When word of their submission to the tough guys somehow gets out to all of Quahog, a male aircrew member refuses to follow Quagmire's orders and prefers to take orders from the co-pilot, Bonnie will not have sex with Joe causing him to call his male nurse Elton to carry him to the couch in the manner of An Officer and a Gentleman as he puts on a naval officer's cap in a role reversal, and Chris usurps Peter's position as the man of the house and has the entire family sit in Papasan chairs.
Peter refuses to give up and goes into a tirade about life events that went on while sitting at his booth including his children being conceived there and witnessing the Space Shuttle Challenger explosion, the 9/11 attacks and Barack Obama being elected President of the United States.
The brutes reveal that they are soldiers who are only visiting Quahog and will be deployed to Afghanistan, which earns them applause from the Drunken Clam's patrons where Seamus uses Mort's head to salute them.
Club gave the episode a C− saying "Throughout these reviews, I’ve often noted (probably excessively) that for a while now, the best part of Family Guy has been the relationship between Stewie and Brian.
Tonight, Family Guy leans hard on the Brian-Stewie relationship and silly, unnecessarily “shocking” sources of comedy as Brian gives Stewie herpes, something that manages to be a totally run-of-the-mill, boring installment of the show.
This made it the most watched show on Animation Domination that night, beating American Dad!, Bob's Burgers and The Simpsons.
