'''Chris:''' Yeah, but mine's ''smarter!''

* In "German Guy", Peter and Chris end up in a hostage situation with an elderly Nazi named Franz. Chris disarms him and aims the gun...but can't tell who's Peter and who's Franz because ''they switched places'' (despite them looking absolutely ''nothing'' alike).

* In "[[Recap/FamilyGuyS5E12Airport07 Airport 07]]", when Peter sees Quagmire's plane being fuelled, he starts imagining his pickup flying through the air ''Film/TopGun'' style because according to him (and because he doesn't remotely know anything about aerodynamics), if he can get his pickup to run on the same fuel as a plane, and a plane is able to fly, then somehow his truck will be able to fly too.

* In "[[Recap/FamilyGuyS9E8NewKidneyInTown New Kidney in Town]]", Peter tries making his own Red Bull, and uses mostly kerosene, reasoning that Red Bull and kerosene are both fuel, so kerosene equals Red Bull. When Brian points out the sheer insanity of this and the fact that the drink will probably kill Peter, Peter responds with "Brian, whatever kills me makes me stronger". Peter previously came to the conclusion that putting jet fuel in his pickup truck would make it fly.

'''Peter:''' It's not gay, Brian. If I'm gay, then [[Music/{{Queen}} Freddie Mercury]] was gay.\\

* A RunningGag in the series combines this with PaperThinDisguise in that a character (Peter and Mort) pretends to be something they're not (Peter in "[[Recap/FamilyGuyS4E20PatriotGames Patriot Games]]" pretending to be a [[NinjaPirateZombieRobot cowboy astronaut]] to impress his high school classmates at a reunion, and Mort in "[[Recap/FamilyGuyS7E3RoadToGermany Road to Germany]]" disguising himself as a Catholic priest to get through Nazi Germany unhindered), and the disguise is blown all because some normally easily-removed article of clothing is...well, easily removed. (Peter's cowboy hat, and Mort's priest collar)
** Adding to the above, Mort is exposed when a real priest walks up, and the Gestapo officer looks confused and says "What? TWO priests?!" -- as if there can't possibly be more than one priest in any one spot.

* In "[[Recap/FamilyGuyS5E12Airport07 Airport 07]]", when Peter sees Quagmire's plane being fuelled, he starts imagining his pickup flying through the air ''Film/TopGun'' style because according to him, the fuel is what physically makes the plane fly, so therefore by filling his pickup with plane fuel, that'll somehow give it the ability to fly through the air like a jet.

* In "[[Recap/FamilyGuyS6E8McStroke McStroke]]", Peter decides to grow a mustache, which Brian says he thinks looks gay. Peter retorts that if he's gay, then [[Music/{{Queen}} Freddie Mercury]] was gay. When Brian points out that [[AnalogyBackfire Mercury was indeed famously homosexual]] [[note]]He was actually bisexual[[/note]], Peter reasons that he was straight because he had a mustache, which according to Peter is "practically a wedding ring".

* In "[[Recap/FamilyGuyS7E4BabyNotOnBoard Baby Not on Board]]" Lois, in a fit of rage, exclaims, "Sometimes I feel like I'm married to a child!". Peter replies that if she's married to a child, then she's a pedophile, and that he'll be damned if he'll stand there and be lectured by a pervert.

* In "[[Recap/FamilyGuyS10E2SeahorseSeashellParty Seahorse Seashell Party]]", [[ButtMonkey Meg]] believes that her aggressors[[note]]Peter, Lois and Chris[[/note]] cannot function without a "lightning rod to absorb all the dysfunction". It shouldn't matter that they can't function without her because their feelings are clearly not worth it.

* In "[[Recap/FamilyGuyS5E14NoMealsOnWheels No Meals on Wheels]]" Peter proves that (in his words) "cripples aren't cool". His favorite actor, Creator/MarkHarmon, doesn't need a wheelchair. Mark Harmon is cool. Therefore people who need wheelchairs aren't cool and shouldn't be allowed in his restaurant.
* Lois explaining to Chris in "[[Recap/FamilyGuyS9E2ExcellenceInBroadcasting Excellence in Broadcasting]]" that everything Fox News reports on is a lie. Even if it's true, it instantly becomes a lie if Fox News mentions it. Note that this is used to explain away [[ContinuityNod the earlier revelation that Rush Limbaugh and Fred Savage were the same person, something Lois herself discovered and reported on for Fox]].

* In "[[Recap/FamilyGuyS4E14PTV PTV]]", the FCC has a meeting over an incident where someone's genitals were exposed on live TV. One of the men in the meeting says they received twenty calls complaining about the event and goes on to say that one person equals a billion people. Therefore, twenty callers equals twenty billion people. This is ignoring the fact that the world doesn't even have that many people.

* In "[[Recap/FamilyGuyS7E11NotAllDogsGoToHeaven Not All Dogs Go to Heaven]]", Brian's argument for atheism basically amounts to "Meg is ugly and her family are jerks, therefore God doesn't exist".

* In "[[Recap/FamilyGuyS10E2SeahorseSeashellParty Seahorse Seashell Party]]", after [[TheReasonYouSuckSpeech laying out her family's mistreatment of her]], Meg comes to the conclusion that her family ''needs'' a human punching to take their frustrations on in order to function properly, so she comes up with the decision to ''continue'' being their personal punching bag.
-->'''Meg:''' Do you think it's possible that this family can't survive without some sort of lightning rod to absorb all the dysfunction?\\
'''Brian:''' Well, that's a... that's a theory, I guess.\\
'''Meg:''' I mean, it's not ideal, but it's an important piece that maybe it's just my lot in life to provide. [[TheScapegoat Maybe if I feel bad, they don't have to.]]
