Added DiffLines:

* In Season 8's "The Splendid Source", Peter, Quagmire, Cleveland, and Joe find out there's a secret society and private island of people who come up with the best jokes of all kinds that ever existed. However, since the gang was one of the few people to discover them, they can't risk their organization being revealed.\\
'''You'd Expect''': Them to either a)Make Peter and the others solemnly swear to never tell anyone about the society, since Peter even assured them they wouldn't, or b)Better yet, make the gang honorary members themselves. At the very least, they can keep an eye on them since they have various members all over the world.\\
'''Instead''': They lock them all up in a dungeon hidden on the island, away from the rest of society.\\
'''The Result''': The gang escapes and after a brief brawl, blows up the entire island, possibly ending the ultimate source of jokes.\\
'''Keep In Mind''': Even if they didn't escape, their wives and families would've found out where they were eventually and broke them out themselves, especially since Joe is a ''freakin' cop''!

Added DiffLines:

* In "Leggo My Meg-O", Brian and Stewie stage a rescue mission for Meg after she's abducted in Paris. Eventually, they end up on a boat with a bunch of armed kidnappers, so Stewie gives a gun to Brian (who claims to not know how to use one) so he can defend himself.\\
'''You'd Expect''': Brian to only use the gun to take out the kidnappers.\\
'''Instead''': He shoots a waiter on another boat just to show off.\\
'''Bonus Idiot Points''': That was his last bullet, so now Brian is left defenseless against the last of Meg's kidnappers. He's lucky the people from the other boat did the job for him.
