Trivia[edit | edit source]
- This is the first episode to be told via a flashback.
- If one were to not count the appearances of the other characters, Peter and Chris are the only characters to presently appear in this episode.
- Fourth Wall: When Peter is starting up his story and mentions it takes place two years ago, Chris mentions that means Stewie won't appear in the episode due to not being born yet. Which makes the dissolve stop and Peter to glance at the camera before turning back to Chris.
- Foreshadowing: Man Mountain Mike is shown to be alive around the time Peter's story takes place (1998 or so), despite anyone who knows about him knowing he died in 1988. Foreshadowing that Peter's story is made up.
- Retcons in future seasons:
- In this scrapped version of the episode, Meg was shown to not have worn glasses until a year prior to the start of the show, she was around fourteen or fifteen. Future episodes like "Friends Without Benefits" and "Coma Guy" show Meg's always had glasses since she was around a toddler.
- Cleveland gives Peter a silk wrestling robe that advertises Cleveland's Deli and mentions how it was his father's. Later on, The Cleveland Show would retcon this and show Cleveland's father LeVar is alive and well.
Cultural references[edit | edit source]

- Max's song, Never Had a Jewish Friend Like Me, is sung to the beat of Friend Like Me from Aladdin.
Scene refitted for other episodes[edit | edit source]
- Incomplete
While this version of the episode was scrapped, scenes from this version were reincarnated into different episodes.
- In act two, Peter and Max get pulled over by a cop and Peter tries to haggle him thinking he's a gay cop.[1] This scene was reworked into a cutaway in "Love Thy Trophy", but with Max replaced with Brian, and no sorcery involved.
- In act three, Max reveals to Peter he's not a Jew or even a man. He's really a woman, who's really a chicken, who's really a broom.[2] The scene was reworked into a segment on Diane! in "Fifteen Minutes of Shame", except the chicken part was replaced with a horse.
