While trying to curb his perverted behaviour after getting caught peeping in the ladies room, Quagmire accidentally saves a woman with CPR and is declared a hero. Jealous of Quagmire, Peter decides to do something that people will remember him for. Unfortunately, due to his attempt to break a world record by eating more nickels than anyone ever had, he succumbs to nickel poisoning and ends up going blind.
!!This episode contains examples of:
* AccidentalHero:
** Double-subverted. Quagmire intentionally saved a woman from a heart attack, but he didn't actually know what CPR was.
** Played straighter with Peter, who saved Horace from the Drunken Clam when it got set on fire. However, because Peter was blind at the time, he had no idea.
* AccidentalMurder: Peter accidentally falls on and kills actress and former Saturday Night Live cast member Creator/JoanCusack in one of his attempts to be remembered for something. He then haphazardly stuffs her body into a mail box.
* BrickJoke:
** At the bowling alley, Peter sees Creator/JuddHirsch working on a missile below the lanes. Later in the show, the Keebler Elves plot against Snap, Crackle, and Pop, “assuming Judd Hirsch delivers with the goods.” Later on it is implied that Snap was killed during the ambush by the Keebler Elves.
** Near the end of the episode, a blind Peter ties up his guard dog to a hobo, thinking he was actually tying him to a parking meter. Said guard dog runs away with the poor hobo being dragged along with him. Then at the end of the episode, it's stated that Peter received an eye transplant from the hobo who winded up getting killed from being dragged.
* ColdTurkeysAreEverywhere: As the guys try to rehabilitate Quagmire, he has trouble controlling his libido as he sees in his head sexy women everywhere (save for [[ButtMonkey Meg]]) as well as other various sexual stimulants.
* ConvectionSchmonvection: Peter walks into the Drunken Clam without realizing it's on fire. Blind or not, he should still have felt the heat (he did smell the smoke, but assumed it was just from someone smoking).
* CPRCleanPrettyReliable: {{Parodied|Trope}}; when Quagmire panics during his test to see if he can act non-pervertedly, he accidentally winds up in a security room of a clothing store. From there, he notices a woman in the changing room suddenly having a heart attack, rushing in to give her quick chest compressions and mouth-to-mouth. This ends up reviving her, [[AccidentalHero but this appears to have been an incidental gain]] as [[HowDidYouKnowIDidnt Quagmire has no idea what "CPR" is]].
* DidntThinkThisThrough: Peter decides to set a world record for eating the most nickels. He then goes blind from nickel poisoning.
* ForbiddenFruit: Anyone that Quagmire lusts after which includes a group of underage schoolgirls, a mother breastfeeding her child and a group of cheerleaders having a water fight in the fountain.
* GirlOnGirlIsHot: In the mall, three cheerleaders drop their pom-pom in the water, take off their shirts before getting in, have a splash fight and end up making out together.
* HalfwayPlotSwitch: The episode goes from Quagmire trying to cure himself of his perverted ways to Peter eating coins and going blind from it.
* HowDidYouKnowIDidnt:
** Quagmire saves a woman from a heart attack. Another woman thanks him for administering CPR.
--->'''Quagmire:''' What the hell's CPR?
** Also happens after a blind Peter is congratulated for saving Horace from the Drunken Clam.
--->'''Peter:''' That freaking place was on fire!?
* LousyLoversAreLosers: There's a scene where the audience can hear Peter and Lois having sex with the sound of all the coins Peter has ingested jangling around inside him, which [[SpeedSex lasts about ten seconds]].
* LustMakesYouDumb: Quagmire chose to peep on Lois by ''hiding on the ceiling'', causing him to get caught and in serious legal trouble.
* NeverTrustATitle: Peter only becomes blind at the last quarter of the episode.
* OutOfCharacterMoment: Peter is known to get extremely jealous if any man shows even the slightest attraction to Lois, so it's weird seeing him defending Quagmire after he got arrested for ''watching her go to the bathroom''.
* OverlyLongGag: The fight between Peter and The Giant Chicken goes on longer than their first fight in "Da Boom".
* OvershadowedByControversy: In-universe. Mort bowling a perfect 300 immediately takes a backseat to Quagmire peeping in the ladies room.
* ThePeepingTom: Quagmire at the start of the episode. Unlike most of his perverted shenanigans, [[SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome this time he gets in trouble for it]].
* RageBreakingPoint: How Lois catches Quagmire: she ends up taking so long setting up the toilet for her to sit, he snaps and yells at her to just sit down already.
* StatusQuoIsGod: Peter gets his eye sight back after an eye transplant at the end of the episode.
* ShoutOut:
** Peter spent a week with Superman, Aquaman, Wonder Woman and Batman in the Fortress of Solitude from the Superman movies. Peter interrupts their meeting, in which the heroes are discussing how to foil Lex Luthor.
** When the Drunken Clam is on fire, Peter, being unaware of the danger he is in, makes conversation with the panicking Horace by mentioning the NBC sitcom ''{{Series/Scrubs}}''.
** [[Advertising/SnapCrackleAndPop Snap, Crackle, and Pop]] get bombed in an ambush launched by the Keebler Elves.
* TakeThat: Quagmire thinks of Creator/ReneeZellweger to avoid getting turned on.
* WorstNewsJudgementEver: After reporting on the "Quagmire peeps in the ladies' room" scandal, Tom Tucker mentions that an upcoming report will be about Diane's weight (she understandably gives him a DeathGlare in response).
