Misused pothole. Dude Not Funny is for in-universe reactions only.


* DiscontinuityNod[=/=]CanonDiscontinuity: Before the trial, Homer points out he doesn't know Quagmire ("Quagmire who?").

* EvasiveFightThreadEpisode: Homer vs. Peter. Peter wins (technically, he just got out of the way of the falling saucer, Homer had him dead to rights otherwise) but Homer recovers and they squash their beef.

* EvasiveFightThreadEpisode: Homer vs. Peter. Peter wins (technically, he just got out of the way of the falling saucer, Homer had him dead to rights otherwise) but Homer recovers and they squash their beef. The common fan complaint about the anticlimactic nature of this trope gets {{lampshaded}}: while Peter and Homer walk off into the sunset together after settling their differences and respecting one another, Comic Book Guy spontaneously appears in the canyon to complain that it was the "Worst. Chicken fight. Ever."



* RadiationInducedSuperpowers: Homer and Peter fall into a vat of waste at Springfield Nuclear during their fight, which melts them to their skeletons before they reform as superhumans.



* RunningGag: Several ''The Simpsons'' and ''Family Guy'' gags get peppered throughout this episode.
** The whole fight scene is a reference to the giant chicken fights Peter has in ''Family Guy'' where he gets in lengthy, elaborate fight scenes that take them all over the town as Peter and a giant anthropomorphic chicken beat the stuffing out of each other. Comic Book Guy even calls it a chicken fight at the end of it.
** Peter hits Homer with a plank at one point during their fight, prompting him to yell "Woo-hoo!" in the same intonation that Homer does as his {{Catchphrase}}. This prompts Homer to roundhouse kick him and say "Roadhouse" after, like what Peter does throughout his own series.



** There's a lot of Meta Humor on ''Family Guy'' being considered the PoorMansSubstitute of ''The Simpsons'', from the court case of plagiarism being ruled in "Duff's" favor to Homer using his plentiful Emmys to attack Peter while the latter complains about not having any (despite actually having five). Even ''The Simpsons'' gets in on the fun by having [[WesternAnimation/TheFlintstones Fred Flintstone]] declare both show's beers are rip-offs of his own.

Citation needed on that, since all I can find is that he had scheduling issues, and his only comment was that the two shows were "like matter and anti-matter".

Misused trope with a missing supertrope.


* SoundEffectBleep: {{Averted|Trope}} for this episode, since while ''Family Guy'' saw increased use of censored profanity since being uncancelled, instances of bleep-worthy dialogue on ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'' were much, much rarer.
