YMMV / Family Guy S 3 E 13 Screwed The Pooch

• Alternative Character Interpretation: While avoiding Brian, Peter traps himself in a glass container. He farts, and is unable to escape the smell, while Brian and Lois do nothing to help him. Were they too caught up in their conversation to notice, or do they know and feel this is what he deserves for being a grudge-holding jerk? Since Peter's rejection of Brian because of his own rejection by Carter was ridiculously petty even for him, the latter is not far-fetched.
• Crosses the Line Twice: Peter squeezing into a kangaroo's pouch and calling out to Lois that he's Roo. The kangaroo is in obvious pain lugging Peter around, but the image of a huge man pretending to be her baby is hilarious.
• Harsher in Hindsight: Peter has an Imagine Spot of what Brian will be like after his neutering, which depicts Brian eating chocolate (and saying that though it makes him fat, he can't help it because of how good it tastes), despite chocolate being toxic to dogs. A later episode would show a much more realistic deconstruction of this; Brian gorges himself on chocolate due to being lonely on Valentines Day, realizes his mistake too late, and has to be hospitalized.
• Hilarious in Hindsight:
  • After finding out Brian didn't impregnate Seabreeze, he says he was looking forward to being a dad. A later episode revealed he has a human son, and Brian was also briefly the father of several mutated babies.
  • One of Carter's gambling friends is Michael Eisner, the former CEO of Walt Disney. Nearly two decades later, Fox became property of Disney.
• Fridge Horror: When Brian has sex with Seabreeze, the Griffins and Carter are outright horrified, and they are in the top row. Just how many people, got to see that from the lowest deck of the race track, especially children? Also, given this presumably is some sort of professional event, just how many kids saw that on LIVE TV?!
  • While we are at, Carter specifically says that Brian is violating Seabreeze. You read that right: Brian technically committed rape. The fact that Seabreeze is not bothered at all and later elopes with him indicates that she may have enjoyed it, which is not family friendly. Of course Seabreeze is a canine so What Measure Is a Non-Human? may be in play here.
    • As Brian turned out not to be the father, she was likely raped by the actual father as well.
  • Also in addition to likely losing money from bets, just how many people would sue Carter for psychological damages to kids, and did the League, presuming that this is run by an official organization, fine Carter or did they ban Seabreeze from competing? Either way, the reason Carter is so angered is not just because Brian had sex with Seabreeze that caused her to lose the race, but also due to Carter likely having to pay millions in fines and damages from civil lawsuits. Can you hardly blame him?
