Just managed to download it off Kazaa yesterday. My god! It was one of the funniest Family Guy episodes ever! (And considering how deliciously good Family Guy, it makes it one of the best TV series episodes ever, too). I mean, there was the Seinfeld parody (“She was a tickler!” “And you’re not stickler for tickler.” “No tickler for stickler.” “No stickler tickler.” “No stickler tickler.” “Sticklerticklersticklerticklersticklertickler…”) and there was “Tony Robbins HUNGRY!” but my favorite scene, and now included among my favorite Family Guy scenes with “You don’t even know who I am!” Benjamin Disraeli, “Tell your wife she can come to my place for some boomshakalakalaka, boomshakalakalaka, boomshakalakalaka, boom” wheelchair guy and “Dear diary: Jackpot!” Quagmire with the tied-up cheerleader, not to forget the chicken fight, was the one where Lois asks Quagmire for car keys and Quagmire proceeds to, eh, search for car keys for a good minute. I was ROTFLing, I tell you! Well, ROTChairLing, more likely. But still! That crazy Quagmire - almost everything he does is comedy gold!
Sigh. Why did they have to cancel it? WHY, LORD, WHY?
So many wonderful Quagmire moments, the series had… like “You had sex with two Filipino women… and a man”, or “You mean Taylor Hanson is a man…? Oh God… Oh God… I have all these magazines, and…” or the one where the Griffins searched Quagmire’s house and the closet was filled with Lois pictures, or…
My sentiments exactly. I saw this ep, acquiring it by…certain means we are not supposed to discuss here. My favorite moment was the Indiana Jones/Honeymooners parody.
I just got this from Kazaa about 30 minutes ago. I’ll check back in once I’ve watched it. Having found it, and yesterday having finally found episode 320 “European Road Show”, I now have all 50 episodes
One of the funniest moments: Ace Frehley and Peter Criss singing “Chatanooga Choo Choo”. I know they didn’t provide the voices, but I wondered if they saw it.
Meh, the show did start to get really bad. The first season was extraordinary. Not even the Simpsons ever made me laugh as hard. Almost every show of the second season fell flat on its face. After that Family Guy went on a hiatus for a while and it never really got back up to its first season standards.
They seemed to just rely on pure shock value. I was cringing at half of the Jewish jokes. Plus there would often be way too much gross scatological humor. I am tired of disgusting, stupid scat humor. It is not funny.
When watching the show I would alternate between busting a gut laughing and being repulsed. The two would cancel each other out so that I no longer really cared for the show. Such a shame, if only they could have made me an executive editor, then all would be well with the world.
Plus, why the hell did they change Stewie from an evil baby planning to take over the world to a foppish annoying jerk?
My favorite Family Guy moment, Stewie being born:
“Doctor: Here we are Mrs. Griffin, it’s a baby boy! And a map of Europe?..” The doctor then pulls out a map of Europe with notes on bomb placement.
I just watched the ep. I can’t see why they refused to air it. You hear worse Jewish stereotypes at least once a day on Nick-at-Nite, since they show 4 episodes of Archie Bunker. I liked the Vegas scene, and the cowboy named Mordechai, heehee.
Anyway, looking at these favorite Family Guy moments reminds me how oddly put-together the show is. There were a zillion funny moments, but it’s hard to place them, remember what episode they’re in. I have all 50 episodes now, and have watched most several times, but if I remember a Family Guy joke it can be excruciating trying to remember which episode it was in. With the Simpsons you can usually follow the joke back along a string of plot points, at least.
