That's because Family Guy has covered just about every joke/reference/gag it possibly can at this point. I mean I've had entire e-mail chains going with like 15 different, random topics throughout that I've responded to with only Family Guy youtube clips.

So it's hard not to think of Family Guy when he does...well, anything (a) because he's the creator and (b) because that show has covered an insane amount of ground in the ~13 years it's been around.
