I mean, what happens, I unload a whole batch of these little reproductive things into your, uh, ya know, miracle bucket, and 9 months later, Milt comes out, ya know? I mean, for me it's ...

Crazy Credits

During the credits is a series of additional scenes, including: Congressman, Newt Gingrich doing a press conference, and Larry walks up to him and lifts up the politicians wig and reveals a mini-bar. He helps himself to a drink and walks back to the podium and asks "Do you have anything besides schlitz?" A scene of Larry (continuing the joke of him never farting until he was 30) hiding behind a couch when he passes gas. Then he farts again, not knowing what it was he fires a machine gun wildly at nothing. A live-action scene with creator/host Seth MacFarlane notices his Chinese butler, Wang, is still in the house. So Seth says to him "Wang, go home for Christ's sake."
