2Brian reconnects with an old friend from his days as a stray, who has become a millionaire. Meanwhile, Lois' new haircut becomes a complete war between her and Peter.
3----
4!!"Short Cuts" contains examples of:
5%%* BlatantLies: Brian, throughout the episode.
6* BerserkButton: Lois really doesn’t take kindly to Peter comparing her to Anne Hathaway.
7* BittersweetEnding: Brian loses one of his testicles, but at least he didn't get ''fully'' neutered, and it's replaced... with a jester bell.
8* ContinuityNod: This episode brings up Brian's life as a homeless dog prior to being one of the Griffins, first told in "Brian, Portrait of a Dog", and referenced a few times since.
9* EverythingExceptMostThings: Peter, again showing how much of a misogynist he is tells Lois that a woman's hairstyle is the only thing a man can control about women....besides their uterus, how much money they make and every other aspect of their lives.
10* EvilFormerFriend: George Townshend/Shredder is this to Brian.
11* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Stewie saves Brian from the operation, but still belittles him for his behavior.
12* SelfMadeMan: George Townshend became this during his pursuit of revenge on Brian. Brian even pointed out that George wouldn't have had the motivation to become successful if it wasn't for him, and that is revenge in itself.
13* SeriesContinuityError: In this episode, Brian is getting neutered. However, in "Blind Ambition", he already received the operation (and earlier in "[[Recap/FamilyGuyS3E13ScrewedThePooch Screwed the Pooch]]", he was about to get neutered under court order until he discovered that Seabreeze's puppies were sired by UsefulNotes/TedTurner). However, knowing this show, this may simply be a case of NegativeContinuity.
