I'm not much of a Family Guy fan.
But I've never been as grateful for a 2 minute bit as I was while watching the "Laura Bush killed a guy" riff.

Everything else inbetween - McStroke, for example - have been painfully unfunny.
This one was chock full of one-liners. That Horton Hears Domestic Disturbance Next Door But Doesn't Call the Police thing... comedy gold. If the rest of the season stays in this direction, I'll be happy.

Terrible episode and I love FG.
Only a few small laughs for me and that was it. Very disappointed.

There's only one that I genuinely can say I love, and that was Meet the Quagmires.

Last season was short and hit/miss but again had a slew I enjoyed (Believe it or Not, Joe's Walking on Air, Stewie Kills Lois/Kills Stewie, and lesser extent with Peter's Daughter and Play It Again Brian).Not saying they've all been quality, but I've enjoyed numerous post-canned eps of the show. This ep just felt.. long.

Ha kinda funny the guys who have hated post cancellation liked it and the ones that are fans post didnt. Consider me a like it. Ive thought most every episode after they came back have sucked, and the only reason i watched this one was nothing else was on. The line "Youll make a great lover" had me on the floor. Classic Stewie and Brian.

I prefer the post cancellation episodes of FG, but that may be because I've seen the earlier episodes so many times that I'm getting sick of them.

Hated this episode, too.
Come to think of it, I didn't like many episodes last season, and I've absolutely hated every post-strike episode. Maybe the whole FG premise is wearing thin for me? I dunno.

I hate the post-cancellation episodes, but this one made me laugh a few times. I'm just not sure I'm ready to love it again though.

Apparently, the birds the word.
I need to watch Office Space again.

Don't bother with Office Space because of this. (would have been more relevant with the "damn, it feels good to be a gangster" wording).
For whatever reason, I thought the episode was horrible, but yet I laughed several times.

Episode felt like something out of season 1 which more or less isn't a compliment, but it was better than that piece of shit last week.

For me, I thought the first segment was probably the funniest 10 minutes of Family Guy ever - the whole Surfin' Bird thing with Peter just killed me for some reason. The rest of the episode however, meh...

Also, maybe it's just me, but thus far this season it really has not felt like it has had half as many cut aways as there normally are. The Marley Matlin one was funny (though the references to 300 and Last Mimzy makes me think this epsiode was made awhile ago), but there were way too few in this episode I at least thought.

I had no idea that the bird is the word.
In the majority here, the Jesus stuff was okay but the bird song was very funny. Especially when Peter is screaming it at the audience.

Peter setting up everyone so he could segue into the song was hilarious.
