Family Guy 3/12/06

Okay, some of the recent new episodes have been falling a little flat, but this one is great so far.

I especially liked the “Better Off Dead” bit they threw in.
And Brian’s look when Lois was showing him the tooth marks… “I’m sorry, what?”

And the Wheel of Fortune bit at the beginning was fun, too

GREAT ep so far, firing on all cylinders…

Great Space Coaster
LOTR Arwyen and “Still Not King” guy
rips on various Disney films (Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin)
xelA kceberT (it’s the only way to get him back to his universe)

what’s up with Quagmire, AU Quaggie?

Kebert Xela. Nuff said

Adam West is in rare form this week, first the “xelA kceberT” quip, then the :you did it, damn you all to Hell" quip from POTA…

Monstre got there first. (Good ep, though.)

Mayor West: “You’ll thank me when nobody eats your brains…!”

Woohooo! I think tonight was the first time I got a reference on Family Guy that was pretty obscure.

Can a Mod please merge the two threads, or delete mine? thanks

yep this was one of the best new eps

Better Off Dead, Great Space Coaster, LOTR, Adam West had some great ones here as well

I only laughed once before the first commercial (Kebert Xela!). After that, though, it was really good. The more Adam West, the merrier, IMO. Plus, it’s always fun when Death stops by.

Threads merged, so that’ll explain some of the posting confusion above.

Which reference was it?

I think the best part of the Wheel of Fortune gag was when Peter was picking out his gifts from the showcase and he asked, “How much for the fat guy in the circle?”

“Um, that’s you, Peter…”

Isn’t that a gag about Wheel of Fortune from like the mid 80s?

Which was the funniest version.

The best part was that, after picking Z, 4, Q, Q, and Q again, he picked the Batman symbol and it popped right up like they were all ready for someone to pick that.

The Howard Cosell speaking Asian that taunts Peter to race, its from Better Off Dead.

Oh, definitely – that was great. And “Better Off Dead” is one of my all time favorite movies.

The LOTR Elvish language scene was fun, too – especially given that Quagmire’s long elvish line translated to… “Giggity”

from Better Off Dead;
(Lane Meyer is speaking to the French Foriegn Excange student, Monique)
“Now you see, here’s the point, two brothers, one speaks no English, the other one learned to speak English by watching the Wide World Of Sports…you tell me what’s worse, speaking no english, or speaking Howard Cosell?”

Anyone catch the name of this ep? My roomie insisted on watching the goddamn Sopranos and I missed it. TiVo will help me if I know the ep name. Anyone?

Funniest thing was the ceramic Dalmation. For whatever reason, Wheel of Fortune always had a ceramic Dalmation in the prize package.

“I Take Three, Quagmire”

They had me at the Baldwin joke.

“Eat up Stephen, you’re the weakest.”
