6	----
7	!!This episode contains examples of:
8
9	* AGodAmI: [[Creator/{{Microsoft}} Bill Gates]] shows this tendency while flying with a jet pack alongside [[Creator/{{Disney}} Michael Eisner]]
10	-->'''Eisner''': From up here, the people look like ants.
11	-->'''Gates''': They ''are'' ants, Michael. They ''are'' ants!
12	* AreYouPonderingWhatImPondering: After Brian takes Seabreeze, an angry Carter asks if Peter knows what he's going to do to him if he doesn't find that dog. Peter has an idea: Carter destroying the macaroni drawing he made of the two of them.
13	* BatSignal: When Bill Gates needs a ride home, he uses a flashlight to shine the Microsoft symbol[[note]][[WritingAroundTrademarks where the colors of each square have been flipped vertically]][[/note]] in the night sky, which summons a helicopter.
14	* BigEater: Peter fears Brian will become this to compensate for losing his testicles, and imagines Brian turning into a furry ball of fat eating chocolate.
15	-->'''Brian''': I LOOOOOOOVE chocolate. But I can't eat it cuz then I'll get ''fat.'' But it's SOOOOOO good.
16	* BittersweetEnding: Seabreeze's puppies not being Brian's saves him from being neutered, but he's disappointed that he won't get to be a dad.
17	* TheBlank: Peter's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kia9tzvzjK4 poker face]]. "Years of practice."
18	* BlackComedyRape: As Seabreeze is a canine and therefore not a human, the rape is primarily PlayedForLaughs. Also Turner having sex with Seabreeze is also used for comedy.
19	* BowChickaWowWow: Stewie does this after Brian runs out onto a greyhound track and violates Seabreeze.
20	* BrickJoke: Early in the episode, UsefulNotes/TedTurner loses CNN to Carter in a poker game. At the end of the episode, when Seabreeze finally has her puppies, they are born looking like Ted Turner, revealing that Turner most likely impregnated her in revenge losing CNN in the poker game.
21	* ChocolateBaby: Implied when Carter visibly balks at the mention of Lois taking her mom to a shoe store where one of the employees is a "nice mulatto boy" who looks like ''someone''.
22	* CoitusUninterruptus: When Brian can't fight his sexual urges anymore, he runs out on to the dog race track and forces himself on Seabreeze in front of everyone in plain view.
23	* ColdTurkeysAreEverywhere: Despite his best efforts, Brian can't escape numerous temptations to satisfy his primal sexual urges, such as channel surfing to FOX's "World's Sluttiest Dogs" and Carter giving a very sexualized description of Seabreeze. He finally submits when he sees Seabreeze race and is so overcome with passion that he runs onto the track and grabs her to have sex.
24	* DontExplainTheJoke: Lampshaded when Peter is playing poker with Carter and his friends. When Peter is asked if aces are high or low, he responds that they go both ways. [[HehHehYouSaidX Everyone laughs]].
25	-->'''Ted Turner''': Like a bisexual!
26	-->'''Michael Eisner''': Thank you, Ted. That was the joke.
27	* DoubleMeaningTitle: "Screwed The Pooch" is taken literally, with Brian giving into his urges and screwing Carter's prized racedog, and metaphorically with this act screwing up Peter's bond with Carter after finally getting on his father-in-law's good graces.
28	* ExplainExplainOhCrap: Peter does this while he and Carter watch Brian "in action":
29	-->'''Carter:''' He's violating Seabreeze!
30	-->'''Peter:''' Oh, no, he's just awkwardly positioning himself...''now'' he's violating Seabreeze.
31	* FalseDichotomy: {{Parodied\|Trope}}; Carter's lawyers use complete non sequiturs for the second choice in order to assure that the negative first choice will be the one that Peter says better describes Brian. See InsaneTrollLogic below.
32	* FatIdiot: Peter's idea of Brian after he loses his testicles, a doughball who can only gush about loving chocolate in a SimpletonVoice.
33	* TheFriendNobodyLikes: Ted Turner is depicted as such.
34	* FriendOrIdolDecision: What Brian did damages Peter's newfound good relationship with Carter. Carter is outraged, but he later offers to invite Peter to another poker game if he testifies against Brian. Peter is conflicted, but he ultimately sides with Brian.
35	* FunnyBackgroundEvent: A serious conversation between Lois and Brian becomes completely secondary to the fact that Peter has just farted in the soundproof booth he has locked himself in, and is increasingly desperate to escape his own gas before collapsing into unconsciousness.
36	* FurryReminder: Invoked. Brian doesn't want to acknowledge his instincts as a dog and is humiliated when he has to trick a normal dog into turning around just so he can smell her butt.
37	* GoneHorriblyRight: Peter went into a soundproof booth to be able to completely ignore Brian. Peter couldn't hear a thing, but that meant Brian and Lois couldn't hear him as he suddenly realized he was running out of air and tried to escape.
38	* HeadphonesEqualIsolation: Brian testifies in court that Meg's real father is a man named Stan Thompson. Unfortunately Meg is listening to music at the time and remains oblivious.
39	* HistoricalInJoke: When Carter first introduces Peter to Bill Gates, he tells him that [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_v._Microsoft_Corp he's an anti-trust lawyer from the US Justice Department]]. [[BerserkButton Gates immediately punches Peter in the face]] before Carter explains he was joking.
40	* HoistByHisOwnPetard: Peter puts himself in a soundproof box so he wouldn't have to talk to or hear Brian, only to then let out an especially heinous fart that leads to Peter passing out from lack of oxygen as he struggles to break free.
41	* HopeSpot: Peter wins over Carter during the poker game, and they become friends. Then they go to the race track, where Brian sees Seabreeze in action...
42	* InsaneTrollLogic: Carter's lawyers try to prove that Brian is an unfit father.
43	-->'''Lawyer''': Mr. Griffin, which of the following two phrases best describes Brian Griffin: Problem Drinker or African-American Haberdasher?
44	-->'''Peter''': Uh, do I-I guess problem drinker, but that's uh-
45	-->'''Lawyer''': Thank you. Now: Sexual deviant or magic picture that if you stare at it long enough, you see something?
46	-->'''Peter''': Well, sexual deviant, but that other one's not even, eh-
47	-->'''Lawyer''': Thank you.
48	* InterspeciesRomance: Seabreeze apparently had puppies with Ted Turner.
49	* ItWasHisSled:[[invoked]] [[TropeNamers The episode that named the trope.]] One of the movies Peter taped over was ''Film/CitizenKane''. "It's his sled. It was his sled from when he was a kid. There. I just saved you two long, boobless hours."
50	* KangarooPouchRide: Peter climbs into the pouch of a kangaroo. The results can be seen [[https://media1.tenor.com/images/6af8135945b91773eba3696e079a9e84/tenor.gif?itemid=5317548 here.]]
51	* LateToThePunchline: Peter spends days standing by a newspaper stand staring at a cartoon in ''Magazine/TheNewYorker'' (with the caption "I'd be more apathetic if I weren't so lethargic") before he finally gets it. He notes it's "kind of funny," before returning the magazine and getting a copy of ''Juggs''.
52	* OddFriendship: Peter forms one not just with Carter, but also Bill Gates and Michael Eisner.
53	* PersonaNonGrata: Due to taping over the movies he was renting, Peter has been banned from the video store.
54	* PinocchioNose: Peter knows Ted Turner is bluffing when he blinks twice; he first noticed it after watching a Barbara Walters interview, when Ted said he'd be with Creator/JaneFonda forever.
55	* RageBreakingPoint: In a cutaway, at Denny's, Brian sits by a baby, who is disruptively crying, and Brian reacts like this:
56	-->'''Brian''': Waaaaaaaaaah! Waaaaaaaaaah! You like that, huh?! You like that?! Waaaaaaaaaah!! You just tune this out, don't you?!! Waaaaaaaaaah!!! Well, tune this out!!!! Waaaaaaaaaah!!!!!
57	-->''[the customers and employees are shocked, and the baby attempts crying again]''
58	-->'''Brian''': Wah!
59	-->''[the baby tries to cry again]''
60	-->'''Brian''': Wah!!
61	-->''[the baby tries to cry, once again]''
62	-->'''Brian''': [[BigShutUp Shut up!!!]]
63	* ReachingBetweenTheLines: One cutaway gag involves Peter getting an email from Carter, which contains Carter's fist punching him out of his chair.
64	* RecycledPremise. Brian [[Recap/TheSimpsonsS6E20TwoDozenAndOneGreyhounds isn't the first dog in an animated FOX sitcom to ruin a greyhound race by pursuing, mounting, and (allegedly) impregnating one of the dogs, in the middle of the track, before a crowd of onlookers]].
65	* TakeThat: Carter's lawyer damages Brian's credibility in court by pointing out how he rented ''Film/BioDome'' and ''Film/SonInLaw'', both starring Creator/PaulyShore. Brian explains he rented those movies for Peter after the video store kicked him out for taping over their films.
66	* TheTell: Peter points out that Ted Turner has a poker tell in the form of blinking twice when he lies, and he's so confident in it that he pushes Carter to call his bluff, betting to divorce Lois if he loses (and indeed, Carter has the better hand). After the game, Peter explains he learned it after he saw Turner in an interview [[HistoricalInJoke claiming he and Jane Fonda would be together forever.]]
67	* WhaleEgg: Averted, but Peter admits he always thought dogs laid eggs.
68	* XanatosGambit: Peter convinces Carter to call Turner’s bluff with the promise of divorcing Lois if he were to lose.
69	* YankTheDogsChain: Peter finally gets on his father-in-law's good side... only for Brian to screw things up in more ways than one.
