Untitled Griffin Family History/Notes/Trivia

Notes

• When discussing The Godfather, they’re actually talking about the entire Godfather Saga. Peter says that it is 6.5 hours long and Chris says that it has Robert de Niro, Robert Duvall, and Al Pacino in it, although de Niro was not in the original Godfather, only in The Godfather Part II.
• Peter Hitler calls Adolf/Addie a Motherführer, a pun on motherfucker. Führer means “leader” in German and was Hitler’s official title.
• A deleted scene that was kept intact on the DVD version is a scene in between the big bang scene and the caveman scene where the Griffins are portrayed as dinosaurs. The TV version only shows the gag where Peter describes evolution and, in accordance with the Kansas School Board, shows a creationist rendition of how life came to be on Earth where everything magically appears with the help of Jeannie from I Dream of Jeannie.
• In the Nate Griffin segment, Brian appears as a talking monkey, and Cleveland appears as a white slave trader. However Ollie Williams is still black.
• In the Nate Griffin segment, Nate Griffin does not speak with a Southern accent as he does in “Peter Griffin: Husband, Father...Brother?.”
• The main characters have very few lines in this episode. Stewie has as little as three lines, not counting black Stewie’s two lines.
• This episode marks the rare occurrence in which a main character, besides Brian, has understood what Stewie has said. When Peter mentions that he never liked the Godfather and never actually finished watching the film, Stewie questions this logic. Afterwards, Lois interjects with, “I agree with Stewie.” Rarely does a main character, especially a family member, acknowledge that they completely understood what Stewie says.
• When Peter refers to Hideki Tojo in the Hitler scene, he says “Look I’m Tojo, I am from Japan.” But the music he sings is not Japanese but Chinese, as he uses the Chinese gong sound.
• A deleted scene from the DVD shows Hitler telling Eva Braun that he is tired of Peter and wants him out. Peter Hitler plays with Hitler’s gun while asking why and accidentally shoots Adolf in the chest, then keeps playing with the gun and again accidentally shoots Eva Braun, killing her. He then plants the gun in Eva’s hand and runs away. This scene was kept when aired in New Zealand and Australia and also appears fully in the Region 1 & 4 release of season Four.
• Another deleted scene on the DVD (which was actually in the episode and cut for time on TV) showed “Black Eye” Griffin (the silent movie star) getting killed during a poker game.
• This is the fourth time Meg was mistaken for a boy. The first time was in “The Kiss Seen Around the World.”
• In the segment about Nate Griffin, the only characters who are the same race are Lois, her family, and Ollie Williams.
