What’s your favorite Family Guy throwaway gag - you know those random, little asides and jokes that really have nothing to do with the plot or anything else happening on the show. I love the bits about the Cookie Monster being in rehab and freebasing cookie dough: [![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/9C4-TsaNENo/hqdefault.jpg "Family Guy - Cookie Monster (HD)") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9C4-TsaNENo) [![]( " - YouTube") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tI-6uw6jE7g) Also there’s a bit in the first episode where Peter is in court for welfare fraud and out of nowhere the Kool-Aid Man just jumps through the wall, and then when everyone looks at him weird, he just quietly tiptoes back outside. Cracks me up every time: [![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/2iE4uEsaBF0/hqdefault.jpg "Kool-Aid Man (Family Guy)") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2iE4uEsaBF0) I’d also say the bit where Peter fights the giant chicken, but that goes on way too long to qualify as a true throwaway gag. ---

> [@Snowboarder\_Bo](#): > > WTF? That **is** the show. It’s nothing _but_ “random, little asides and jokes”. Not all of them. The October 10th episode had a fairly standard sitcom storyline (someone is caught cheating, hides it, mate finds out, they break up, they make up at the end.) ---

Pretty much anytime one of the family members bashes Meg. Always good for a chuckle. Not a running gag, per se, but this had me rolling: Priest: “You may now kiss the bride.” Peter: “KISS her? I’m going to DESTROY her!” ---

This is a great example of what Family Guy used to be, and why we used to love it. Brian: Is that a chicken back there? Store Clerk: Oh this? Yeah…yeah it is Brain: Does is squeak? (squeaks) Brain: I would like to purchase that, and then run home and show it to Lois. ---
