We’re halfway through and I’ve already seen five, maybe six jokes that were both hilarious AND offensive. I’ve always wanted to see a Sand People choir. ---

The only moment that made me laugh out loud was when the water hose shoved Lois against the wall. ---

The middle of the episode felt a little slow to me, but then was fun again in the Disney segment. A nice little Indiana Jones scene. And, “Michael Eisner! Quick, cover your heart!” ---

Wasn’t the “it’s clear sailing from now on for the Jews” joke lifted word for word from a _Simpsons_ episode? ---

Quick, cover your heart!” “You betrayed the shareholders!” What was the deal that Peter thought Eisner was going to get? I couldn’t hear because I was laughing so hard. ---

The Disney Rip was fun. “Ah Florida, just think somewhere in this state Jeb Bush is eating a live puppy” As usual some very funny gags and some very flat ones. Jim ---

I have to admit–between Herbert’s phallic nose and Chris’s testicular chin, I would have thought their kids would be a little more disturbing in appearance. ---

> [@Heart On My Sleeve](#): > > You’ve done your part to fight ignorance! I had no idea…I’m sure I miss a lot being kind of a pop culture dummy. Hey, I had to explain it to my roommate, so I wanted to be the first to explain it on the Dope, just in case. It’s one of my favorite musicals, and one of my favorite movies overall when I was a kid. ---

Seeing Soundwave was great too. In the Transformers cartoon from the '80s, he was second-in-command of the evil Decepticons, and a bit of a kiss-ass to evil leader Megatron – the perfect type to win “Employee of the Month.” I think this was the second appearance of a Transformer in Family Guy continuity, after the Griffins saw Optimus Prime attend synagogue. ---

Holy crap, I laughed my ass off at Brian being the peanut butter jelly banana. I’m suprised no one has posted yet saying “what the Hell was with that”, but since someone posted a link to it earlier, maybe they won’t have to. But somone still will. I know it in my heart. ---
