Prick Up Your Ears/Notes/Trivia

Notes

• The song played during the time where text messages are supposed to be entered in is the same as in the short “No Bones About It” in the episode “Family Guy Viewer Mail #1” where the Griffin family is in the mall.
• Jillian is Brian’s first girlfriend to appear in more than one episode.
• Ear Sex is called “aural sex,” which sounds like “oral sex”; which is generally the substitution for a sexual activity involving the mouth.
• After Peter and Lois have sex, he asks where she got a tatoo. Lois replies with "I don't know, meth is a hell of a drug." This is one of a few times during the series when Lois implies that she does/did drugs.

Censorship

The following scenes/lines were cut/altered for content on the FOX (and Canada’s Global) version, but left intact on Cartoon Network:

• The cutaway joke about the Asian woman causing a car crash because she didn’t use her turn signal was cut.
• The line after Brian complains that the jelly in his sandwich tastes funny originally had Peter say, “Yeah, it was on my penis.” The FOX version has “penis” changed to “crotch.”
• When Lois comes into the bedroom dressed as Grimace, Peter says that Grimace is Ronald McDonald’s “autistic” friend; the Cartoon Network and DVD versions use the original word “retarded.”
• The part where Peter has ear sex with Lois has two different scenes. The original version of the scene that aired on Cartoon Network has Lois turn the bedroom light back on only to find Peter’s crotch near her head, then knocking him to the bedroom floor. The FOX channel aired a censored version of that scene where the viewer only hears Lois complaining about Peter putting his penis in her ear before the lights go up and Peter ends up on the floor.
