* SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome: The chicken fight parody (with Homer in place of the Giant Chicken) in the third act of the episode, and is also arguably the most violent and ridiculous of all the ''Family Guy'' chicken fights to date. Just an example: The radioactive empowered Peter and Homer's first clash generated a giant donut-shaped fiery wave across Springfield.

** Crossing over with NightmareFuel, the brief shot of several innocent people whose clothes get burned off, leaving them naked in public as a result of the nuclear fallout caused by Peter and Homer during their fight could be this to people who are sensitive about nudity.

* OlderThanTheyThink : This isn't the first time The Simpsons and Family Guy have had a crossover. MAD magazine did it in its number 458; where Marge and Lois exchanged families, and in the end decided to escape together as a couple after seeing the life that each one led.

* SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments: The entirety of the Lisa and Meg subplot, as Lisa is determined to find something that Meg is actually good at to boost her self-esteem. It really feels like [[AuthorsSavingThrow the writers trying to make up for making Meg]] the ButtMonkey. Especially since it ends with Lisa swallowing her pride after discovering that Meg is a better saxophone player and giving her the saxophone as a reminder. ([[YankTheDogsChain Peter ends up throwing it in the trash]], but it's still a nice gesture. And they ended the episode with a hug, so it's okay)

Just one.


* CriticalDissonance: The crossover received mixed reviews from critics due to the rape jokes, the car wash sequence, and the fight scenes, but fans of both shows weren't bothered by them, and thus gave it a positive response, to the point where it holds a rating of 8.5/10 on Website/IMDb.

* JustHereForGodzilla:
** Many people have only shown an interest in this episode just to see the Griffins ''finally'' interact with the Simpson family.
** Also, a lot of people only watch this episode just to see the infamous fight between Peter and Homer at the end of the episode.

* SignatureScene: The fight between Peter and Homer at the end of the third act became the most discussed element of the episode shortly after it aired, due to its overly long length and being far too violent by ''Simpsons'' standards. The fact it takes place across [[ContinuityPorn multiple famous locations on Springfield]] and features a cameo from fan-favourite characters like [[FountainOfMemes Ralph Wiggum]], [[HalloweenEpisode Kang and Kodos]], and [[WesternAnimation/AmericanDad Roger Smith]] also greatly contributed to its notoriety.

* SignatureScene: The entire "Ernie the giant chicken"-style fight scene between Homer and Peter in the third act.
* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodCharacter: Many fans of both shows were disappointed about how Marge, Lois, Brian, and Chris hardly do anything or interact with each other. All they do is take part in a few quick gags with no lampshading of similarities/differences between these characters.
** Stewie and Maggie also never interact despite both being anything but normal babies.
* TheWoobie: Meg, especially after she finds out she's good at virtually nothing.

* TheWoobie: Meg, especially after she finds out Meg's arc revolves around her thinking she's good at virtually nothing.nothing. When she finally finds out her talent as a saxophone player, she is insulted by a jealous Lisa. Then, when the two girls make up and Lisa gifts her sax to Meg, Peter throws it away because he thinks there is no room for the instrument in his car.

The first example contradicts itself; the second one has no hindsight.


* HarsherInHindsight:
** Creator/HarryShearer refusing to take part in the episode out of protest became this after he officially quit the show. Considerably less so now that he's back.
** Stewie one-upping Bart's prank call by calling Moe and telling him his sister is being raped has an uncomfortable bit of RealitySubtext, in that [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8H-cB-l3O-4 this is more or less how the infamous "Quagmire rapes Marge" gag was conceived]]: it was Seth [=MacFarlane=]'s "little shot back" at ''The Simpsons'' for... [[DisproportionateRetribution accusing them of plagiarism]].

* AlternateCharacterInterpretation: Was Peter throwing away the saxophone Meg received from Lisa his usual uncaring attitude, or was it because he did not want anything originally coming from The Simpsons after Duff's lawsuit cost him his job? Or did he realize that the saxophone made Meg happy, and he wanted to [[JerkWithAHeartOfJerk crush her spirits?]]

** The CutawayGag with Peter getting [[Franchise/SpiderMan J. Jonah Jameson]] a picture of Spider-Man and the fight scene where Homer and Peter are given nuclear powers and with green skin and muscular bods really foreshadows the [[Creator/{{Disney}} The Walt Disney Company]] acquiring these two shows through its purchase of 21st Century Fox three years later.
