* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: Meg dishes one to Peter, Lois, and Chris.

* StockholmSyndrome: Meg's sympathy towards her family's "predicament" is why she chooses to stay with them.

** The cutaway of the Italian man and the black woman fighting and the whole thing set up like a nature documentary: The part about a group of Hasidic Jews flying away like birds has the narrator's line on the TV version as, "Sensing the impending battle, a flock of Jews flies quickly away, as avoiding confrontation is their best chance for survival." On DVD, the line basically the same, except "their" is changed to "the Jews'".

* {{Foreshadowing}}: Meg saying that she never wants to see Lois again when she turns 18 could be considered subtle foreshadowing to [[Recap/FamilyGuyS10E10MegAndQuagmire Quagmire and Meg]], where Meg turns 18 and is just about to have sex and presumably run away with Quagmire before she's stopped by her parents.

* YankTheDogsChain: Meg calls out her father, mother, and brother for treating her like shit... and then winds up being the family's ButtMonkey again.

** Meg pointing out Lois' past sexual exploits: On TV, Meg says Lois let Gene Simmons and Bill Clinton "go to town on her". On DVD, the line was "...climb inside her."
