YMMV / Family Guy S 5 E 18 Meet The Quagmires

• Harsher in Hindsight:
  • The episode predicted Mike Wallace's death in 2012 and Justice Antonin Scalia's death in 2016.
  • Horace is knocked out after he falls off a ladder to fix the TV, with one person fearing he might be dead, but Death shows up and tells them it's just a false alarm. In "Save The Clam", Horace dies in a freak accident during a softball game.
• Hilarious in Hindsight
  • In this Alternate Timeline, President Al Gore managed to hunt down and kill Osama bin Laden with his bare hands. Now, years later, he would be found and killed again in real life. A bonus point includes the administration who oversaw the final mission against Osama Bin Laden happened to share the same party as Al Gore.
  • Brian gives a performance of "Never Gonna Give You Up" in place of the original Back to the Future's "Johnny D. Goode". The original Rickroll had already been circulating 4chan for at least a couple of months by the episode's release, but it still wasn't a well known phenomenon, and the episode had been in production for much longer. The Family Guy writers were merely making fun of the song for being a mediocre 80s chart-topper, yet they happened to do so just before an internet meme would cement the song in popular culture.
