  • Notes

    ADD NOTES
    • According to the DVD when Alex Borstein first did Loretta's voice she hated it and didn't realise she would have to keep doing so asked for Loretta to be written out of the show
    • Some FOX affiliates bleeped out the word "nuts" at the end of the episode. Some other affiliates instead bleeped out "kicked". Adult Swim,however, did not bleep anything.

  • Allusions

    ADD ALLUSIONS
    • John Edward: Lois references this psychic, who claims to be able to speak to the dead. His readings often begin as him "receiving" letters referring to dead relatives. Critics have alleged that he engages in cold reading.
    • Natalie Wood: Peter's guess at charades references this actress who died at age 43 when she fell off of a boat and drowned.
    • Johnny Tremain Peter reads this Ester Forbes book while he is intoxicated at the library.
    • Darren: The power of Christ compels you, bitch! This is a twisted take on a line from the movie The Exocist.
    • Lassie Peter trying to decipher what Brian is telling him (even though Brian is speaking clearly) is a take-off from the Lassie movies and tv series.
    • Quagmire's "My Fellow Americans" flashback is obviously an allusion to the infamous Monica Lewinsky scandal, which involved Bill Clinton having sexual relations with his intern. Quagmire even looks like President Clinton in this scene.
    • Popeye The part when Cleveland finally learns to get angry at Lorettas infidelity (and blows steam from his ears) is an obvious reference to the old Popeye cartoons, when Popeye ate his tin of spinach.
    • Kicked in the Nuts! Mike and Patrick Henry's highly popular internet series from 2003, Kicked in the Nuts! involved Mike Henry dressing up in an orange wig, pretending to kick actors in the nuts as a parody of hidden camera shows.
    • Transformers

      The transition where Peter and Brian head over to Quagmire's house and the picture of Peter's head swaps with that of Glen's is a rip-off from the show Transformers. The music used from the transition is also taken from the show.

    • Rocky This episode has three allusions to the Rocky films. The first is when Cleveland is doing pull-ups in the front doorway of the Griffin home and a character resembling Mickey is seen to Cleveland's right. The second is at the very end of the episode when Quagmire and Cleveland are starting a friendly boxing match. Quagmire even calls Cleveland "Apollo." The third is when the song "Eye of the Tiger" by Survivor is played just before the closing credits; that song was played in "Rocky III" and "Rocky "IV".
    • Bewitched

      Bewitched - A popular television show running from 1964 - 1972 featured a witch (Samantha) married to a mortal man (Darrin). Samantha's mother (Endora) was never fond of Darrin and often made him the brunt of all of her schemes and jokes. FG clearly takes it to the next level giving Darrin his revenge.

    • Star Wars: Return of the Jedi The man who tells Cleveland to feel his hate and anger and encourages him to beat up Quagmire is based on The Emperor from Star Wars who encourages Luke to turn to the dark side. This is the third consecutively aired episode in a row to feature an allusion to the Star Wars franchise.
    • Saturday Night Live

      At one point, Cleveland and Quagmire show up in weird outfits complete with plaid pants. In a foriegn accent Quagmire says, "We're a couple of wild and crazy guys." Then Peter walks in with a cone shaped head and an alien space suit. This is a direct copy of SNL skits by Steve Martin (Wild and Crazy Guys) and Dan Ankroyd (Both.)
