Family Guy - "Quagmire's Baby" - Talkback [11/15]

Seth did say that Quagmire isn't one to hold a lesson.
The only way Quagmire of all people would hold in a life lesson, moral, or something is if Hugh Hefner (in the FG Universe) were to say something.

I'd give the episode 4 and a half out of 5.



Eh... Yeah I guess you're right but that clearly beats them all. lol
 
I honestly think he's no worse than Peter, especially after that abortion joke. I mean, if the the writers just weren't feeling the spinoff, then fine, but I just thought it was hypocritical that one spinoff got picked over the other for moral reasons.

This is the strongest season of Family Guy i've seen in a while. Cheers.
 
The last line that was a little distirubing. Kind went a little over the line, but I let it pass.

But I would like to see a time jump sequel episode to this, with the kid growing up to be a success or something.

BTW, Quagmire saying he gave away his only daughter. Seriously knowing hime, I doubt that is his only daughter. He probably has a bunch of kids that he doesn't know about. He meet one already.
 
He saw three in a preschool already, one was shown in a cutaway, and Quagmire himself said that he probably has hundreds of kids around the world which then led to the said cutaway.
 
Nice episode. I never thought they'd ever follow-up on the repercussions of Quagmire's promiscuity, but they did here and they handled it well. I was very thankful the ending wasn't ruined by Peter breaking the window or something to attempt to rescue his daughter. That last joke kinda filled that role, but I admit I chuckled a bit.

The subplot with the clones didn't seem to go anywhere though. A couple laughs here and there but nothing major. The primary story made up for it.
 
Wonderful/hilarious episode focusing on Quagmire, yaaay,

The highlights:
Peter's Bewitched parody along with the "Cher's Retired" message.
The World's Wildest Police Videos parody with the Flintstones running from the police, hahahahahaha, the Flintstones/Jetsons jokes are always funny.
British Radio.
Stewie doing cloning, creepy & cool.
I love Stewie's Clone who's retarded & hilarious:p:D, hahahahahaha.
So Stewie creates retarded Bizarro-ish clones, awesome.
Peter/Ronald Reagan's duet hurting the audience's ears, hahahahaha.
Peter accepts Ronald Reagan's ghost as their 4th member.
Ronald Reagan turning out to be Rich Little, uh-oh, hehehe.
Peter's alarm clock bomb.
Quagmire gets a baby daughter who's so CUTE:anime:, besides all those freaky Quagmire kids at the classrooms, hehehe.
The baby daughter doing the "giddity" saying was cute/hilarious.
Lois being split in half, YIKES & gross!!!!!
I so love Brian's Clone was also retarded & hilarious:p.
Candy is one hot date for Quagmire.
Quagmire moving his head back & forth was hilarious, hahahahaha.
Poor Quagmire putting his baby daughter up for adoption.
Sad that both the Stewie/Brian Clones died, they were so funny while it lasted.
Poor Quagmire misses his baby daughter.
Peter & Joe doing math, hahahahahaha, I don't like math sometimes.
Joe vs. the talking first step, hehehe.
Quagmire wants the family to take care of his baby daughter, so sweet & touching for his character development.
Quagmire breaking the 4th wall="Good night everybody," hehehe.
 
I thought Cher retired already. I haven't heard anything out of her in a decade.

News on the radio (AM, at least) sounds exactly like that. It's that incomprehensible. This was one of the few "long" jokes on this show that's worked for me.

Both plots worked, and more importantly, weren't annoying or entirely cutaways or preachy. Thanks for the decent episode, Appel.
 
I was plensently surprised when they were at the adoption agency, there was no Meg jokes. That was another opportunity for them to rip on Meg and they passed it up.
 
Funny episodes and the cutaways were good. Those were funny interactions with Stewie and his clone. Brian's clone was cute you know like those ugly dogs that are so ugly they're cute...yeah.



That's exactly what i said after he said it.
 
I love the flintstones and Jetson cut-aways. It goes back to their animated sitcom roots and it's nice to see them in a modern age, especially the jetsons with their biting commentary on things they did back then.
 
i thought it would be a bewitched reference since he wrote in the sky like samantha does in the intro for the show.

when does anything like that happen in the wizard of oz?
 
While this episode could've been funnier, I feel it was another step in the right direction. They're doing better with pacing, investing more time into building up jokes instead of just throwing as many as they can into the episode whether they belong there or not. I can actually think of a joke from this episode and remember which episode it's from. There will always be a few interchangeable cutaways and stuff, but when the majority of the episode can't be chopped up and thrown into a shuffled playlist without losing the context necessary to make the jokes work, that's a good thing. (There were a lot of negatives in that sentence, but I think it makes sense.)


I assumed it was an impersonator, but nope -- John Bunnell himself. Even though that bit could've been tightened up a little, I did enjoy it quite a bit and it's something I've wanted to see parodied for a while.
 
If Cleveland was still in Quahog and had the ALARM CLOCK BOMB, would this lead into another Cleveland taking a bath then falling out of the house in a bathtub gag?
