* {{Hypocrite}}: Brian initially tries to shift the blame of where Stewie contracted herpes before Stewie exposes sores under his fur, and ultimately admits that he was too embarrassed about having herpes to admit to passing it on to Stewie and Chris, yet much of the episode in between is him callously trying to downplay their contraction of the disease as no big deal.



* MoralMyopia: Brian ultimately admits that he was too embarrassed about having herpes to admit to passing it on to Stewie and Chris, yet insists that they're making too big a deal out of it.

* {{Bowdlerization}}: The following scenes were altered when shown on TV, but are shown uncut on Netflix and the DVD set:
**The cutaway of the coked-up giraffe working as a waiter at Studio 54: Robert Mapplethorpe's line to the giraffe on TV was "Can I take this fire extinguisher someplace interesting and take a picture?" On DVD and Netflix, it was changed to "Mind if I stick this fire extinguisher in you and take your picture?" (the latter line is more upfront about the AssShove than the former line).
**The ''Wizard of Oz'' cutaway: The TV version bleeps out The Cowardly Lion saying "Fuck you" to Dorothy, The Scarecrow, and The Tin Man and blurs out his flipping them the bird. The DVD and Netflix version, obviously, does not.
**Lois' line to Peter, "Please tell me this isn't still about how you punked out in front of those guys at The Clam" had "punked out" changed to "pussed out" on Netflix and DVD.

After watching a scene in a Western in which a cowboy becomes blood brothers with an Indian, Stewie convinces Brian do the same to him -- and Stewie ends up with herpes. Meanwhile, Peter, Quagmire, and Joe fight back against a crew of tough guys who have taken their favorite booth.

!!Examples:
* AbusiveParents: Peter whips Meg and Stewie (literally, as in "using a whip he got in the mail" not figuratively, as in "he beats them").
* ButtMonkey[=/=]NoSympathy: Peter and friends cowering away from the guys who bullied them out of their booth earns them the scorn of the town and their families. Their attempt to take it back fails with them getting beat up. Even when they get the booth back, it's only because the guys who bullied them reveal themselves to be soldiers who are shipping back to duty the next day. Said guys are hailed as heroes, while Peter and the gang still get no respect.
* BloodBrothers: Stewie and Brian become blood brothers, which gives Stewie herpes as a result. As it turns out, Brian did the same thing with Chris.
* ChekovsGun: Averted. You'd think the whip would be this, but it's casually smacked out of Peter's hand and never brought up again.
* CurbStompBattle: The guys' battle for getting their booth back fails in spectacular fashion.
* {{Jerkass}} Brian for keeping his herpes a secret from both Chris and Stewie.
* KarmaHoudini: The soldiers get away with bullying, making a laughingstock out of the guys, and even get away with beating them up after they impress the rest of the town by mentioning they were soldiers on leave who were due to report back for duty the next day, leaving Peter and the gang [[DudeWheresMyRespect with still no respect]] even after they were just beaten up. It goes hand in hand with the next trope.
