* OffWithHisHead: When the guys hit the Clam in the 70s segment, they show up in outfits with extremely large and sharp collars. By the time they reach their booth, they've either decapitated or [[SlashedThroat slit the throats]] of nearly everyone else in the bar. The one person that didn't got sliced into thin pieces vertically instead.

* DontExplainTheJoke: The 50's segment ends with Peter threatening Lois with [[Series/TheHoneymooners "to the moon!"]], leading to Lois having a conversation about what he means by that. When she asks if the idea of striking her so violently she flies to the moon is supposed to be funny, Peter says it no longer is in an annoyed tone.
* DramaticIrony: In the '70s segment, Peter admonishes Stewie for playing with his toy vacuum cleaner like a girl and gives him a discus and javelin to grow up like a real man like Bruce Jenner (who would later identify as a woman and undergo gender reassignment surgery). Peter even shows Stewie Bruce's picture on a box of Wheaties, leading to Stewie remarking about "[[StealthPun didn't these used to have nuts in them]]?".
* DroppedInSpeechClip: In the 60's segment, audio of Music/TheBeatles appearing on the Ed Sullivan Show and the Moon Landing are heard while Peter switches through TV channels.
* OverlyLongGag: Each segment contains a gag in it that goes on for quite a while. The 1950s has the Post Raisin Bran commercial, the 1960s has the bit with Peter's long car and the 1970s has the scene in the club of people getting their necks sliced due to the sharp collars on the guys' shirts.

The 1950s has he "knows war", claiming to have stormed the Post Raisin Bran commercial, the 1960s has the bit beaches of Normandy. Cut to him doing just that, with what appears to be an era-inappropriate M14 rifle, [[BaitAndSwitch only for]] the beach in question to be filled with tourists who [[UnusuallyUninterestingSight pay him no mind]] and lifeguards who tell him "no running on the beach", as Peter's long car and narration reveals he "stormed the 1970s has the scene beach" in the club of people getting their necks sliced due to the sharp collars on the guys' shirts.1958.

** Peter mentions that ''Family Guy'' had sustained a "pretty good ribbing by [[Creator/TreyParkerAndMattStone those]] ''WesternAnimation/SouthPark'' [[Creator/TreyParkerAndMattStone guys]]", which is a reference to the season ten episodes [[Recap/SouthParkS10E3CartoonWarsPartOne Cartoon Wars Part I]] and [[Recap/SouthParkS10E4CartoonWarsPartTwo Cartoon Wars Part II]], where ''South Park'' parodied ''Family Guy''.
