In _One if by land, two if by Clam_ (that doesn’t sound right, the British invasion one), as the group is experimenting with new bars: Peter: Oh my god, it’s a Lesbian Bar! All (watching something offscene): Oh… Oooohhhh… OH MY… eww… (everyone except Quagmire leaves) Q: _head thing_ Oh yeah. - Approaches two women, head thing\* So, you ever been… penetrated? Cut to him flying out the door halfway across the street. ---

_When You Wish Upon A Weinstein_, I believe: William Shatner is playing Tevye in _Fiddler On A Roof_: “A… Fiddler on the… roof. Sounds… crazy, no? But here… in our… vilage of… (LONG pause)… KHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN!!!” “The life of the wife is taken by the knife.” - Stewie When Lois agrees to go on a date with Quagmire, he says, “Giggity-giggity-giggity-goo!” “Huh. So _that’s_ what Peter’s penis looks like.” - Brian “I’m a man who loves his taffy. Mmmm… mmmmm… mmMMmmm… mmmMMMMmmmm… mmm… MMMmmmm… mmmMMMmmmMMMmm…” - Adam West There’re so goddamn many. And am I the only one that thinks Lois is hot? Good GOD, I’d love to do 'er. Too bad she’s only two-dimensional. Season 3 DVD set comes out this fall! Heh, all right… ---

When Peter first meets Quagmire on a Navy ship: Quagmire, shaving his privates: “Hey, does this look like a Q?” Peter: “Uhh…” Quagmire (swivels his hips): “How 'bout now?” Peter lectures Chris on drug use: Peter: “I only did drugs once. Things got waaay too real for me.” Cut to a live-action shot of somebody wearing a Peter Griffin suit (think Snookums from the Muppets). “Oh God, I’m freakin’ out!” ---

From “Death Lives,” wher Peter manages to talk Death himself into letting Peter try and fix him up on a date. Peter:…what if I help you get a girl? Death: Really? You…you think you could do that? Peter: Oh yeah! But first, we gotta get you a little fixed up. You know, get your hair cut, give you a clean sha- [Peter flips the hood of Death’s robe off Death’s head…revealing the back of a skull to the audience. A skull crawling with maggots. Peter screams for several seconds. As he does so, a snake slithers in and out through a hole in the in the skull. Peter flips the hood down again, and continues speaking, in a normal tone of voice.] Peter:-shave, maybe some cologne, the chick’ll be all over you! Death: Gee, you really think so? Peter: Oh yeah, absolutely! [Death turns to leave. Peter watches him for a moment…then doubles over, “sick to his stomach”] And then there was the “Genteel” moment in “Fish out of Water”… “Oh dear.” -“What is it?” -“I’ve spontaneously combusted.” -“Oh I\_am sorry.” -“It’s quite alright, I’ve grown tired of living.” God, I’d **kill** for a .wav of that scene. ---

They’re on their way to an Octoberfest festival. Cut to the midway of the festival. Two booths; one, “German Bratwursts,” is manned by a guy who looks like Hitler. The other, “Polish Sausages,” is manned by some ordinary guy. The Hitler suddenly runs over and beats the hell out of him and takes over the booth, then starts eyeing the next booth over… a Czech booth. ---

In “Brian Wallows and Peter Swallows” Brian goes to a laser concert at the museum, and as he looks around he see various couples hugging and kissing each other, followed by Mayor West caressing his own right hand while saying “Yeah, you’re a dirty little whore.” Later in the same episode, there’s a scene in a courtroom where the judge starts performing a marriage, and the “couple” is West with his right hand dressed in a bride’s veil. When the judge gets to the ‘any objections’ part, West’s left hand goes up, at which point he says “Shut up! You had your chance!” ---

In the one where Brian gets pissed off at Peter because of the Dog Show incident, somebody(lois?) mentions something about going back to the way things were. It then cuts to a cartoon in Black and White that looks like it was made in the 1940’s of Peter and Brian(well, 1940’s verisons of them) building a house and dancing before walking off into the sunset. ---

I second the farting in the glass bubble scene. I love how it’s not the main focus of the scene–which makes it even funnier. ---

He begins to do a sound & dance to distract the security guards long enough for his bag to go past the monitor. He takes his bag and leaves. OBL comes up and tries to do the same thing. \*\* I did see that, and definitely since 9/11. Probably within the last 3 or 4 months. ---

After the world ends, Peter eats a year’s supply of dehydrated food, because it wouldn’t fill him. He drinks a glass of water, tehn suddenly balloons up. Then says, “everyone leave the room, I have to poop. NOW.” ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Yumblie \* > \*\*Peter takes over Lois’s play and produces his own version of “The King and I” that completely changes everything. The play is finished, and everyone applauds Peter on stage, and Lois stands up and chastizes everyone for encouraging such filth and going on a tangent on what’s wrong with society. Stunned silence, and then for no reason at all Peter lets out a huge, long, fart, completely destroying the message and mood of the scene. \*\* And the very best line from that episode is: “You’re the worst thing to happen to musical theatre since Andrew Lloyd Webber!” ---

Great thread! I haven’t seen an episode in a long time, but my two favorite moments are: 1. Already mentioned by **Fnoonf** , regarding Brian and the mexican guy 2. Brian and Stewie are on the run (for some reason) from the cops. They are standing along a roadside. Then a bus passes between them and your view. After it passes, they are gone, implying that they jumped on the bus and escaped. However, then the camera pans just to the left and we see Brian and Stewie standing just a bit further down the same sidewalk. Brian says, “Hmmm…maybe we should have jumped on that bus.” 🙂 [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/favorite-scenes-in-family-guy/189091.md?page=4) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/favorite-scenes-in-family-guy/189091.md?page=6)
