Peter has his driving license revoked for careless driving and is forced to be driven around by Meg, which annoys him.
Production
Lois mocking wasn't broadcast on television for timing purposes, and only shown on the DVD version.
The montage of Stewie and Brian visiting several
U.S. states was a DVD exclusive scene, removed from television for timing purposes. The music performed at Stewie's vision of Rupert's funeral was the hymn
Amazing Grace, while the funeral itself is a reference to
Spock's funeral in . Peter watches an episode of
SpongeBob SquarePants in the car which features music performed in the actual episode. It had been written by
Dan Povenmire for the original SpongeBob episode, but it was allowed in the episode as
Nickelodeon gave
Family Guy permission to reproduce the music. Unfortunately, the scene is cut in syndication. The entire scene of Stewie singing and dancing in order to secure rental of the helicopter is a reference to
1945 musical film
Anchors Aweigh. Love comments positively on the Stewie and Brian relationship in the episode, commenting that, "the Stewie and Brian story is what made the episode for me. It was very well done, right down to the goofy little details."
