Wait, so if Peter’s dad is really from Ireland, then how was his ancestor that looks exactly like him a slave? Or am I missing something?
you’re looking for continuity in a cartoon?
Aside from Brian’s cop-a-feel it wasn’t a very funny episode.

I thought it was funny up until Peter searching for his father. I was surprised at how far they went with Peter crying out for his baby and Stewie’s obsession with getting hit.
You know what, I stand corrected, I agree with you Rand. I completely forgot about Stewie’s enjoyment from being hit. I loved his little fantasy involving Lois putting her cigarette out on his stomach.

Peter smoking crack was just disturbing.
I liked how Cleveland gave Meg a set of “Sister Sister” DVDs for her birthday.
Peter smoking crack was hilarious. This episode showed more emotional depth from Peter than we’ve seen in a while. (Then again, I haven’t watched the new episodes religiously, so maybe I’ve just missed it.)
Stuie into spankings? Dude…this was really wierd.
Am I alone in thinking that the constant hatred of Meg just isn’t funny?
Not alone at all. When they first came back from cancellation, and there were quick one-liners that showed Meg to not be the favorite child, it was amusing in a sadistic sort of way.
Then the verbal abuse began, and it was at best a little titter, but an uncomfortable one, and only on the most clever putdowns.
Then they ramped it up with physical abuse, and it wasn’t funny.
Now they’ve included totally ignoring her existence, when they’re not physically or mentally abusing her. And it’s not only not funny, it’s outright wrong.
Well, Family Guy has never been afraid to go through wrong to get to funny. But I didn’t see the Meg-hating so much in last night’s episode: they actually felt bad for forgetting her birthday, and tried to put together a party (and she actually had friends who came to it!)—they just did it as incompetently and lamely as you’d expect from the Griffins. And it’s not surprising that the attention would be diverted away from Meg when Peter crushed the life out of his (supposed) father. So nothing involving Meg last night struck me as over-the-top wrong—certainly no wronger than Stewie’s masochistic fantasies.
Stop on my cubes!
As wrong and twisted as it might make me, my favorite portion was when Stewie was recalling what happened when Mother Teresa ODd in his car.
Romp all my tubes!
