During a meeting of fat guys in the Griffon's living room, Stewie starts impersonating a carnival barker seeing who can find his penis first and win one dollar. Later, when the group band together to hunt down Patrick, one guy can be overheard saying "Hey, I found my penis!"penis!"
** To prove whether or not Patrick's "imaginary" wife is real, Brian and Stewie leave a cucumber on the couch, and if it pickles after a couple of weeks, then she's RealAfterAll. Later on in the episode, Lois asks who the pickle belongs to.

Added DiffLines:

* ContrivedCoincidence:
** Lois discovers that she has a long-lost brother who has a murderous hatred of fat guys in the same week that Peter starts a coalition for...fat guys. And to make it worse, the only reason Lois learns about Patrick is because Peter tries to prove he's thin by sticking a hula hoop over his large gut, which inadvertently knocks over an old family photo and reveals that a part of it has been folded over.
** Patrick's SerialKiller tendencies emerged when he was a little boy and watched his mother performing oral sex on Jackie Gleason. When Patrick mentions Gleason, Peter just so happens to have a bus driver's uniform waiting just offscreen and puts it on, sending Patrick over the edge and starting the Fat Guy Strangler murders.
* TheDogBitesBack: When Peter blames Meg for his being fat and announces that he has a plan to deal with it, Meg snaps back "You gonna lose some weight, ''fatass?''" in a rare showing of spine.


Added DiffLines:

* InstantlyProvenWrong: PlayedForLaughs when Brian shows Lois the overwhelming evidence about Patrick being the Fat Guy Strangler. Whenever she tries to defend him, something immediately contradicts her:
-->'''Brian''': What about the dead fat guy under the bed?
-->'''Lois''': Coincidence?
-->'''Brian''': What about the ''half-dead'' fat guy in the corner?
-->'''Half-Dead Fat Guy''': ''(Completely deadpan)'' Patrick tried to kill me.


Added DiffLines:

* LeftTheBackgroundMusicOn: A spoken version. Peter dresses as Jackie Gleason and inadvertently triggers a flashback for Patrick, who remembers the actor saying "POW, right in the kisser!" as Babs had an affair with him. Gleason's voice echoes...and we fade back to Peter, who is repeatedly saying "Pow, right in the kisser" for no apparent reason.
* NeverMyFault: Peter blames Meg, of all people, for him being so fat.
