1Lois becomes a reporter for Fox News, while Peter creates a cartoon series for FOX.
2
3!Examples:
4* AllForNothing: Peter bough a new HD TV especifically so he could watch the attractive reporter Fox News has. However, not only did the new HD format reveal how unnattractive she really is, but to rub salt on the wound, the program then airs a segment about a new format that makes HD obsolete.
5-->'''Peter''': Son of a bitch!
6* AmateurFilmMakingPlot: Peter Griffin develops a cartoon to pitch to FOX, "Handi-Quacks." Naturally, the finished product [[StylisticSuck looks very much like something Peter would make]].
7* ArtShift: Peter's "Handi-Quacks" cartoon pilot is rendered in the style of a child's crayon drawings with even more LimitedAnimation than usual.
8* AsHimself: Creator/SethRogen voices himself on the TV.
9* {{Bowdlerization}}: In the DVD version after Seth Rogen says the f word, he adds “Did you eat pussy backstage?”
10* ButtMonkey: Half of the creation of "Handi-Quacks" is all about Peter constantly demeaning Meg's BrutalHonesty on how absurd his ideas are, leading him to fire her while praising every single thing Chris says.
11* CanonDiscontinuity: This episode claims that numerous celebrity personalities, including Rush Limbaugh, were created by Fred Savage. However, this is retconned two seasons later in “Excellence in Broadcasting”, as Rush Limbaugh is back to being a real, independent person. This is {{Hand Wave}}d by Lois, who claims that everything that FOX says is a lie, including things that were once true.
12* CastAsAMask: While Creator/FredSavage provides his own voice [[InkSuitActor when appearing as himself]], his Creator/MichaelMoore voice was provided by regular series voice actor Mike Henry.
13* ExpositoryThemeTune: Peter Griffin comes up with such a theme song for "Handi-Quacks," [[StylisticSuck written and produced rather poorly, of course]].
14--> "And they never got their sodaaaaaa!"
15* FullBodyDisguise: Fred Savage surprisingly shows an excellent skill at this, coming up with various aliases such as Creator/RushLimbaugh, Michael Moore and various other actors to satisfy his need to continue acting after ''Series/TheWonderYears'' ended.
16* LimitedAnimation: Peter's "Handi-Quacks" cartoon is produced this way, naturally.
17* MistakenForGay: Lois is ordered to spy on Michael Moore, who's rumored to be gay and appears to be in a relationship with Rush Limbaugh. It eventually turns out both guys are just characters Fred Savage invented and dressed up as to continue his love of acting.
18* OlderThanTheyLook: When Peter, Cleveland, Joe, and Quagmire are looking at each other's driver licenses at The Clam, Quagmire is revealed to have been born in 1948, and is currently 61 years old.
19* ParodyAssistance: When we hear Fred Savage's inner thoughts ala ''The Wonder Years'', Creator/DanielStern even provides the inner monologue voice, as he did in the actual show.
20-->'''Fred Savage''': I DON'T NEED YOU ANYMORE!
21* QuackingUp: A ShowWithinAShow example; Peter produces a pilot for an animated series called "Handi-Quacks", which is about a trio of handicapped ducks.
22* StylisticSuck: Peter's "Handi-Quacks" cartoon, hands down.
