* "[[Recap/FamilyGuyS10E16KillerQueen Killer Queen]]" has a RunningGag where Brian comes up with many creative ways to get Stewie to see the giant robot on the cover of Music/{{Queen}}'s ''Music/{{News of the World|Queen}}'' album, which scares him to death. At one point, Stewie walks into his room and sees an unopened Jack-in-the-box. At this point, Stewie thinks he's onto Brian thinking the robot will pop out. He turns the crank anyway, and it turns out to be just a normal clown. Stewie sighs of relief, but turns around only to see that Brian painted the robot on his wall.

* There's another episode where Adam West is looking for a sign to warn people about his ferocious dog. You would think he's looking at the "Beware of Dog" sign, but he's actually looking at the "One Way" sign, so that people will know that there's only one way they can go to get away from his dog. [[CloudCuckoolander Classic Adam West]]!

** One scene cuts to Peter in the principal's office of Meg's school and saying immediately "And that's my plan!", which causes him to say that he was confused as he just came into his office, sat down and said "And that's my plan!" to him. Peter then apologizes which leads to a GilliganCut later where he ''did'' express his plan, to which the principal says that he didn't like it and pushes him out the door. Then a short time later at home, Peter is bummed out only for the principal to call him up and say that he now, out of the blue, loves his plan and will go through it.[[note]]The plan being that he would pretend to be a hip new student to try and scare the kids away from licking toads to get high[[/note]]
