Sometimes I wonder about people when they think certain references in Family Guy are original creations. Some of them are, but the majority is culture reference jokes.
For example, so long, farewell, arpiterzan goodbye! I might suddenly say that when leaving a place and someone's like "haha, Family Guy!" and I just have to wonder exactly how much of a philistine they must be not to get where that actually came from... I mean Peter actually whistled them in! How could they not at least think "that's probably from something"?

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
