History Recap / FamilyGuyS4E22SiblingRivalry

* TakeThat: To the comic strip ComicStrip/{{BC}}.

* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: Peter's desires to keep having fat sex with Lois turn out to be this. Her obesity ends up giving her a heart attack and she has to undergo emergency liposuction treatment.

* HypocriticalHumor: When Peter is apprehensive about getting a vasectomy, Joe tells him that a bunch of guys on the force got vasectomies and their lives haven't changed at all. However, he immediately shoots them down when asked if he would get one.

'''Brian''': That's Street Fighter.\\

* ShoutOut: Stewie asks a kid on the playground, "You! [[Film/TheBluesBrothers You got my cheese whiz, boy?"]]

* VictoryIsBoring: In this episode, Stewie finally gets to live out one of his dreams to rule over a piece of territory, in this case, a playground. However, after having his rule be uncontested for a while, Stewie began to get bored of ruling with no one to usurp him, but his attitude quickly changes when he realizes he'll have to defend his reign and territory when Bertram shows up.

After a pregnancy scare, Lois urges Peter to get a vasectomy, which kills his sex drive and drives Lois to stuff herself with food. Meanwhile, Bertram (the sperm cell who fought with Stewie in "Emission Impossible") is born (from a lesbian couple who bought Peter's sperm at the sperm bank) and wages war with Stewie.

'''Peter''': Blanka, Zangief, Chun-Li, Guile, E. Honda.\\
'''Brian''': That's [[VideoGame/StreetFighterII Street Fighter]].\\

'''Waiter''': Nothing.

* RealityEnsues: Peter's desires to keep having fat sex with Lois turn out to be this. Her obesity ends up giving her a heart attack and she has to undergo emergency liposuction treatment.

* ArtisticLicenceBiology: Bertram is born looking exactly the way he did in "Emission Impossible", even though the father's sperm only contributes half of a child's genes (though this may be justified as "They had to make Bertram look the same way he did from 'Emission Impossible' out of fear that audiences would nitpick it.")

* ParentalNeglect: Lois doesn't tell her overweight son Chris the dangers of overeating. Instead she tells the normal weight Meg to the dangers of overeating. Meg fire back that she doesn't eat to solve her problems, she cuts herself instead. Unlike most concerned parents, Lois ignores Meg's self-harm boast and compliments Chris' new hat instead.

* TookALevelInJerkass: Bertram. After his and Stewie's parting on good terms in his previous appearance, you really have to wonder why they're fighting again. Though, to be fair, they do still share some laughs and friendly conversations. In "The Big Bang Theory"? [[UpToEleven Not so much]].

* ArtisticLicenceHistory and BlackComedy: On the JFK assassination.

'''Lois''': (starts immediately overindulging in bread at the table) He wants "fat"? I'll give him fat"! The only reason I'm eating is because of ''him''! He won't touch me!

'''Brian''': Those are colors.

--> '''Peter''': (to nurse) And, uh, just so you know, everything in there is exactly the way it was when I went in. There is absolutely zero chance that I spilled all the jars and had to refill them with my own sperm. ''Zero'' chance.

* TruthInTelevision: A vasectomy is actually much safer and quicker than a tubal ligation (the female equivalent)--a vasectomy is also generally a lot cheaper.
