History Recap / FamilyGuyS1E3ChittyChittyDeathBang

* PassThePopcorn: Before Peter can explain why he got banned from Cheesy Charlie's, Brian pulls up a chair. At the end, he applauds him, calling him "the Creator/SpauldingGrey of crap".

* ImplausiableDeniablity: In one cutaway, Peter [[UncomfortableElevatorMoment farts in an elevator]]. He then says "That was you" to ''the only person in the elevator with him''.

* {{Bowdlerization}}: On Channel 4 in the UK, the flashback where Peter guns down Music/{{Hanson}}, thinking they are [[Literature/ChildrenOfTheCorn the Children of the Corn]], was shortened so that he fires the gun three times instead of six.

* SuckECheeses: Cheesie Charlie's--exaggerated in Peter's fantasy, where he compares it to a dungeon led by the Devil but averted in reality, as it looks fairly normal for an arcade/pizza restaurant where families take their kids for their birthdays (though Chris does mistake a condom machine in the men's room for one of the games).

* DoesNotLikeSpam: Stewie apparently doesn't like sprinkles--when Chris offered to make him a bowl of ice cream, Stewie tells Chris to not put any sprinkles on his ice cream, and threatened to kill Chris for every sprinkle he put on it.

* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: The flashback to Meg's first birthday, where Peter gleefully informs Lois of all of his daughter's firsts (first words, first steps, [[TheLastOfTheseIsNotLikeTheOther first drum solo]]) which she's missing because of all the kitchen work, as well as the fact that they like her enough to throw her a party, is a far cry from the punching bag Meg would eventually become.

Thanks to Peter being Peter, plans to have Stewie's first birthday party at Cheesy Charlie's are canceled, which upsets Lois -- but not as much as having Meg ditch the party to be with her new friends, who are all part of a suicide cult.

* SuckECheeses: Cheesy Charlie's. Exaggerated in Peter's fantasy, where he compares it to a dungeon led by the Devil; averted in reality, as it looks fairly normal for an arcade-cum-pizza restaurant where families take their kids for their birthdays (though Chris does mistake a condom machine in the men's room for one of the games).

* KeepCirculatingTheTapes and EditedForSyndication: The original airing of this episode had a part where Stewie (after being asked to make a wish before blowing out his birthday cake candles) imagines sounds of war and devastation before deciding to wish for a 1970s roller disco party. The reruns (including the DVD version) have a different soundtrack where it doesn't include audio of one of Hitler's speeches. Ironically, this doesn’t apply to the German voice track.

Lois has booked Cheesie Charlie's, for Stewie's upcoming first birthday party and sends Peter along with Chris to drop off the deposit check at the restaurant. However, once they arrive, Peter sports an attitude that causes the manager to give their reservation to someone else - a move Peter later realizes will infuriate Lois. Meanwhile, Stewie misinterprets the meaning of his birthday and assumes that the same mysterious "Man in White" who delivered him as an infant will be returning to force Stewie back into Lois' womb from which he escaped just one year ago. Meg cries all the way home to Peter from cheerleading practice, and has been having trouble fitting in at school. Later, she discovers a new friend named Jennifer.

Peter covers his mistake up by telling Lois that they don't need to have Stewie's party at Cheesie Charlie's because they are Nazis who torture, kill and kidnap people. He pretends that he's already planned an extravagant party at home. Meanwhile, Stewie makes it all the way to the airport before deciding that he should face "The Man in White" after all. Peter tries desperately, but ultimately unsuccessfully, to put together a party in time for Stewie's birthday. He finally reroutes a circus into the Griffins' backyard, saving the day - that is, until he reveals to Lois that he gave Meg permission to go to a party at her friend's house. Lois, who wanted the whole family together for Stewie's party, is upset with Peter for letting Meg go. What Peter and Lois don't realize is that Meg's "party" is actually a cult meeting where all the members are about to commit group suicide.

Peter goes to retrieve Meg from her "party", oblivious to the fact that he is sparing her life in the process. The Cult Leader chases after them while wearing his ceremonial white robe and is mistaken by Stewie as "The Man in White". Stewie does away with him and, feeling victorious, joins the others to enjoy his party.

* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness, JerkAss, and JerkWithAHeartOfGold: It may be jarring to viewers who are used to the current characterizations of Meg and Peter (Meg as a mentally disturbed ButtMonkey who constantly gets bullied and harassed by her family and Peter as a PsychopathicManchild who has little to no remorse for others), but, once upon a time, Meg was a BrattyTeenageDaughter who felt her family was embarrassing and wanted to be popular and have friends and Peter, despite acting like a jerk to the manager of Cheesie Charlies and covering up his mistake, at least tried to make Stewie's first birthday a memorable one.

* KeepCirculatingTheTapes and EditedForSyndication: The original airing of this episode had a part where Stewie (after being asked to make a wish before blowing out his birthday cake candles) imagines sounds of war and devastation before deciding to wish for a 1970s roller disco party. The reruns (including the DVD version) have a different soundtrack where it doesn't include audio of one of Hitler's speeches.
** Ironically, this doesn’t apply to the German voice track.
* SuckECheeses: Cheesy Charlies. Exaggerated in Peter's fantasy, where he compares it to a dungeon led by the Devil.

* JerkAss: It may be jarring to viewers who never watched the show pre-cancellation and recognize Meg as the ButtMonkey, but Meg comes off as a huge BrattyTeenageDaughter.
--> [[ItsAllAboutMe "I can't believe you would put your own family ahead of me!"]]
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Meg winds up repenting for her above brattiness near the end.
** Likewise, Peter, despite acting like a jerk to the manager of Cheesie Charlies and covering up his mistake, he genuinely seems to care for Stewie's birthday party. Again, pretty jarring for those who are used to him being a sociopathic idiot.

* JerkAss/ItsAllAboutMe: It may be jarring to viewers who never watched the show pre-cancellation and recognize Meg as the ButtMonkey, but Meg comes off as a huge BrattyTeenageDaughter.
--> "I can't believe you would put your own family ahead of me!"
