Okay, I did this last week and the thread dropped like a stone, but… Never let it be said I learn from my mistakes damit!

Another decent ep I thought, some good stuff:

“Her hair is falling out, she’s losing teeth, but man, her body is slamming!”

“I mean Caren Carpenter went to far, but I think she’s struck a good balance”

Ear sex!

Lois going “off” on vaginal sex was hilarious.

… why do I get the feeling I am the only here who still watches this show? …

I thought this was a good episode. I thought it was interesting, as a recent poll did state that teens don’t consider oral sex to be actual sex. And I figured where they were going to do it instead even before the episode aired when I saw the episode was titled “Prick Up Your Ears.”

Some other stuff I thought was funny:

“Rodney King of Queens”

The unnecessary _Knight Rider_ commerical break theme

Michael Jackson: “The kid in me likes the frosted side, but the adult in me likes the kid in me!”

Stewie: “Well, to catch the Tooth Fairy, I’m just going to have to think like a fairy.”  
Announcer: “If you want to hear Brian say, ‘Well, that won’t be difficult,’ text FAMGUY1. If you want to hear Brian say, ‘I’m not touching that one!’ text FAMGUY2. If you want to hear Brian say, ‘iArriba!’ and dance around a sombrero, text FAMGUY3.”  
…  
Brian: “iArriba!” (dances around a sombrero)

Did anyone notice if that was still Drew Barrymore doing the voice of Brian’s girlfriend? Is she now going to be a regular?

I liked the gag, but I actually was a little disappointed with Brian doing the hat dance instead of raking Stewie for the ‘fairy’ remark. Their mutual zingers are always one of the best parts of the show.

The overall storyline was OK. Kind of hard to go wrong with Lois getting horny; that’s always good for some laughs.

Where can I get a Grimace costume like the one they had in that episode. That scene was hot.

Yeah, Lois in the Grimace costume was awesome. The Griffins have quite a rich tapestry in the role play department.

Adam West’s cat-crossbow was funnier when the same thing was done by the crazy cat lady on _Simpsons_. Is Peter _always_ that dumb?

I thought hers was a catapault (trebuchet, whatever). Careful about maligning FG’s use of such tried and true comedy tropes as cats as ammunition, it’s not borrowing, not borrowing.

the Stewie in hysterics “Airplane!” reference was quite amusing as well, great callback to the Kool-Aid man again  
people waiting in line to “calm down” Stewie…; Chris, Quagmire, Cleveland, Mayor We, Jasper (the dirty old pedophile), the Evil Monkey, Peter’s “HMO” doctor, and Kool-Aid-Man

Adam We was wonderfly insane as always
