Nitpick: It was Slow Ride by Foghat.
Lois: Why?
Peter: Time’s a factor, Lois!
Not that I don’t believe you (even though I don’t), but it’s always sounded EXACTLY the same to me. And the “dirty one” doesn’t even make any SENSE!
-Joe
Whether or not the dirty one makes sense to you, it’s definitely different. With respect to your challenge to the OP to tell us what his “virgin ears” hear, I’ll put it in a spoiler box.
There has been some confusion over Stewie’s solo line of “laugh and cry.” Because it immediately follows a music sting, “laugh and cry” has been mistaken for “effin cry” by both viewers and closed-captioning transcribers. Although a clearer recording of the line was featured during the third season, MacFarlane maintains the lyric has always been “laugh and cry.” Nevertheless, rumors flew during its ambiguity claiming that “effin and cry” and “laugh and cry” were used interchangeably.
From here.
Not quite. Chris was in Jr. High and Meg went to James Wood High, except at the beginning of the most recent season, Chris started at James Wood.
The theme song is beautiful. That should be enough.
James Woods, with an S. Named after the actor, who grew up in Rhode Island, the show’s setting.
My favorite *Family Guy * moment is when Peter starts his own country, and he and the cast of thousands sing and dance to MC Hammer’s “Can’t Touch This.” Also, I have used the line “bite the fattest part of my ass” on numerous occasions.
I don’t remember the episode it was from, but I recall one episode where Peter kept declaring “To the Petermoble/Peterchopper/HindenPeter!”, with each vehicle being destroyed in a spectacular manner (all of the vehicles featured Peter’s face on them too).
After the HindenPeter explodes, the parapalegic neighbor can be heard screaming “HOW DO YOU EVEN AFFORD THESE THINGS?!”
Norm McDonald totally rocked as Death.
My favorite? So many; I’ll say the Randy Newman singing after the apocalypse.
I’m sure I’ll think of one I like better as soon as I hit submit, but…
Meg is having a slumber party, and Lois catches Chris spying on them from behind the couch.
Lois: Chris! Go to your room!
Chris: Umm… [looks down] I can’t.
Lois: All right, finish up and then go to your room.
The Van Gogh gag is another that had me choking on my coffee, but it’s harder to describe.
After the outhouse tips over with Peter inside:
“Oh God! It’s … everywhere! It’s in my raccoon wounds!”
Gepetto drops something in front of Pinnochio and bends over to pick it up.
“Did you eat the last cookie?”
“Yes Pappa.”
“You know, if you lied I’d totally believe you.”
“No Pappa, I ate the cookie.”
“Are you sure? I mean, you don’t feel like lying?”
Also:
Doctor: You’re fine Peter.
Peter: Oh, so you’re hitting on me now?
Lois: No Peter, he’s saying you’re going to be ok.
Doctor: Can’t it be both?
Oh and my last one, I swear:
Lois: Damnit Peter, sometimes I feel like I’m arguing with a child!
Peter: A child Lois? Ok, if I’m a child what does that make you? A pedophile, and I’ll be damned if I’m going to stand here and be lectured by a pervert.
I like the swishy shark off Fire Island…
“na-na…na-na,na-…
I can see right up them shorts…
I’m gonna eat you now -
oh wait, I did have a big lunch…
oh, heck, why not…”
All done in the Fruity Shark Voice.
Well of course it’s “laugh and cry” even though TBS captions it as “effin cry”.
“And a nicely shaven…leg”
I’ve always loved this exchange:
Peter: Oh, okay, here’s another riddle. A woman has two children. Now, a homicidal maniac tells her she can only keep one. Which one does she let 'im kill?
Brian: That’s, that’s not a riddle … that’s just terrible!
Peter: Wrong! It’s the ugly one.
More recently, Stewie’s cranked-up speech while driving Quagmire’s mobile home to California was pure gold.
When Stewie farts and freaks out. “That was Me Farting…By Chopin”
Brian: Shouldn’t COUNTRY have an ‘O’ in it?
Quagmire: Nope
Los Fanny Bandits.
Stewie to Brian : How you uh, how you comin’ on that novel you’re working on? Huh? Gotta a big, uh, big stack of papers there? Gotta, gotta nice litte story you’re working on there? Your big novel you’ve been working on for 3 years? Huh? Gotta, gotta compelling protaganist? Yeah? Gotta obstacle for him to overcome? Huh? Gotta story brewing there? Working on, working on that for quite some time? Huh? Yea, talking about that 3 years ago. Been working on that the whole time? Nice little narrative? Beginning, middle, and end? Some friends become enemies, some enemies become friends? At the end your main character is richer from the experience? Yeah? Yeah? No, no, you deserve some time off.
And later while Brian is drinking a Martini : Oh I know it hurts now Brian, but look at the bright side: you have some new material for that novel you’ve been writing. You know…the novel you’ve been workin’ on? You know the the one, uh, you’ve been workin on for three years? You know the novel. Got somethin’ new to write about now. You know? Maybe a, maybe a main character gets into a relationship and suffers a little heartbreak? Somethin’ like what… what you’ve just been through? Draw from real life experience? Little, little heartbreak? You know? Work it into the story? Make the characters a little more three dimensional? Little, uh, richer experience for the reader? Make those second hundred pages really keep the reader guessing what’s going to happen? Some twists and turns? A little epilogue? Everybody learns that the hero’s journey isn’t always a happy one? Oh, I look forward to reading it.
Two of my favorites:
“Hey louis, I’m sorry, I’m suck at the office and so I can’t take out the trash.”
“Peter, the Caller ID says you’re calling from the kitchen. In fact, I can see you.”
Peter steps out of view. “Can you see me now?”
“No.”
“Okay, now I’m at the office.”
Stewie trying to sleep in a hotel room, but a drug deal next door is preventing him from doing so. As the deal goes on in the next room, he get’s increasingly irritated:
Dealer #1 “You got the cash?”
Dealer #2 “Yeah, you got the money?”
Dealer #1 “Yeah, let’s see the cash.”
Dealer #2 “No, I want to see the money.”
Dealer #1 “I want to see the cash.”
Stewie: "Oh for God’s sakes … he’s wearing a wire!"
Dealer #1 “You son of a bitch!”
Muffled gunshot. Quiet.
