A Hero Sits Next Door - S1-E5

Trivia: Upon seeing Joe is handicapped, Peter exclaims "holy crip, he's a crapple." Such an error in speech, in which vowels or consonants in a word are switched around (i.e. He meant "Holy Crap, he's a cripple"), is called a spoonerism; somewhat appropriately, the Griffins and their neighbors live on Spooner Street.

Blue Harvest - S6-E1

Trivia: The joke about Harrison Ford being the only actor whose career wasn't destroyed by Star Wars reportedly offended Mark Hamill. After the trilogy's success, Hamill became famous as a voice actor, playing the Green Goblin on "Spider-Man" and, more prominently, the Joker on various animated "Batman" series.
