Peter: My dad worked at that factory for sixty years. That’s almost eighty years!
Scoutmaster: All right, all right, you’ve got three days to earn a merit badge.
Peter: Three days? That’s tomorrow!
Stewie: Stupid greedy savages!
Lois: Stewie! That’s a terrible thing to say. (Background fades out.) This one particular tribe has lost their way, but most Native Americans are proud, hard-working people who are true to their spiritual heritage. They are certainly not savages. (The more you know!)
Stewie: That’s funny, mother. Just this morning you said they were lazy like the dirty Mexicans. (Background fades out.) Ha ha! Just kidding. The Mexicans are a clean, industrious people with a rich culture heritage. (The more you know!)
Meg: Yeah, not like those dumb gargantuan Swedes. (Background fades out.) Actually, the Swedish people run the gamut from very short to tall. And did you know that Sweden gave us the brilliant inventor Alfred Nobel? (The more you know!)
Peter: Which is more than we ever got from those freeloading Canadians. (Background fades out.) Canada sucks!
Quagmire walks into the Griffin’s home and sees Lois naked. “Oh! Can I borrow a towel?”
The guys say which chick they'd like to be marooned on an island with and Quagmire says the Hanson kid. "Dude, that's a guy." "No, you're kidding right? But I have all these magazines and I ... oh my god!!!"
I like, in the episode where the family is on a reality television show, Stewie is talking to the camera, I think it goes something like this: “It’s not that I want to ‘kill’ Lois. It’s that, I want her to, not be alive. Women, they are all like that. Wouldn’t it be marvilous if I turned out to be a homosexual?”
i loved the one in “IF IM DUIN IM LYIN” when peter threatens to go on a hunger strike until they bring back on his favorite show gumble to gumble and he walks out of the office and says “this isnt the first time my apitite has gotten me in trouble” and it shows him in the secret annex with ann frank and all of them and the nazis burst in downstairs and it pans to him eating a bag of potato chip.
And for me, the episode with the kids doing ‘Toad’ is great because Gregg Allman has a cameo. I’m also impressed by the fact that Seth McFarland can sing and maintain Peter’s voice at the same time.
The conversation is something about how they just can’t understand their kids and the world has changed and all that stuff. A typical parent talk about how things are less wholesome now - as they get into bondage gear.
The Kool-Aid thing was from the pilot. I like to think that moment let us know what we were in for from this show.
Just watched ‘Screwed the Pooch’, and one scene still slays me. It’s Brian, as he’s about to get neutered for his puppies.
Peter: I’m not looking forward to what you’ll be like after this.
Cut to a morbidly obese Brian sitting on a couch with a box of chocolates, going “I looooooooove chocolate, but I can’t eat it, because then I’ll get fat - but it’s sooooooo goooooood!”
A lot of my favorite scenes have been mentioned, but here’s one that hasn’t (unless I was inattentive and skimmed over it).
It’s the episode where Gumbel 2 Gumbel gets cancelled, and Peter says Chris is dying to get the show back on the air. After claiming to have healed his son, Peter is worshipped as a god.
The entire “coming of the plague” scene is good. When Stewie’s bathwater turns to blood, he’s giddy and exclaims, “It’s like someone stabbed Mr. Bubble!”
The other really good moment is when Brian’s explaining to Peter how bad the situation is. The lightbulbs exploded, Brian has fleas, Chris has major acne, and the bathwater is blood. In frustration, Brian grabs Peter’s shirt and slaps his face yelling, “GOD! slap IS! slap PISSED! slap”
I love the part of that episode where Chris gets trapped under the gold idol of Peter, and says he can see the light, whereupon Peter tells him to go to the light!! Of course Lois has to straighten him out and say no, don’t go to the light :D.
Brian in LA. Peter is on talking to him on the phone and asks if he can come over:
“Uh no, I have a meeting with…”
Brian looks down at a pile of magazines searching for a person to fill in the blank. The top magazine has a picture of Val Kilmer on it. Not satisfied, he moves the magazine to reveal the next one with a picture of Kevin Costner. After pausing for a few moments:
“a meeting with Val Kilmer.”
I have no idea what episode this is, but maybe somebody can help me. They cut to Walt Disney drawing Minnie, and Minnie is obviously nervous, and Walt Disney says “If you want to be a star, you’ll do what I say.” Then Minnie nervously takes off her clothes. Walt draws her with great anticipation.
I think that was the episode where Peter and Lois were arguing about how appropriate it is for Chris to be reading adult magazine’s. I think Peter fell back on the ‘artistic’ defense, and it showed this scene you mentioned.
