Goofs:

Factual errors: Lois tells her father that she is in her forties, therefore she would remember her brother who had only been locked up in the asylum for 30 years, rather than him remembering her.

Quotes:

[Peter is seen taking his physical alongside Lois]
Doctor: My goodness, you'll be dead within a month!
Peter Griffin, Lois Griffin: What?
[Doctor pulls out the comics]
Doctor: Oh, Hagar the Horrible, if you keep up that lifestyle of pillaging and turkey legs, you'll be dead within a month.
[Looks at Peter]
Doctor: Now, onto you.
Peter Griffin: So, What do you think? I'm pretty healthy, huh?
Doctor: Well, Mr. Griffin, let's take a look at your physical results.

Best Family Guy Episode

This is the best Family Guy episode ever! A real demonstration of DENIAL in human beings: Lois rejecting the idea the her newly discovered brother is insane versus Peter refusing to admit that he is fat. The top three scenes are: 1- The thrilling doctor's appointment 2- Brian trying to convince Peter that he should do something

about is weight or perhaps admit that he is fat:

*Peter: "What the hell is that?"

(with all sorts of objects floating around him)

*Brian: "Your body mass as created its own gravitational field!" 3- The half dead fat guy wondering if he could eat the dead fat guy.

Two thumbs way up!!!
