Is it just me, or is this single episode going to push the DVD release up from a rating of M to R for coarse language? Not to mention the drunk kids and Quagmire method for breaking locks (I'm sure Reese Witherspoon would enjoy this ep too).



Seriously though, most hilarious episode in ages of just complete nostalgia - like a minute after this you have Stewie doing the whole song of 'Everything I do'. If you haven't already grabbedseen it, I suggest you do ;D

i doubt it'd pass MA.
a few f words won't matter.

A few? Boondock Saints had a lower FPS.

ahh we can dance if we want to, we can leave your friends behind

A TV show doesn't need anymore than 30fps.

It's like they're increasing the number of F's in the show to compensate for how random and crap it is.

Those Manatees need new ideas. That's all.

Ramsay is the only show where the increase in F words is also an increase in quality.

I thought the episode was average...

Funniest bit was Quagmire mentioning the newborn baby was already looking like she was 18.

LOL

Wrongest bit was Quagmire mentioning the newborn baby was already looking like she was 18.

Pretty sure they beep the f***s out on the DVD release as well as the aired version. This was obviously leaked pre-beep.


I honestly think the whole Manatees thing was a friendly dig at FG and I am sure the creators of both shows have mutual respect for each.

Both shows have their merits; I don't mind the randomness at all. But I guess people like yourself, infi, need a linear and safe plotline to follow, otherwise it all gets a bit too hard, amirite? Jesus Christ, loosen your tie and live a little, man.

does john howard look like he would loosen his tie and live a little?

Bingo!

heh, you mightn't think the dig was as friendly as it might seem from the episode itself (cartoon wars) coz in the dvd comentary both parker & stone say they hate family guy... which does seem kinda odd coz in the episode the dude that gives kyle a lift to hollywood says "sure family guys is just random gags but it makes me laugh... at least it doesn't get all preachy & up it's own ass with messages!" obviously refenencing southpark :P

southpark rules. imo.

I like both just family guy makes me laugh a lot more.

I loved the 2 and a half men dig. HILARIOUS. Ha-haaa.

South Park > American Dad > Family Guy

Episode was average imo

I got a kick out of Stewie trying to construct a song, talking through all the chords.

But yeah, thought it was one of the funnier Family Guy eps in recent times.

Fair enough. Would like to check that out. From the interviews etc that I've seen of Matt and Trey it's hard to know whether they are serious or whether it's some in joke or total lie for the sake of being obscure. It is kinda weird but I suppose inevitable that they would have a strong opinion on their "competition". They also had a go at The Simpsons with the "Simpsons already did it" parody thing. IMO The Simpsons is past it's use by date but credit where credit is due, it was a pioneering force in animation for a wider audience. I never take what they do overly seriously.

See, I can't really get into American Dad. It seems a bit ISWYDT type humour to me. Still, maybe cos every time I have thought "Ok I'll give this ago" it's the same bloody one or two episodes! The one where the chick goes to Burning Man or the one where the kid gets rich for some reason. Stupid groundhog day.

The last couple of DVD "volumes" have has additional audio without the censorship for most of the episodes though.

Have any of you old people even heard of futurama?

Also the venture brothers.

Yes, but they're hardly the same sort of absurd humour.

Venture Brothers is cool. Also Frisky Dingo, The Xtacles, Harvey Birdman, 12 Oz Mouse, Sealab 2021, Assy McGee, Metalocalypse, Superjail...most stuff by Adult Swim is worth a look.

I watched an ep of Korgoth the Barbarian the other day. Pity it got axed after one ep cos I thought it was quite good.

So when you say an ep... you actually mean the ep?

futurama is not funny.

Yep I watched the ep ;)
