Never My Fault is the trope for this example, not Misplaced Retribution.


* MisplacedRetribution: When Peter loses the game show due to his own stupidity, he starts throttling the host for costing him the money he was going to use to buy the cave in the yard, even though it was his own fault (especially since the only answer he could come up with was "chair", and he didn't pass even after being told to).



-->'''Peter:''' You son of a bitch. What about my cave in the yard? ''[[SuddenlyShouting What about my cave in the yard?]]''

* {{Hypocrite}}: Quagmire, oh so much.
** A few episodes ago, he calls out Brian for hitting on Lois, yet here he takes an opportunity to take Lois from Peter when he has amnesia and takes a break from his marriage.
** He also calls Brian out for being pretentious just so he can date women and alter sleep with them, yet here he pretends to be supportive of Lois since her split from Peter when all he really wants is to take her from him. The biggest irony of all is that Brian is the one who foils his plans by informing Peter of Quagmire's intentions.
