* ProductPlacement: {{Invoked|Trope}} for laughs as part of Fung's takeover of the show. The head of the asylum abruptly stops explaining Francine's condition to Stan in order to take a long swig of Fung Wah brand water. Later, Stan asks an orderly where Francine is and leaves when he gets the answer. Instead of following Stan, we get a long, Family Guy-esque sequence where the orderly, alone in an empty room, gives a long advertisement for Success by Fung Wah Cologne. Finally, Fung Wah himself explains everything works out between Stan and Francine because they go on a second Honeymoon at Fung Wah Resort in Bali, a plug that also includes his luxury suit line, his glassware and his chocolates.

When Fung appears at the Smith house, he immediately fixes the B-Plot problem of Roger having too many clothes (to which the quartet praise him), then goes on an adventure with them where he discovers buried treasure under the sidewalk ''and'' takes over the voices for all four.

Here, Stan does more-or-less the exact same thing again (only with a mental hospital instead of memory-erasing technology), having learned nothing. Once again, the results are bad.
