5	!!This episode contains examples of:
6	* ACappella: "The Four Peters" were an A Cappella group consisting of Peter and three clones of himself, shown doing the RecitationHandClasp while performing [[https://youtu.be/fT3wwNaEr4g this hilarious rendition]] of Music/WolfgangAmadeusMozart's "Eine kleine Nachtmusik".
7	* ArsonMurderAndJaywalking: Stewie asking the maid which Latin American country she's from: the one with the civil war, the one with the cocaine, or the one with the fancy hats.
8	* BrickJoke:
9	** Peter kicks Meg out of the house for DudeNotFunny. In a later scene, when she complains about Lois becoming a model:
10	--->'''Peter''': Meg, who let you back in the house?
11	** A cutaway shows Cookie Monster in rehab and needing to be restrained. Lois later finds him in a public bathroom doing cookie dough.
12	* ButtMonkey: Meg is thrown out of the boat so Peter can win the boat race and is then called a manatee by Seamus. Later, she gets kicked out of the house for making a crude joke, while Chris (who made the same joke) is [[DoubleStandard ignored]].
13	* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: Cookie Monster's insatiable appetite for cookies (complete with him heating up cookie dough on a spoon and having to be sent to rehab) is equated to [[GRatedDrug a drug addiction]].
14	* DudeNotFunny: When Lois announces her intention to become a model, Peter says he'll pleasure himself to her eventual photos. Chris says he'll do the same and Meg joins in. Peter condemns [[ButtMonkey Meg]] for this sick comment. Despite her plea that she was just trying to fit in, Peter kicks her out of the house.
15	* FanDisservice: Lois starts off pretty and healthy in her modeling career, but after a while of diet pills and partying it eventually takes a toll on her, showing through her hair being ratty, her eyes having dark bags and being so emaciated from the pills that her ribs are visible and used for xylophones.
16	* {{Fanservice}}: Lois' various photoshoots have her in revealing clothing.
17	* ForTheEvulz: Carter makes Peter eat a pinecone in exchange for needing his help.
18	* GodwinsLaw: The Cookie Monster tells the mental hospital doctors that they're Nazis when they sedate him.
19	* HeadsOrTails: The Founding Fathers decided Rhode Island's name with a coin flip. If it had hit tails, the name would've been Cockapoopoopeepeeshire.
20	* HonorBeforeReason: Brian is too embarrassed to tell Peter and Lois about his worms.
21	* ICantBelieveItsNotHeroin: The Cookie Monster's addiction to cookies has reached the point where he has to be put into rehab.
22	* IfItsYouItsOkay: After recently paroled presidential assassin John Hinkley fires a gun into the air, LipstickLesbian Creator/JodieFoster congratulates him for it and then says maybe she was wrong about him and she was wrong about all men. She then leaves with him hand in hand.
23	* InnocentInnuendo: Peter, to Carter:
24	--> '''Peter''': So, Mr. Pewterschmidt, the big race is tomorrow, eh? Bet you're gonna need some big strapping men to help you with your boat.\
25	'''Carter''': Are you calling me gay?\
26	'''Peter''': No. No, I just thought you might want some... extra seamen on your poop deck.\
27	''(Carter punches Peter)''
28	* LaserGuidedKarma: After refusing to let Peter on his boat, Carter ends up having to compete against him and loses. Later, Peter punches him out (albeit for giving him a book for Christmas instead of the above mentioned punch).
29	* MakingLoveInAllTheWrongPlaces: Peter and Lois end up having sex on Carter's back while he is knocked unconscious.
30	* NoEnding: Brian's worm plot is seldom resolved.
31	* NoPeriodsPeriod: When Brian tells Stewie that Peter is not one to discuss private matters, a flashback cutaway shows Meg getting her period for the first time and Peter loudly applauding her.
32	* PrecisionFStrike: Two examples which are bleeped in the broadcast version. First, Stewie yells, "Fuck you, ''that's'' who works here!" at Brian. Later, at the Vogue magazine party, someone yells "ah, like so fuckin' obvious."
33	* PoorMansPorn: What Peter, Chris, and Meg loudly proclaim they'll do with Lois's modeling photos (with everyone disgusted over Meg saying she'll masturbate to the pictures).
34	* {{Pun}}: Peter, announcing Lois to the bar: "Hey, who's putting together a puzzle? 'Cause I just found a hot piece."
35	* SelectiveEnforcement: While voicing his support for Lois' modeling career, Peter states that he'll "pleasure himself" to Lois' photos, to which [[ParentalIncest both Chris and Meg]] say "Me too!" In response, Peter calls out Meg, and ''only'' Meg, for saying such things about her mother, and when Meg says she was just trying to fit in, Peter responds by [[PunchAWall punching a hole in the wall]] and screaming at her to get out of the house.
36	* SoProudOfYou: Peter praises Meg for getting her first period by screaming in the middle of the night and alerting the whole neighborhood.
37	* ShoutOut: The position of the hands used by the "Four Peters" is the same as used in The Sound of Music. The song they perform is "[[Music/WolfgangAmadeusMozart Eine kleine Nachtmusik]]".
38	** John Hinckley, Jr. fires the starting pistol at the regatta, then walks away with Jodie Foster. In 1981 Hinckley attempted to murder Ronald Reagan in order to impress Foster, with whom he was obsessed. Her subsequent dialog refers to the fact that Jodie Foster is widely assumed to be a lesbian, coming out as such in 2013.
39	** The Maxell “Blown Away Guy” is parodied during the flashback when Carter initially disapproves of Lois’s modeling career.
40	** When Peter asks Lois “aren’t you going to go do your little turn on the cat walk, Lois, on the catwalk, yeah on the catwalk. Do your little turn on the catwalk?” he makes reference to the 1990s song “I’m Too Sexy” by Music/RightSaidFred.
41	** When the evil monkey from Chris’ closet lies on Chris’ bed, this duplicates a scene when Mitch Kramer lies in his bed from the film ''Film/DazedAndConfused'', except that the evil monkey rolls himself a joint, while Mitch did not.
42	** One of Lois’s photoshoot when the dog is tearing off her underwear, is a parody of the Coppertone girl.
43	** "Shawshanking" is a reference to ''Film/TheShawshankRedemption'', where the main character escaped through a sewer pipe.
44	** Rob Schneider's line "makin' copies!" was the catchphrase of "The Richmeister," a character he played on ''Series/SaturdayNightLive'' in the early 1990s.
45	** The parasite worms eating in Brian's stomach mention watching ''Series/SixFeetUnder''.
46	* {{Spexico}}: Stewie thinks all Latin countries are alike when asking the Pewterscmidt's nanny where she's from.
47	--> '''Stewie''': So which of the Latin countries are you from? The one with the civil war, the one with the cocaine or the one with the fancy hats?
48	* TakeThat:
49	** "You're like Music/BritneySpears, except you're not a fat guy."
50	** What happens to a Playboy bunny who loses Stewie's game? She has to go to bed with Rob Schneider.
51	** One of the worms in Brian's stomach mentions finding Series/SixFeetUnder pretentious.
52	* TooMuchInformation: Peter loudly announces to the neighborhood that Meg had her first period. In the middle of the night, no less.
53	--> '''Quagmire''': Yes, Peter, that's very hot, and I'll deal with it in the morning, but right now I'm exhausted!
54	* TheUnfairSex: {{Inverted\|Trope}}. Chris gets off scotch-free for his declaring he'll masturbate to Lois's modelling photos while Meg says she'll do the same and is immediately punished by the family for it.
55	* UnfortunateNames: In one cutaway, Rhode Island was a coin flip away from being named "Cacapoopoopeepeeshire" instead.
56	* WaxingLyrical: "What's wrong? Aren't you gonna go [[Music/RightSaidFred do your little turn on the catwalk, Lois? On the catwalk? Yeah, on the catwalk? Do your little turn on the catwalk?]]"
57	* WhatAreRecords: Rob Schneider tells a Playboy bunny, [[Series/SaturdayNightLive "Making copies!]] Remember that?" The model replies flatly, "I was born in 1987."
58	* WeightWoe: Lois indulges in diet pills to become a thinner beautiful model, resulting in her looking ragged and to the point where her ribcages are visible and [[XylophonesForWalkingBones used for xylophones]].
