* On ''FamilyGuy'', when Stewie grows a strong fondness for Flappy Jack's pancakes in the episode "Love Thy Trophy", he at one point insists that the pancakes are better than sex, insinuating a growing addiction to the pancakes that ends with him going through withdrawal by the end of the episode in a send-up of a scene from ''{{Trainspotting}}''. A later episode showed Stewie didn't know what sex is.
