Stewie Griffin: The Untold Story is a direct-to-DVD animated film set in Family Guy's fictional universe. Released on September 27, 2005, the movie is mostly about Stewie Griffin trying to find his real father. It additionally contains commentaries and deleted scenes. The movie is also available in UMD format for the PlayStation Portable.

The movie was originally written to be a 'straight to video' movie in three episode length segments. The three segments, written by different people, are titled "Stewie B. Goode," "Bango Was His Name Oh!" and "Stu and Stewie's Excellent Adventure."

FOX aired the edited and separated versions of the three segments on May 21, 2006. It also had several scenes cut out to make it more appropriate for television.

Plot synopsis


Forced by Peter and Lois to take swimming lessons, Stewie meets the star pupil of the class, Brad. Jealous, Stewie decides to try and outdo him in a swimming race. He nearly drowns in the process, while Brad finishes in first place. Trying to kill his nemesis, Stewie rigs a life-guard chair with dynamite and lures Brad beneath it. However, Stewie's detonator malfunctions, and he blows himself up and is crushed beneath the lifeguard chair. Stewie awakens in "Hell", a red hotel room with a small television and a sign on the headboard of the bed saying "Welcome to Hell", where he is greeted by Steve Allen, who proclaims, "Okay, let's do this," and begins to get undressed. Stewie is abruptly brought back to Earth by Lois, and he decides to change his ways. As it turns out, Steve Allen wanted Stewie to fix his shirt collar. Instead, Allen is forced to watch non-stop reruns of Who's the Boss?

Stewie's attempts at being a good boy mainly revolve around smothering Brian with affection, much to the latter's consternation. Brian finally goads Stewie into reverting to his old, violent ways, resurrecting Stewie's fear of "Hell". Deciding to follow Brian's example of controlling anger through drunkenness, Stewie becomes an alcoholic; Brian, seeking to cure Stewie, takes him out for a night of drinking at the Drunken Clam, which culminates in the two ramming a car through the wall of the bar. The next morning, Stewie wakes up naked in his crib with a hangover, apparently having blacked out and given Roger Moore his phone number the night before. Stewie laments to Brian his lonely existence in the world, and wishes that there were someone else to whom he could relate. Later, while watching television, Brian and Stewie see a man in the street interview with a San Francisco man who looks and sounds exactly like Stewie. Stewie decides that this is his real father, and resolves to travel to San Francisco to meet with him.

Learning that Quagmire is going on a "Cross Cuntry" trip through all fifty states with the intent of having sex with a woman in every state, Brian and Stewie hitch a ride in his "Wanna-bang-o". At a motel, Quagmire is handcuffed to a bed and mugged by a cleaning woman; Stewie finds Quagmire, and rather than free him, steals Quagmire's car keys and absconds with the Winnebago. At a truck stop, Stewie obtains amphetamines, takes them, and ends up crashing the Winnebago in the desert. He considers giving up, but Brian encourages him to see his quest through to the end.

Meanwhile, in the B plot, Peter and Lois decide to encourage their older children to date, in a series of short sequences that count among the most uncomfortable in the history of the series.

Arriving in California, Stewie and Brian track down the man from the television. Stewie confronts the man on a trolley, and is shocked to discover that the man is actually Stewie from thirty-four years in the future. "Stu," as he is called, is taking a time-travel vacation, which is how people in the future take time off. Stu activates a time-travel device to go back to his own time and prevent Stewie from learning information he shouldn't know, but Stewie grabs onto Stu at the last minute and is transported to the future with him. (In the future, Stu refers to the younger Stewie as a child named "Pablo" from Nicaragua while around other people before Lois reveals her knowledge of who "Pablo" really is.) Here, Stewie learns his horrible fate: at age 35, he will be a virgin working for the Quahog Circuit Shack (a Circuit City-type store) and living in a low-rent condo. Furthermore, he is a doting mama's boy, having long ago abandoned his matricidal tendencies. At a family dinner, Stewie discovers that Chris will become a traffic cop and marry a hateful, foul-mouthed hustler named Vanessa who successfully insists on putting Peter and Lois into a retirement home; Meg will transition from female to male after college and lives as a transsexual man named Ron; and Brian will die of eating chocolate he found in the garbage, go to Heaven, and spend eternity drinking with Ernest Hemingway, Vincent van Gogh, and Kurt Cobain. Disgusted with the way his life will turn out, Stewie remodels Stu's apartment and coaches him through The Joy of Sex with the intent of getting Stu to lose his virginity to a female co-worker named Fran. Stu and Fran end up in bed, after which Stu starts talking and says, "That has never happened to me before" and Fran asks, "Which part, the eight seconds of sex or the 40 minutes of crying?" Fran goes back to Circuit Shack and tells everyone, costing Stu his job.

His life now ruined, Stu laments the day he was crushed by the lifeguard chair. Stewie asks him to elaborate, and Stu reveals that memories of the experience will re-surface when Stewie is twenty, causing him to regress and preventing him from taking any risks. Armed with this knowledge, Stewie travels back in time to the day of the accident (with a brief stop to kill Vanessa with an RPG-7 on her and Chris' wedding day, at Lois' request), where he prevents himself from getting crushed by the chair; but before Stewie can tell himself any of the information he's learned about his future, the "old" Stewie produces a laser gun and vaporizes him because he couldn't answer a question that he wanted to know (Stewie also asked this question to Stu earlier).

The family packs up and heads home, with Meg bidding farewell to a boy to whom she's been talking, considering how much she likes his name: Ron.

Content


Although the scriptwriters were given much more leeway with the film (since it would be unrated and released to video), the film doesn't feature any content—nudity, sex, violence, etc.—as advertised which would normally be censored were it to be aired in prime time. The main exception is profanity, with the word fuck being spoken fourteen times: twice by Lois, once by Peter, twice by Stewie, twice by Cleveland Brown, and seven times by Vanessa, who speaks it almost in every sentence. It also uses the word shit twice, once by Vanessa, and once by Cleveland (who actually used "bullshit"). The DVD and UMD contain a "censor" option (a default setting), which inserts a bleep every time those words are spoken, essentially rendering the film with the same content as would be found in a regular episode of Family Guy. The censor option is also available on Volume Three of the Family Guy DVD series.

Televised version


The three episodes that make up the movie aired on FOX on May 21, 2006. As foretold in the DVD's audio commentary, several scenes were heavily edited for the television broadcast:

  • The red carpet premiere featured at the beginning of the DVD, the intermission between "And Bango Was His Name-O" and "Stu and Stewie's Excellent Adventure", and the after-party material were made especially for the DVD.
  • The opening credits, of course, are replaced by the standard theme song and are shown at the beginning of each part. Each part is closed by the end credits.
  • The first few gags at the swimming pool were cut, going straight to Peter trying to get Stewie to swim.
  • Lois telling Peter that "they never should've replaced * on Roseanne" and the cut-away that follows.
  • Stewie finishing shaving his "coin purse" and remarking that it bears an odd resemblance to Michael Chiklis.
  • Stewie saying grace at the dinner table and Peter bringing up his great aunt Ella Fitzgerald Griffin.
  • Brian and Stewie playing Pac-Man at The Drunken Clam.
  • Stewie wondering if there's someone exactly like him, and then the cut-away to Stu over in San Francisco.
  • On the DVD, the cut-scene in which Gandhi is in a comedy club, Gandhi says "... and the Blacks are like 'Hey Bitch!'" In the televised version, Blacks is changed to Americans.
  • The scene showing "Property of Roger Moore" written on Stewie was cut. However, Roger Moore's scene was not cut, and a minor animation was added to mention him. Right before he shows up, Stewie takes a cloth he found with the initials "R.M.", and Stewie's additional line is "Although I can't help wondering who 'R.M.' is..."
  • Quagmire, tied to the bed, dialing with his penis; in time porn comes on TV.
  • Brian and Stewie arriving in San Francisco, along with Stewie's Thundercats cut-away.
  • Peter watching Britney Spears' comeback concert.
  • Chris, as a police officer, giving Lois a list of violations he was going to turn her in for if she didn't give him a cookie.
  • Peter recalling the time he was stranded on a desert island with Bono.
  • Stu showing Stewie his prom photo.
  • Vanessa's line, "Ah, screw *. That fuckin' kid's from Guam!"
  • Peter and Lois watching Law & Order P.C.A.M.P.I.E.O.F.T.D: Petty Crimes Against Municipal Property in Excess of Five Thousand Dollars
  • Stewie's line "You're humping Fran" was changed to "You're nailing Fran."
  • Stewie's lesson of "put it in, take it out" was shortened and edited to "and in, and out."
  • Fran's off-camera action of "putting on my diaphragm" was changed to "getting my diaphragm." After that, Stewie told Stu to "insert your pen-is" (instead of "your phallus") "into her vag-in-a."
  • Stewie remarking that Stu being fired is "almost as bad as when Peter got fired as the first director of Terms of Endearment."
  • Stewie remembering when Peter got Lois a Galaga arcade cabinet for Christmas.
  • Sound effects were added when Stewie pulls Stu's eyelids back.
  • Tom and Diane giving news in the retirement home.
  • Lois requesting Stewie that, on his way back to the past, he "make sure Chris never marries that bitch Vanessa" and that she never end up in a retirement home, to which Stewie replies by laughing maniacally. Subsequently, the scene where Stewie kills Vanessa at her and Chris' wedding is cut out.
  • The closing shot was cut out, instead ending the last episode on Meg's line "I've always liked that name—Ron..."
  • Some transition effects and music were altered to fit as normal episodes.

However, the televised episodes also contained two scenes not featured on the DVD release. At the end of "And Bango Was His Name-O", there is a Soap-style cliffhanger concerning Stewie, the cell phone man, and "any of our younger viewers". "Stu and Stewie's Excellent Adventure" begins with a 24-style opening recapping the events of the previous two episodes and showing an unrelated clip from The Chevy Chase Show.

The first part of the movie, Stewie B. Goode, aired on July 9, 2006 on Cartoon Network's Adult Swim programming block. And Bango was His Name-O was aired July 16, and Stu and Stewie's Excellent Adventure will air on July 23.

Pop culture references


Celebrities

The rest of the movie is full of celebrity voice impersonations/references, and movie parodies.

  • Before the film begins, a fake trailer shows Vince Vaughn and Susan Sarandon playing Two People Who Look Like They Never Sleep, a reference to Sarandon and Vaughn's naturally droopy eyelids.
  • Another fake trailer is for a Disney movie about a bunny who needs to make friends in order to achieve happiness (a Disney film cliché) and sets about trying to become friends with a loving but anti-social bear (another Disney cliché). The trailer ends with Randy Newman (voiced by Will Sasso, who also voiced Newman in "Da Boom") singing a song outlining the rest of the movie.
  • David Bowie tells Asian reporter Tricia Takanawa "Just you shut your mouth," a line from his and Iggy Pop's song China Girl.
  • Peter provides "nighttime heat" for Lara Flynn Boyle and asks her about Dylan McDermott.
  • The voice of Elmer Fudd was provided by Noel Blanc, the son of Mel Blanc. (Though Elmer was largely voiced by Arthur Q. Bryan, Mel Blanc replaced him for a brief period after Bryan's death.)
  • Stewie and Stu are both singing "Enough Is Enough" in a San Francisco cable car, a parody of Barbra Streisand and Donna Summers singing together.
  • Barbra Streisand's nose is censored in one segment because "Lackluster Video" (a parody of Blockbuster Video) edits out religious content, mostly content that is considered "non-Christian".
  • Peter rants about Lindsay Lohan, saying that women do not ever want to have sex.
  • Cleveland's clothing line is C.C. Brown, obviously a joke on the football player with the same name.
  • Stewie gives Roger Moore his phone number, 555-0105.
  • Stewie mentions Michael Chiklis after shaving his testicles. A cutaway shows Chiklis as Vic Mackey and his "brother", actually a testicle figure with a mouth named "Detective Scrotes", reunites him.
  • Bono is stranded on an island with Peter with a hamper of food; Peter knocks Bono out with a rock when he tells him to save the food "for the starving children of the world".
  • Stewie randomly asks Stu about a "successful vehicle for Ellen Cleghorne".
  • The Jew Man Group is a spoof on Blue Man Group.
  • Young Ray Charles becomes blind after Peter's black aunt Ella Fitzgerald Griffin sings at a high enough pitch to shatter a drinking glass into Charles' eyes. Ella Fitzgerald Griffin is a parody of Ella Fitzgerald, while her voice shattering the glass spoofs a famous Memorex commercial she did during the 1970s. However, Ray Charles became blind under the age of 8 from glaucoma.
  • Stewie mentions his cousin, Quark Griffin (a parody of Quark on Deep Space Nine, shown in a cutaway being harassed by Odo (voiced by Rene Auberjonois, who played Odo on Deep Space Nine).
  • After Stewie survives his "near-death" experience, Steve Allen (who is still in Hell, and simply wanted help with his collar) sits down to watch TV and discovers that Hell only has one television program. Though we cannot see what is playing on the TV, the theme song playing is that of Who's the Boss?
  • Kurt Cobain, Ernest Hemingway, and Vincent Van Gogh are in heaven talking about why they died.
  • Peter comments that he once appeared on Roseanne. A segment then shows Peter, playing the character of Dan Conner, speaking to Roseanne (voiced by Borstein), whose words are all garbled into a long, screeching rant.
  • Wilford Brimley is parodied in a fake Diabetes Association ad.
  • Chris reveals that after Family Guy was originally cancelled he did a brief stint on The West Wing, and we then see a clip of Chris walking with the regular cast through an endless hallway (a reference to the fact that characters in the show almost always carry conversations while walking through a hallway). The camera then pans to reveal that Chris is actually walking through a maze in which he finds a pedestal with a slice of cheese on it (a reference to Big Block of Cheese Day).
  • Meg claims that when Family Guy was cancelled, she joined the USO. We then see Meg dressed as Cher singing "If I Could Turn Back Time", which causes all of the sailors to dive overboard, commit suicide, and destroy their ship.
  • Stewie mentions Sheryl Crow dating Lance Armstrong, and his cancer.
  • A security camera video shows Lois getting into an altercation with a gas station clerk over a tube of Pringles; the gag is played out to mimic Dana Plato's infamous armed robbery of a Las Vegas video store.
  • In the future, Peter watches the Britney Spears comeback tour. At this point, Britney has lost a foot to diabetes and is no longer "sexy". The comeback tour ends a few seconds later when her wheelchair crashes into the speakers and she catches fire.
  • Walt Disney is unfrozen in the future, but asks to be refrozen because Jews still exist. (Disney was incorrectly thought to be anti-Semitic.)
  • When Stu and Stewie exit the time travel store the sign above the door states "watch O.J. do it," a reference to O.J. Simpson and the murder of his wife.
  • Condoleezza Rice, circa 1974, is portrayed as an afro-sporting, liberal, Black Panther-supporting college student who is stoned at a party, a far cry from what she is now.
  • After Stewie crashes his car into the pub after getting drunk, Peter mistakes him as Grant Goodeve's son. Goodeve was a television actor who was a serious alcoholic until a car crash finally convinced him to turn his life around.
  • At a restaurant, a customer mistakes Peter for Michael Moore.

Consumer products

The film makes mention of several consumer products.

  • Brian and Stewie see a Dr. Pepper cola machine while wandering through the desert and believe that they're saved. Approaching it, however, they find out that it's actually an RC Cola machine, causing Stewie to break down.
  • Stewie is disgusted by a Band-Aid as he drowns.
  • During a montage showing Stewie and Brian's night-out at the Drunken Clam, we see Stewie playing Pac-Man and Brian arguing with him about strategy.
  • A flashback scene shows Peter presenting Lois with a Galaga machine for Christmas, and then throwing her through the living room window so that he can play it himself.
  • During a montage in which Lois recalls what she did after Family Guy was cancelled, we see her in a gas station arguing with a clerk over a tube of Pringles.
  • The Griffin family buys a TiVo, which Stewie uses to identify Stu. While at the store, the clerk uses it twice on the film, once to show off the instant replay and again to fast forward through the argument if the family should purchase it. It is stated by Seth MacFarlane that the TiVo was only placed in the movie as a means of Stewie freezing the television broadcast to see Stu.
  • Stu works at the "Quahog Circuit Shack" (a parody of Circuit City and Radio Shack).
  • Stu and Fran both hold up tubes of Go-Gurt for their joke about Go-Gurt Day.
  • Tom Tucker plays Crash Bandicoot on a handheld video game, which appears to be an original Game Boy. In reality, Crash Bandicoot's first hand held appearance was on Game Boy Advance.
  • Stewie smells Head & Shoulders in Stu's hair and a brief conversation about Stu's lack of dandruff ensues.
  • In the retirement home elderly Joe sings "Short Shorts" while showing off his legs; the song was also used in commercials for hair-removing lotion Nair
  • Stu reads Parade magazine, to Stewie's horror
  • Brian drives a Prius to the Drunken Clam
  • After meeting Fran, Stewie asks how often they've gotten into those Lane Bryant stretch pants.

Film

  • One of the title cards for the opening theme parodies a scene in The Final Frontier in which Kirk climbs a mountain while Spock uses rocket boots to get to his position.
  • In the Winnebago Stewie mentions the movie Three Men and a Baby to Quagmire and Brian. Stewie states that a ghost was hiding in the window in that movie; Brian denies it, saying it was an urban legend and that it was a piece of cardboard instead.
  • In the DVD Commentary, creator Seth MacFarlane notes that the "Grinds My Gears" segment alludes to Planes, Trains and Automobiles, notably when John Candy says, "Nothing grinds my gears more than a big ol' chowderhead who doesn't know when to keep his trap shut."
  • The title of the final portion of the DVD, "Stu and Stewie's Excellent Adventure," is similar to that of the time-travelling movie Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure.
  • Indiana Jones has two scenes. One is a parody of The Temple of Doom, where "Short Round" (portrayed by Stewie) accidentally bumps into a trap only to tell Indy that Kate Capshaw got her role in the movie because she was sleeping with the director (future husband, Steven Spielberg). The other is from The Last Crusade, when Peter says that he will take Meg under his wing to teach her how to attract a guy. He claimed that he does lots of stuff with Meg, including their Last Crusade, where Peter and Meg take the places of Indy and Dr. Schneider. The knight tells Peter that he must select the true Holy Grail, to which Peter picks the right one instantly, on the basis that it is a mug that has Jesus' name on it.
  • Stewie jumps on Stu and yells "Surprise!" just as he teleports back to 2039, similar to Gillian jumping on Kirk as he transports back to the Bird-of-Prey in The Voyage Home.
  • Two Imperial Stormtroopers appear after Peter says "Another thing that grinds my gears is when I can't find the droids I'm looking for."
  • In his pursuit of Stu, Stewie shoos a group of Jawas from a nearby car before using the car in his chase.
  • Diane Simmons mentions The Remains of the Day, which she calls "a boring Merchant Ivory film starring Sir Anthony Hopkins".
  • Jawas look over the orange rent-a-car.
  • The car chase scene in San Francisco is a reference to the movie Bullitt. The chase being referenced is considered to be one of the greatest car chase scenes of all time.
  • The climax, where Stewie tries to rush to the swimming pool as fast as possible is a parody of Ferris Bueller's Day Off when Ferris tries to rush home as fast as possible, along with the music right out of the film.
  • The crash of the Winnebago is similar to the crash of the Griswold's Station wagon in National Lampoon's Vacation, in which Clark (Chevy Chase) crashes the wagon and it hits the front end like the Winnebago did. It is also reminiscent of Spaceballs, in which the Winnebago spaceship crashes in the desert.
  • The opening credits feature a screenshot of Brian and Stewie driving off a cliff, á la Thelma & Louise. The end of the credits has a screenshot which is a spoof of Easy Rider.
  • Endo from Lethal Weapon shocks Chris.
  • Stewie portrayed Maria in one cutaway, a spoof of The Sound Of Music.
  • Peter failed while directing Terms of Endearment.
  • A flashback shows Brian and Stewie as siamese twins while Stewie insults someone is a reference to Stuck On You, which is about siamese twins.
  • After Stewie steals the Winnebago from Quagmire and drives off from the motel, the theme from Smokey and the Bandit ("East Bound and Down") plays.
  • Stewie screaming "NO! I WANT TO LIVE!!! LIVE!!!" may be a subtle reference to a scene in the 2004 film Saw, to the Frankenstein Monster in the 2003 action flick Van Helsing, or to the 1946 Frank Capra film It's A Wonderful Life.

TV

  • Chris has to name the four main characters of Sex and the City or face getting electrocuted by Endo from Lethal Weapon. The immensely popular HBO sitcom revolves around the lives of four women and their many romantic relationships in New York City. The show is especially popular among young female adults. He manages to name Carrie, Miranda, and Samantha, but fails to list the fourth character, which he lists as Scrappy Doo.
  • Who's The Boss? is apparently the only television show played in Hell, as the theme is constant across every channel as Steve Allen tries to see what's on.
  • Peter played Dan Conner's role in Roseanne.
  • Samuel Adams beer commercials are parodied, similar to Dave Chappelle's infamous Samuel L. Jackson Beer skit.
  • Peter stopped hosting Family Feud. He portrays a perverted host who gropes a female contestant, a reference to the show's original host, Richard Dawson, who kissed all the female contestants on the show.
  • A man asks for Mork and Mindy in a video store.
  • The Shield is parodied, with a cutaway of Vic's "brother".
  • When drunk, Stewie sings "Suicide Is Painless", the M*A*S*H theme song.
  • Peter's "You Know What Really Grinds My Gears" segments are a parody of Saturday Night Live's Weekend Update with the late John Belushi's rants. Also the phrase "You know what really grinds my gears" comes from a scene in the movie Planes, Trains and Automobiles with Steve Martin and the late John Candy.
  • The main characters of Beverly Hills 90210 appear talking in the "Peach Pit." Andrea is the only one who has grown old, and she appears to be deaf.
  • Stewie makes a remark about his cousin 'Quark Griffin'. The following scene shows the characters Quark and Odo from 'Star Trek: Deep Space Nine', sitting at Quark's bar. Odo persistently tells Quark that he will catch him in the act of committing a crime, and threateningly tells him that he could morph into a python and eat him alive. At which point, Quark remarks "Why don't you morph into someone with something interesting to talk about?"
  • A man enters an elevator with Stewie, and keeps on asking someone on his mobile phone "Do you wanna pick me up?", a reference to the line "Can you hear me now?" from the ad by Verizon Wireless. Stewie kills the man because he was getting annoyed by this.
  • At the end of the movie, Stewie is shown appearing on Inside the Actors Studio, in the middle of pondering an answer to James Lipton's standard questionnaire. He replies 'fuck', and the next question is "What is your favorite curse word?" (Obliquely, this implies that the unheard question was "What turns you off?", assuming the questions were asked in order.)
  • Stewie's adult fear of taking risks is a reversal of the plotline of Star Trek: The Next Generation episode Tapestry. After going back in time to stop a near-death experience from his own youth, Picard finds he's now lived a life without taking risks, and accomplished nothing.
  • The edited-into-episodes version has two additional TV references:
    • The end of the Bango Was His Name Oh! episode spoofs the end-of-episode tags of Soap.
    • The beginning of Stu and Stewie's Excellent Adventure spoofs the opening of 24 (featuring the voice of Kiefer Sutherland) and also makes mention of The Chevy Chase Show.
  • Peter and Lois watch ''Law & Order P.C.A.M.P.I.E.O.F.T.D: Petty Crimes Against Municipal Property in Excess of Five Thousand Dollars.
  • When Stewie walks down the carpet, a reporter asks if FOX has plans to bring back Futurama

Cartoons

  • Thundercats appears when Stewie mentioned about people living together like in TV. The scene shows Lion-O using the Sword of Omens and its power source, the Eye of Thundera, to see through the bathroom door and watch Cheetara using the toilet. After that, Snarf comes up and Lion-O asks him if they both want to get "wasted". Lion-O and Cheetara are voiced by the original voice actors of Thundercats, Larry Kenney and Lynne Lipton.
  • Casper appears after getting hit by a car and says to Stewie that he was going to "off" himself on Tuesday anyway.
  • Peter dresses as Spider-Man on a clothesline singing to the tune of the Batman theme. (Due to licensing rights)
  • Characters from Jonny Quest are going to the airport and Hadji is detained for "random screening".
  • Chris mentions Scrappy-Doo while answering Lois' question.
  • Brian comments on a disturbing cartoon he saw; the film then segues into a short cartoon based on Rabbit Fire in which Elmer Fudd comes across Bugs Bunny, shoots him repeatedly with a rifle, snaps his neck, and then drags Bugs' bloody corpse off by the ears. This is a spoof of how the violence in Looney Tunes cartoons was heavily edited out when they aired on TV during the 1960s and 70's as Saturday morning cartoons.
  • Superman talks to Wonder Woman while she's in the lavatory in her invisible plane.

Family Guy TV Series

  • Lois sings a part from the Family Guy theme song while she's drunk.
  • During the "Intermission" scene, Herbert the Creepy Old Pedophile can be heard mentioning that he's hoping Chris appears in a shower scene.
  • Stewie holds one of his sexy parties (as seen twice in From Method to Madness).
  • Greased-Up Deaf Guy appears in the red carpet intro. The shape of him is a bit different than the episodes.
  • Opening credits are similar to the episode "Road to Rhode Island" and "Road to Europe".
  • The circus twins in the beginning segment are arrested for using steroids.
  • Big Fat Paulie's corpse was believed to have been located (he can be found in There's Something About Paulie).
  • Ollie Williams appears and engages in a dialogue with Tom.
  • In the future, when Joe is not in a wheelchair but has legs, he says, "Who would have guessed I'd be one of the few not in a wheelchair?"
  • During the wrap party at the end of the movie, many minor characters from previous episodes of Family Guy are present at the Drunken Clam. They include Brian's cousin Jasper, nudists Dave and Dottie Campbell, "Change for a Buck" from the Indian casino, and the CPR instructor/performance artist/spiritual guide who tells Tricia Takanawa, "If I wanted to hear 81 minutes of gay bashing, I would have gone to my father's house."

Other

  • Stewie's brief foray into politics is an obvious parody of the toppling of Saddam Hussein's regime in Iraq as well as his eventual capture.
  • The Inning:Stewie is shown sitting next to Steve Bartman at Wrigley Field during the 2003 National League Championship Series, urging Bartman to go after a foul ball. Bartman was the Chicago Cubs fan who became a scapegoat for interfering with a catchable foul ball during Game 6 of that NLCS, where the visiting Florida Marlins rallied from a 3-0 deficit in the eighth inning to win the game, and ultimately the series.
  • When the two stereotypical circus strongmen are arrested on charges of steroid usage they tell the police they should be out stopping Nicola Sacco and Bartolomeo Vanzetti, a pair of Italian anarchists from the 1920s who were convicted of murder only on circumstantial evidence.
  • Stewie's stunt man appears when he jumps through a window (spoofing how some stunt men are visible in movies). MacFarlane said in the DVD commentary that people thought the stunt man was supposed to be Super Mario.
  • The Evil Monkey also appears walking down the red carpet with a blonde woman. He appears to be very popular among reporters and has a chill-out Hollywood-like attitude. On request from the press, he does his popular "evil pose" with which he uses to threaten Chris in the series.
  • During the film's premiere, Drew Barrymore is seen with her boyfriend, Kool-Aid, the animated pitcher from the commercials who constantly exclaims "Oh yeah!" The Kool-Aid man was also the subject of an extremely popular gag from the Family Guy pilot, Death Has a Shadow.
  • After Stewie smashes his piggy bank, Brian walks in and asks what he's doing and Stewie replies: "None of your beeswax, Ramona" which is a mockery of Beverly Cleary's cheeky book series Ramona Quimby.

Trivia


  • Chris's wife Vanessa bears an uncanny resemblance to the stripper Chris confided to in Fore Father.
  • The DVD was released on September 27, 2005, holding the No. 1 spot on DVD sales in stores for a week.
  • A completed DVD edit of the film leaked onto Usenet on July 24, 2005. A DVD-R was posted and it appeared to be a completed copy before the DVD was to be prepared, such as adding bonus features and menus.
  • On the TV version, Peter "was going to say Grant Goodeve" but captions say "Tim Meadows".
  • In a a similar incident on a "deleted episode", Brian and Stewie travel to the first game in Pacific Bell Park.
