History Recap / FamilyGuyS13E10QuagmiresMom

* AntiHumor: The {{punchline}} to the OverlyLongGag with Peter waiting to sing the opening lyrics of [[Music/TheWho "Baba O'Riley"]]. What savvy viewers may expect is for either the karaoke machine to malfunction or for the CutawayGag to end right before Peter is about sing. Instead, it allows him to sing the very first verse before answering the question that Lois asked right before the song began.

What savvy viewers may expect is for either the karaoke machine to malfunction or for the CutawayGag to end right before Peter is about sing. Instead, it allows him to sing the very first verse before injecting a NonSequitur.

* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: For once, Quagmire's sex crimes actually have consequences instead of just being a cheap laugh. Even though the underage girl he slept with lied about her age, he still technically committed statutory rape, he goes to court for it, and is sentenced to jail time. Subverted at the end when the sentence is annulled because of a literal DeusSexMachina.

* HeelFaithTurn: Quagmire's promiscuous mother, Crystal, claims to be a born again Christian. Quagmire doesn't buy it for a minute, accusing her of using the religion to absolve herself of her past misgivings. It is only when Crystal admits her mistakes as a mother and shows sincere remorse that he starts to come around.

** After sleeping together and then learning from Kira that she takes the school bus to school thus revealing she's a minor, Quagmire calls out his date for lying about her age to get into bed with him. Kira just scuffs and points out that Quagmire lied too by claiming he loved her (just to get her into bed). Stumped by this, Quagmire just says to her "Well you got me there".

* CowardiceCallout: Brian tells Quagmire that [[FreudianExcuseIsNoExcuse his horrible childhood thanks to his mother is no excuse for his serial sex crimes as an adult]], commenting that it "seems kind of cowardly to blame someone else for [his] problems".

* JerkassHasAPoint: Quagmire may have been pulling NeverMyFault but his mother was a sexual deviant who was neglectful to him growing up.

* HypocriteHasAPoint: Brian is nonchalant to both the above nods (as he points out, he's not the one going to jail over it). And given how often Quagmire pontificated over Brian for his own pretentious attitude and lacking the ability to accept his faults like he does, Brian's still right to think Quagmire's completely myopic in this regard.

* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: As pointed out in DisproportionateRetribution, for once Quagmire's sex crimes actually have consequences instead of just being a cheap laugh.

* YouSoundFamiliar: Creator/AllisonJanney (voice of the titular mother) previously appeared as a magazine editor in the Season 8 episode "[[Recap/FamilyGuyS8E11DialMegForMurder Dial Meg For Murder]]".

** When Joe testifies during Quagmire's court case, Joe describes a makeshift sex toy in which a man urinates in a bag and freezes the bag. On the TV version, Joe's line after that is "...and then the woman, um, pretends it's a man." On the DVD version, Joe's line after describing how the bag is filled with urine and frozen is, "...and then [he] uses it to make love to the woman."

* RealityEnsues: As pointed out in DisproportionateRetribution, for once Quagmire's sex crimes actually have consequences instead of just being a cheap laugh.

* RunningGag: Quagmire loses [[Recap/FamilyGuyS7E12Episode420 yet]] [[Recap/FamilyGuyS11E21RoadToVegas another]] cat due to a neighbor (this time Joe).
