Censorship
The following scenes have been cut and/or altered when shown on FOX, but restored on Adult Swim:
- When Stewie presents Brian his “polished turd for the evening” (Meg in a nice dress), Stewie says in the FOX version, “FYI, the carpet matches the curtains, in color and length,” before it cuts to the outside shot of the school. On Adult Swim, Stewie’s line was, “FYI, the carpet matches the curtains, in color and quantity,” and adds, “You ever see a blacksmith’s apron?” before the scene cuts to the outside of the school.
- After the scene of Peter giving Quagmire a cavity search, there is an extra scene on Adult Swim and the DVD version where Peter, Quagmire, Mort, and Cleveland are in a room, each drinking from a cup. Joe (on the other side of the room, separated by plexiglass), explains that the four are part of a test to see if they can identify traces of PCP in the coffee they’re drinking. This causes Peter, Cleveland, and Mort to become paranoid over who drank the PCP and accuse each other of freaking out, but the real culprit turns out to be Quagmire when he wonders why his arm has so much skin on it and rips it off without feeling any pain.
- In the scene where the guys are sitting in Peter's living room after becoming cops, and Joe is looking out the window, allegedly watching his wife Bonnie undress (he says he likes to imagine she is a strange woman who lives in his house), it would be physically impossible (without mirrors) for Joe to watch Bonnie undress from Peter's front window, being that Joe and Bonnie live next door to Peter, not across the street.
- In the scene where Brian tries to bail out of spending the day with Meg, he says he’s going to do whatever Chris does on a Thursday afternoon, which is masturbate. Brian’s line after Chris says “masturbate” in the Adult Swim version is “Masturbate. We’re going to masturbate together.” The FOX version only has one mention of the word “masturbate” and changes Brian’s line to “Yeah, that’s it. That’s what we’re going to do together,” to edit out the extra mentions of the word.
- When Brian drunkenly stands up to Connie D’Amico for making fun of Meg, he states that the reason Connie is so insecure is because she developed early and in the FOX version, “started putting out for guys when she was 12.” On Adult Swim, Brian states that Connie developed early and started “giving handjobs when she was 12.”
- When Brian tries to explain to Lois why Meg is acting weird around him (and ends up getting punched by Lois), Brian says in the FOX version that Meg made him eat “the hair in her pie” (referring to the pie that Meg put her hair in so Brian will have a piece of her inside him). The Adult Swim version uses the more vulgar expression “hair pie,” which implies that Brian had oral sex with Meg (the FOX edit implies this, too, but it’s less explicit).
- When Peter and his buddies catch Meg seducing the captured Brian, Peter tells Brian that what he’s doing to Meg is worse than what Mia Farrow did to that Oriental guy that Woody Allen brought home from the circus. On Adult Swim, the racial slur “Chinaman” was used instead of “Oriental guy.”
Notes
- Meg is the fourth family member that Brian has kissed. The first was Peter (“Brian: Portrait of a Dog”) (even though it was on the cheek), the second was Stewie (“Peter Griffin: Husband, Father...Brother?”, “Deep Throats” and “Saving Private Brian”) and the third was Lois (“The Perfect Castaway”) (even though it was on the cheek, as well).
- This was the second time that somebody whom Meg has asked out has made a personal sacrifice in order to get out of it. The first time, the guy (presumably the same guy in both episodes) shoots himself in the chest with a nail gun and tells Meg that he will be in the hospital and can't make it.
- Mila Kunis was nominated for a 2007 Annie Award for her performance as Meg in this episode, but lost to Eartha Kitt (died at age 81 on December 25, 2008) for "The Emperor's New School".
- There's a major issue here, when Brian is getting ready to go to the dance, Lois puts weed in Brian's pocket. But later, she is angry because Brian got drunk. She should have known that Brian was going to have some sort of impaired judgment and should not have reacted that way.
