** "It's time you started acting like the Pieceaschmidt you are."
** The "Diamonds" cutaway gag advertisement which shows a woman receiving a diamond ring as a gift and she kisses her significant other before suddenly dropping down...cutting to black with the writing "She'll pretty much have to." According to the DVD commentary, they originally had her go completely offscreen as the man smiles, and while the censors allowed them to keep the joke, there was a lot of exact frame-by-frame deliberation about how far down she was allowed to go before the cut (contrast with the UK cut, which completely removed the punchline to that joke).

* {{Bowdlerisation}}: On Channel 4 in the UK, Peter's line about Cherrywood Manor being the first Presidential whorehouse was cut to remove the picture of Abraham Lincoln photographed with a prostitute with his stovepipe hat covering his erection (though, not Peter's line about Lincoln having "jungle fever"[[note]]someone having "jungle fever" is slang -- albeit racist slang -- for being sexually attracted to black people, particularly African-Americans, similar to having "yellow fever" means being sexually attracted to Asians[[/note]]).
** Also edited on Channel 4 (and the free-TV American syndicated version [as opposed to the Creator/AdultSwim version, which is uncensored]) is the cutaway of Peter being sworn into court and replying, "I do, you bastard." The edited version cuts it down to "I do," which ruins Peter's line setting up the cutaway about how it's okay to swear (though the edited version also makes this a StealthPun showing that the only time it's okay to swear is if you're going on the witness stand in court).

* SongParody: "This House Is Freakin' Sweet", a soundalike of "I Think I'm Gonna Like it Here" from ''[[Film/{{Annie1982}} Annie]]''.
