Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaWhen Stewie is getting on the plane while Brian sees him from the airport window he puts his arms up and makes 2 'v's with his hands which is the same pose Richard Nixon did when he was getting on a plane after resigning from the Presidency.
- GoofsLois doesn't recognize Gene Simmons with his Kiss makeup on, but when she sees him without his makeup, she recognizes him as an old friend and calls him Chaim. Although Chaim Witz was indeed Gene Simmons' birth name, he changed it when he was a boy to Eugene Klein (later Gene Klein, and finally Gene Simmons). Most likely, Lois was not even born when Simmons went by the name Chaim Witz, and would only have known him by a later name, especially when she was old enough to have slept with him, as she claims to have done.
- Quotes
[Brian and Stewie are on a German tour bus]
German Tour Guide: You vill find more on Germany's contributions to ze arts in ze pamphlets ve have provided.
Brian Griffin: Yeah, about your pamphlet... uh, I'm not seeing anything about German history between 1939 and 1945. There's just a big gap.
German Tour Guide: Everyone vas on vacation. On your left is Munich's first city hall, erected in 15...
Brian Griffin: Wait, what are you talking about? Germany invaded Poland in 1939 and...
German Tour Guide: We were invited. Punch vas served. Check vit Poland.
Brian Griffin: You can't just ignore those years. Thomas Mann fled to America because of Nazism's stranglehold on Germany.
German Tour Guide: Nope, nope. He left to manage a Dairy Queen.
Brian Griffin: A Dairy Queen? That's preposterous.
German Tour Guide: I vill hear no more insinuations about the German people. Nothing bad happened. Sie werden sich hinsetzen. Sie werden ruhig sein. Sie werden nicht beleidigen Deutschland!
[You will sit down. You will be calm. You will not insult Germany!]
German Tour Guide: [throws his hand up in a Hitler salute]
Brian Griffin: ...uh, is that a beer hall?
German Tour Guide: Oh yes, Munich is renowned for its historic beer halls.

New episodes are just not so good, but cast your mind back to the year two thousand and two.
Like the initial 'Road to...' episode, this has the required show tunes à la Crosby, Hope and Lamour.
The story is captivating as it cycles back and forth between Brian and Stewie's transcontinental journey and Peter and Lois' journey to a KISS festival without becoming too stale.
I love how the Mother Maggie actress proves that looks can be deceiving by being overwhelmingly rude to Stewie: 'p*** off, you grotty little w***er!'
Anyway, even if you don't laugh much, it's good entertainment from the good old days of FG.
