Notes/Trivia
  • A rap version of the theme song performed by Peter is heard over the end credits.
  • Nate Griffin appears again in the episode “Untitled Griffin Family History.”
  • The Ferris Bueller’s Day Off parody segment of Stewie Griffin: The Untold Story was originally going to be placed in this episode, in the part where Stewie and the cheerleaders are in the cafeteria. (DVD commentary)
  • Many slaves in the US took the surnames of the family that owned them. Then, it is possible that the real family name of Peter is not Griffin, or it may have been that Nate Griffin did not take the Pewterschmidt name.
  • Peter demands to be called “Kichwa Tembo” (after he discovers that his black ancestor was owned by Lois’s father’s family). In Swahili, “Kichwa” means head and “Tembo” means elephant. Peter has literally renamed himself Head Elephant. Swahili is mainly spoken in Uganda, Kenya and Tanzania. However, Africans brought to the U.S. as slaves were almost all West Africans, and would certainly not have spoken Swahili. In any case, it is not expected that Peter would know this, and was just being ignorant.
  • It seems apparent that Nate Griffin is not an ancestor of Peter's, given the fact that as it was confirmed that Peter is descended from the McFinnigan family, not the Griffin family, due to his true father Mickey McFinnigan although it is not impossible for the McFinnegans to have branched off from the Griffins at some point in history meaning Peter could be both a Griffin and a McFinnegan.
