Deep Throats/Notes/Trivia

Notes

• The scene where Cleveland gives Brian the finger remains uncensored, due to a negotiation FOX had with broadcast standards
• The vaudeville duo from several other episodes reappears during the talent show.
• According to the DVD commentary, Seth MacFarlane deliberately told their broadcast standards to air the scene of Cleveland flipping Brian off after Brian doesn’t stop for him in his taxi as a diversion from the subplot about Lois and Peter doing drugs.
• This episode features the second (rare) instance of Mayor West’s eccentricity being justified (when he attacks the Domino’s Pizza Noid for trying to ruin his pizza). See “I Take Thee Quagmire.”
• On the DVD commentary, Mila Kunis accidentally mentions the plot of a future episode (“Barely Legal”) when the only other “love story” episode she could remember having more than one line in “was when Meg went crazy.”

• This is the second time Lois is seen completely naked on sceen. First time was in From Method to Madness

DVD Exclusive Scenes

• A deleted scene on the DVD version of the episode shows more of Brian and Stewie driving the taxi to meet Kermit the Frog. In the scene, Cleveland tries to hail a cab again, but when he is ignored by Brian again, he throws yet another shoe at the cab, yelling, “Oh there you are, you honky son of a bitch!”
• A scene where Brian and Stewie walk to Mayor West’s office and find the Scooby Doo gang (Fred, Daphne, Velma, Shaggy, and Scooby), with Stewie humming the famous “walking” music on Scooby Doo to get them to leave.
• The cutaway of Peter singing “Ding, Fries Are Done” has two more verses on the DVD version, which were cut on TV due to time constraints.

Censorship

• The scene where Lois and Peter are naked and high while on the couch was shown differently on the FOX version. The FOX version showed Lois and Peter wearing underwear while on the couch (instead of being completely naked, despite Stewie’s line near the end of the scene where he states that Peter and Lois are nude) and the entire part where Lois whispers to Brian, “Hey, he’s knocking on the back door. Should I let him in? I’m a-scared!”, with Brian totally bewildered about her statement was cut. Adult Swim shows the original version where Peter and Lois are naked and the original version can be seen on the DVD.
• According to DVD commentary, Peter and Lois’s band, “Handful of Peter,” was originally supposed to be called “Mouthful of Peter,” but the censors objected. Also, one of the lines in the “In God’s Eyes” song was changed from “He’d do her from behind/Even go a second time” to “He’d do her all the way/Even call her the next day/Just to see how work was going.”
