!!Tropes:
* OverlyLongGag: Quagmire at one point bounces a tennis ball he is about to serve countless times.
* ShoutOut: Joe likes ''Series/GilmoreGirls''
** Quagmire's previously mentioned OverlyLongGag involving his tennis ball bouncing and the audience applauding for Freddie Mercury is rythymatically done in the style of the opening music of the song 'We Will Rock You'.
** Peter's sport's story is a rip-off of ''Film/{{Rocky}}''.
* TakeThat: The show once again craps all over [[WesternAnimation/TheClevelandShow Cleveland's spinoff.]]
* UnreliableNattator: While it's safe to say that all of the sports stories were made up, Peter gets a special mention by mentioning that he died even though he' telling the story, alive and well.
