History Recap / FamilyGuyS4E26Petergeist

* RealityIsUnrealistic: Although UsefulNotes/JesusChrist was not actually named "Jesus Hong", there was a Chinese man named [[https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hong_Xiuquan Hong Xiuquan]] who lead the Taiping Rebellion against UsefulNotes/QingChina and told his followers he was Jesus's younger brother.

* AnachronismStew: In order to properly parody ''Film/{{Poltergeist}}'', Peter and Lois's TV broadcast cuts out after they've gone to sleep. While they haven't gone away completely, broadcasts going off the air have been incredibly rare since the mid-90s.

* ShoutOut: The episode's plot is a send-up of ''Film/{{Poltergeist}}''.

* WhatHappenedToTheMouse and {{Bowdlerization}}: On the TV version (both on free TV and cable) of this episode, the scene of Herbert the pedophile fighting the haunted tree and the two of them falling through the earth did not have a resolution to that scene. The DVD version actually has a conclusion to that scene: Herbert and the tree climb out of the hole and settle their differences by going back to Herbert's place for tea and cookies. Herbert then asks the tree if he's a "giving tree" or a "receiving tree". The reason why it was cut was because the FOX censors objected to the anal sex implications (the [[WordOfGod DVD commentary]] mentions this).

** In an alternate scene, Stewie refuses to get out of Meg's butt, saying that it's almost as likely as anyone remembering the [[DorkAge 1980 cast]] of ''Series/SaturdayNightLive'', followed by a cutaway of the opening sequence for that season, which consists of the female castmembers (Denny Dillon, Gail Matthius[[note]]the same one who is more well-known as a voice actress for 1990s cartoons[[/note]], Anne Risley, and super-unknown black female cast member Yvonne Hudson), along with male feature player, Patrick Weathers[[note]]the actual cast did include those people, along with Creator/EddieMurphy, Joe Piscopo, Charles Rocket, Creator/GilbertGottfried, and Matthew Laurence[[/note]].

** When a mutated tree in the Griffin backyard tries to take Chris, Herbert tells the tree, [[Film/TheLordOfTheRings "You shall not pass!"]] He then proceeds to fight the tree, falling through the earth as he does so.

* When Peter is relieved that Lois and Stewie are alright and grossed out because they're covered in slime.

* FunnyAneurysmMoment: Peter pretending that the skull is Robin Williams.

* FunnyAneurysmMoment: Peter using the skull to impersonate Robin Williams.

** When testing the portal through Meg's butt, Peter starts hitting golf balls through the worm hole, saying "[[Film/Fahrenheit911 We're gonna get those terrorists! Now watch this drive!]]"
