3When Lois thinks she has a lump on her breast, she goes to Dr. Hartman to see if it's breast cancer. It turns out she doesn't, but when Hartman looks through her family records, he shows Lois that her mother was a Holocaust survivor, revealing that she is Jewish.
4----
5!!"Family Goy" contains examples of:
6* AllJewsAreCheapskates: Lampshaded with the CashLure mentioned below, but played straight with the revelation that Grandma Hebrewberg's original name was Hebrewbergmoneygrabber.
7* CallBack: This marks the second appearance of Max Weinstein from "When You Wish Upon a Weinstein".
8* CashLure: Carter tries to attract Lois and Barbara with one of these so he can squirt them with a water gun. They don't fall for it, but he squirts them anyway.
9* CockADoodleDawn: Parodied in one CutawayGag where a mentally-handicapped rooster says "Goodnight everybody!" at the crack of dawn.
10* CrossingTheBurntBridge: PlayedForLaughs. Brian talks about how people can go overboard with what they think, leading to a cutaway about Quagmire thinking he was the one getting a spin-off.
11-->'''Quagmire:''' See you later, bitches! Have fun with your stupid, goddamn Giant Chicken jokes and your Conway Twitty--[[OhCrap hey, why is there a moving truck outside Cleveland's house?]]
12* DirtyCop: Not only does he not arrest Peter for shooting at Mort (for simply being Jewish), Joe '''''also shoots at Mort''''' -- and it's all as a friendly "good morning" (as Mort resignedly says).
13* EasterEpisode: The plot becomes this in the second half of the episode with Lois and the family having a Passover sedar which is crashed by Peter dressed as the EasterBunny.
14* HalfwayPlotSwitch: The plot goes from Peter's relationship with his Kathy Ireland cutout to discovering Lois's Jewish heritage.
15* HypocriticalHumor: Brian agrees with ''Jesus'' that [[TakeThat all religions are crap]].
16* LoveFatherLoveSon: The Kathy Ireland cardboard cut-out has been used by both Peter and Chris Griffin.
17* ShoutOut:
18** Peter tries to shoot Lois and Mort a la [[Film/SchindlersList Amon Goetz]], right down to the way he puts away a cigarette.
19** Stewie [[Film/IndianaJonesAndTheTempleOfDoom tears Meg's heart out of her chest]].
20** Peter asks Francis' ghost to tell him [[Film/TheEmpireStrikesBack "Luke, you must go to the Dagobah system"]].
21* ShownTheirWork: Stewie's prayer at the Seder is a real Jewish prayer.
22* SpecialEditionTitle: A sendup of ''{{WesternAnimation/Superfriends}}''.
23* StatusQuoIsGod: At the end of the episode, at the encouragement of Jesus, the Griffins all re-convert back into Catholics.
