haha the pie thing was funny

This is why I love Family Guy. Nobody but Seth MacFarlane has the stones to burn 2 full minutes on a single gag like this. Awesome...

It's not 'stones' as you put it.

It's lack of ability to write 22 minutes of jokes so instead it stretches out the 5 jokes that he does have into 5 minute long jokes to fill the time.

IE: Crappy writing.

Nope.

It's calling attention to itself by exaggerating the screen time for a single gag, thereby compounding the absurdity, and extending the laugh. This is a comedic principle that stretches way way back to the days of Jack Benny's radio show, and before.

I got a few laughs out of it.

Even Jack Benny didn't beat the hell out of the concept like Family Guy's Manatee's do though.

For once, we agree. All I did was sit there and hope it was ending soon.

++1 I have to agree %100. Family Guy is way overrated for way underwriting.

PS3-Playb3yond · 02-18-2009, 12:18 AM

ROFL!!!!

The first 2 seasons kinda sucked for family guy.. I think it really picked up with seasons 3,4,5,6.

South park was funny when it first came out .. now it seriously sucks..

Simpsons? seriously who honestly thinks thats funny? I bet its the same people who think King of the Hill is funny..

I guess it all depends on what your idea of funny is..

And I have to say that's what ruins the show for me. They burn 2 minutes up instead of writing more formula jokes. The manatees are still on staff. What does he care though, he voices half the characters on his shows anyway.

Remember when Stewie bothered his mom saying "Mom, Mommy" for two minutes straight. Brilliant writing.

STARSCREAM · 02-17-2009, 02:08 AM

For me, sometimes I like the show and other times I don't.

mikem471 · 02-17-2009, 02:13 AM

Wow, gotta love the thread crappers.

Darkhawk9587 · 02-17-2009, 02:15 AM

Not as good as I had hoped. I liked the part about the pie, but that's pretty much it. I was expecting to at least have some sort of animation to go along with the audio. I guess not.

Navster · 02-17-2009, 02:38 AM

wow that was hilarious... i have this episode tivo'd and cant wait to watch it

Nealten10 · 02-17-2009, 03:22 AM

Thats what makes it so funny, how they drag out the joke... Some think its funny some dont.. I LOVE it
