> [@Sir\_T-Cups](#): > > One word: Shipoopi Wow…I thought that was universally hated. It went on too long, it’s a bad song in the first place, and made no sense for Peter to sing. Now, I know you’re all going “uhh…it’s a cutaway joke, it _supposed_ to not make sense.” But it _wasn’t_ ,technically speaking, a cutaway joke. It all happened “within the plot” you could say, of the episode. Peter got a touchdown and did a celebration song…so why was it a song about some stuck-up pris who doesn’t put out? I guess they were going for the “it’s funny because it’s random and makes no sense!” angle, but that only works in smaller bits, like the real cut away gags. But five minutes of a God-awful song? Ugh, I’ll pass. ---

> [@fusoya](#): > > Peter, talking in his sleep: ooooh Jenny. Jenny! Oh, Richard Jeni, your HBO comedy specials have brought laughter to millions. Right there Jeni, that’s where I like it. > Not so much the line itself, but the way that Lois’s expression changes from anger to relief to shock. I forget what episode that’s from, but it was a cutaway to something about Peter talking in his sleep… That one was just on tonight. It’s the one where the Drunken Clam gets sold and turned into a British pub, with Stewie’s “My Fair Lady” side story (“One if by Clam, Two if by Sea”). [QUOTE=Family Guy] _Chris_: Mom, I’m afraid if I fall asleep, the hurricane’s gonna sneak up on me and give me a vasectomy. _Peter_: Relax, Chris. Nothing bad ever happens when you’re asleep. In fact, sometimes good things can happen. (Cut to a scene of Peter and Lois lying in bed together. Peter is sleeping.) _Peter_: Oh, Jeni. Jeni. (Lois opens her eyes.) Oh, yeah, Jeni, don’t stop. (Lois sits up in bed and glares at Peter.) Oh, Richard Jeni, your HBO comedy specials have brought pleasure to millions. (Lois smiles, lies down and closes her eyes.) And what a sweet ass. (Lois snaps her eyes open.) [/QUOTE] ---

When they put the whole damn song in, however, I think groups of FG fans were gathering torches and rakes and looking up Seth Mcfarlane’s house on Google Street View. ---

I saw that part, but I had no idea what the hell they had been talking about until seeing it again in reruns. I don’t know if it was funnier that way or not. ---

Damned if I can find the clip, but Brian mentions the time “Peter ran over that cat.” Cut to a theatre, where the musical “Cats” is being performed, and Peter’s station wagon crashes through the back of the stage, crushing one of the dancers. Also: PETER: Brian! There’s a message in my Alpha-Bits! It says, “Ooooo!” BRIAN: Peter, those are Cheerios. ---

> [@pancakes3](#): > > i love the vaudeville bits. especially the latest one where the two are in hell. Johnny liked little boys… For a show that has a pedophile as a recurring character, that line still made me go :eek: (not in a dirty way you pervs!) ---

How about the bit where Brian runs over a guy and Brian runs out and says, “Oh my God. Are you Steven King?”. The guy says, “No I’m Dean Koontz”. Brian gets back in the car and backs the car over him. ---

Clearly, it’s not _universally_ hated. I loved it myelf. And obviously, I’m a part of the universe. Because I interact with the universe (as evidenced by my posting to this board). Were I not a part of the universe (and yet able to interact with it), that would make me Go– _Hey! You there! Stop that masturbating this instant, or this kitten gets it!_ ---

Ugh, I’ll pass. I like Shipoopi. Isn’t the joke that he has been specifically told by the team captain (?) ‘No Showboating!’ when he gets a touchdown, but ignores this and does a ridiculously annoying drawn-out show-tune the very next time? ---
