History Recap / FamilyGuyS9E4HalloweenOnSpoonerStreet

* BrandX: Brian reading off the candy names in the credits is this to avoid legal troubles, with a bit of LeaningOnTheFourthWall to call bullshit on it.

* DisproportionateRetribution: Lois getting back Stewie's candy from Justin, the boy who stole it, immediately takes a turn for the dark as after she gets the candy back, she demands the mother give Justin's candy and then $40. When the mother replies she doesn't have $40, Lois says she'll be back for $80 and [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking takes the welcome mat]]. ''[[EvenEvilHasStandards Stewie himself]]'' quickly goes from thrilled to scared. But then, it might be less revenge and more a lesson for their family- '''''[[MamaBear don't fuck with her kids.]]'''''

--> '''Meg:''' WE'RE ''DISGUSTING!'' WE'RE A DISGRASE TO OUR FAMILY!

* TruthInTelevision: Ever asked where Chris got his Optimus costume from when his mom had one all prepped up? Autistic people can be surprisingly creative when they've got a goal in mind, and it's perfectly possible that someone like Chris (who is heavily implied to be on the autism spectrum) had created that costume that night with every intention of using it as a full-body disguise - complete with the voice-changing helmet.

* ArtisticLicense–Military: Not that you expect Family Guy of all things to be accurate, but the 'Japanese Zero' is either a bizarrely rendered [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nakajima_B5N Nakajima B5N]], or a one-of-a-kind modification of an [[https://www.warbirdphotographs.com/NavyBWZeros/A6M2-K-11.jpg A6M2-K Trainer]] that comes with three seats, rather than two, which is unlikely.

* ArsonMurderAndJaywalking: "We're being attack, Brian!" "By zombies, vampires, and Mexican princesses!"

!!"Halloween on Spooner Street" contains examples of ([[YMMV/FamilyGuyS9E4HalloweenOnSpoonerStreet YMMV goes here]]):

* CallBack: [[Recap/FamilyGuyS4E13JungleLove A Griffin family member once again uses a taxi for an OverlyLongGag]]. Here, it’s Peter getting a mosquito that has an unidentified disease that Quagmire catches, due to him being immune to every disease known to man.

* HypocriticalHumor: Lois is outraged that Chris is in blackface for Halloween, yet orders him to wear an Indian headdress (that she made herself) instead.

** The DVD version has an extra part after Meg leaves in her slutty cat costume where Lois complains that girls' Halloween costumes nowadays are just a [[SexyWhateverOutfit slutty version]] of a normal costume, such as a nurse, a pirate, and a [[CrossesTheLineTwice cancer survivor]], followed by a cutaway of a girl dressed like that and bursting into a party, yelling, "Who wants to check my boobs for lumps, bitches?!"

--> '''Connie:''' Oh... My... God...

--> ''(They start screaming)''
--> '''Meg:''' OH MY GOD WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?!

--> '''Meg:''' FROM YOUR SISTER?!

--> '''Chris:''' SOME BITCH WHO CARES!

* EvenEvilHasStandards: Connie D'Amico, probably one of the worst characters in this series, is genuinely horrified when she discovers Chris and Meg have been making out in the closet indicating one line Connie would never cross would be tricking Meg into doing such a thing[[note]]though the pre-cancellation episode "And the Weiner Is..." had Connie trick Meg into kissing a pig while playing "Seven Minutes in Heaven". So, Connie is against incest, but doesn't mind bestiality[[/note]]
