Stewie B. Goode/Notes/Trivia

TV Edits/Alterations

The following items from the first third of Stewie Griffin: The Untold Story were not in the TV version of this episode:

• The special opening credits are replaced by the standard theme song.
• The red carpet premiere featured at the beginning of the DVD.
• The first few gags at the swimming pool were cut (Lois telling Chris how she went pro-choice after her pregnancy with Meg cost her the chance to be in the Olympics, Peter and Meg getting injured while trying to push Brian in the pool, and Quagmire and an unknown woman leaving a pump cabin after having oral sex inside [hence Quagmire’s “I guess I won’t be swimming for an hour” comment]), going straight to Peter trying to get Stewie to swim.
• Lois telling Peter that he never should have been replaced by John Goodman on Roseanne and the cutaway where Peter plays Dan in a scene from Roseanne.
• Stewie finishing shaving his “coin purse” and remarking that it bares an odd resemblance to Michael Chiklis. Also, the cut-away featuring an episode of The Shield with Chiklis and “Det. Scrotes” (Stewie’s testicles) is gone.
• Stewie saying grace at the dinner table and Peter bringing up his great aunt Ella Fitzgerald Griffin (and the cutaway where Ella Fitzgerald Griffin blinds Ray Charles while singing).
• The scene where Stewie and Brian play Pac-Man in the Drunken Clam and arguing over getting the fruit that’s near the ghost is cut on the FOX version (for time reasons, as opposed to content), but can be seen on the Adult Swim version.
• When Peter is describing a porn film to the worker at Lackluster Video, the phrase “stuff comes out” is cut.
• The scene where Stewie is naked and has “Property of Roger Moore” tattooed on his chest after his night out with Brian is replaced by Stewie wearing pajamas and finding a handkerchief with Roger Moore’s initials stitched on it.
• The cutaway where Ghandi performs stand-up comedy replaces the line “And the black people are all like ‘Hey bitch’...” with “And the Americans are all like ‘Hey bitch’...”

Notes

• The episode title is a parody of the title of the Chuck Berry song “Johnny B. Goode.”
• Mark Hoppus says the line, “You know what really grinds my gears?” as a reference to this episode on his podcast.
• The things that grind Peter’s gears are:

1. The part of the Bible that says you can’t watch pornography.
2. The sheer length of the Bible.
3. How people haven’t made a “Priest and a Rabbi” joke in years.
4. Lindsay Lohan, and women not wanting to have sex.
5. How he can’t find the droids he’s looking for. (The reference to Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope is further driven home by the fact that two stormtroopers are shown watching the program.)
6. That bread is square and bologna is round. This may be a reference to the movie This Is Spinal Tap.
7. Parents who let their kids do whatever they want (with Stewie performing a drunken dive onto his high chair).
8. Being interrupted.
9. X-ray glasses from comics that don’t work.
10. People in the 19th century.
11. America, which results in Peter saying “Fuck you!” (bleeped out).
