                • Trivia
                  When Peter is threatening to fire Lois, he asks her if the name Lacey Chabert means anything to her. Lacey Chabert was the original actress who played Meg in the series, the implication being if the show could fire her, they could fire Alex Borstein, who plays Lois. In real life however, Lacey Chabert chose to leave Family Guy and was not fired.
                • Goofs
                  During the Jerry Lewis musical parody, Peter's cigar remains the same length throughout even though he was smoking it and occasionally knocking ashes to the floor.
                • Quotes

                  Sheldon Cooper: I'll have you know that I can bench press over 690 billion nano-grams.

                  Leonard Hofstadter: Sheldon, that's less than two pounds.

                  Sheldon Cooper: Sounded better the way I said it.
