Trivia
This episode was the first appearance of Peter's future nemesis, The Giant Chicken; however, his real name, Ernie, is not revealed until later in the series.

Goofs
(at around 6 mins) The world map on the monitor spells out "Happy New Year", with the Y slightly misshapen. A few seconds later, the Y is not misshapen, even though one of the generals point out that it is.

Quotes
Peter Griffin: [laughs at Lois] You said "nuclear"! It's "nucular", dummy. The "S" is silent.

Alternate versions
Only seen on the original airing, there is a slight alteration when the aliens comment on earth blowing up. When the naked man comes out to see what happened, he does not have the anal probe and another alien comes out zipping the fly of his pants.

Best Episode Yet

To me this is the perfect example of Family Guy at its prime. It's a storyline completely divorced from reality and that allows for some really creative ideas to be presented.

So many amazing moments:
