* SelfDeprecation: The "Halfway Down the Stairs" scene is this toward the show's usage of [[OverlyLongGag overly long gags]], which many have accused of existing simply to serve as [[{{Padding}} filler]], as well as their attempts at parodying pop culture but not doing anything beyond simply making references.

Incredibly Lame Pun needs a cleanup to avoid misuse. Regular examples should just be called Pun. In Universe examples should be listed as Lame Pun Reaction.


* IncrediblyLamePun:

--->'''Stewie:''' I'm sorry, that's not funny.
** And another one, when Brian made a crack about Philip Seymour Hoffman's death, by calling him "Philip See-Less Hoffman". He also is ashamed of the joke and asks for it to be edited out.
