Meg begins college at Brown University only to discover that her parents lied on her college application, without her knowledge. Meanwhile Brian tries to get into shape with an awful trainer.
Tropes:
- Blatant Lies: When Chris asks if he'll get into college, Peter and Lois give a lukewarm 'Yes'.
- Flipping the Bird: The squirrel does this to Brian after the latter fails to catch it.
- Shout-Out:
- Sesame Street is referenced when Peter forges a Letter of Recommendation from Big Bird.
- "Mailtime" from Blue's Clues is sung by Peter.
- The blooper from Game of Thrones in which the Starbucks cup was left on the set is referenced in a cutaway where anthroporophic Starbucks cups watch their friend on TV.
- Toilet Humor: In a Cutaway Gag, Peter ends up joining a "fart house" at Brown University. He opens its door and is greeted by a giant fart. He laughs it off, then addresses the audience:Peter: Hey, everyone. I'm in college, but here's a test for you. We just gave you the easiest joke setup in Family Guy history: Peter joins a fart house. Is the correct punchline...?
A. And I thought calculus stunk!
B. We don't need a pledge, we need a big can of Glade!
or
C. You want to see a Brown quad, you should've seen my legs after Greek week!
Good luck to you. And now, back to our story. - Wacky Parent, Serious Child: From how Peter and Meg handle being in college, the former is focused on doing all the college stereotypes (Played for Laughs of course) and the latter is more focused on her education.
