(edit)
Liddane: Hi, gorgeous man!
Stewie: Oh, you! Must I lock up your tongue with the rest of the silver? (edit) Lois: I never thought finding a babysitter would be so hard.
Stewie: Yes, a shame you weren't more discerning when you picked that happening Bruce Jenner hairdo. (edit) Stewie: (in chair being told about babysitter) Yes! I'm going to wow her tonight Rupert, I'm going to be cooler than Brian when he hangs out at the bowling alley.
Brian: That's what I love about high school girls... I keep geting older, they stay the same age, hehehe, yes they do, yes they do.... (edit) Cecilia: Neil is such an amazing guy. We just make an absolutely perfect couple.
Meg: You know...Neil liked me first and I was gonna go out with him when I was ready to settle for him. Get your own spaz! (edit) Quagmire: Hey Peter, uhh you have a card for if you transfered V.D. to somebody.
Peter: Uhh lets see here...uhh yep, "Sorry I accidentally gave you V.D."
Quagmire: Huh, that's all you have is accidental huh? All right I'll take it. (edit)

Stewie claims not to know if Meg has her own bedroom, yet a minute later he tells her he spits in her mouth while she sleeps. So he would have had to have already known that she had a bedroom to do that.
(edit)
When Meg goes to "Everybody Loves Raymond", Ray calls his wife Patty, instead of Debra. Patty is the name of the actress who plays Debra.
(edit)
Peter: Here, take a Far Side one.
The Far Side is a comic strip created by Gary Larson that ran in newspapers from 1980 to 1995. (edit) The scene where Brian is hanging outside the bowling alley is a reference to the 1993 movie Dazed and Confused by Richard Linklater. Brian is impersonating David Wooderson (played in the movie by Matthew McConaughey). (edit) The breakfast machine was a gag on "Pee-Wee's Big Adventure", the full-length film of "Pee-Wee's Playhouse", at the part where a breakfast machine makes him a smiley-faced Eggs and Bacon dish, though, of course, there was no 9 mm involved. This sort of device is also known as a Rube Goldberg machine. (edit) Kramer vs Predator

This is actually two references together. Kramer vs. Kramer was a groundbreaking film in 1979 about two people getting a divorce. Alien vs. Predator was a movie in 2004 that broke no ground. Unless you consider that it took place underground. (edit)
Kirk CameronKirk Cameron appeared on TV's Growing Pains and had other small roles thereafter. (edit)
