LOVED this episode (Great Space Coaster! Yay! They even got the opening sequence right). One thing that got me confused, though–Stewie’s still breast feeding? He’s eating solids already, right? I mean, there was that one episode where he became a complete lardball (the one where Chris got conscious about his weight). I would’ve thought that if Stewie was already eating chocolate cake and ice cream, he’d be off the breasts. It’s not impossible, though.

Anyway, it was worth it to see that bit with Brian and Lois. “Take off your underpants!” Heh.

I’ve been eating chocolate cake and icecream for 30 years, and well, let’s just say I wouldn’t mind having a real life Lois around.

I loved when Quagmire asked Cleveland how he got out of his marriage. “You slept with my wife!”

The Batman symbol was the best part. I almost lost it when he said that.

And then they parodied the now gone shopping spree segment of WoF.

I loved Peter’s follow up when they told him HE was the fat guy in the small circle.

“Oh. How embarrassing.”

Plus the “evidence” of Quagmire’s death. Ninjas. Nazis. Pots/Pans Robots. Dinosaurs.

Nice.

Great episode.

I must have seen “The Great Space Coaster” when I was a kid, because that whole bit seemed very familar.

Adam We was in rare form tonight. More Adam We!

The “Dead Quagmire” video was good.

When Peter was “animating” the forced-perspective T-Rex eating Quagmire, he was also humming the theme to Jurrasic Park

wonder if [Old Glory Robot Insurance](http://www.robotmarketplace.com/video_oldglory_hi.html) covers attacks by Pots-And-Pans Robots?

Exactly. Killer gag. And a pretty strong ep overall.

I almost forgot how they convinced her that Quagmire was REALLY dead.

“I _said_ dead people soil themselves!”

That’s the joke that got me. That, and Cleveland the Black Space Nazi goosestepping up, “shooting” Quagmire, and then goosestepping off…while smiling the whole time\*.

\*In my mind he was smiling, being Cleveland and all

I loved the “Malcom in the Middle” bit. I’m glad I’m not the only one who finds lois shrill and annoying.

Frasier and Niles are also sometimes considered prissy and elitist.

The highlight of the episode for me was when Peter somehow obtained the foot from the Statue of Liberty. It starts off as a normal absurd gag, then he says “Whoa, whoa, wait a minute. Do you have any idea what a huge undertaking this was? This is the actual foot from the statue of Liberty. The amount of work and preparation that went into this, frankly, was staggering. Do you know how much this cost? $341,000. Don’t ask me how I got the money.”
