-->'''Lois''': Stop it! Stop clapping right now! What's wrong with you?! These people shouldn't be encouraged! They should be punished! That man has committed murder here this evening, and the victim's name is "theater". This is the kind of mind-numbing schlock that's turning our society into a cultural wasteland! This isn't art! This isn't even entertainment! This... this.. BLOWS!

* MonkeysOnATypewriter: Peter uses a monkeys-on-typewriters reference to belittle the importance of art. This is followed by a cutaway gag in which several monkeys argue over which flower would best fit in the "rose by any other name" line from.

* RuleOfFunny: The only reason Peter's version of ''The King and I'' is even successful in the first place. If anyone were to make an InNameOnly adaptation like this in real life, [[TheyChangedItNowItSucks it would be met with intense hatred and contempt due to all the changes made]] and the play would be declared DarthWiki/RuinedForever, which is exactly the reaction Lois expected from the audience.
