* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome:
** In the "Jack and the Beanstalk" story, Jack is able to solve the money issues in his marriage, but money doesn't solve the other problems in his marriage.
** In the "Little Red Riding Hood" story, Stewie doesn't immediately buy the wolf's disguise like Red does in the original story, and when the wolf is cut open, Babs's half-digested corpse falls out (when most Red Riding Hood stories have the grandmother fully intact and not affected by digestive acids). He also points out that it’s really dangerous for a little girl to be traveling alone on-foot to their grandmothers house, which is 68 miles away.
** In the "Cinderella" parody, Cinderella does get her prince, but, since she didn't know him very well before they married, the marriage was short-lived and they divorced. Once to attempt self-improvement and a second time due to incompatibility.

Added DiffLines:

* CinderellaPlot: The last segment of "Grimm Job" parodizes ''Cinderella'', by casting Lois as the protagonist, Meg and Stewie as the ugly stepsisters, and Babs as the wicked stepmother. After the villains ruin Lois' dress, she is visited by her fairy godmother (played by Adam West), who gives her a new one and sends her to Prince Peter's ball. The rest of the episode closely follows the plot of [[WesternAnimation/{{Cinderella}} Disney's original adaptation]], but ends with the narrator's cynical description of the toxic nature of their marriage.

Removing natter. The part about Peter shaking Stewie awake fits Abusive Parents and is mentioned under that entry.


* ParentalObliviousness: In yet another example of clearly being an unfit parent (moreso than Lois, but, at least Peter has mental retardation as an excuse), Peter failing to notice a pedophile (Herbert) in Chris' room, or that Meg hanged herself. He also earns no redemption with Stewie (reading to him), as he not only shakes him (to get him to wake up to hear "Cinderella"), but frightens him even more earlier in the episode by reminding him of a home invasion.
