as I have sex with this potentially dangerous man, as we take you in-depth and undercover.
(Quagmire walks into the room in his boxers and lays down on the bed.)
Quagmire: I've never had a Spanish chick before! O-LE!!!

Mr. Rogers: What the?!
Stewie: Oh, I wouldn’t bother visiting the Neighborhood of Make-Believe today, Mr. Rogers, as I dare say you’ll find it quite in ruin.
Mr. Rogers: What?!
(Mr. Rogers looks through the trolley’s tunnel; he sees King Friday XIII and Queen Saturday hanging on a noose while Prince Tuesday and Daniel Striped Tiger are dead in the castle’s dungeon. The screen moves right and he finds X the Owl dead in his tree and Lady Elaine Fairchilde is seen spinning lifelessly on her Museum-Go-Round. Henrietta Pussycat comes running by, all the while on flames)
Henrietta Pussycat: Meow, meow, meow, skin graft, meow, meow, meow, meow!
| Peter: (as Brian pees on the floor in supermarket) Geez, Brian. Where do you think you are? Payless?
| Peter: Golf is a great game. You know, my great, great grandfather invented the sport.
Peter's Great, Great Grandfather: (in flashback) So we're all clear on the rules, then? No Jews, and no Blacks.

Stewie's opening dream sequence is a take off on the long running PBS Children's show “Mister Roger's Neighborhood” (1968-2001)
| The intro to “The Jetsons” (1962-1963)(1984-1985)(1987)(2002) is parodied showing the outcome of what happens after “George Jetson” gets trapped on the speeding conveyor belt.
The characters of “Elroy Jetson” and “Jane Jetson” appear.
| Brian is seen reading “Into Thin Air” written by Jon Krakauer.
It details the author's May 10, 1996 ascent of Mount Everest, which turned catastrophic when eight climbers were killed and several others were stranded by a 'rogue storm'
| Peter: “Isn't he a little young for that? You know what happened to the Lindbergh baby”
Charles Lindbergh's baby boy, Charles Lindbergh Jr., was kidnapped and killed in 1932.
Amelia Earhart went missing in 1937 during her attempt to circumnavigate the globe. She was declared dead 2 years later.
| Lois: “This might be a nice way for you and Stewie to bond”
Peter: “Bond? James Bond”
Peter's statement is an obvious reference to the “James Bond” movie franchise.
“Bond, James Bond” is how the master spy always introduces himself.
| Chris and Brian watch Bob Barker & “The Price is Right” (1972-Present)
| Book Store Employee: “Everybody Poops is still the standard of course”
“Everybody Poops” was first published in 1977.
| Peter: “Hey Brian where do you think you are, Payless?”

| Brian: “I had this dream last night. Did you ever see Logan's Run?”
Reference to the 1976 movie “Logan's Run” starring Michael York, w/ Brian playing York's part.
| Brian: “What about him? He's gotta be in his 50's”
In Brian's “Logan's Run” inspired dream, he directs the guards to “Snoopy”, Charlie Brown's canine companion.
Brian's line of “He's gotta be in his 50s” is almost true, the year this episode aired (2000), Snoopy celebrated his 50th birthday that October
| Peter: “Lots of crazy people have go on to lead normal successful lives”
A real photo of Dan Rather is shown as the punch line to this joke.
Rather was the anchor of the “CBS Evening News” from 1981 to 2005.
| Brian: “Oh my god! Are you Stephen King?”
Allusion to a real life event where in 1999, famous horror writer Stephen King was hit by a car near his home and suffered multiple injuries. King was hospitalized with a broken leg, broken hip, broken ribs and a collapsed lung.
Brian however hit Dean Koontz, another successful horror writer but perhaps not as famous as King.
| Peter: “Oh Catwoman”
Lois: “Peter, no Catwoman today, I'm tired”
“Catwoman” is one of nemeses of the DC character “Batman”
