Great, great episode. The peter-copter chewing up Joe’s lawn was perhaps my favorite part, along with “How do you afford these things?” Good to see more Quagmire, Cleveland, and Joe. I was beginning to worry they’d be stuck as background gags from now on. ---

I’m surprised at some of the ho-hum reviews this episode is getting here. I thought it was outrageously hillarious! When Brian cracked Lois on the ass (and yelled “YEAH!!” while he was doing it) I almost messed myself laughing! The scene with Stewie at the golf course was a riot too! I love that show, and this was a great episode IMHO. ---

> [@gonzoron](#): > > The peter-copter chewing up Joe’s lawn was perhaps my favorite part Yes, I liked it too, perhaps because it something I’d never seen before, yet there was something sorta iconic about it. Also liked “Bewitched” and “Kicked in the Nuts.” There _were_ numerous bits that went on way longer than they had to to make their point, which made me wonder whether it was a matter of comedic timing (“let’s see just how long we can let this go on”) or episode padding. ---

I definately think it’s a conscious choice. I’m a sucker for it. Makes me laugh almost everytime when I think the joke is done, but it just keeps going, I get in a second or even third fit of laughs. (“They can’t possibly do _another_ chorus of “Full-blown AIDS,” can they? … guess they can.” 🙂 ) A cynic might say it’s because the creators know the Peter/Chicken fight is one of the best-loved bits in the series by fans, so they keep trying to return to the well. But I think it’s just a signature style of the show… funny everytime. ---

Best AIDS song ever!\* I loved all of it. \*I never thought I’d say that after seeing Team America: World Police. ---

I laughed so much at the “Kicked in the nuts” bit, but missed the reference. Is there a reference I should know about? ---

I assumed the Kicked in the Nuts thing was a reference to shows like Punk’d where people are pranked. ---
