I think I laughed out loud once at this episode. Pretty poor in my opinion. A lot of the gags (especially the ones I didn't find funny), they seem to drag on and on. I think FG would be better off keeping things quick and witty rather than beating each joke to death for a minute and a half.

Shouldn't Kool-Aid Man have a much deeper speaking voice?

I always liked it since is one of the only "sports" that i can watch the begining to, then take a three hour nap, then wake up and sees who wins.

What about the sketch when the Family Guy was on the Tracy Ullman show!

That was great :)

Couple of funny bits for me but overall, it was just an okay episode.

Julia Roberts was great, I thought of that several times myself.

Loved the Kool-Aid Man jokes, and the Tracey Ullman bit. The rest = :down:

Technically speaking, couldn't you do that for virtually any sport?

Not if the sport doesn't last longer than 3 hours.

I hate that I watched the South Park cartoon wars episodes. Now, I've noticed that when I watch Family Guy I think of the manatees.

Dammit!

After seeing the Towelie episode I could've sworn the manatees started working for South Park too. :lol:

Wow. This episode may have set the bar as low as I've ever seen for Family Guy. The only laugh I got was when Cleveland said he must be a school administrator because he had an extension program in his trousers.

The Quagmire bits at the beginning were just horrendously lame. Almost but not quite as lame as the "thinking grenades" joke or the "rat farm" joke. Betty White showing up at the Griffins door wasn't funny and never went anywhere. Stewie training for the olympics came out of nowhere wasn't even slightly funny.

If I didn't have the first three seasons on DVD I would never believe this show used to be funny.

Anyone else, yeah. That's why I said I. Every other sport I give a rat's ass what happens between the start and end of the event. With the exception of baseball, same rules apply.

Not if the sport features any athletes with the last names Sharapova or Williams.

RichC2 04-25-06 12:16 PM

The season had been going really well, but these last two episodes :down:.

dhmac 04-25-06 06:16 PM

This episode was good, if only for Peter's erotic novels. His writing was hilarious!

It's been done to death, but any gags riffing on the Rancor fight scene from ROTJ get my vote.

twikoff 04-30-06 08:13 PM

2 halves cant make a whole without a hole, giggitty giggitty giggitty

:lol:

littlefuzzy 04-30-06 10:34 PM

Mayor West always makes me giggle...

Judge Smails 04-30-06 11:26 PM

Stewie was great this episode with the Matthew McConaughey bits, and remembering the parade.

Dr_Evil 04-30-06 11:29 PM

Tonight's episode didn't get many laughs out of me. American Dad on the other hand, I enjoyed quite a bit.

The Valeyard 04-30-06 11:29 PM

ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

Pretty dull episode.

LorenzoL 05-01-06 05:26 AM

I liked Stewie rant about going after Ron Howard.

This episode was much better than the previous two episodes but that's not saying much.

Chew 05-01-06 06:07 AM

Another in a string of unfunny episodes.
