Well, of _course_ Stewie is possessed by Satan! Duh! Even a Texas TV newscaster could have told you that.

What’s the slang term “motorboat” mean (as mentioned by the straight figure skater when admiring the judge’s rack)?

I was a huge fan at one time, but the show’s been slowly losing me for a few months now. I think this episode may have broken the camel’s back. I chuckled once or twice, but I shuddered in distaste far more often.

Eh, the show lost me once it came back the third time (season four was it?).

Sure, I’ve lauged a few times when I catch it, but it just seems a lot dumber and cruder now.

Depicting Jesus as a paedophile? Pretty ballsy- especially for a show seen on Sunday 😉 .

“It’s Enrico Palazzo”- great line.

Twenty minutes bashing Texas and conservative people. Gee, how refreshing. Never heard _that_ angle before.

It’s like Billy-freakin-Jack as written by manatees. (Well, manatees with a taste for slapstick. I’ll give 'em that, _tovarichi._)

Is that the scene where Stewie sees Jesus taking a sudsy, stand-up bath? I didn’t think that was a paedophile joke; I thought it was a take-off of the bathing scene in the movie _Witness_

I haven’t seen the movie, but at the very end, it is implied that suds are covering the groin, and when he sees Stewie he uses the sponge to wash the suds away.
