I’ve been going through episodes of Family Guy - not methodically, but by using best episode lists. I was introduced to FG through their well-known Star Wars parody episodes. I didn’t know the FG characters at that time, but found it hilarious all the same. I thought they did a great job digging at all the inconsistencies and absurdities of Star Wars while also making it an affectionate homage.

As I’ve gone through more FG I see they’ve done many, many movie parodies. Some in short cutaway clips, others that last all or some part of an episode. I think many of them have been really funny:

Shawshank Redemption

Terminator 2:

Dirty Dancing:

I can find some lists of parody episodes, but what do we on the SD think are some of the better ones? I want to see more.

One of my fav episodes is the one where different directors’ take on Peter Gets Fired. As we go through Quentin Tarantino, Wes Anderson, and Michael Bay, each parody gets better than the one before.

The first in the Peter Gets Fired episode. Since my adding YouTube links is hit or miss here, I hope others’ll add them too!
