** Even Chris as Jame Gumb AKA "Buffalo Bill" is this - Buffalo Bill was an extremely disturbed serial killer, but Chris as Bill repeatedly makes fun of his victim (Meg) for being fat, even though the Bill from the movie only targeted overweight women so their skin would fit him after he killed and skinned them as part of his psychosis trying to make a female identity for himself.

Deleted without reason.

Added DiffLines:

* AdaptationalJerkass: A number actually, since while the ''Family Guy'' characters are playing the roles, they are still their base characters.
** While Forrest Gump was a genuinely good hearted, if naive man, Peter as Forrest is no less uncaring as Peter is in the main show, readily leaving behind Lt. Dan (played by Joe) without hesitation.
** While still a villain, Hannibal Lector was cold, generally polite, mostly treating Clarice with dignity. By contrast, Stewie as Lector is petty, throwing a tantrum when "Clarice" fails to follow detail to his quid-pro-quo he didn't even share.

* FauxSymbolism: In-universe. Peter complains about the roses in ''American Beauty'' and how they're supposed to be symbolic of something.



* TakeThat: Peter spins the wheel at the beginning of the episode to decide which Oscar-winning film to retell. It lands on ''Film/TheGreatZiegfeld'', so he quickly moves the needle to the [[Film/TheSilenceOfTheLambs next one]].

* CastingGag: Chris portraying Buffalo Bill in the ''Silence of the Lambs'' parody is a reference to how Creator/SethGreen modeled Chris's voice after Buffalo Bill.



* RunningGag: "Two Princes" playing to demonstrate it's TheNineties.

to:

* IncestuousCasting: In-universe example. Meg and Chris portray Jane and Ricky in the ''American Beauty'' parody who become a couple in the movie. However, the parody [[AdaptedOut doesn't actually portray that]], likely for this very reason.
