6	When Lois' Aunt Marguerite dies, she leaves Lois her summer home, Cherrywood Manor, giving The Griffins a taste of the wealthy life (which Lois wanted to leave behind because of how elitist everyone is).
7	----
8	!!This episode contains examples of:
9	* BadBoss:
10	** It's implied that Marguerite was a nasty person in general, and not just to Peter. One of the maids referred to her as "the old bag."
11	** Stewie becomes one to the mansion staff, making two fight to to death and threatening one just because Stewie ordered him to cut milk and he pointed out it was liquid.
12	* BigFancyHouse: Cherrywood Manor.
13	* BlatantLies: Peter's attempts to pass Cherrywood Manor as a historical site. The most blatant of them is trying to convince someone that Jesus was there ''before'' his own birth.
14	* {{Bowdlerise}}:
15	** On Channel 4 in the UK, Peter's line about Cherrywood Manor being the first Presidential whorehouse was cut to remove the picture of Abraham Lincoln photographed with a prostitute with his stovepipe hat covering his erection.
16	** Also edited on Channel 4 (and the free-TV American syndicated version) is the cutaway of Peter being sworn into court and replying, "I do, you bastard." The edited version cuts it down to "I do," which ruins Peter's line[[note]]though this also makes it a StealthPun, showing that the only time it's okay to swear is if you're going on the witness stand in court[[/note]].
17	* TheDreaded: Aunt Marguerite to Peter at least. Lois attempts desperately to keep her upcoming visit a secret.
18	* EstablishingCharacterMoment: Carter shows his hatred of Peter when he ''kicks him into a fireplace'' and beats him with a log.
19	* AFoolAndHisNewMoneyAreSoonParted: Peter spending $100 million on a vase.
20	* FreudianSlip: In a flashback to when Peter first met Lois:
21	--> '''Peter''': (to Lois) Hi, my name is towel. I have a Peter for you. I mean, my name is Peter. I'll be your nipples. Towel boy! Oh, jeez.
22	* TheFunInFuneral: At Aunt Marguerite's funeral, when Peter learns she left her a vast inheritance, he starts ''dancing with the corpse''. The funniest part of this is when everybody stares in horror at what Peter's doing. His attempt at getting out of this is to drop the corpse and say "Oh my God. She's dead."
23	* FunnyBackgroundEvent: When Peter loudly tells a story in a fancy restaurant about his buddy's sister's boss who was drinking with a hooker in a Vegas bar and woke up without his kidneys, a man in the background is disgusted and vomits.
24	* GagPenis: Peter mentions that their old home had "the little man with a penis for the light switch".
25	* {{Gasshole}}: Peter's verses in "This House Is Freakin' Sweet" are:
26	--> '''Peter''': Used to pass, lots of gas / Lois ran awaaaaay / Now we've got, thirty rooms! / Hello beans, goodbye spray!
27	* GoldDigger:
28	** Meg says that now that she lives in the mansion, she's going to bag a rich husband. Lois admonishes her.
29	** Lampshaded and discussed in the song sequence, the servants comment on how [[TheMakeover they'll "do the best we can with Meg"]], with Meg asking "Are you saying I'm ugly?" and a maid answering "It doesn't matter dear, you're rich now!"
30	* HappyDance: Lois' (insanely rich) aunt dies, and when he finds out they were left something in her will, Peter ''pulls her corpse out of the casket'' and ballrooms with it.
31	* KilroyWasHere: "Jesus was here". Peter gave the message a ''before'' Christ date.
32	* MaliciousMisnaming: Peter calls Lois's snotty friend Coco (after she insulted him), "[=CaCa=]", a slang term for poop.
33	* NiceToTheWaiter: A teenage Lois was shown as concerned for towel boy Peter without even knowing him. Marguerite saw him as nothing, and her own servants referred to her as an old bag. In the present, Stewie falls under the "evil" side of this trope, to the point of having two of the mansion staff fight to the death.
34	* NoSocialSkills: Peter is portrayed as this.
35	--> '''Peter''': Teach me how to be a gentleman.\
36	'''Brian''': Peter, it's not really that hard. Let's start with polite conversation. For example, "It's a pleasure to see you again. Lovely weather we're having." Now you try.\
37	'''Peter''': "It's a pleasure to see you again. After ''Series/HogansHeroes'', Bob Crane got his skull crushed in by a friend who videotaped him having rough sex." How's that?\
38	'''Brian''': [[SarcasmMode Wow, perfect. My work is done. But just for the heck of it, let's try again]].
39	* ObnoxiousInLaws: The entire Pewterschmidt family loathes Peter because he isn't wealthy and elegant (par Lois who loves him because).
40	* ShoutOut:
41	** The episode title comes from the nursery rhyme "Peter, Peter, Pumpkin Eater." Note how the second line is "[[UnableToSupportAWife Had a wife, but couldn't keep her]]."
42	** When Peter and Lois are about to be given Marguerite's will, Peter says, "What did we get? [[Series/PressYourLuck Come on, big money! No whammy! Stop!]]"
43	** While exploring the mansion, Stewie comes across twins, [[Film/TheShining who want him to play with them forever and ever.]]
44	** During the auction, Peter bids [[Film/AustinPowers "$100 million" and holds his pinky up to his mouth.]]
45	** Brian says "[[Film/TheEmpireStrikesBack "I am your father!]]" to Peter.
46	** Another way Peter tries to prove the manor is a historical site: "Wait, look, this is where the pilgrims landed at Series/FraggleRock."
47	* SongParody: "This House Is Freakin' Sweet", a soundalike of "I Think I'm Gonna Like it Here" from ''[[Film/{{Annie1982}} Annie]]''. According to the official commentary, they originally planned on directly parodying the song until writer David Zuckerman insisted "If we do a soundalike, we can get nominated for [[UsefulNotes/EmmyAward an Emmy]]." He was correct, as the song was nominated for Outstanding Original Music and Lyrics in 2000 (it lost to [[Creator/{{Nickelodeon}} Nickellennium's]] "Up To You").
48	* SpitefulWill: Aunt Marguerite makes sure to get one final insult at Peter in her [[VideoWills Video Will]].
49	-->'''Aunt Margarite:''' Lois, you were always my favorite niece; I just knew you would find a wonderful man who would make all your dreams come true. [[BaitAndSwitchComment But I was wrong.]]\
50	'''Peter:''' ''[watching present day]'' And now you're dead. Score one for Peter.
51	* SpoiledBrat: One of the wealthy socialites is portrayed this way:
52	--> '''Man''': Coco, the day I graduate from Harvard, I'm gonna carry you off into the sunset on a white horse.\
53	'''Coco''': It better be a stretch horse with leather seats and a chauffeur.\
54	'''Man''': (to Lois) Isn't she a bit of terrific?
55	* StockLegalPhrases: Peter tells Lois that sometimes it's appropriate to swear. The cutaway is Peter on the witness stand:
56	--> '''Cop''': Do you swear to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, so help you God?\
57	'''Peter''': I do... [[DoubleSubversion you bastard]].
58	* UnableToSupportAWife: Downplayed; The majority of the episode is about Peter coming to terms with being ill-equipped to give Lois the same comfortable life as everyone else in Newport.
59	* UnexpectedInheritance: It's only after Marguerite Pewterschmidt dies that Lois and Peter learn she left them an inheritance.
60	* VideoWills: Marguerite Pewterschmidt leaves one to Lois, done in the style of ''Series/LifestylesOfTheRichAndFamous''. It's even narrated by Robin Leech.
