* AwardSnub: Widely considered the greatest episode of ''Family Guy'' and is Seth [=MacFarlane=]'s favorite episode to date. Yet it lost the MediaNotes/EmmyAward for Outstanding Animated Program to ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'' episode, "[[Recap/TheSimpsonsS11E22BehindTheLaughter Behind the Laughter]]".

* HarsherInHindsight: UsefulNotes/OsamaBinLaden getting weapons through airport security by singing showtunes. This episode aired a year and a half before 9/11. Even more awkward when you realize that, had Creator/SethMacFarlane not missed his flight due to an agent's error (and a hangover), he would have died that day - he was booked on American Airlines Flight 11. Because of this, the scene is effectively banned forever (unless you have the "Freakin Sweet" DVD collection, the [=iTunes=] version, the Hulu version, or the UK or German DVD version), even after Osama bin Laden was found and killed (making the shot of him singing ''I Hope I Get It'' from ''A Chorus Line'' funny in a sick way). Adding on to that, Brian, whom Seth has admitted is his AuthorAvatar, gets drunk at the airport, indirectly causing him to miss his flight.

** At one point, a man at the airport asks Stewie "[[WesternAnimation/PhineasAndFerb Aren't you a little young to be traveling alone?]]" The director of this episode was Creator/DanPovenmire, who would go on to become one of the co-creators of ''Phineas and Ferb'', in which the line is used as a running gag.

The last two "Harsher" entries are disguised complaining about the later seasons.

** In the surreal commentary where ''Family Guy'' is apparently some sort of reality show, Stewie and Brian trade insults after Stewie notices [[OffModel Brian's chubbier-than-normal looking character model]], which leads to this prophetic little jab:
--->'''Stewie''': You know, you're so in-tune with other people's faults, yet so oblivious to your own. Webster's has words for people like that: asshole!
** Stewie begging Fox not to let the show die has become sadly ironic given how [=MacFarlane=] has been quite open about how the show outstayed its welcome and that the decision to end it is out of his hands.
