I thought this thread was about refferences that Family Guy has made, but I've noticed that a lot of people have listed scenes that aren't refferences to anything.

Yeah, exactly what I was about to say.

However, my favourite cutaway isn't a reference to anything (that I know of, lol)... it's Gary the No-Trash Cougar!

Hahaha, Xerus, the "I'm a tumor" song is priceless. Everytime I hear the real song now, I sing the Family Guy version along with the song.

"High-Trousers Theater" (or something like that) - a black and white parody of films from the 1930s, with actors talking really fast, and their trousers pulled so high, you can't see their faces
I'm pretty sure it's called Fast Talking High Trousers, which is very original of course. ><

The Family is rife with obscure adsurdist humor which is totally my type (well, one of my types) of humor...i didn't get into it for several years as i initially wrote it off as a cheap Simpsons knock off, until i finally heard so many good things about it that i checked it out and was pleasantly surprised!

Lots of amazing hilarious references...and i hate to name a whole bunch that have already been referenced... so i'll just throw out a couple that hasn't been named yet...

"pilgrims landing at Fraggle Rock"

"The More You Know"

their nod to You Can't do That on Television

...and those are just the ones that had me rolling on the floor that immediately come to mind!
