> [@Good Egg](#): > > Also liked the funny comeback Brian gave to Peter,I forget it completely,something about she couldn’t open her mouth or some such. Brian said he dropped James Woods because he was bad at catching things in his mouth and asks why Brian dropped the teacher. Brian says “same reason” or something similar. It’s an oral sex joke. ---

Oh, I got that, I had just forgotten the words to the joke. I found this episode to be quite good. ---

What did the ending refer to? James Woods is put into a box, and wheeled into a large warehouse containing hundreds of other crates. Was this from a movie he did? ---

By the way, is Adult Swim still going to be showing the new FGs and ADs shortly after the original airing? I was supposed to tape these for my friends and had something else to tape instead, and I feel bad that I was able to tape the shitty Simpsons episode and neither of the actually entertaining shows. And the thing I taped wasn’t even any good, so I feel even worse. ---

I watched that semi-stupid other show between Simpsons and FG, and decided that 1.5 hours of TV was plenty and stopped! Crap! Also, I’d doubt they’d show the new season of FG on Adult Swim. Maybe after the season is over I guess. ---

There was a new American Dad, but Arrested Development has been moved to another night, mondays, I believe. Family Guy will be on Cartoon Network shortly. In fact, they’re paying to make the episodes. But not immediately, as Fox screwed CN over and agve USA first dibs on the reruns. ---

> [@Monstre](#): > > Didn’t they already use this one, though. I could have sworn I’ve already seen the “playing Marco Polo with Helen Keller” gag before, albeit not drawn out as long. Where did I see this before? I know it was recent. (And definitely a Helen Keller bit). FG did a Hellen Keller bit before (something about communicating in binary), but it wasn’t a Marco Polo sketch. (They did, however, do a “world’s worst despots” Marco Polo sketch.) ---

"I don’t like the creamed corn in this theater… …it’s too crunchy" Heh, nobody messes with Adam We, nice to see a TV star with a sense of humor about themselves… off topic, anyone ever see Adam We in the horrible MST3K experiment “Zombie Nightmare”, plays a corrupt town police chief "what do you expect from that _Batty_ old woman?\* ---

> [@Thudlow Boink](#): > > I watched the first couple of minutes of that, and it was enough to convince me I never, ever want to see it again. Oh good God was that a horrible piece of filth. I was too lazy to bother to find something else to watch between Simpsons and FG, so I kept it on Fox as I did soem stuff online. I really wish I could scrub my brain to rid myself of the memories of that show. It’s like every bad cliche from every sitcom ever! The even did the “white parents suprised by white daughter dating a black man.” It was RELLY edgy in the 60’s, still edgy in the 70’s, maybe a tad edgy in the 80’s, and the 90’s pretty much gave up on it being edgy…so why is it back?! ---

(continuing War at Home hijack) The one thing I thoguht WAS actually a bit edgy, and a little funny, was when the daughter proclaimed to be a technical verigin. :eek: Now, everyone I have ever known and talked to about this (which is a suprisingly high number of people) agrees that technical virgin is when a girl has had anal sex, but not vaginal. And possibly oral as well. I don’t think I ever recall it being used in the sense of “all the way to third base,” or “just oral.” It’s always been _maybe_ those two, but always anal sex, too. And anal sex on primetime TV is a little edgy. It’s the new…um…black guy dating the white daughter. :smack: ---

> [@Nonsuch](#): > > FG did a Hellen Keller bit before (something about communicating in binary), but it wasn’t a Marco Polo sketch. (They did, however, do a “world’s worst despots” Marco Polo sketch.) Yeah, I remember that they did a Helen Keller thing long ago, but a totally different gag. But I was thinking of something a lot more recent – it might have been another show, though. It was something really similar, because this one struck a real “deja vu” note, and I remember watching a similar scene with a friend and saying out loud at the time something like, “we’re bad people for laughing at that, aren’t we?” ---

I know what you are talking about with the deja vu Helen Keller bit. They showed that clip about 2 months ago as a preview for an upcoming episode. Figures it had to be the episode that i forget to watch. :smack: ---
