Possibly a Brother from another series?

Peter's best line ever, and one which I use on my wife...

Lois: Peter, are you hungover?
Peter: No, I'm just exhausted from drinking all night

Its from the Willy Wonka parody episode, which was on last night. It is probably my favorite FG episode. Though, Stewie's birthday episode with the "men in white" was a classic.

Stewie's Biography (bold mine)...

Stewie Griffin is a 1-year-old baby with a single goal: Total world domination. He has the voice and manner of an evil Rex Harrison, but he's only recently celebrated the one-year anniversary of his escape from his mother's "cursed ovarian Bastille," in which he was incarcerated for nine gruelling months. Stewie has vowed to defeat his mother's matriarchal tyranny and topple the "gynocracy" she rules.

Just because Lois has narrowly escaped several attempts on her life thus far (from a box of chocolates filled with active grenades to a barrage of arrows shot straight for her head) doesn't mean she's in the clear yet. Stewie might begrudge Lois a modicum of respect for being the worthy adversary she is, but don't be fooled. One day her uppance shall come!

In fact, if it were not for his lack of muscle tone, toilet training and his need for parentally provided sustenance, Stewie would have already gained control over most of the third world, including Canada. Until his dominion over all mankind comes to fruition, anyone or anything that interferes with his grand plan shall be destroyed. And if he can create a machine that controls the weather, what makes you think he won't be able to control you, hmmm?

Its on at 11:00 not 11:30. Set the VCR!

The best DUI instance in The Simpsons is when Homer get pulled over leaving Moes...

Cheif Wiggum: Where you coming from?
Homer: Moe's
Cheif Wiggum: What's Moe's?
Homer: (Voice in head... Don't tell 'em its a bar. Don't tell 'em its a bar) It's a pornography store. I was buying pornography.

Lisa is literally and figuratively a child, like most liberals, who wants to live in an unrealistic fantasy land funded by an increasing tax burden that would be impossible to maintain because those societal institutions that generate tax revenue would be long gone - either moved out or regulated out.

I present to you the episode where Lisa, and other "intellectual elites" take over Springfield to govern it as they see fit.

[Bacon Man]

This episode apparently offended so many people that not even FOX would air it!

I've seen the unaired episode. It's included in the 3rd DVD set of Family Guy, which I went out and bought as soon as it hit the shelves (I love Family Guy). I found nothing offensive about it at all, in fact I laughed my ass off. The episode revolves heavily around the Jewish faith, which I assume is why it was never aired. My fiance, who's Jewish, didn't find it offensive either. She was laughing as hard as I was.

I happen to love the episode where the children are taken away. One of the best ever. And parents have a right to not have a baptism forced upon their children by others.

Are the Simpsons Conservative or Liberal

A careful scrutiny of the TV images will show this is not only a fictional family, but are cartoon characters.

[richtig_faust]

They're liberal.

They show the average white male as a blithering drunk.

They're anti-firearms

They're anti-business (although I have to admit the portrayal of Mr. Burns is dead nuts on when talking about corporate --"corrupt" -- america)

[richtig_faust]

While I like the Simpsons, nothing ever made me laugh like Family Guy - talk about equal opportunity offenders! I thought that cartoon was brilliant. What other show had a martini drinking dog?!


Did you see the episode where peter takes william shattner to the "wurst fest" - I almost wet 'em I was laughing so hard.

[Phantom Lord]

I like how Adam West is the Mayor and is a total and complete wackjob.

[richtig_faust]

Yup!!

Damn that show is hilarious.

[Phantom Lord]

Bart: Wow, Dad, you took a baptismal for me. How do you feel?
Homer: [reverently] Oh, Bartholomew, I feel like St. Augustine of Hippo after his conversion by Ambrose of Milan.
Ned: [gasps] Wait! Homer, what did you just say?
Homer: I said shut your ugly face, Flanders!
Ned: Oh, fair enough.

[GSWarrior]

Speaking of guns, I got a kick out of Homer's "make-up rifle". Especially when it is set on "_hore".

[radiohead]

I started to comment about that one, but the post was getting too long.

[YourAdHere]

There was one episode where Lisa caught Principal Skinner stealing school supplies from a private academy, and his response to her was "welcome to Dick Cheney's America."

Then this past weekend's Treehouse of Terror trilogy had a gag where Professor Frink's father was thawed out of cryogenic freeze in modern day, and Lisa told him that it was just like the 20th century, only the economy stinks and people are more scared than ever.

Lois: Peter, are you hungover?
Peter: No, I'm just exhausted from drinking all night.


That is HILARIOUS! I gotta get all the DVDs.

The Family Guy is simply the best, most subservisive show on television. I have the DVD's and have heard that the ratings for Family Guy on the Cartoon Network have been terrific. Perhaps we should start a letter writing campaign to get them to resume production.

My personal favorite Family guy moment involves the "Sexual Harassment" training film from the 1950s that Peter is forced to watch...
