* RebootSnark: The episode features multiple attempts to reboot the show in the wake of the Disney-Fox merger, all of which deviate wildly from the premise and devolve into ridiculousness:
** The first, ''Lois!'', features Lois as a career woman.
** The second, ''Q'', is a gritty supernatural TeenDrama that takes place in the wake of a murder (think ''Series/{{Riverdale}}'').
** The third is a SpinOff comedy focusing on Chris, featuring none of the other original characters.
** Eventually Peter turns on the test audiences trying to decide the reboot's direction (who are portrayed as an [[invoked]]UnpleasableFanbase) before the execs call it off. ''Family Guy'' will remain as is, but with Joe getting more screentime.
