Untitled (FG cutaway gag)? Inside Family Guy (TV story)? Having watched around fifteen seasons of Family Guy, I can say pretty confidently that cutaway gags are not titled. This name appears to have come from the in-universe continuity announcer, which therefore is in-universe info, not the title of the cutaway gag. Unless if this has been called "Doctor Who Farted" officially, this needs a rename.
Talk about it here.
The Griffins do not appear in the cutaway gag so why do they have pages?
These problems might be so great that the article's factual accuracy has been compromised. Talk about it here or check the revision history or Manual of Style for more information.
Doctor Who Farted[source needed] was a comedic cutaway gag that was broadcast within the Family Guy episode Inside Family Guy. It featured the return of David Tennant as the Tenth Doctor. The skit was promoted by the BBC.[1]
The sketch was non-parodical, but as there was no attempt to portray genuine events within the Doctor Who universe, rather a humorous depiction of the Doctor Who series within the Family Guy world, this Wiki does not treat it as a valid source.
Synopsis
The Tenth Doctor has farted inside the TARDIS and tries to keep a woman from knowing.
Plot
Lois, Meg, Chris, Stewie and Brian watch television in their living room as a continuity announcer can be heard saying "we now return to Doctor Who Farted":
An unidentified alien race is destroying what appears to be 1950s London. The Tenth Doctor, having just farted, emerges from the TARDIS. A woman enters and says that they have to go back to the 21st century, but the Doctor refuses. When the woman asks why, he tries to waft the fart away, while awkwardly saying 'So, how was your weekend?'

References
- The cutaway is set up as the Griffins watching the show on TV in their living room.
- The woman tells the Doctor that they have to get back to the 21st century.
Story notes
- Family Guy obtained permission from the BBC to use Doctor Who. [source needed]
- The skit was subject of an article in the Radio Times and the official Doctor Who website. [1]
- The Doctor wafts the smell by opening the TARDIS door outwards, rather than inwards. This echoes a conversation between the humanoid TARDIS and the Eleventh Doctor in TV: The Doctor's Wife regarding the fact that the Doctor continues to incorrectly open the TARDIS doors inwards. Other such cases were seen in TV: The Ice Warriors, Time-Flight and The Eleventh Hour.
- The BBC previously held the UK terrestrial broadcasting rights to Family Guy from 2005 to 2015, during which it aired primarily on BBC Three, as well as BBC Two, thus sharing channels with Doctor Who and Torchwood. By the time Inside Family Guy aired, the rights had been relinquished to ITV, with the episode having its UK premiere on ITV2.
