1After setting up a cutaway together, Peter and Lois find themselves trapped in a cutaway gag.
2----
3!!Tropes:
4* AllJustADream: The entire episode is a [[AcidRefluxNightmare fever dream from Peter eating raw oysters and passing out]]. This receives exactly zero foreshadowing and we don't even see Peter wake up; Lois just exposits this on the beach to him after the commercial break ends.
5* AssholeVictim: Discussed between the family when they have to kill Hitler to escape Cutaway Land.
6--> '''Lois:''' I know he was bad and all, but do we really have the right to kill a fellow human being?
7--> '''Brian:''' ''Human being?'' It's '''''Hitler!'''''
8* BaitAndSwitch: After Brian is warped unwillingly into a cutaway with the others, he notes that they took him away while driving. The scene cuts to his electric car heading for some kids crossing the road...albeit at a safely slow speed with no one getting harmed, except the crossing guard who has an existential crisis from the car not stopping for his signal.
9* CallBack:
10** The "Das Gym" cutaway gag from "[[Recap/FamilyGuyS1E1DeathHasAShadow Death Has a Shadow]]" appears.
11** The "[[Recap/FamilyGuyS4E5TheClevelandLorettaQuagmire You Have AIDS]]" cutaway gag is mentioned and heard.
12** The overreacting waiter from "[[Recap/FamilyGuyS17E17IslandAdventure Island Adventure]]" returns as a crossing guard, overreacting to Brian's Prius when it couldn't stop.
13** When Peter calls Joe to try and figure out how to escape Cutawayland, [[Recap/FamilyGuyS13E11EncyclopediaGriffin he gets Joe's elaborate voicemail message]] for a bit until Joe picks up.
14** The Robert Loggia cutaway gag from "[[Recap/FamilyGuyS5E10PetersTwoDads Peter's Two Dads]]" appears.
15* DecapitationPresentation: While the family is debating who should go kill Hitler in the first cutaway Meg comes from off-screen having already done it, boasting with his severed head how he pleaded for his life.
16* OldShame: Peter says he regrets making "You Have AIDS".
17* RunningGag: When Peter and Lois explain the rules of [=CutawayLand=], they are constantly interrupted by "Technical Difficulties" screens.
18* StylisticSelfParody: At the beach, Peter flashbacks to one of his and Lois' makeout sessions, pointing out it was the first time he noticed she didn't have an ear; this is illustrated by brushing back her hair to show the earring is attached to nothing.
19* TakeThat: Against viewers who complain about the main plot of the episodes and say they just want more cutaways.
20* ToiletHumor: This episode features Peter and Lois watching ''WesternAnimation/WreckItRalph 3: Ralph Breaks the Toilet''. What follows is a scene where Ralph leaves the men's restroom. VideoGame/PacMan walks in, then walks back out in disgust before dying.
