9!!Tropes:

11* AcquiredPoisonImmunity: After years of exposure through women defending themselves from his sexual harassment, Quagmire has become immune to pepper spray.
12* AssShove: Downplayed. When he runs out of cash at the strip club, Quagmire asks the stripper if she takes plastic. She says she does and Quagmire responds by sliding his credit card through her butt cheeks, earning himself a slap in the face.
13* {{Bowdlerise}}: The beginning where the family watches Little House on the Prairie with the entire family playing pranks on their blind daughter is cut from the censored versions.
14* DisneyAcidSequence: Stewie has a hallucination in this style brought about by his medication.
15* DoubleEntendre: The strip club in this episode is called 'Fuzzy Clam,' which is a euphemism for a woman’s genitalia.
16* {{Fanservice}}: Chris and Quagmire visit a strip club, complete with various shots of woman shaking their hips in nothing but bikinis.
17* {{Foreshadowing}}: Stewie mentions that one of Brian’s books is by Russian writer Fyodor Dostoevsky. Brian will be seen reading Dostoevsky in "Ready, Willing, and Disabled".
18* HookerWithAHeartOfGold: One of the strippers at the Fuzzy Clam teaches Chris that adults aren't always perfect when he tells her that Peter doesn't spend time with him as often. Chris responds by telling the girl that she's smart. She's also pretty nice to Chris in general.
19* LampshadedDoubleEntendre:
20-->'''Peter:''' Hey, Quagmire, you up for some campin'?
21-->'''Quagmire''': Sorry, bud. The only tent I'm pitchin' this weekend is... {beat}... well, you see where I'm goin' with this.
22* MushroomSamba: When Meg asks why Stewie is freaking out, Lois explained that he is having hallucination from the fever, just like one time when Meg accidentally ate "adult" brownies presumably containing drugs that Lois was saving for the Doobie Brothers concert.
23* SexyDiscretionShot: Peter tells the audience to go away because he wants to do stuff to his wife.
24* ShoutOut:
25** Walking in the woods, Peter wonders out loud if the world was created just for him. Cutaway to a control room just like the one in ''Film/TheTrumanShow'' where Christof and a technician are watching him on a monitor. "Do you think he's onto us, Christof?" "No, he's an idiot!".
26** Brian reads an autobiography from Creator/MrT.
27** When Cleveland, Jr. shows his natural talent at golf, he mentions being Tiger Woods.
28** When encouraging himself to fight his perceived illness, Stewie tells himself "do not go gentle into that good night." He first attributes the quote to singer-songwriter Bob Dylan but then corrects himself; it was written by poet Dylan Thomas.
29** Lois brings Brian some of Peter’s books, which include Mr. T by Mr. T, an autobiography of The A-Team star; T and Me by George Peppard, an actor who co-starred with Mr. T on The A-Team and For the Last Time, I’m Not Mr. T by Ving Rhames, an African-American actor with a physique like that of Mr. T. With the exception of Mr. T by Mr. T, all of these books are fictitious.
30** Cleveland Jr. sings a jingle for Honeycomb breakfast cereal.
31** After Peter tosses Cleveland Jr. a golf ball, he begins kicking it with his feet, singing "I’m Pelé," a mention of the Brazilian soccer player.
32** Cleveland suggests that the sitcom ''Fish'' should be put before the television series ''Series/CHiPs'' as a good marketing strategy.
33** Stewie uses Brian’s books to create papier-mâché replicas of the houseboat from the 1960s campy detective show Surfside 6 and the fort from the post-Civil War-era sitcom F Troop, another 1960s show.
34* SpeakInUnison: When Chris, Meg, Peter, and Brian talk at the same time, they stop talking and then say 'Ruth Bader Ginsburg' to try and trick each other. It doesn’t work.
35* SpotTheImposter: Spoofed. In a CutAwayGag, Lois is facing two versions of Peter. She shoots one but the subsequent RevealingHug makes it [[RoboticReveal clear]] that she killed the real Peter.
36* TheDogBitesBack: An almost literal example; when Stewie destroys Brian's books and smugly gets away with it, Brian messes with Stewie's head about what his shot is doing to him. As a result, he's bombarded with horrific nightmares that leave him writhing in agony.
