* FunnyAneurysmMoment[=/=]HarsherInHindsight: At one point during the episode, Peter says that Lois has no right to nag him, as he now has a children's show, and declares that he can have "any 3-year-old girl [he] want[s]". If you're a British viewer, that joke gets worse when, in October of that same year, Creator/JimmySavile, a once-beloved British DJ, TV host (of ''Series/TopOfThePops'' and the kids' show ''Jim'll Fix It'') and philanthropist, was posthumously exposed as one of the most prolific sex offenders in modern British history (with underage girls as his primary victims) while the BBC and the NHS just sat by and did nothing. What's worse is that Savile all but admitted to doing ''Jim'll Fix It'' so he can, in the paraphrased words of Peter Griffin, "...have any girl he wants". To really add insult to injury, this episode premiered in the UK at the start of September 2012, a few weeks before the abuse allegations went public, and, as a final nail in the coffin, the episode aired on Creator/{{BBC}} Three (as mentioned before, the BBC didn't notice or care that Savile was molesting kids until it was too late).

** FunnyAneurysmMoment[=/=]HarsherInHindsight: The joke was already pretty dark when it aired in April 2012, yet it could've been passed off as a particularly dark example of Peter being a Jerkass (as well as Macfarlane's dark sense of humour). Then, in October of that same year, Jimmy Savile, a once-beloved British DJ, TV host (''TopOfThePops'' and ''Jim'll Fix It'') and charity fundraiser, was posthumously exposed as one the most prolific sexual offenders in Britain, who molested children hundreds of people (predominantly teenage girls) as the BBC (and the NHS, amongst others) more-or-less turned a blind eye to the abuse. Suddenly, whatever humour could have been mined out of Peter's comment evaporated, and now Peter comes off as totally depraved.


Added DiffLines:

*** And to drive the final nail in the humour coffin, two years later, "Brian's a Bad Father" had a scene where Peter blew a raspberry to Suzie in a ''very'' inappropriate place. Even though Peter said in that episode that he closed his eyes too early, the knowledge of Peter's quote above now makes both scenes ''even more'' cringeworthy.

* DudeNotFunny: Peter's very dark comment about having "any 3-year-old girl [he] wants," during his argument with Lois. This should immediately have prompted Lois to call the authorities.
* FunnyAneurysmMoment[=/=]HarsherInHindsight: At one point during the episode, Peter says that Lois has no right to nag him, as he now has a children's show, and declares that he can have "any 3-year-old girl [he] wants". The joke was already pretty dark when it aired in April 2012. Then, in October of that same year, Jimmy Savile, a once-beloved British TV host (''TopOfThePops'' and ''Jim'll Fix It'') and charity fundraiser, was posthumously exposed as a pedophile and quite possibly the most prolific sexual offender in Britain, who molested children as the BBC more-or-less turned a blind eye to the abuse. Suddenly, Peter's comment became a LOT less funny.

*** To add salt in the wound, we have to mention the episode's UK airdate. It aired in the UK in September 2012... mere weeks before the abuse allegations went public. The channel was BBC Three. (The BBC, as mention above, is accused of ignoring abuse claims).

** MisaimedFandom: This episode at the very least portrays Lois as a rather sympathetic OnlySaneMan to Peter's childishness and when it's time to hand the Aesop, Peter learns to be more appreciative of her.
