Default Family Guy Parody in Part 3?

I'm replaying "Lair of the Leviathan" and I noticed that when Guybrush asks Winslow to help him revive Morgan, Winslow mentions that it reminds him of a time when something happens. Guybrush immediately cuts Winslow off before Winslow can say what the event was. Is this a parody of Family Guy's famous (or infamous) use of cutaway gags for comedy, many of which start with a character saying something in a similar vein to what Winslow said?

I don't think so.

Then again, the "cutting off before flashback" is pretty used in some cartoons.

Family Guy uses the hell out of that joke, but the "that reminds me of..." flashback gag predates that show by probably a lifetime.
