Plot summary

The Griffins are impressed when they discover that Meg has landed an internship with Mayor West. However, this makes Brian feel pressured about getting himself a job, lest he wants to be considered by the family to be the “new Meg” (which is, of course, not good), and sub sequentially becomes a taxicab driver. However, when he receives a $400 parking ticket under West’s new law, Brian becomes convinced that he’s corrupt. Meg, on the other hand, argues that he’s a much nicer person than he lets on. Working together with Stewie, Brian tries to find evidence to expose the mayor’s shady ways. Initially they have little luck--that is, until they discover West and Meg are engaged in a secret yet innocent relationship. Seeing this as the perfect opportunity to take West down, Brian confronts Meg with pictures and threatens to expose them to the public. Meg warns West beforehand who, knowing that this would affect Meg’s future negatively, agrees to take the fall himself. Brian secretly witnesses this and realizes that he is not as bad as he thought. He confronts Meg once again, only this time he destroys the evidence and apologizes. The fictional version of Adam West on the animated television series Family Guy is a caricature of actor Adam West, who also supplies his voice. ...

Meanwhile, Peter and Lois decide to participate in a community talent show with a folk-singing act they always used to do back in the 60s. However, they are having a hard time at writing new songs and start to smoke marijuana, thinking it will provide inspiration. Peter and Lois begin to behave bizarrely in their high state, which greatly disturbs the family. At the show, they initially appear to wow the entire crowd with their performance, but it later turns out that they blundered horribly and lost. Chris, who was in the audience at the show, explains that they were completely oblivious to this fact in their high state and thought they were singing well. Peter and Lois are deeply ashamed of themselves, so Chris decides to lecture them about the effects of marijuana.

DVD Exclusive Scenes

• A deleted scene on the DVD version of the episode shows more of Brian and Stewie driving the taxi to meet Kermit the Frog. In the scene, Cleveland tries to hail a cab again, but when he is ignored by Brian again, he throws yet another shoe at the cab, yelling, “Oh there you are, you honky son of a bitch! Get back here!”
• A scene where Brian and Stewie walk to Mayor West’s office and find the Scooby Doo gang (Fred, Daphne, Velma, Shaggy, and Scooby), with Stewie humming the famous “walking” music on Scooby Doo to get them to leave. Frank Welker guest-starred as the voice of Fred.
• The cutaway of Peter singing Ding Fries Are Done has two more verses on the DVD version, which were cut on TV due to time constraints.

Censorship

• The scene where Lois and Peter are high while on the couch was shown differently on the FOX version. The FOX version showed Lois and Peter wearing underwear while on the couch, while the unedited version shows them completely naked. In an extra scene that never aired on FOX, Lois tells the disturbed Brian that Peter is “knocking on the back door” and asks if she should “let him in.” Adult Swim shows the original version where Peter and Lois are naked and the original version can be seen on the DVD.
• According to DVD commentary, Peter and Lois’s band, “Handful of Peter,” was originally supposed to be called “Mouthful of Peter,” but the censors objected. Also, one of the lines in the “In God’s Eyes” song was changed from “He’d do her from behind/Even go a second time” to “He’d do her all the way/Even call her the next day/Just to see how work was going.”

Cultural references

This article or section contains too many minor or trivial fictional references. Mere trivia, or references unimportant to the overall plot of a work of fiction, should be deleted. See also what Wikipedia is.

• In the opening scene, Brian is watching an episode of Scarecrow and Mrs. King, but instead of Bruce Boxleitner’s character, secret agent Lee “Scarecrow” Stetson, Kate Jackson’s Amanda King is paired with the Scarecrow from The Wizard of Oz. Scarecrow, attacked by drug dealers, uses the same reaction lines from the film: “They took my chest out, and they threw it over there! Then they tore my legs off, and they threw them over there!”
• Brian watches a VH1 special on Gwen Stefani and makes a reference to her song Hollaback Girl.
• While Peter is riding in the back of Brian’s cab, he insists on calling Brian “Bitterman,” a reference to the 1981 movie Arthur. “Bitterman” is the name of the chauffer.
• A claymation cutaway is shown, parodying the clay cars from the Chevron commercials.
• When Lois mentions Peter’s part-time jobs, the cutaway shows Peter in his Burger King uniform in a parody of the infamous “Burger King Christmas Carol,” an Internet meme.
• Stewie aggressively sings the Mr. Belvedere theme song to drown out others as he tries to watch the show.
• When Cleveland smashes Brian’s taxicab for revenge, he is caught and morphs into a black panther and flees. According to DVD commentary, it is a reference to Michael Jackson’s music video for “Black or White", in which Jackson smashes a car and also morphs from a panther to a human and back.
• While investigating West, Brian meets, Deep Throat, AKA Kermit the Frog of The Muppets fame. His identity revealed, Kermit flees in a panic with his characteristic “YAAAAAAAY!!” from The Muppet Show.
• When Peter is singing his song idea without his inspiration, his lyrics are describing the transportation in New New York in the former FOX show Futurama. It's also similar to a lyric from the Tenacious D song "City Hall".
• During the 1980s, Domino’s Pizza had an advertising campaign where a small man dressed in a tight suit known as “The Noid” always attempted to ruin Domino’s pizzas but never succeeded.

• One of the cartoons Mayor West loves is the 1987 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles cartoon, as its theme song is heard inside Mayor West’s motel room. Another is the 1980s cartoon Jem.
• The title “Deep Throats” refers to W. Mark Felt, who was a source for Washington Post reporters Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein, and leaked information about the involvement of U.S. President Richard Nixon’s administration in various misdeeds under the pseudonym Deep Throat. This led to the Watergate scandal.
• The cutaway with Stewie Cruise on Oprah is a parody of Tom Cruise’s interview with Oprah Winfrey on May 23, 2005 in which he screamed about how much he loved Katie Holmes and jumped on the couch.
• When Peter and Lois talk before sleeping, Peter mentions his “sounds of the rainforest CD.” The sounds on the CD are deforestation, and two workers talking about how much they hate Sting and his song Desert Rose.
• The store clerk that sells the milk to Brian mentions how he wants to do Jessica Alba just because he wants Brian to “know a little bit about who he is, this is a reference to the home movies cartoon..”
