Galileo908 May 4, 2015 Share May 4, 2015 This was episode #250 and they needed a celebrity cameo, I guess. Link to comment
ganesh May 4, 2015 Share May 4, 2015 I thought they were going to do a big chicken style fight, but I was glad that Peter got beat bad. I mean, it's Neeson. I liked the parade of Quagmire's conquests. Link to comment
OnceSane May 4, 2015 Share May 4, 2015 Yeah, I would have thought Quagmire reached his 1,000 mark years ago considering he's in his 60s. Then again, he ain't Wilt Chamberlain, so who knows? Peter getting his ass kicked was the best part. Link to comment
TVSpectator May 6, 2015 Share May 6, 2015 (edited) In the first time for this season, I caught this episode (because it was their 250th) and I really did enjoy seeing Liam Neeson kicking Peter's ass. For some reason it felt so satisfying (other than the fact that, for some reason, I found Peter being one giant ass, more so than he usually is and it was good seeing him being handed his ass). Now, like someone mentioned above, it wasn't as satisfying as seeing Meg handing Peter his ass, but still satisfying. Also, I was happy that the writers just left it at that and didn't have Peter win the fight in some other way. As with Stewie's and Lois, story, well at least Lois wasn't a total bitch.

Galileo908 May 18, 2015 Share May 18, 2015 Well my parents just got back from the Bahamas and...it was a bit more pleasant than this. The whole twist that the whole thing was staged? Futurama did this. Link to comment
Ubiquitous May 18, 2015 Share May 18, 2015 As soon as that happened, I knew it was staged. Link to comment
OnceSane May 18, 2015 Share May 18, 2015 Ditto. That was an okay season finale, nothing special or even particularly interesting. Link to comment
ganesh May 19, 2015 Share May 19, 2015 I thought there were some funny moments, but the b plot was more entertaining. Link to comment
Twilight Man May 23, 2015 Share May 23, 2015 (edited) The whole twist that the whole thing was staged? Futurama did this. Peter: Look, it's a plane. Quagmire: Peter, tell me you're not going to grab the flare gun, like Homer did Peter: Um...... Quagmire: and tell me you're not going to aim right at the plane, like Homer did Peter: Ummmmmm.......... Quagmire: And tell me the plane isn't going to blow up. Tell me that isn't going to happen, Peter. Peter: Ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmm..................OK. Quagmire: You are so going to do that, aren't you??? Peter: Yep. Quagmire: (sigh) Sometimes I think Gilbert Gottfried was right. You really can't take a dump without watching Homer Simpson do it first. Edited May 23, 2015 by Twilight Man Link to comment

speedroc June 13, 2015 Share June 13, 2015 This is up there with my favorites (many of which are mentioned up thread) of all time. 1 Link to comment
OnceSane September 8, 2015 Share September 8, 2015 Quote Stewie is diagnosed with ADD and prescribed Adderall, which Brian takes to write a 2000-page proposal to pitch to author George R.R. Martin at a book convention. Meanwhile, Quagmire and Peter compete, Iron Chef-style, to determine which of them gets to keep his new cooking show. Link to comment
OnceSane September 8, 2015 Share September 8, 2015 The guys go to an asylum seeking inspiration for a new horror movie idea, but end up accidentally killing a man they think is keeping them hostage. Wracked with guilt, they each try to pin the murder on someone else. Meanwhile, Stewie is on a mission to destroy Brian's glasses because he's annoyed by how pretentious Brian's been acting when he wears them. Link to comment
ari333 September 26, 2015 Author Share September 26, 2015 I love Iraq Lobster!! And I also laugh at that peanutbetter jelly time although that was not really a musical per se. Link to comment
Galileo908 September 28, 2015 Share September 28, 2015 This actually aired tonight (9/27). I actually laughed a lot at drugged up Stewie. And when the "Real" George R.R. Martin showed up. Link to comment
Spartan Girl September 28, 2015 Share September 28, 2015 I would have loved it if it was revealed that Meg convinced Brian to take the pills on purpose because she KNEW it would screw him up. Link to comment
Twilight Man September 28, 2015 Share September 28, 2015 Her once-a-season in-the-limelight episode isn't due for several weeks yet. Put come back at a later time. Thank you. 4 Link to comment
OnceSane September 28, 2015 Share September 28, 2015 Drugged up Stewie should have had more play, I still don't GAF about Brian. At least this was one time Peter realized how he fucked up, too bad it only seems to happen when it's someone not named Meg. Link to comment
ShadowSixx September 29, 2015 Share September 29, 2015 This episode was okay for the season premiere. I enjoyed Stewie the most in the episode, especially when he said to Lois, "Why do you feel the need to narrate every little thing you do." That was too funny. If Seth wants to kill off Brian again, make it permanent. He is one of the most annoying characters on FG. 1 Link to comment
OnceSane September 29, 2015 Share September 29, 2015 For Father's Day, the guys locate Joe's estranged dad, but when Joe tells them the man can't deal with people who have disabilities, Peter pretends to be Joe. Meanwhile, Stewie's doctor tells him that, height-wise, he'll never grow past 5'11", so he begins to pal around with Tiny Tom Cruise to fully comprehend how it must feel to be a short person.

cheatincheetos September 29, 2015 Share September 29, 2015 When GRR Martin told Brian that his idea was just a pill-fueled mishmash of fantasy and scifi cliches, I thought that was going to lead into a slam on the Game of Thrones franchise. Link to comment

ganesh September 30, 2015 Share September 30, 2015 I thought that was the point. Brian's space whatever was 100% GOT, and it was Fake!GRRM that called it garbage. Maybe a little to subtle if you don't watch GOT. I'm sort of surprised that they got away with "free muff." Link to comment
immortalfrieza September 30, 2015 Share September 30, 2015 (edited) I would have loved it if it was revealed that Meg convinced Brian to take the pills on purpose because she KNEW it would screw him up. That would have been funny, but it was just nice to have Meg actually appear in an episode that wasn't centered around her without something ridiculously horrible happening to her that the writers somehow think we're supposed to find funny. OT: As usual, an episode that focuses mostly on Brian and Stewie is actually worth watching, but the other plot actually wasn't half bad either for once. Drugged up Brian and Stewie worked well enough as a plot device and a stab at child medications, not a lot of laughs in the episode but the plots were good enough that I didn't really care. Tune in next week when we'll have a bizarre not funny episode that goes out of it's way to make we the viewers all hate the entire cast. BTW, since this is actually the first episode of the season aired and Peternormal is actually the fourth shouldn't they be relabeled? Edited September 30, 2015 by immortalfrieza Link to comment
OnceSane September 30, 2015 Share September 30, 2015 I'm changing them now, though this was originally billed as the second episode and Peternormal as the premiere. Link to comment
ganesh October 1, 2015 Share October 1, 2015 I liked how Brian's tail was wagging constantly. Link to comment
OnceSane October 1, 2015 Share October 1, 2015 Steele doesn't like Brian's stand-up comedy jokes, so the two of them fight. To get back at Brian and make him jealous, Stewie builds a robot friend. But when the robot outsmarts Stewie and dumps him, Brian and Stewie reunite. Meanwhile, Lois force a Peter to get a new mattress. Link to comment

Galileo908 October 5, 2015 Share October 5, 2015 For some reason I like how Quagmire's dad is the only woman he can't stand being with. And somehow this show got Tom Cruise to be in an episode. I actually liked his plot. "You know, if I couldn't talk and you were a normal baby, we probably wouldn't have these problems." I like it when Brian gets meta. 1 Link to comment
Spartan Girl October 5, 2015 Share October 5, 2015 (edited) "You know, if I couldn't talk and you were a normal baby, we probably wouldn't have these problems." I like it when Brian gets meta.Best quote of the night. Runner up goes to: "Nobody runs from Tiny Tom Cruise!" "Yeah, except all three of your wives."Was that really Tom Cruise doing the voice or someone else? It was a pretty funny episode, other than Peter being a dick and Lois' usual attitude about Meg's birthday. Edited October 5, 2015 by OnceSane 2 Link to comment
TVSpectator October 5, 2015 Share October 5, 2015 (edited) Does this mean that Stewie now has a celebrity villain, like Peter had with James Woods? Also, I found the whole Tom Cruise being caught in a Zappo shoe box similar to how Peter and Brian caught James Woods. Was that really Tom Cruise doing the voice or someone else? It was a pretty funny episode, other than Peter being a dick and Lois' usual attitude about Meg's birthday. Yeah, that was my thoughts about Tom Cruise's voice also. I just wonder if it was him or someone doing an impression of him. Also, I really don't know how secure/insecure he is about himself being portrayed as tall as a toddler. As with this episode, I liked how Joe was able to beat up Peter! Edited October 5, 2015 by OnceSane quoted post was edited Link to comment
ganesh October 5, 2015 Share October 5, 2015 For some reason I like how Quagmire's dad is the only woman he can't stand being with. This is such a good running joke. Joe should be able to beat up Peter. He is an active member of the police force. The best part was after the fight, Joe takes his glasses off and the dad was like *gasp* Joe! IMDB lists Sean Kenin as Tiny Tom Cruise, but yeah, he really sounded spot on. I do hope this is a running gag too. 4 Link to comment
Writing Wrongs October 5, 2015 Share October 5, 2015 Tiny Tom Cruise was hilarious. The way he kept driving by on his Big Wheel cracked me up. 1 Link to comment
ShadowSixx October 5, 2015 Share October 5, 2015 (edited) I don't like how uncaring they're making Lois now. When she was asking Dr. Hartman if there was something in the charts about Stewie possibly having a disease or something. She's usually more caring when it comes to Stewie and Chris. Once again I enjoyed Stewie in this episode more than anyone. The whole story with Tiny Tom Cruise was funny, especially the drive by on his big wheel. I hope Tiny Tom Cruise is in future episodes. Didn't care too much for the main story of Joe and his dad, Joe's dad didn't have any funny quirks like Peter, Lois, & Quagmire do with their relatives. I don't know if it's hard for Seth to come up with anything funny for the rest of the main characters. I think they need really good supporting characters to pull it off like Ida, Jillian, Death, Carter, Connie, etc. Edited October 5, 2015 by ShadowSixx Link to comment
OnceSane October 6, 2015 Share October 6, 2015 I want Tiny Tom Cruise to stalk Stewie throughout the season. Link to comment
ganesh October 6, 2015 Share October 6, 2015 I don't think Seth does much of the day to day creative input anymore. I cracked up when Stewie and Tom Cruise were at the gay club. Link to comment
TVSpectator October 6, 2015 Share October 6, 2015 Joe should be able to beat up Peter. He is an active member of the police force.

I do hope this is a running gag too. He should since he is more physically fit than Peter but then again, I felt that Peter went over the line by allowing Joe's dad to move in with him. So, I felt that it was a bit like karma for Joe to beat up Peter. As with the glasses, that part reminded me of Superman and how he would take off his Clark Kent's glasses and no one could tell who he was. Also, thanks for the voice listing. Link to comment
M. Darcy October 6, 2015 Share October 6, 2015 I'm trying to remember if that is the first time they actually mentioned Peter's real father since that original episode. Heh, and I hate thinking logically when it comes to this show but we know Stewie gets to be tall when he grows up because we've seen future Stewie....as has Stewie (but he might not remember or know about that). 1 Link to comment
ganesh October 6, 2015 Share October 6, 2015 Was future Stewie really that tall though? Link to comment
OnceSane October 6, 2015 Share October 6, 2015 Was future Stewie really that tall though? I think he was at least the tallest in the family. Link to comment
M. Darcy October 6, 2015 Share October 6, 2015 (edited) Was future Stewie really that tall though? Its hard to judge by a cartoon but I think he was at least taller than 5'1. Edited October 6, 2015 by M. Darcy Link to comment
Galileo908 October 12, 2015 Share October 12, 2015 I like Drunk Peter just randomly confessing stuff. "We say we didn't take anything from The Simpsons, but we took a loooooooot from the Simpsons." Carl imitated Archer & Bob Belcher meeting each other and my brain just melted. 4 Link to comment

ShadowSixx October 12, 2015 Share October 12, 2015 Was it bad that I was hoping that Lyle would turn into Tiny Tom Cruise? Stewie is just not having luck with small people this season which is just funny. He's 3 for 3 in entertaining me for S14. Funny how Cleveland, Joe, and Peter were taken away for being "insane". Poor Joe and Cleveland forever getting made fun of for being African-American and disabled respectively. Brian still gets on my nerves, he's forever talking negatively about a subject only for him to end up doing it like stealing Stewie's twitter blurbs and last week with the ADD medication. 2 Link to comment
ganesh October 12, 2015 Share October 12, 2015 It makes sense Brian would be a hack "satirist" because he's a hack author. I thought this was funny all around. I would have liked more with the robots, but the fact that they evolved into bullies makes sense to me. And Brian came up with a very simple solution. The Simpsons joke was funny. 1 Link to comment

That's just part of their larger plan to make the entire family unlikable by playing up all of their negative personality traits. Brian is now a complete airhead liberal dilettante hack instead of just not being as smart as he'd like to think. Peter is a complete sociopathic jerk instead of a goodhearted moron. Lois is psychopath. Etc. Link to comment
