Family Guy - 507 - "The Fat Guy Strangler"

MrJoeSoap

Anyone seen it yet?

I have it at home waiting for me but I'm in college for the moment... :mad:

Has the sound quality improved? It's been a bit off the past two weeks.

Mossy Monk

likewise i have to wait till i get home. some of what i have seen on the internet say it was a pretty good episode. reading the synopsis of it i am not surprised

Tusky

Absolutely brilliant. Quite possibly in the top three of series 4 thus far. Youre gonna love it.

MrJoeSoap

Super stuff Tusky! Have it here in front of me but I'm putting it off to build up some suspense! Gonna get some popcorn and have a watch!

Did you see American Dad? Any use?

Aint watched American Dad yet..After the slow start to the season, it picked up and started to outdue Family guy for a few weeks but since then Ive been thinking its going downhill. Im already tired of most of the characters and more often then not, it bores me.

Meh.. didn't like this episode much actually.

Some bits were funny:

- Stewie's Billy Bob Thornton impression
- Peter wearing Stewie's one-sie
- first meeting of NAAFP (in fact.. most of the scenes with the fat guys were good "Victor, don't lean against that" / "found my penis!")
- "Police also released this sketch of his accomplice, believed to be his wife"
- Tara Reid's boob job

But some bits were really dire and ran on too long:

- "Ball in a Cup!" :rolleyes:
- Could see 'The Price Is Right' gag coming a mile off
- Peter slaying Cybill Shepherd
- Singing caveman

PS -

really liked Brian's reference back to Season 3 regarding Peter rolling up the window on the General Lee!

Narcissus

I thought this was a really good episode.

POW right in the kisser!

I, on the other hand, loved the dragon slaying bit. Also, what about the

doctor scene, that was hilarious

That was actually very funny - could be criticised for being overlong but loved every second of it myself!

Season 4 was a 20 batch run that they decided to split into two seasons of 10 episodes each. Hence the productions number saying it's season four but, in terms of airing, it's actually season 5.

Thought it was pretty decent. Really liked the

doctor scene. Can't complain it went on too long because that's how FG operates its gags.

The General Lee revenge was good too

And the pickling was just horrendously crude

Creamy Goodness

didn't like this episode didn't hate it, it was just a honest to god plain episode.

the fat guys scenes were just too predictible who could not see that chair breaking

Ah sorta like the futurama seasons ?
On airing it says five when 4 DVD's were released.

I quite enjoyed the episode.

Mossy Monk

slaying of the dragon was good. also funny for me was the awkwardness after sex lol at the people who invented singing. the doctor thing i liked aswell

not the best episode but not bad either

YeatsCounty

A pretty good episode this week. No songs this week, especially after last weeks debacle. *shudders*

Favourite bits:

The slaying of Cybil Shepard. Peter does what we all think!
The opening scene with Peter, Brian and Joe et al.
The doctor scene.
Peter's gravational pull.
The Bush/Katrina gag.
Brian's revenge.
The "Butter Spread" advert.
"Jackie Gleason!!!" and all related scenes.
The pickle actually pickling.
"That sounds good." "I love toast!" "Hey, I found my penis!"
"Wait! You gonna eat that dead fat guy?"

Bad bits:

The "sleeping with the rhino" gag seemed forced. Didn't make me smile anyway.
The cavemen.
The fact the "Ball in a Cup" is just like "Wacky-Waving-Inflatable-Arm-Flailing-Tube Man" (Yes, I had to google that).
The first meeting of NAAFP. Obvious filler material.

Not a bad outing tbh.

MrJoeSoap

Thought it was a very good episode, liked

Ball in a cup

amongst other things.

This has to be one of the best (if not the best) episodes this year. I was in stitches all the way through.

Highlights for me were

First meeting of NAAFP with all the fat guys standing around wheezing, then sitting down and opening all the crisps and snacks. Then of course the obligatory farting and a chair breaking. And just because it was obvious doesn't mean it wasn't funny.

The cavemen inventing singing. I didn't think that went on too long, just long enough for the 'ooo-weeee-oooo-u-oooo' bit, which was needed to complete the scene. I thought it would have gone on longer but no.

The scene in the doctors, that was irritatingly funny.

"That's for rolling up the window on the General Lee" - I swear, milk shot out of my nose!

Cybil Shepard being a dragon, that was also class.

All in all, 9/10 for me on this one. And long may it continue.

Loved that bit too, a classic reference!

Blisterman

Good episode. I hope they keep this standard up, for the rest of the season.

Juan Pablo

According to TV.com there are two more:

Brian Sings & Swings: 11/12/2005
The Father, The Son, and The Holy Fonz: 18/12/2005

There's another one called "Peter's done it!" but that doesnt have a date.

Crucifix

Has there been a new one this week? My cousin doesn't seem to have it

MrJoeSoap

Don't think the next one is until early 2006.

It's actually scheduled for New Years Day afaik.

Nope, TV.com was wrong. The next one is the 18th.
