He's Too Sexy for His Fat - S2-E17

Trivia: In the shot of the Quahog Pest Control building you see a blue termite (Nibbles Woodaway) on the building. New England Pest Control in Providence, Rhode Island has the same bug on top of its building.

Death Is a Bitch - S2-E6

Trivia: During the scene with Hitler's talk show, when Hitler starts to say the show's phone number and starts shouting in German, it translates into "You're going to need a nurse".

Death Is a Bitch - S2-E6

Trivia: When Stewie is riding his tricycle and knocks Lois down the stairs, it is similar to the Omen when Damien uses his tricycle to knock his mom down.

Fifteen Minutes of Shame - S2-E12

Trivia: When all the family have been replaced by actors in this episode, the actors are re-enacting the very first episode of Family Guy where Peter gets drunk and the family are eating their breakfast while Peter is lying on the table.

Kara

The King Is Dead - S2-E7

Trivia: When the Griffins are in the theater, in a few shots you can see the person sitting next to Meg. This is only interesting because he is killed by her in another episode.

DaBoom - S2-E3

Trivia: The ending live-action scene with Victoria Principal and Patrick Duffy spoofs the ending of Dallas' seventh season: an infamous retcon which, for the most part, voided a whole season of the show, in which Duffy's character was killed.

Cubs Fan

Wasted Talent - S2-E20

Trivia: At the end of the episode, Peter shows he has one brain cell left. Inside his head, it shows the brain cell alone with glasses and saying he has time to read his books before leaning over. The glasses fall off and break, where he starts to cry that he had time to read them now but can't. This is a direct reference to this same thing happening in the 8th episode of season 1 of Twilight Zone where the last man alive breaks his glasses before he can read all the books he wants. (00:21:31)

Quantom X

Running Mates - S2-E10

Trivia: As Peter conducts a tour of reporters around the school, they come upon a scene in the hallway. He introduces the Hall Monitor X-L-K. It requests a hall pass from a girl, fails to recognize the pass, makes a second request, fails to see the pass, and opens fire, chasing the girl back to class. This scene was borrowed from Robocop (1987) when ED-209 was introduced, and had the same type of malfunction.

Movie Nut

Road to Germany - S7-E3

Continuity mistake: After getting the uranium, Stewie places it in the time pad and then puts the pad in his jacket pocket. After being confronted by Hitler who promises to spare them if they sing a musical number, Mort interrupts them, and it's seen that he is now standing on the time pad.

Brian Sings & Swings - S4-E19

Question: In this episode Meg pretends to be a lesbian, when she calls herself a 'mega lesbian' it shows four other 'mega lesbians' singing something on deep voices. What song are they singing? Is it a real song?

strikeand

Chosen answer: It's a real song called "Elvira". Originally by Dallas Fraizer in '66, however, this version seems to be the Oak Ridge Boys cover version. However, the mega lesbians skip the verse and just sing the chorus after the opening line.
