Kid: What? Kick them around?
Chris: Wait... yes.

Mayor West: (gets hit with brick and starts to bleed) My God! I'm a tomato!

Stewie: Did you hear that Meg? Guys can marry other guys now. So this is awkward but I mean if they can do that, that is pretty much it for you, isn't it? I mean you as well pack it in. Game over.

Peter: By the way Lois, I got a piercing over there. I'm not going to tell you where but I will give you a hint: it wasn't on my nose or my ear and it was one of my balls.

Chris: What do you do at a Young Republicans meeting?
Alyssa: We help those who already have the means to help themselves. Also, we perpetuate the idea that Jesus chose America to destroy non-believers and brown people.

Chris: But Brian, the bible says gay marriage is an abomination.
Brian: Oh, don't give me that Young Republican crap, Chris. The bible also says a senior citizen built an arch and rounded up two of every animal.

Mr. Pewterschmidt: Pah, gay marriage. Next thing you know they wanna vote!

Jasper: Guys this is Ricardo, from the Philippines and my Kitchen floor.

When Mayor West dedicates the statue of Dig 'em, he mentions he's the mascot of Sugar Smacks cereal.
The cereal is actually called Honey Smacks & hasn't been called Sugar Smacks since the 80's.

Brian doesn't seem to know what the TV show “Sex & the City” is about but in “Brian Does Hollywood” he tells Jasper “it's an all right show”

Peter: “Hey Jasper let me ask you something, when you're in the shower at the Y. Is that like Supermarket Sweep for you guys or is there some kind of etiquette?”

“Supermarket Sweep” is an American television game show that had 2 parts. The 1st, a question and answer section and the 2nd was the challenge of running around a grocery store madly grabbing at items of certain values to win the game.
It had several incarnations, on ABC (1965-1967), on Lifetime (1990-1995) & PAX (2000-2003).
The original ABC version took place in an actual supermarket, the other 2 took place on sets.

The classic cartoon character Popeye is seen completely unaware that his forearms, speech patterns & lazy eye are results of serious medical conditions

He is not gay as suggested by Lois.

Tom Tucker: “Some breaking news today when Mayor West announced he will sign a city wide ban on gay marriages next week. While controversial it has none the less distracted all of us from the Dig 'em fiasco”

In 2004, during his presidential reelection campaign, George Bush called for a constitutional amendment protecting marriage i.e. banning same sex marriage.
Some say he did solely to distract people from his invasion of Iraq since a year later he seemed to flip flop on the idea.

Tom Tucker: “... And now this. Look at that. In the 30's they used to call this an Uncle Spinney Dervish”

Tom Tucker actually is playing with a toy called a Whee-lo or Magnetic Gyro Wheel or Magnetic Gyro Fly-Wheel .
