!Examples:!Examples:
* AmateurFilmMakingPlot: Peter Griffin develops a cartoon to pitch to FOX, "Handi-Quacks." Naturally, the finished product [[StylisticSuck looks very much like something Peter would make]].
* ArtShift: Peter's "Handi-Quacks" cartoon pilot is rendered in the style of a child's crayon drawings with even more LimitedAnimation than usual.
* CastAsAMask: While Creator/FredSavage provides his own voice [[InkSuitActor when appearing as himself]], his Creator/MichaelMoore voice was provided by regular series voice actor Mike Henry. Regardless, it's still not the real Michael Moore's voice.
* ExpositoryThemeTune: Peter Griffin comes up with such a theme song for "Handi-Quacks," [[StylisticSuck written and produced rather poorly, of course]].
* FullBodyDisguise: Fred Savage surprisingly shows an excellent skill at this, coming up with various aliases such as Creator/RushLimbaugh, Michael Moore and various other actors to satisfy his need to continue acting after ''Series/TheWonderYears'' ended.
* LazyArtist / LimitedAnimation: Peter's "Handi-Quacks" cartoon is produced this way, naturally.
* MistakenForGay: Lois is ordered to spy on Michael Moore, who's rumored to be gay and appears to be in a relationship with Rush Limbaugh. It eventually turns out both guys are just characters Fred Savage invented and dressed up as to continue his love of acting.
* ParodyAssistance: When we hear Fred Savage's inner thoughts ala ''The Wonder Years'', Creator/DanielStern even provides the inner monologue voice, as he did in the actual show.
* StylisticSuck: Peter's "Handi-Quacks" cartoon, hands down.
