Question: "Now we just need the 50 bucks. Damn it, I knew I shouldn't have named that star for Mort. Ugh! Just give me the money." I didn't understand that joke - can someone please explain it to me?
Answer: There are companies in real life that will let you name stars after someone as a gift (although the star name won't go on any official government registry). You pay a company (in Peter's case for $50) for this privilege and they'll send that you information where the star is located. Mort is then looking at the star named after him. But it's as useless of a gift as you can imagine since it doesn't really mean anything and you can't do anything with it and Mort knows Peter spent money to do it. Mort would rather have had Peter just give him $50 cash as a gift. One could say it's a joke about the stereotype that Jews love money, but in this case a lot of people would rather have money over a useless gift.

Question: At the end of the episode we can hear a truck reversing with a signal beeping and drill whirring, gear grinding - what was going on with Joe and Bonnie?
Answer: It's just a joke about what an ordeal it is to move Joe around when he's not in his wheelchair.
Answer: It's an exaggeration of using electric sex toys because Joe can't have regular intercourse because he's numb from the waist down.
Answer: Joe and Bonnie are getting intimate here I believe. It's showing what an ordeal it is for Joe to have sex, since paraplegics basically can't.

Brian's Got a Brand New Bag - S8-E4
Question: "That's the number, Brian. Just dial 0 and read it to Sarah." I don't understand what's going on here and who is Sarah?
Answer: It's a joke about how Rita's so old the number on her bracelet wasn't a 7-digit number. In the early 20th century to place a call you could call "Central" and tell the operator "Murray Hill 4185" and she would connect you. Rita is telling Brian to call the operator (dial "0") and read "Murray Hill 4185" to Sarah, the operator.

Chick Cancer - S5-E7
Question: In this episode where Peter starts shooting the movie he says: Okay, now give him some peanut butter so we can make it look like he's talkin'. How is peanut butter going to help?
Answer: Because the peanut butter would get stuck to the roof of his mouth. Then as he's trying to lick the peanut butter off, he'd be constantly opening and closing his mouth.
Answer: There's an old show called Mr Ed about a talking horse. They used peanut butter in the horse's mouth.
Answer: If you've ever seen a dog eat peanut butter, you'd see how it looks like they are talking since it's so sticky.

Bango Was His Name, Oh! - S4-E29
Question: The scene where Brian was paying the bills then Brian says: It's at this, uh...It's at this girl's house. What does he mean by that?
Answer: He was saying he's paying the cable bill but Stewie said Peter pays the cable bill. Brian's reply is that the cable he's paying for is for a girl. It seems he's kind of embarrassed to say it and so it seems the bills he's paying aren't his but a girl he's dating (although somewhat implied that she's using him).

8 Simple Rules for Buying My Teenage Daughter - S4-E8
Question: When everyone was about to vomit, Brian asked Peter to hold his ears but why?
Answer: So he doesn't get vomit on them. It's a joke on how people with long hair would have someone hold their hair.
Answer: It's just a humorous riff on women who are about to vomit asking their companions to hold their hair.

Question: When Meg came back home to announce that she's a flag girl Stewie replies by saying "now you can be somewhere else when the boys don't call." I don't get it - can someone please explain it to me?
Answer: There is an old stereotype that people on the flag team, or (at some schools) the "color guard", were not good enough for the cheerleading team. "Losers", "dorks", etc. Meg thinks that joining the flag team has finally made her popular, but Brian and Stewie are aware of the stereotype. Stewie is saying that nothing much has changed; she simply has a new activity, where she will be the same "loser" type.

Answer: It was mainly done to intimidate Stewie and show Stewie how crazy he is and how tough he is. There's a similar scene from "Lethal Weapon" where Mr. Joshua puts his arm over a guy's lighter to intimidate him and show how he's impervious to pain.
