9!!This episode contains examples of:
10
11* ArtisticLicenseGeography: When Peter visits Australia, the map doesn't include Tasmania and the islands above the Australian mainland don't look like Papua New Guinea or Indonesia.
12* BaitAndSwitch: When Peter is at the Clam, he tells the guys about how Lois wants a job, and he said he told her, "I got a job for ya, (points to crotch) ''right here''!"... then clarifies: "See, the zipper's been broken for over a month. I gotta use a damn safety pin."
13** In a cutaway, Peter visits Australia and repeatedly pokes a crocodile to wake up. When it finally does, you think the croc is going to attack Peter, but it just sits there. Suddenly, a koala flies from off-screen and lands on Peter's face.
14* BittersweetEnding: Peter and Lois manage to make up and return to the USA safely after their plane was hijacked, but Stewie has lost Janet to her cookie fixation and is heartbroken.
15* FakeOutOpening: Stewie chasing a man on a train, wanting the other half of an amulet.
16* HeadphonesEqualIsolation: Subverted. When Peter is throwing rocks at the house (to take down the Christmas decorations), he throws one through Meg's window, shattering her aquarium. When Meg notices, she merely turns her music up louder.
17* NotWhatItLooksLike: When Peter and Lois have an argument in the airplane bathroom, their plane gets hijacked and they get stuck in the bathroom together due to Peter's weight and size. When they land in Cuba and ask for help, everyone sheepishly believes they were "stuck in the bathroom". Lois yells they weren't doing what people think they were doing, while Peter admits he was.
18* OperationJealousy: When Stewie sees Janet having cookies with another boy, he tries to induce jealousy on her part by hitting on one of her girl friends in the same preschool. It doesn't work.
19* {{Pun}}: The cutaway for the sitcom ''The Communists''.
20--> '''Dad''': I hear report cards vere handed out today. Vot were your grades?\
21'''Son''': Uh, uh, uh-\
22'''Mom''': Qvit Stalin, and answer your father. Go ahead, honey, and tell us your Marx.
23* ShoutOut
24** The episode's title is also the name of one of the songs from ''Film/TheRockyHorrorPictureShow''.
25** [[Series/{{Bewitched}} Gladys and Abner]] live next door to the Griffins.
26** After the plane is hijacked and taken to Cuba, Diane reports how Peter and Lois were left there. She describes them as "a fat man who is inexplicably married to an attractive redhead." The artist rendering then shows [[WesternAnimation/TheFlintstones Fred and Wilma]].
27* TakeThat: After catching him in his lies, Lois bemoans to Peter about the woes of her stewarding job which included her seeing "that crappy Creator/JuliaRoberts movie 17 times".
28--> '''Lois:''' It's like a baboon's ass on her face!
29* WelcomeToEvilMart: When Peter and Lois get stranded in Cuba with their passports in transit, they search for forged passports in a ''literal'' BlackMarket, which sells weapons and such like an ordinary supermarket. The clerk who sells them the passports even offers them a store membership for a 10% discount.
30* VerbalTic: "Cookie?"
31* YankTheDogsChain: Just when it seems like things were finally going well for Stewie and Janet, she asks him for a cookie. This causes him to realise that she wasn't really interested in him and only wanted his cookies.
