- Peter vomiting

Tons of laugh-out-loud moments, with many coupled with, "Oh my god, did they just say/do that?"
There was also Quagmire asking under-age girls if they want to lose their virginity, and the creepy old pedophile lusting after Chris.

Chris "dueting" with the old guy had me laughing the most. How about the name of the pub - Wifey McBeatty ... they really pushed the limit with this episode.

The Episode started off a bit slow - then does a complete turn around, and hits the ball out of the park with Peter's visit to Ireland and Stewie's S&M fetish

Was it cubes or pubes? If it's cubes, what did he mean by that?

I thought that's what he meant. I just never heard them refered to as "cubes". Was that an inside joke I missed somewhere?

That bit was SO WRONG, but I too couldn't stop laughing. That cutaway was just way out there !! My favorite part of the show.

Funny episode!

Not the funniest episode...I liked the "got the crack from blacks" bit and the runway with the beer bottles... much of the episode was more crude than usual..the mother teresa part was not really that unny...oh well.

Peter to Meg when leaving for Ireland: "That'll do, pig."

The oddest thing about this episode was the lack of resolutions for me. What was the resolution to the Stewie/Lois plotline? So Peter has a song and dance with his new-found father and that's the end? With FOX always seeming to run overtime during "Animation Domination", I never know if I've gotten the entire episode!

I think they couldn't say "Balls" on TV so they took the opposite "Cubes"

but the line was

Why couldn't they say "balls"? Arrested Development said "balls" (as in, "Are you sure these aren't balls? Because last time, they were balls... I really wish they were balls.") and it was in an earlier timeslot.

I loved Stewie's line, something about "Man, I really need help, don't I?" (Erased the ep off my DVR already, otherwise I'd get the exact quote.)

Can't remember the exact Ben Affleck joke, but I liked that.

The family treating Meg like shit never gets old for me.

I didn't particularly enjoyed this episode however, when Peter transformed himself to Wonder Woman, made me laugh a bit.

Wow, what a clever title. Those "Family Guy" writers are real sharp.

"You want fun? Go home and buy a monkey!

What does that even mean?!"

"What's going on in my pants? Looks like six more weeks of winter."

I thought this was a very funny one, the best part was a burned Stewie falling out of the tanning bed and screaming on the floor. Also, the Muppets with the unfamiliar voices.

"You look like a young Eartha Kitt....purrrrrr."

The Old Man and the Midget
"Sir, would you please stop staring at me?"
"Where's the rest of ya?"
