* ParentalFavoritism: Chris was conceived because of a broken condom, which resulted in a lawsuit that paid for the Griffin's house. Because of this, Lois refers to Chris as her favorite mistake, which he lords over Meg.

to:

* OwMyBodyPart: While in transit inside Peter's body, Stewie needs to buy some time before Peter and Lois get it on, leading him to fire at Peter's duodenum (the entry point between the stomach and the small intestine). This immediately prompts Peter to claim [[LudicrousPrecision with remarkable specificity]] "Oh jeez, my duodenum's acting up!" before bolting to the bathroom.

* ArtisticLicenseBiology: SpermAsPeople aside, the most Stewie would accomplish by destroying the sperm cells directly is to delay the fertilization process for a while until his troops recover to acceptable numbers. If he really wanted to do damage to the Griffin's fertility, he would have to find a way to stop the sperm production process itself, [[TakeAThirdOption or enter Lois' body and destroy her egg cells since those cannot be regenerated unlike sperm]].

* InstantSedation: Played comically straight when Stewie commandeers a robotic Peter lookalike to stop him from having sex with Lois. To get Peter out of the way, Stewie lures him out of the bedroom with beer before shoving a chloroform-soaked cloth in his face. It takes all of ''one second'' for Peter to be out like a light.

* IdiotBall: Stewie could have gotten away with framing Lois for getting lipstick all over his favorite shirt if he just left the bathroom, but he just had to stay for a while and admire himself in the mirror with the lipstick still on him, which caused Lois and Brian to stumble on the scene and prevent his FrameUp from happening.
