* RecycledPremise: This episode's main plot is essentially a rehash of "The D In Apartment 23" with Stewie in place of Brian. There are quite a lot of recycled plot points (the only major difference is that the rest of the Griffins deal with Peter's fat reduction surgery instead of Brian's, or in this case Stewie's, fallout):

* RecycledPremise: This episode's main plot is essentially a rehash of "The D In Apartment 23" with Stewie in place of Brian. There are quite a lot of recycled plot points:
** The episode's main character becomes obsessed with something or someone (Brian becomes obsessed with Twitter, Stewie becomes obsessed with a popstar).
** They sent a tweet that wasn't meant in any negative way (Brian's tweet was a genuine, if misguided, joke, while Stewie's tweet was intended to show support for his favorite popstar) that greatly angers the public.
** They become a pariah, being harassed (both online and in public) and banned from their favorite public places.
** They attempt to get back into the public's good graces, but it only makes things worse.
** People begin targeting their loved ones (Stewie's teddy bear Rupert and Brian's entire family).
** Finally, they give a ShamingTheMob speech about how their lives were unfairly ruined over a genuine misunderstanding (with the speech falling on deaf ears).
* WeightLossHorror: When Peter gets lap band surgery, he has so much excess skin that it almost pools around him. Chris later uses Peter as a human kite after Chris' original kite broke.
