* BrokenBase: You're either on Brian's side and you're glad he tricked Quagmire into buying that crappy condo with his bonus, as payback for the latter's hypocritical hatred of him. Or you're on Quagmire's side and you're glad he beat up Brian after he lied to Quagmire about a condo and later successfully stalled Quagmire, making him unable to get his money back, despite Quagmire being the one who gave Brian the money to repair his teeth.

Either way you look at it, they're both unreasonable bastards who don't see eye to eye.

* JerksAreWorseThanVillains: The Griffins family, especially Peter and Lois, border this during the beginning of the episode. Despite not being involved in Brian's real estate scam, the two act extremely insensitive to Brian's predicament. Peter's shenanigans fighting over Brian's toy rope is what caused his injury in the first place, and yet he receives no comeuppance for his actions and is never called out for them. And Lois mocks Brian by refusing to take him to the hospital and calls him a "deformed animal".

** The injury leading to Brian's dental surgery. He loses his teeth, and his nose droops crookedly over his mouth. As Quagmire puts it, his face looks like a used condom.

Misuse. This example is not a wasted plot, it's just "This should have happened instead of that".

If the main What An Idiot entry was removed, then this pothole probably should as well.

* UnintentionallyUnsympathetic: While Quagmire helping Brian get his teeth fixed was a kind act and Brian [[UngratefulBastard thanklessly swindling Quagmire out of his huge bonus in order to sell him a run-down condo]] as well as distract him from the 72-hour return policy with a fake MyGodWhatHaveIDone speech was a huge dick move, there's the fact that Quagmire's hatred toward Brian is utterly hypocritical and has proven to be no better than Brian (if perhaps even worse) on what he calls Brian out on, so one can actually see Quagmire getting scammed as an act of karma.
* WhatAnIdiot: Several moments:
** Peter – hoping to get a rope, which Brian had been using as a chew toy, away from the dog – ties one end to the back of his car while Brian is still chewing it, and then starts to drive away.
*** '''You'd think''': That Brian would immediately see the rope tied to the car and, once Peter is putting the car in gear, would let go of the rope.
*** '''Instead''': He keeps chewing on the rope, even as Peter begins driving the car faster.
*** '''Extra points''': To Peter, for not only doing something incredibly stupid in the first place (driving a car knowing that his dog is chewing on a rope attached to the car) but failing to pay attention as he runs over and kills a young child riding a bicycle, and nearly hits Joe as he swerves into his yard, instead choosing to taunt Brian.
** Later, Joe is trimming his hedges with an electric trimmer and sees Brian walk by, showing off his new look after dental surgery.
*** '''You'd think''': Joe would turn off the trimmer when setting it in his lap.
*** '''Instead''': Nope. [[ForegoneConclusion His legs are severed as a result]].
