5	Peter gets addicted to The Trashmen's "Surfin' Bird," which irritates everyone around him -- to the point that Brian and Stewie destroy the vinyl single Peter bought. When Peter goes to a record store to get a replacement, he meets Jesus Christ Himself, who wants to live like a mortal.
6	----
7	!!"I Dream of Jesus" contains examples of.
8
9	* AscendedExtra: Jesus has only appeared in {{Cutaway Gag}}s or set-ups for jokes, here he becomes the focus of the episode.
10	* AteHisGun: While he doesn't kill himself, Stewie places a gun in his mouth because of Peter playing "Surfin' Bird" nonstop. WordOfGod says that at one point during the episode's production he ''did'' shoot the gun.
11	* BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor: Initially Stewie want to hear the record play again, saying he likes repetition, but come time when Peter has been playing it over and over again, he gets sick of it.
12	* BreastExpansion: Jesus, on Peter's request makes Lois's breasts so big that they open all the buttons on her shirt.
13	* ButNowIMustGo: Jesus, realizing he's not ready for the world.
14	* CargoShip: InUniverse. When Peter complains about his stolen record, he lets slip that he had sex with it, and left all of his possessions to the record in his will.
15	* DeliberateValuesDissonance: The diner at the beginning is so dedicated to capturing the look and feel of Main/TheFifties that when [[TokenBlackFriend Cleveland]] steps in, a bunch of employees dressed as cops use a fire hose to spray him with enough force to send him out.
16	-->'''Cleveland:''' [[InsultOfEndearment Oh, that takes me back.]]
17	* EarWorm: Surfin Bird by The Trashmen.
18	* EverybodyDoTheEndlessLoop: Peter's dancing animation to "Surfin' Bird."
19	* GodTest: When the Griffins have Jesus over for dinner, Brian asks him to prove that he is Jesus. So Jesus instantly turns everyone's dinner into ice cream. And, at the request of Peter after the above incident, enlarged Lois' breasts.
20	* GrapesOfLuxury: Peter feeds them to Jesus during their musical number.
21	* HalfwayPlotSwitch: Probably the most infamous. Peter becomes obsessed with "Surfin' Bird", only to become a famous friend of Jesus. Although the first half gets a BrickJoke at the end when Jesus gave him a new "Surfin' Bird" record (see Oh Crap).
22	* IncessantMusicMadness: Peter is obsessed with his "Surfin' Bird" 45" and refuses to stop playing it even when everyone else is sick of it.
23	* JawDrop: Brian in response to the above-mentioned BreastExpansion.
24	* JerkassBall: Because God recently quit smoking, Jesus says that he's been on edge lately (which is part of the reason that Jesus came back to visit), followed by a CutawayGag of God flipping out over minor things.
25	--> '''God:''' '''WHY IS THERE A PEN CAP, AND NO PEN?!'''
26	* JumpingOutOfACake: Jesus does this one Peter during their song.
27	* LimitedAnimation: Peter's pose-to-pose dancing to "Surfin' Bird." Only his lip movements have more effort to the animation than the rest of his body.
28	* OhCrap: At the end...
29	-->'''Peter:''' [Jesus] did give me something before he disappeared.
30	-->'''Lois:''' What?
31	-->'''Peter:''' Something ''very special''. Lois.
32	-->'''Meg:''' What is it, Dad?
33	-->'''Peter:''' What, you haven't heard?
34	-->'''Stewie:''' '''''[[AtomicFBomb FUUUUUUUUUUCK!!!]]'''''[[note]]on the DVD version[[/note]]/'''''CRAAAAAAAAAP!!!'''''[[note]]on the TV version[[/note]]
35	* MotorMouth: Peter when he claims everyone in the family had a motive for stealing his "Surfin' Bird" record and comes up with a crazy story about it.
36	* RidingTheBomb: Jesus does it at one point during the musical number.
37	* ShoutOut
38	** [[{{Film/Cloverfield}} "Brian, I don't feel so good."]]
39	** The scene where Stewie and Brian steal the record is based on ''Film/MissionImpossible'' and the scene where they destroy it resembles a scene from ''Film/OfficeSpace''.
40	* TakeThat: Lois claims that records don't just walk away, with the exception of her Creator/AllanSherman record.
41	-->'''Record''': If you ain't gonna play me, don't complain when I split. There's a lot of Jews still get a laugh off of "Hello Muddah, Hello Faddah". ''(walks out)'' Oh, such heat this morning. I don't need this jacket.
42	* VerbalTic: Peter takes the "Surfin Bird" record home and proceeds to drive everyone crazy by playing the song non-stop, dancing to the song and making it a part of every conversation he has.
