Family Guy - "Stew-Roids" - Talkback [4/26]

Oh, okay. Thanks, Chdr. I'm guessing Cleveland Jr. was at the battle too. Lol. Now what about my other question. What started the fight between Stewie and Susie anyway?
 
The Rocky and Bullwinkle take-off on Family Guy is the second one in a few days following the Rocky and Bullwinkle "Watch me pull a rabbit out of my hat" routine spoof in the April 23, 2009 Arthur episode "Do You Believe in Magic?"

I don't get it for 2 cutaways: Peter sleeping with a horse ("I mispoke!") and Fred Flintstone's cameo comment ("Don't think about it!").
 
I think Cleveland Jr. will be in the spinoff. Speaking of which, I have a question about that, but I will leave that for another thread.

Anyway the die in a Iraq comment, is a really dark humor which they have done before. In a outtake, Peter is stationed in Afganastain, and they do some Pat Tillmen jokes. Sometimes their humor can really be dark.

Cleveland Jr. isn't dead. He'll be appearing on The Cleveland Show (albeit redesigned).
 
I can't say that I find Connie to be a particularly interesting or funny character. Connie really hasn't evolved much over time; she's still pretty much the same stuck-up mean girl she was at the beginning, only now she occasionally gets some come uppance for her behavior, although it's usually delivered by some other character, be it verbally (Brian) or physically (Peter or Stewie), rather than having revenge exacted by Meg herself, which would be more satisfying to me, since the Meg/Connie interactions are always so terribly one-sided: Connie treats Meg like crap and Meg kisses Connie's ass. And since Connie still routinely treats Meg like the floor on a blind man's urinal, the character has done nothing to edear her to me. However, it's clear that FG's writers feel something for the character, since they keep bringing her back. I'm still not a fan of Connie's, but since FG in general is such a boys' club, it nice to see them pay some attention to one of the female characters, I suppose.

Also, I don't think that the physical similarities between Connie and Jillian were intentional on the part of the animators. That's probably just the way that Seth draws hot blonds.
 
Stewie playing with dolls again? Well he has flirted with an alternative life style before, between that and Meg's comment at the end, the Griffen kids have some things to examine. LOL If they were Stan's kids, imagine how crazy that would make him.
 
The way I see it, as of late, she is a poor girl's Carter Putersmith. I am no way putter her in the same leauge as Carter. But the way I view her of late, is someone on the surface is a completely unlikeable character, but there are little things that make me like her. Like the HSM comment. That is the type of mean but funny still that Carter has done for years.

Besides Meg bashing that is no longer such a crime to me as it was in the first series run. Everyone bashes Meg now, that it loses its impact. It gets to a point when I see anybody pick on Meg, my reaction is whatever, who cares.
 
I really don't see any similarities between Connie and Carter, and one can't say that Connie vs Meg is anything like Carter vs Peter because Peter has annoyed Carter just as often as the reverse. If FG's writers really want for Meg and Connie to truly become rivals then the 2 of them should be more or less on equal terms of annoying one another, not just Meg sucks up to Connie and Connie insults Meg.

Call me coo-coo. but I see some untapped potential in Meg's character. I think that Meg is capable of being a halfway decent character in her own right and not be the universe's punching bag, but we've had that discussion before. :shrug:
 
Don't tell me, tell the writers. They have bashed Meg so much to a point that it just got to a point, that is pointless to care. But that is just me and my feelings. I remember when Meg unknowingly joined a suicide cult, I loved that episode. I missed those days.

Anyone the point I was making before with my Carter and Connie comparison, is them as individuals, nothing to do with their rivals with Peter and Meg. Once again, that is strictly an opinon and feelings of myself, nothing do with facts. I can't really argue with you.
 
Yeah me too. Probably it's our imagination running around or somethin'. I was so surprised when they did the He-Man segment I was like "OK" and continued to watch. And Stewie had so much steroids. So pathetic.
 
No one is arguing. It's merely 2 people having a difference of opinion. That's your opinion, and I can respect that, but IMO, Connie would need to suffer more for her actions before I could consider her to be in any way likable. Instead, for the most part, she just continues being unbearably snooty with little or no consequences, sometimes, she's even been rewarded for it.

And my thoughts about Meg weren't directed at you. I was just expressing my thoughts on a particular subject.
 
I thought the episode was funny, I love the design of Buff Stewie.



They played that joke too often. I liked his yelling through the fourth wall, but there was too much before that. His "sweet statutory!" in the episode he took her to that dance was enough.



They did the same thing with "Get Real". Smacks of desperation if you ask me.
 
Saw it yesterday, loved it. There were alot of good parts.

Episode Highlights:

* Bonnie+ Lois+ sunscreen =YES :D
-Especially when Quagmire watched them through the fence
* Johnson & Johnson is evil?
* Stewie getting pwned by Susie
* Fred Flinstone gag ("HEY! Noone said you had to smell it.") :D
* Connie hates HSM? Nice.
* SpikeTV in a nutshell.
* Peter giving Stewie steroids FTW! ("I HAVE THE POWER!!" Also He-Man refrence also FTW)
* Chris sharing his feelings about Connie...aww. :)
* "UHP!!"
* That trumpet getting louder
* Meg confronting Connie
* "What are ya looking at?! It's a cartoon!"
* The seagull watching the Sandler movie
* Stewie flying a la Rocky and Bullwinkle (even though I saw that gag coming from a mile :p)
* "I flew today."

Awesome episode. 8.5/10
 
That's kind of a huge problem I had with this episode: continuity or not, if someone arranged to have meat thrown at me, I wouldn't want to be their friend. Instead, I would arrange a series of 'accidents' for that person, each one more dangerous than the last.

Note to FG writers: if you do use this for a future Meg episode and not credit me, I will sue the bloody lot of you.
 
The setup for the horse joke was Peter commenting on his hunger by saying he could eat a horse. Eating is a slang term for performing cunnilingus. The setup for the Flintstone gag was someone(Stewie I think) saying something smells like Fred Flintstone's rear end. Fred's response was "Hey, you don't have to smell it." I don't know why that's funny, it just is.
