* DontShootTheMessage: The episode advocates for the legalization of marijuana by having Brian specifically say that the town's productivity has gone up since everyone started smoking. However, this is contradicted by some scenes that show how those who have used the substance have become almost completely unable to function properly. Tom and Diane can barely form cohesive sentences while reporting the news, and Peter himself struggles to set up one of his trademark {{Cutaway Gag}}s.

* HarsherInHindsight: At the end of the episode, Brian's book not selling a single copy (despite ''two million'' of them being printed) is mainly played for laughs. However, [[Recap/FamilyGuyS9E7RoadToTheNorthPole two seasons later]], when Brian discovers that all of the unsold copies are being returned (and that shredded pages of ''his own book'' are being used as packing material), he becomes so despondent that he almost gives up writing for good.
