1	Peter gets fired for driving a forklift through an executive meeting, and suffers from impotence when Lois gets a job at the grocery store.
2	!!Examples:
3	* AdultsAreUseless: Peter couldn't even do something as simple as make dinner without killing his kids. [[UnexplainedRecovery Though they appear later on alive and well, without any explanation.]]
4	* BodyHorror: Peter tries to drop a beached whale into the ocean with his forklift and accidentally eviscerates it while it is still alive.
5	* BreatherEpisode: After the [[Recap/FamilyGuyS12E6LifeOfBrian last]] [[Recap/FamilyGuyS12E8ChristmasGuy couple]] of immensely [[TearJerker tearjerking]] GameChanger episodes, this one centers around Peter's antics with a forklift, and later, impotence.
6	* CartoonWhale: The beached whale Peter tries to save with a forklift is gray, blocky, and toothy.
7	* DoubleEntendre: In a CutawayGag, Peter has a conversation with a record store clerk, who makes a ton of these around [[Music/ClaudeDebussy Debussy]].
8	-->'''Clerk''': Ooh, Debussy. I love Debussy. Sometimes all I can think about is Debussy. Oh, look at the pianist. The pianist is so good with Debussy.\
9	'''Peter''': So, you like his early work?\
10	'''Clerk''': Oh, yes, when Debussy was young, that's when you want Debussy.\
11	'''Peter''': Okay, I'll take these two.\
12	'''Clerk''': Very good, sir. Just make sure you finish on the Bach. Never finish on Debussy.
13	* EitherOrTitle: The full title is "Peter Problems, or How Peter Got His Groove Back" (though it appears on cable and TV guides as "Peter Problems," meaning that the full title could have been a WorkingTitle that got shortened before broadcast).
14	* EvolvingCredits: Inverted; Upon his death being prevented in the [[Recap/FamilyGuyS12E8ChristmasGuy previous episode]], Brian gets reinstated back into the intro after being replaced by Vinnie.
15	* LionKingLift: Peter shows up a monkey holding up a lion cub by lifting a cub with his new forklift.

17	-->'''Giraffe #2:''' Nah, I don't wanna see that!
18	* TheLoinsSleepTonight: The "problems" mentioned in the title. Peter suffers this after being fired and Lois becomes the breadwinner.
19	* MisplacedWildlife: In a scene parodying the beginning and ending of ''WesternAnimation/TheLionKing1994'', tigers are seen among the African animals. Tigers are supposed to live in Asia.

21	* OverlyLongGag: Peter accidentally killing a beached whale while trying to lift it with his forklift (and then trying to get the dead whale off it) takes at least two agonizing minutes.
22	* StatusQuoIsGod: Peter's job at the brewery is given back to him at the end of the episode.
23	* TooDumbToLive: Peter tries to chug a huge vat of beer at work, while operating a forklift.
