9:00: Well, lets just forget we ever saw Allen Gregory. I’m sure it won’t be long for the air. Family Guy episode is about to start! I look forward to these more than The Simpsons. I hope it will be an increasingly rare “good episode”.
9:02: Nice take on the old “awkward one on one conversation with one friend who you usually hang out with in a group” situation. I like the clown cum/glitter moneyshot we see after Quagmire is discovered passed out, having choked himself out while masturbating to the clown porn. His sister Brenda and her boyfriend Jeff come to visit him in the hospital. Jeff is a woman beater… because that would be convenient for a plot device.
9:09: One of the many cutaway scenes in this episodes features an Iraq Lobster (it’s exactly what is sounds like). The manatees picked that joke. An intervention is staged for Brenda, and the cast encourages her to leave, with quagmire reading an impassioned plea to her. Jeff bursts in and breaks the news that he and Brenda are getting married, and Brenda is pregnant.
9:18: The segment with Jeff enjoying a Jay Leno monologue was pretty funny. When he didn’t like a joke, he slapped Brenda. Pretty funny and accurate send-up of the Tonight show, including a sycophantic, laughing black guitar player.
9:24 The men of Family Guy conspire to kill Jeff by taking him on a late night hunting trip and killing him. Jeff realizes what they are going to do and instead attempts to kill Quagmire by fighting him and choking him to death, and appears to succeed. Quagmire feigns death, using his daily auto erotic asphyxiation as practice to increase his choking endurance, and runs over Jeff with a car. The boys then fake a note to Brenda from Jeff telling her to move one, and also insulting her (to seem authentic). The segment ends with Peter saying that now he want to kill someone else: oooh! Mort!”. Always the Jews with FG.
Last Thoughts: Well, I said at the beginning of this episode that I hoped this would be a rare “good” episode. I don’t think this one qualifies as “good”. It definitely wasn’t terrible either. I enjoyed Family Guy more than the Simpsons; FG made me laugh a few times. This wasn’t one of the more memorable episodes of Family Guy; I can really see why Seth Macfarlane wishes that FG ended three seasons ago, it does seem to be in its twilight years. It is always sad to see once good/great things and people age and lose their edge, whether that edge be physical or comedic. 6.5/10
