Greatest Family Guy episode

It's an amazing episode, almost makes up for shamelessly ripping off The Simpsons, almost. But don't compare the show with the likes of superior shows like South Park or The Simpsons but rate it in it's own scale and you will see that this episode is quiet fun. It's hilarious with non-stop jokes and everything an animated sitcom should have.

The central plot may be nonsensical but if you want logical fun don't bother watching Animated shows in the first place. The episode has it's flaws and has it's moments but as mentioned beforehand, it truly is the greatest Family Guy episode and I'm not the only one, Google it and see for yourselves.
