Plot Summary
The episode continues where "The Thin White Line" left off, introduced with a fake "Previously on Family Guy..." sequence showing action-packed events which never actually occurred, with the only factual item being Brian's leaving in "The Thin White Line". To pursue his screenwriting ambition, Brian moves to Los Angeles, California, where he stays with his gay cousin Jasper. After some menial jobs, such as being a waiter and car washer, he lands a job as a director, but at first he does not understand it is adult film. His first work resembles Bang the Drum Slowly, save "the drum’s a chick."
Meanwhile, Stewie auditions for Kids Say the Darndest Things in order to unleash a mass hypnosis device, and the family goes to Los Angeles with the plan to visit Brian while there. On Kids Say the Darndest Things, host Bill Cosby grabs Stewie's device and unwittingly foils his plot. While hypnotized by Cosby, Stewie says Cosby's critically panned film "Ghost Dad was the best movie seen since Leonard Part 6", another panned Cosby film. He also says he likes pudding.
Brian makes seven movies, five of them are Add Momma to the Train, The Purple Head of Cairo, You've Got Male Genitalia, Shaving Private Ryan, and Welcome to My Face. The family tries to visit Brian's set, but Brian becomes worried that they will not approve of it, so he orders them to leave. Shortly afterwards, he learns that he is nominated for Best Director at the Woody Awards, the version of the Oscars for adult films. Jasper tells the Griffins the truth about Brian's job. Peter and Lois arrive at the ceremony just in time for Brian to accept his award.
At the end of the episode, everyone takes a souvenir home; as his souvenir, Peter has Jenna Jameson (bound and gagged).

Famous quotes containing the words plot and/or summary:
“After I discovered the real life of mothers bore little resemblance to the plot outlined in most of the books and articles I’d read, I started relying on the expert advice of other mothers—especially those with sons a few years older than mine. This great body of knowledge is essentially an oral history, because anyone engaged in motherhood on a daily basis has no time to write an advice book about it.”
—Mary Kay Blakely (20th century)
“I have simplified my politics into an utter detestation of all existing governments; and, as it is the shortest and most agreeable and summary feeling imaginable, the first moment of an universal republic would convert me into an advocate for single and uncontradicted despotism. The fact is, riches are power, and poverty is slavery all over the earth, and one sort of establishment is no better, nor worse, for a people than another.”
—George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)
