2* AccidentalAesop: Don’t try too hard to make someone like you. It would just end in you getting your feelings hurt.
3* BrokenBase: Quagmire's rant towards Brian. [[TakeThatScrappy A perfect summation of everything wrong with the character]], or is it filled with logical flaws and hypocrisy, considering that Brian has done good in past episodes and Quagmire is just as, if not more depraved than Brian is? And is incorporating Brian's unpopularity into the story a good bit of self-aware humor, or just [[AtLeastIAdmitIt a lazy excuse to not write the character better]]? Many have stated that while Quagmire wasn't wrong, it would have worked better had it been another character like Joe or Cleveland being the one to call Brian out.
4* CrossesTheLineTwice: The episode opens with Peter and his friends watching a ParodyCommercial about the Rat Pack singing [[ValuesDissonance offensive-sounding songs]] like "Drunk Old Injun," "Jewish Nose,"[[note]]which would have been offensive even by 1960s standards,[[/note]] "Chinaman's Chance," and "Hey There, Fruity." They all have lyrics so over-the-top offensive they can come off as hilarious, [[MexicansLoveSpeedyGonzales even for the people the Rat Pack supposedly made fun of]].
5* HarsherInHindsight: Upon its airing, a lot of fans who were getting sick of Brian were thrilled to see Quagmire put him in his place. However, once it became a running theme for Quagmire to take out his anger on Brian for any reason he could find, the scene became less cathartic and more like the start of Quagmire becoming just as unlikable.
6* JustHereForGodzilla: Despite introducing Jerome as a recurring character, many people see this (and remember it) only for Quagmire's rant against Brian.
7* SignatureScene: Quagmire's TheReasonYouSuckSpeech on Brian is one of the best-remembered scenes of the series.
8* TakeThatScrappy: For those who hate Brian, Quagmire laying into all of his negative traits was very satisfying.
