History Recap / FamilyGuy8E7JeromeIsTheNewBlack

* AtLeastIAdmitIt and EveryoneHasStandards: Quagmire calls Brian out on only dating bimbos, then states that he does the same thing, but he at least doesn't pretend to be an intellectual to get in girl's pants (with Quagmire, it's either pick-up lines or drugging their drinks).

!!"Jerome Is The New Black" contains examples of ([[YMMV/FamilyGuy8E7JeromeIsTheNewBlack Ymmv goes here]]) :

** Quagmire mentions in his speech some events from past episodes including "The Former Life of Brian" (the son that Brian doesn't care for or see, though Brian saw his son again on "Brian's a Bad Father"), "Play It Again Brian" (Brian betraying Peter by hitting on Lois), Brian being a bad writer ("Movin' Out [Brian's Song]," "Episode 420," and the next episode "Dog Gone")[[note]]even though Brian has written a dramatic TV show pilot that was actually good, despite being ruined by ExecutiveMeddling, and proved to be a great porno director who can actually give X-rated movies subtext and character motivation[[/note]], "Not All Dogs Go to Heaven" (pushing his [[HollywoodAtheist Hollywood atheism]] on others, which is how most fans and the episode writers felt about the episode), and "Episode 420" (his failed campaign to legalize marijuana).

* [[Gasshole]]: Brian, after he gets in bed with Stewie

* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: Quagmire's famous tirade on why Brian is a bad person/ See [=Wham Speech=] below.
* SelfDeprecation and MindScrew: SethMacFarlane essentially tells one of his [[AuthorAvatar author avatars]] (Brian, who is Seth's author avatar in terms of his stance on religion, marijuana, alcohol, and liberal politics. Peter is also [=MacFarlane=]'s AuthorAvatar, but only when it comes to 1970s and 1980s pop culture) off for a minute and a half.

* AtLeastIAdmitIt: Quagmire.

** Quagmire mentions in his speech some events from past episodes including "The Former Life of Brian" (the son that Brian doesn't care for or see), "Play It Again Brian" (Brian betraying Peter by hitting on Lois), Brian being a bad writer ("Movin' Out [Brian's Song]" and "Episode 420"), "Not All Dogs Go to Heaven" (pushing his [[HollywoodAtheist Hollywood atheism]] on others), and "Episode 420" (his failed campaign to legalize marijuana).

* [[Gasshole]]: Brian.

-->'''Quagmire:''' Well, see you around, Brian. Thanks for the fucking steak.

* SomebodyDoesntLoveRaymond: Brian tries to be friends with Quagmire and fails.

* Hypocrite: How many ways is Quagmire's TheReasonYouSuckSpeech hypocritical? Let's count the ways:
** First, he accuses Brian of always trying to hit on Lois when he's hit on her a million times more than Brian has.
** Second, he accuses Brian of always dating bimbos, when he does the same.
** Third, he accuses Brian of being a sponge and never working, when he's rarely ever seen doing to pilot job.
** Fourth, He accuses Brian of being a bad father and abandoning his own son, when he did the same thing to his own daughter Anna Lee.
* HypocriticalHumor: Quagmire calling out Brian for dating bimbos during his tirade, with Quagmire stating that he does the same thing, but (a) he's more honest with himself about it than Brian is, and (b) Quagmire doesn't put up a pseudo-intellectual front about it.

Quagmire then takes a minute and a half [[TheReasonYouSuckSpeech essentially stating that Brian is an egotistical, hypocritical, dishonest, preachy]] JerkAss who can't write, is a horrible father to the kid he only met once, freeloads off the people who care about him, pushes his liberal agenda on those who don't believe it, can't hold on to a girlfriend, only goes after bimbos[[note]]with Quagmire noting that he does the same thing, but he can be honest with himself about it[[/note]], and is a boring drunk. Brian is stunned by this revelation, and walks home depressed. At home, Stewie tells Brian that all he needs to do is love himself, and lets him sleep in his room.

Peter, Joe, and Quagmire are upset that [[TheClevelandShow Cleveland left for Virginia]], and decide to find a new friend. Brian tries to get into their group, but Quagmire refuses, stating that he does not like Brian.

The three wind up finding Jerome, another bar patron who is good at darts. Peter tries to introduce Jerome to Lois, yet realizes something about Jerome: he and Lois used to date. Peter is upset about this. Upset about this turn of events, Peter winds up throwing a bottle in his house, causing a fire. Lois asks an upset Jerome to live with her and Peter for a while.

* BizarroEpisode: This episode is far more serious than most.

-->'''Quagmire''': Alright. I'll tell you. You are the worst person I know. You constantly hit on your best friend's wife. The man pays for your food and rescued you from certain death, and ''this'' is how you repay him? And to add insult to injury, you defecate all over his yard. And you're ''such a sponge''. You pay for ''nothing''. You always say [mocks Brian] "Ooh, I'll get you later", but later never comes. And what really bothers me, is you pretend that you're this deep guy that loves women for their souls, when all you do is date bimbos. Yeah, I date women for their bodies, but at least I'm honest about it. I don't buy them a copy of Catcher in the Rye and then lecture them with some seventh grade interpretation about how Holden Caulfield was some profound intellectual. He wasn't! He was a spoiled brat! And that's why you like him so much. He's you! God, you're pretentious. And you delude yourself by thinking you're some great writer, even though you're terrible. You know, I should've known Cheryl Tiegs didn't write me that note. She would've known there's no "a" in the word "definite". And what I think I hate most about you is your textbook liberal agenda. How we should [mocks again] "legalize pot, man", how big business is crushing the underclass, how homelessness is the biggest tragedy in America. Well what have ''you'' done to help? I work down at the soup kitchen, Brian. Never seen ''you'' down there. You wanna help? '''Grab a ladle!''' And by the way, driving a Prius doesn't make you Jesus Christ. Oh, wait. You don't believe in Jesus Christ, or any religion for that matter because [mocks again] "religion is for idiots". Well, who the ''hell'' are you to talk down to anyone? You failed college twice, which isn't ''nearly'' as bad as your failure as a father. How's that son of yours you never see? But you know what? I could forgive all of that--all of it--if you ''weren't such a bore''. That's the worst of it, Brian. You're just a big, sad, alcoholic ''bore''! [sighs, puts his napkin on the table, and sets to leave] I'll see ya, Brian. Thanks for the fucking steak.
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: Despite being set up to take Cleveland's place, Jerome disappears after this episode.

* CowboyBebopAtHisComputer: Some cable guides have the plot down as Quagmire being antagonistic around Jerome, but really is antagonistic around Brian.

* [[WhamLine Wham Speech]]: These two simple lines that turn into an epic TakeThat against a character that went from sane to SoapboxSadie much to the irritation of fans.

Quagmire then takes a minute and a half [[TheReasonYouSuckSpeech essentially stating that Brian is an egotistical, hypocritical, dishonest, preachy]] JerkAss. Brian is stunned by this revelation, and walks home depressed. At home, Stewie tells Brian that all he needs to do is love himself, and lets him sleep in his room.

* ContinuityNod: Jerome calls Lois by the nickname "Loose Lois", which was previously mentioned in "Road to Europe".

* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: Unlike most of his other JerkAss antics, he genuinely feels bad about what he did to Jerome.

-->'''Quagmire:''' Well see you, Brian. Thanks for the fucking steak.
* PunctuatedForEmphasis: "You're just a big. Sad. Alcoholic. BORE."

Peter is also [=MacFarlane=]'s AuthorAvatar, but only when it comes to 1970s and 1980s pop culture) off. Oh, to see SethMacFarlane in the recording booth for that part...

Peter, Joe, and Quagmire are upset that [[TheClevelandShow Cleveland left for Virginia]], and decide to find a new friend. Brian tries to get into their group, but Quagmire refuses.

The three wind up finding Jerome, another bar patron. Peter tries to introduce Jerome to Lois, yet realizes something about Jerome: he and Lois used to date. Peter is upset about this. Upset about this turn of events, Peter winds up throwing a bottle in his house, causing a fire. Lois asks an upset Jerome to live with her and Peter for a while.

However, Peter winds up remaining jealous, and eventually can't contain his anger anymore. He winds up dressing like what he thinks is a ghost to scare Jerome out (although his choice of dress makes him look like a member of the KKK). Jerome winds up fleeing. Lois, upset at Peter, revealed that Jerome gave Peter a present. Peter goes over, and apologizes. The two make up (and Peter reacts with indifference when Jerome reveals that he slept with Meg).

Meanwhile, Brian tries to find out what makes Quagmire hate him. However, Brian mistakes Quagmire's sister (who is being abused by her boyfriend) for his date. Brian winds up tricking Quagmire into going out to dinner with him by addressing a letter as Quagmire's long lost love, Cheryl Tiegs. Brian tries to make small talk, yet eventually gets to the chase, asking Quagmire why he does not like him. How does Quagmire respond?
