5	----
6	!!"Tiegs For Two" contains examples of ([[YMMV/FamilyGuyS9E14TiegsForTwo YMMV goes here]])
7	* AllGirlsWantBadBoys: Quagmire's first lesson is that women want bastards like him instead of Prince Charming. He backs that up by citing the number of times he's had sex since last night: ''[[ReallyGetsAround 60]]''.
8	* AsiansEatPets: In a deleted scene, Mr. Washee Washee comes to the Griffin household for dinner. Stewie teases Brian (who is a dog) and says that he bets that Mr. Washee Washee thinks Brian is what's for dinner. Brian says that's a racist stereotype, however, Mr. Washee Washee jokes about eating Brian for dinner, which leads the latter to run in a panic.
9	* AsYouKnow: "As you may recall, he hates you."
10	* BitchSlap: Brian and Quagmire get into a furious brawl after their arch rivalry reaches boiling point. While both are slugging each other, Quagmire gets in one of these to demonstrate his exceptional hatred of Brian.
11	* {{Bowdlerization}}:
12	** The original title of this episode was called "Famiry Guy" and was going to focus more on Peter getting revenge on the Chinese dry cleaner who lost his shirt.
13	** On the TV version, Peter calls Mr. Washee-Washee and invites him to dinner (with Peter ordering Chinese food). On the DVD version, Peter doesn't call Mr. Washee-Washee and tells Lois that if he's coming to dinner, then Peter will have to blindfold Mr. Washee-Washee with some dental floss (a racist joke about how East Asian eyes are smaller than Western eyes).
14	** The DVD version has an extra scene of Peter threatening to tear one of Mr. Washee-Washee's shirts by putting it on and making it rip (''a la'' David Banner when he transforms into The Incredible Hulk).
15	** Stewie commenting "What the fuck?!" when Brian comes in dressed as a douchebag has "fuck" bleeped out on the TV version.
16	** The DVD version has a scene of a fat woman named Bettina meeting Brian and thanking him for the sex (even though he wasn't completely in).
17	** Brian flipping off Quagmire when he drives by with Cheryl Tiegs has his middle finger blurred out in the TV version.
18	* BulletproofFashionPlate: Compared to most of the brawls throughout the series that leave the opponents exaggeratively bloodied and bruised, after Quagmire and Brian's fight is halted, they both merely dust their coats with a sulky look, neither looking worse for wear.
19	* CharacterisationClickMoment: While Quagmire's hatred for Brian had been established a few episodes before, this is the first instance Brian retaliates, converting their dynamic into mutually pompous [[SitcomArchNemesis Sitcom Archnemeses]] [[MirroringFactions who mutually hate each other for hypocritical reasons]].
20	* ContinuityNod: After Cheryl and Jillian leave the restaurant, Brian and Quagmire see Meg entering on Mayor West's arm.
21	-->'''Meg''': [[Recap/FamilyGuyS4E23DeepThroats Yeah, this still happens sometimes]].
22	* TheCynic: Peter says Brian has to ditch his negative attitude, but it's nothing compared to Negatron.
23	-->'''Negatron''': The Autobots always win. You think Optimus Prime's gonna be dead, but then he's not dead.
24	* CreateYourOwnVillain: After several episodes of Quagmire openly hating Brian, even outright beating him up on one occasion, Brian finally requites his hatred and replies with a personal yet incredibly brilliant low blow: dating Cheryl Tiegs and later, ruining any chance of Quagmire reconciling with her.
25	* DramaticallyMissingThePoint: Brian decides to attend Quagmire's class on picking up girls believing it will teach him how to woo Denise. However, he doesn't realize that Quagmire's lessons are strictly for helping guys get quick flings instead of long-term relationships. When Brian confronts Quagmire about it and explains the situation, Quagmire points out that of course his tips didn't work in Brian's case and he was upfront that the course was for getting laid, not love.
26	* DumbassHasAPoint: Even Jillian understands how awful Brian and Quagmire are being at the restaurant.
27	-->'''Jillian''': Yay, I helped!
28	* FurryReminder: Brian mauls and bites at Quagmire at one point in their brawl.
29	* HalfwayPlotSwitch: Thirdway, more likely, as Peter's conflict is dropped once Brian collects him from the Police Station.
30	* JerkWithAHeartOfJerk: Quagmire. At the end, he opens the car door for Brian to get in, [[BitingTheHandHumor potentially putting an end to a long-running feud...]] [[CruelTwistEnding until he just drives away and hits Brian hard by backing up.]]
31	* JerkassHasAPoint: When Brian tells Quagmire his course was a waste of time and wrecked his shot with Denise, Quagmire points out his course was explicitly for getting laid and never for love. He also says in all honesty that a person only gets their OneTrueLove if they're actually ready and maybe not even then.
32	* LetMeAtHim: After finding out he's dating Cheryl Tiegs, Peter has to hold off Quagmire from (once again) trying to rip Brian to shreds.
33	* NotSoDifferentRemark: Jillian and Cheryl point out Quagmire and Brian are both being equally childish and petty.
34	* OneTrueLove: For Quagmire, it was Cheryl Tiegs, and he lost her. Since Brian hooked up with her to spite him, Quagmire went for Brian's lost love: Jillian.
35	-->'''Quagmire''': Y'see, women are a lot like ''Series/SaturdayNightLive'' sketches: [[TakeThat lots of them are awful]], some are decent, and a few are pretty good, but then there's that one--that one woman who's as amazingly perfect as Massive Head Wound Harry.
36	* RageBreakingPoint: Brian had already shown brimming return contempt for Quagmire at the start of the episode, though Quagmire getting in one more dig after his date with Denise goes wrong seems to be the defining point Brian snaps and plots revenge:
37	-->'''Quagmire:''' If you ask me, she got lucky, because now she's dodged the bullet of being in a relationship with a ''loser like you.''
38	-->'''Brian:''' ''indignant'' Well, you just think you know everything, don't you? Y-You're like a black woman in hindsight!
39	* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: Both characters attempt to outdo the other with this in front of their dates.
40	-->'''Brian''': Well, I guess you guys have gotten pretty close, huh? Did Quagmire ever tell you he was obese as a child?
41	-->'''Quagmire''': Did Brian ever tell you he once had a tick on the back of his neck that he couldn't reach with his mouth, and it swelled up to the size of a ping-pong ball?
42	-->'''Brian''': ''[starting to get annoyed]'' Well, it was still smaller than that thing you had on your lip for three years!
43	-->'''Quagmire''': ''[also annoyed]'' Oh, three years?! You mean like the three years you have ''left on this planet?!''
44	-->'''Brian''': ''[now pissed]'' Oh, that's nice! Hey, if you guys are so close, maybe Jillian should know that you teach a class in picking up women?!
45	-->'''Quagmire''': ''[equally pissed]'' And Cheryl should know that you ''took'' that class!
46	-->'''Brian''': Does Jillian know [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking you're half Polish, Mr. Quagglechek?]]
47	-->'''Quagmire''': [[BerserkButton YOU SON OF A BITCH!]]
48	* RunningGagged: Up until "Brian the Closer" nearly three seasons later, this was the last episode to prominently limelight Quagmire's hatred for Brian, having only very mild passive aggressive spats otherwise. Even besides that, this episode abolishes the one sided KafkaKomedy nature of the feud, with Brian openly hating and antagonising Quagmire back from this point onwards.
49	* ShowDontTell: A CutawayGag involving Creator/MichaelJFox is set up, but instead of the gag itself, we see Peter in black featureless background, explaining his reluctance to show the potentially offensive clip (since the gag involves his Parkinsons Disease). He proceeds to summarize the clip, but afterwards, he is informed he can show it anyway.
50	* ShownTheirWork: The ''VideoGame/StreetFighterII'' cutaway gag is incredibly accurate to the game itself, down to the most minute details, such as ALL of the normal attacks that Peter and Washee Washee use directly coming from the game itself, as well as the Hadōken projectiles having an imprint of Peter's hands in them, and even having a deliberately limited framerate to emulate the game itself.
51	* ShoutOut:
52	** Quagmire claims to be the first person to use the [[Film/WaynesWorld "NOT"]] {{Catchphrase}} [[ItMakesSenseInContext at John Davidson at a Dinner party with Cheryl Tiegs]]. [[DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment ''NOT''!]]
53	** Peter and Mr. Washee Washee fight on E. Honda's stage in ''VideoGame/StreetFighterII'' and recreate various moves.
54	* {{Sitcom Arch Nemesis}}es: Brian and Quagmire's feud reaches it's peak in this episode. Also, Mr. Washee Washee for Peter for this one episode.
55	* ThenLetMeBeEvil: After several failed attempts to befriend Quagmire in previous episodes, Brian snaps back after one too many outbursts and makes a ''very'' personal blow.
56	* TookALevelInBadass: Quagmire once again attacks Brian in a rage this episode. Compared to their previous bout however, Brian keeps equal footing and punches and mauls Quagmire with equal viciousness.
57	* WhatKindOfLamePowerIsHeartAnyway: In the face of criticism of his goals:
58	-->'''Megatron''': I'm takin' this from a robot that turns into a ''canoe''?\
59	'''Negatron''': [[HeartIsAnAwesomePower When there's a battle on a gently moving river, you'll want me.]]
60	* WhatTheHellHero: Cheryl and Jillian when it becomes clear what's going on between Brian and Quagmire.
