i’m a man who loves his taffy

There's an Evil Monkey who lives in my closet
Tonight’s Family Guy was the best thing to hit television since they added Plinko to The Price Is Right.
I offer the following as evidence:

  • The Quagmire theme song
  • “Pretend I’m one of your children, Lois!” [pause] “Not Meg! Not Meg!”
  • Star Wars and The Goonies in the sewer
  • Mayor Adam We
  • The A-Ha video featuring Chris Griffin

  3. The A-Ha video! I actually cheered and clapped out loud when that started. Sadly, I know the friend I share the tapes with will be too young to get it.

  6. I will watch it. Have you been watching Robot Chicken? I started watching it because I discovered Les Claypool did the theme song. It’s part of Adult Swim which I’m sure you’re famular with 😉

  9. I am seriously so upset that I have no TV for the summer. I’m home from college for the summer, and I’m TV-less until I go back. I’m missing so much Family Guy!!! I’ll have to live vicariously through you Wil, lol. Ah, well. Hopefully someone from school is taping it for me and I can have a FG marathon when we get back.

  10. The A-Ha video was amazing.
    Robot Chicken’s “Napoleon Bonamite” was freaking amazing, too. Wow, wow, wow.

  12. I’m now so jealous. Here in the UK we haven’t got new Family Guy episodes yet. I’ll just have to go watch my DVDs.

  13. The A-Ha video was the best cut-away ever. That was my favorite video as a kid in the 80s, and to see them do that with it? Neo-Classic!
    “Not Meg!” Poor girl. Good thing Mila is teh HAWT!!!eleven1!exclaimation point
    More evidence: “Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhput it backahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh…

  14. I wouldn’t recommend anyone doing anything illegal or anything, but I’m certain that if you missed last night’s Family Guy, it will be up as a .torrent by Monday at the latest.

  15. True, the A-ha moment was some of the funniest television I’ve seen in a while. But my vote for second goes to Stewie with the plastic bag:
    “I ought to asphyxiate myself just to teach you a lesson! Here I go, just like that INXS boy…”
    Hehehe. What? Too soon?

  17. Absolutely true. It was capped off by being followed by the second best episode from the new season. The one in which Brian teaches English.
    I have to agree with another poster that the Asian (they were in Asiantown) Evil Monkey was the best. Albiet Adam We had me laughing out loud as well.

  18. My favorite moments were when the newscaster said “Scientific studies show that if your hand is bigger then your face, you may have cancer” and the other anchor brought her hand up to her face, and the first one smacked it really hard.
    childish jokes make me laugh, what can I say.
    speaking of children, my second favorite moment was when stewie was trying to put a plastic bag over his head, and he couldn’t and said “Either I’m a C-Section, or you’re wonderwoman!”

  19. All of the Mayor Adam West bits are awesome. The real Adam West is such a good sport.
    But the a-ha! video was great. And I loved the end of that bit, too: “Where have you been?” “I DON’T KNOW!!!!”
    Good times.

  20. I loved last night’s episode…The Goonies…Adam We…not to mention also a shout out to another childhood favorite, The NeverEnding Story.

  21. The “Take On Me” video had both my wife and I laughing on the floor, while at the same time admiring the shit out of it. Either they took the original video and substituted Chris in, or they completely copied the original video animation, which would be remarkable.
    But yeah, the TIE fighters, the Goonies, and the Neverending Story…Mr. McFarlane is definitely One Of Us.

  23. “Where have you been? I DON’T KNOW!!!!”
    That’s going to keep me laughing all week. I was standing in the shower giggling last night and my wife asked me what the hell was so funny. All I could say was “I DON’T KNOW!!!!”
    More giggling.

  24. I laughed so very hard last night. Although I must ask that we have moment of silence for Falcor… loved that luck dragon.

  25. It’s funny that you should call out last night’s episode. I generally like the show and watch it, but I was busy with other stuff last night and just happened to catch it as it started. My wife was in the other room with a friend who doesn’t watch much T.V. and I called them both into the room to re-play the beginning with Stewie and the plastic bag and the A-HA video rip-off. We were all on the floor laughing with the friend resolving to watch the show from now on.
    Between the A-HA ripoff and the Stewie-Plastic Bag, the grocery store sequence was the greatest opening to a sitcom that I’ve seen in a long time. Maybe ever.
    To the person who asked about the INXS reference, from wikipedia
    “A new INXS release, 1997’s Elegantly Wasted, had barely come out when Hutchence was found dead in a hotel room of the Ritz-Carlton in Double Bay in Sydney, the victim of an apparent hanging. The New South Wales coroner determined his death was a suicide, but some rumors circulated that it was an accident (perhaps while attempting autoerotic asphyxiation). None of the rumors were ever proven to be true.”

  27. The A-Ha video was one of the coolest things *ever.* I remember how cool that video was when it came out, and seeing it quoted in this contest totally made my night. 🙂

  28. I have to say this was possibly the best ep of Family Guy I’ve ever seen. I LOVED Stewie trying to get the bag over his head. The “My god you either had a C Section or are Wonder Woman” line made it all the better.
    Brilliant!

  29. And here I was worrying that I was the only one that really enjoyed it.
    The shows are getting more and more obscure, but DAMN they’re awesome.

  30. The INXS part was brilliant as was Stewies attempt to get the bag over his head and the Csection reference (though I think they explained Stewie’s football head a while back).
    But last weeks ipecac race was pretty damn hilarious too.

  31. That was the best episode of Family Guy I’ve seen in quite some time. Stewie’s diaper was so full that he hadn’t eaten in 4 days because there wasn’t room for any more! HAHAHA!!
    And the Quagmire theme song was absolutely hysterical! And it ends with “Let’s have sex!” HAHAHAHA!!!!!!
    I hope FOX keeps Family Guy for a long time-it sucked when they cancelled it the first time.

  33. That episode was the best thing! oh am I the only one that found it hilarious that right after the Goonies showed up Corey Haim was there too…
    Stewie: “Hey, Corey Haim what are you doing here, are you here with the Goonies too?”
    Corey Haim: “No, I just live down here…*picks up right and takes a bite*”
    hahahahahahaha! so funny! I loved the Adam We thing. ok I’m gonna stop now cause the whole damn thing was too funny.

  35. This happens EVERY damn time!!! I miss the ONE episode everyone’s talking about and now I’m completely lost. Dammit all!!! Well, it sounds like it was good. sniff. Okay then. bye.

  36. This was absolutely one of the best yet. Of course, it featured one of my favorite running gags… Chris’ Evil Monkey! Family Guy time is together time for my wife Barbara and I — something we can enjoy and discuss as a couple. (Gee… that sounds sort of lame when I put it that way, but the most mundane activities like watching TV are special fun when shared with someone you love — and so much better when what you are sharing is a cut above the norm.
    That’s why I love hearing about Wil at Home… Wil UNDERSTANDS the importance of those little moments.

  37. Love that A-Ha Video!
    And Thank God – I’m not the only “child of the eighties” who got that video reference….
    So needless to say I’m odds and ends
    But that’s me, stumbling away
    Slowly learning that life is O.K.
    Say after me
    It’s no better to be safe than sorry.
    Take on me
    Take me on
    I’ll be gone
    in a day or two.

  38. So good I had to make a ringtone of the Quagmire themesong. Sure, it’s annoying, but common…giggity giggity giggity giggity lets have sex!

  39. So good I had to make a ringtone of the Quagmire themesong. Sure, it’s annoying, but common…giggity giggity giggity giggity lets have sex!

  40. Man I love Family Guy but I totally feel like I’m missing out on all the good stuff since I moved to the UK. I do hope they are quick to bring out the Season 4 DVD once the new season ends!
