Plot summary

The Griffins invite the neighbors over for game night. While they are playing Trivial Pursuit, Lois gives Peter the Pre-School Edition questions to let him have his moment. After winning the game, Peter is an insufferable boor and starts talking down to everyone. Brian can’t take it and challenges Peter to apply for the MacArthur Genius Grant to prove he is in fact a genius. When the test results come back, however, it turns out that Peter is actually mentally retarded. Trivial Pursuit is a board game where progress is determined by a players ability to answer general knowledge or popular culture questions. ...

Mental retardation (abbreviated as MR), is a term for a pattern of persistently slow learning of basic motor and language skills (milestones) during childhood, and a significantly below-normal intellectual capacity as an adult. ...

Peter is depressed about this until he accidentally runs over Tom Tucker. Tucker is mad until he sees that it’s Peter, the retarded fellow, who ran him over, and lets him go without calling the police. Peter realizes that being retarded means he can get away with all kinds of inappropriate behavior and he quickly takes advantage of his newfound power, in ways such as kicking doors open in the women’s restroom. One woman even offers to show him how everything works down there.

Unfortunately, while trying to steal a deep-fryer from a fast-food restaurant, Peter pours hot grease all over Lois and while she is in the hospital, Child Protective Services takes the children away (much to Stewie’s joy) because Peter is mentally unfit to be a parent. Cleveland takes custody of the Griffin children. Cleveland Brown, Sr. ...

Peter’s IQ Results.

Brian tells Peter that he just has to show that he is a good parent. Peter thinks that the best way to do that is to show what a bad parent Cleveland is, so he brings seven prostitutes into Cleveland’s house. This doesn’t work as the social worker sees through the plot and Cleveland orders Peter and five of the prostitutes out. A heartfelt plead in trial the next day also fails and Peter barely avoids imprisonment (the judge forgets prisons exist). Image File history File links FGPetarded. ...

Peter and Brian are at home lamenting the fact that the Griffins will never be a family again when Lois walks in. She is completely recovered and she get the kids back.

Censorship

• After Peter tries to get guidance from Joe on what it’s like to be retarded (with Joe telling Peter that he’s physically handicapped, not mentally handicapped) on the TV version, there’s a cut to the scene where Peter and Lois are at a restaurant. On the DVD version, there is a musical sequence (parodying "The Telephone Hour" from the musical Bye Bye Birdie) where Joe calls Cleveland (and other characters such as Connie D’Amico, Diane from the local news, Quagmire, Death, Mort Goldman, and Herbert the Pedophile) singing about how Peter is mentally retarded.
• Brian gloating over Peter’s lost bet with, “In your fucking face, fuckwad!” was bleeped out on the TV airings and on the censored track on the DVD, but can be heard uncensored on the uncensored audio track.

Bye Bye Birdie is a Broadway musical satire on American society written by Michael Stewart (book), Lee Adams (lyrics), and Charles Strouse (music). ...

Cultural references

• A non sequitur sequences shows a snippet of the play The Vagina Monologues. Unlike the actual play, it shows a pair of legs with no upper body with pair of panties giving a stand-up comedy performance. The panties have a pair of eyes and a mouth with a man’s voice. The performer mentions Jeff Gillooly.
• During “game night,” the neighbors play Twister, Trivial Pursuit, “paintball” (actually played with real guns) and “Two Decades of Dignity,” a fictitious civil rights board game that resembles Monopoly. Cleveland mentions you don’t win at the game, you just “do a little better each time.”
• After Peter shoots Quagmire, he says “Relax, Quagmire, you’re doing better than Peter Weller from the opening scene of Robocop.” Instead of predictably cutting-away to a recreation of the said scene, the show whip pans to Joe, Cleveland and Mort Goldman shooting the actor by the stairs in the Griffin’s house.
• A cutaway shows a “National Geographic special” on fire trucks. Peter is later attacked by a fire truck outside his house at the episode’s closing.
• While stalling in answering a Trivial Pursuit question, Peter arbitrarily mumbles the name of the superhero group The Fantastic Four.
• In a flashback, Peter meets Timer, “the Cheese Guy,” a character who appeared in the ABC network’s 1970s public service announcements on nutrition [1], who, somewhat ironically, is causing a Peter to stay awake at 3:30 in the morning because he is singing his signature song, which he claims to be doing because he “just smoked a whole bunch of crack.”
• Brian suggests Peter take the IQ test to qualify for a MacArthur genius grant. Imagining what he would do with the money from the MacArthur grant, Peter pictures himself “buying” television actress Cloris Leachman and forcing her to juggle beanbags. Cloris Leachman voices herself in this episode.
• Instead of a calculator at his MacArthur grant test, Peter has a See ’n’ Say, an educational toy for young children.
• The doctor shows Peter where his test results place him in terms of intelligence. His chart shows “Retarded” below “Average,” but above “Creationist.” The scene is a reference to a similar scene in Forrest Gump.
• Stewie compares the way Meg clears her sinuses to that of The Odd Couple character Felix Unger.
• When Peter says, “This is the worst day of my life,” Lois says, “There are plenty of people who have had worse days.” The show cuts away to Hiroshima, Japan on August 6, 1945, the day an atomic bomb was dropped on the city (which led to the end of World War II). Although several unfortunate things happen to the person shown in the cutaway (gets a parking ticket, he gets splashed with mud by a car, and a mandrill falls from the sky, with the sound of a bomb dropping, falls on his head and attacks him), the expected atomic bombing is not one of them shown.
• A cutaway parodies the 1985 movie Mask about disfigured California teenager Rocky Dennis.
• Stewie asks Chris “Whatever happened to Geena Davis?” This episode aired a few months before Davis, an actress best known for several 1980s films, resurfaced in the television series Commander in Chief.
• A cutaway parodies recent iPod commercials, with Stewie dancing in silhouette. The song in the background is the 1984 hit “The Warrior” by Scandal.
• Stewie watches the CBS Evening News. The show mocks anchor Dan Rather’s whistling intonation, likening him to a tea kettle.
• A voiceover counts the prostitutes Peter brings to Cleveland’s house. This is a parody of a Sesame Street segment.
• One cutaway parodies the crime drama Jake and the Fatman, showing Jason “Fatman” McCabe as too sleepy and distracted by food to solve crimes.
• The song that Lois’s tumor sings is to the tune of “Rock Me Amadeus” by Falco with all the words replaced simply with “I’m a tumor, I’m a tumor.”
• While Peter is defending himself in court, he lists off celebrities that have been exposed as unfit parents, specifically Bing Crosby (who used to beat his kids to a pulp) and Joan Crawford. He also mentions the Ramsey family.
