What about the other jab at Fox, with the Family Guy ad popping up on Tony Wonder's website? The exact same thing happens during broadcasts.
Man, this show has better (and subtler) insults towards Fox than the Simpsons ever did, probably because they actually have a reason to.

The Family Guy pop-up on Wonder's website had me rolling.

Boo-ya!
Great episode; Great show! I feel sorry for people who haven't taken the time to get into this - they really do "reward" the fans with subtle stuff. 22 to 18 was classic, as was the "Family Guy" pop-up.

From: City of the lakers.. riots.. and drug dealing cops.. los(t) Angel(e)s. ca.
from the article about wonder
Tony Wonder wows his audience as he emerges from a giant sandwich... with the flair and fanfare of Liberace.... Despite the oohs and ahs of the mean audience there was one disgruntled ex-magician who was seen doing some sort of chicken-type dance at fevered pitch. He was carted off by the police before this reporter was able to interview him but it is the view of the by-standers that it was some sort of protest regarding the use of chicken used by Tony Wonders’ staff.

What I don't get about that joke is, aren't sitcoms filmed a little earlier than two weeks before air date? The cutback was not that long ago. Did they reshoot scenes just to add that in? That would surprise me. At the same time, I don't see how they could have done it any other way.
Also, when Wonder stubbed his toe, and Buster said something like "That was disappointing, I was hoping for a graham cracker," the look on his face was EXACTLY like Lucille when she's disapproving of something or skeptical. That they would put in such a small touch is just brilliant.
Gotta love Mrs. Featherbottom with the 5 o'clock shadow.

"Why don't you just tell Tobias you know he's Mrs. Featherbottom?"
"Oh, no, I can't do that, he's the only one who will hand wash my delicates."
"Right, because Tobias wouldn't do that, anyway."
