Funniest Family Guy episode in a long while for me. Even the Jesus parts weren't that bad.

This episode was funny, but really got on my nerves after awhile. The Jesus Christ stuff was kind of lame. However, I did like the Jay Leno parody.

I was LMAO when Stewie had the nose bleed.

Could a mod close this thread? I didn't realize that there will be a Game 7 for the ALCS on Fox tonight.

Edit: Oops. Thanks for the correction mcfly.

I think my favorite joke was the Terrence Trent D'Arby one on the sonar.

I am getting a little irritated with the force fed anti Republican jokes though. WE GET IT!!!

I didn't get the hawkmen reference, but the Back to the Future sequence was great!

I got most of the references, but it just didn't strike my funny bone this week. Tis a shame because I usually love the Brian & Stewie road episodes.

Yes, it's become quite an annoying reflex on MacFarlane's part. Tonight's was so ridiculous, one has to wonder whether he meant it ironically, or if his political opinions are really so very simple and childish.

Flash Gordon.

I got all the "jokes", but this was a really boring episode for me - just not enough funny.

Yeah, MacFarlane should come on at the end of next week's episode and promise that Family Guy will be funny again if America elects Obama.

I thought the McCain Palin button bit was great, I only remember one other political joke so I don't get why everybody is so upset. The Back to the Future bit was awesome IMO.

Funny episode, although I'm fully aware that Family Guy is the TV version of Shrek. It's only funny in a pop context and if you get all the pop references, this is not a show that will hold up over time because it is so dependent on pop culture references.

That is two too many.
I like the sonar bit as well, and the interrupted song and dance routine.

Because most Republicans are utterly incapable of having a sense of humor about their political affiliation. To Rush Limbaugh meat puppets, it's only funny when you joke about Democrats, dontcha know.
