When Sideshow Bob is revealed to the local police, they consult a book of Amercian criminals. There’s a picture of Peter Griffin with the caption “Plagarism” and an picture of American Dad’s Stan Smith as “Plagarism of plagarism”. Good one. ---

We both ran straight from the show to post, didn’t we Mr Blue Sky? 😃 I ran faster probably, but you type faster and beat me! ARGHHHHHHHHHH!!! I WANTED TO BE THE FIRST! ---

I already posted it in another thread, so I win. But yeah, that and that last joke in the credits were probably the high points. ---

Yeah this was a pretty good episode. When I saw the previews I though “oh no another repeatitive episode” but it actually was fresh and had some pretty good jokes. ---

This was a really solid episode from start to finish. I especially liked Sideshow Bob’s sign with all of the laughing people on it that read, “You want Bart murdered when?” And I liked Homer’s impression of the Phantom Of The Opera: “I am the gayest supervillain ever! Beware my scented candles!” ---

“Kentucky? Here that means ‘whore’!” Being a Hoosier IN Kentucky, I laughed quite a while on that one. ---

Family Guy should counter with a picture of Peter that says “Funny,” and a picture of Homer with some variant of “No longer funny,” “Washed-up,” “Long past its prime,” or “Please cancel and put it out of its misery.” ---

This one definitely made me laugh more than most recent episodes. ---

They’ve already poked fun at _Family Guy_ before- in a Halloween episode where Homer clones himself, Peter Griffin was seen as one of the Homer clones. (Get it?) A lot of Homer smart moments here. “Well, what am I going to use the aqueduct for- delivering water to cities?” And Sideshow Bob’s family is an interesting idea. I hope they return in a future episode. ---

I liked the tolerance video in the beginning. I wish they’d done more with that. “Your geatest armor is your self-esteem.” ---

A couple of good facial expressions: the kids at the party that the Springfield cops shoot up and the goat when Bart is dancing with the old lady. ---

I wanna know how Sideshow Bob managed to have a kid if he didn’t take his prison uniform off. ---

> [@jrfranchi](#): > > Funny epsiode, but what was up with that goat. 😕 I took that to me that the goat was jealous of Bart dancing with the old woman, because she would use the goat for sexual pleasure on a regular basis (no, not felching)- oh wait, no, maybe she just milked him, and he felt a sexual bond with her because of it. I didn’t see the first half of the episode. ---

I didn’t see the first half of the episode. Did you really just say She just milked **HIM**? 😃 Well considering there is only one way to “milk” a Billy Goat, no wonder he was feeling jealous. ---

Well, I, for one, thought it SUCKED. But I’ve been watching the season 6 DVDs lately, so my perspective has been skewed by recent exposure to actual good episodes. ---
