I just wanted to add that I was glad to see Stewie’s momicidal tendencies back in full swing.

And that one of the biggest laughs of the night was when Stewie crashed his flying drill thing into the wall, and Brian popped open a can and sat down to watch.

yes  
“a picture out of Better Homes and Gardens Magazine  
Far from Skid Row  
I dream we’ll go  
Somewhere That’s Green”

> 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.”

What? Soundwave was never an ass-kiss. He was just a loyal soldier who kept his mouth shut and followed orders. Not only that, but he was also the only competent Decepticon in the bunch. Which would probably be the main reason he’d win Employee of the Month, rather than ass-kissing.

Pretty damn close:

_Family Guy_: “They say all peoples must go through some hard times. Well, we Jews are getting ours out of the way early. From here on out, it’s going to be nothing but smooth sailing.”  
_The Simpsons_ - s10e18 - “Simpsons Bible Stories”:

Millhouse (as Moses): “Well, Lisa, we’re out of Egypt. So, what’s next for the Israelites? Land of milk and honey?”

Lisa (consults a scroll): “Hmm, well actually it looks like we’re in for forty years of wandering the desert.”

Millhouse: “_Forty years_? But after that, it’s clear sailing for the Jews, right?”

Lisa (consults scroll again and laughs nervously): “Uh, more or less.”

And bounced coins off of it.

So what is the actual origin of the “Peanut Butter and Jelly Time” music? Is it just that random flash movie someone made, or does it come from something else?

I used to hear it on the hip-hop radio stations in Florida every so often two or three years ago.

Stewie’s reaction to Quagmire’s hand. Gold.

And this episode gives me new insight… Soundwave and the Decepticons are Christians. Optimus and the Autobots are Jews. The Christians persecuted the Jews for years… and, apparently, we were stealing their Energon, too.

I liked Quagmire’s definition of brown nosing!

You beat me to it! ☹

I had to explain to my TV-mates also. I got it instantly because I _love_ Little Shop.
