“Same question, except at Jo-Anne Fabrics.”

“Oh god!”

And the part with Mayor Adam West and the shouting. Can’t forget that part.

Would this version have been called “Dueling Butt Burps”?

My wife has been watching the show with me since it came on and just this summer found out Adam West was a real person who was voiced by ADAM WEST.

She didn’t watch much tv or go to the movies until we got married, so Adam West was a bit outside of her frame of reference. I mean, she knew there was a campy Batman show from the 60s but knew nothing about it.

After discovering that he was a real person, she realized that there was more humor to his “character” than she had thought.

“Meanwhile, under Meg’s bra!” The voice was spot-on, and that’s a hard voice to imitate.

“A Pat on the Head’s Just the Same!” is the cruelest version of “Let’s Just Be Friends” I have ever heard.

Pter: To do what?

Family: Hahahahahahaha  
Stewie: (after finishing laughing) Oh, someone’s going to have to explain that to me later.

The beginning sounds like “Dueling Banjos”, but not the end. It’s vaguely ragtime-ish, but I can’t place it.

Sorry can’t help you re: the clip.

Now, for once in my life I have been to busy to watch, and I really regret that fact. Can some one please spoil the plot(Within a spolier box, please), and/or key moments for me?

Oh god, how could I forget “Hurricane RuPaul”? And I think as the episode aired, we were up to R for the year for hurricanes too.

[spoiler]Peter goes fishing in a notoriously dangerous spot with Quagmire, Cleveland and Joe. His boat is swamped by a hurricane (the guys cling to a raft mad of Quagmire’s sex dolls, where Peter survives by eating Joe’s legs) and he and the guys eventually reach an island. Back in Quahog, Peter is assumed to be dead; when he is eventually rescued and returns home, he discovers Lois has remarried … to Brian.

Lois is torn between her promise to Brian and her desire to resume her relationship with Peter. She eventually begins cheating on Brian with Peter. (She distracts Brian—whose appeals to consummate their marriage she has so far resisted—by offering him a tennis ball.) Brian is about to confront her when he overhears her tell Peter that she cannot bear to go on deceiving Brian, and is going to end her and Peter’s affair. Brian then tells Lois he doesn’t think their relationship is “working out,” and things go back to the way they were. Brian then learns he was _one day away_ from getting some from Lois, and goes down to the basement to, uh, deal with his frustration …[/spoiler]

It still amuses. She’s talking about doing a _dog_, and the FCC is hyperventilating about Janet Jackson’s breast!

The clip sounded a lot like Scott Joplin…it’s not the Maple Leaf Rag, is it?

I think it sounds like “generic _Dueling Banjos_-like music that is very close but not quite _Dueling Banjos_ so they can’t sue us.”

Is it just me, or was the old pervert WAY more unstettling than usual? I thought it was funny as hell, but I had to shudder and avert my eyes near the end of the gag.
