User Reviews

Peter gets a vasectomy to prevent Lois from having any more children. Before doing so he donates to a sperm bank (the result being the birth of Stewies arch rival, Gertrum).

Easily the funniest episode since the new seasons began (post-season 3). The first 15 minutes will have you laughing non-stop. By far, the funniest part is when Stewie and Brian find "diversity" in an A & F catalog by pointing out a miniature-sized Black Waldo among 20 white ripped, shirtless, gel-haired guys. The best quote has to be when Lois complains that Peter is fat as well (she gets fat in the episode) and Peter responds, "Lois, men aren't fat, only fat women are fat." Another funny part is when Stewie talks of a plan of invaiding Gertrum's side of the playground with his "army" of other babies and then Gertrum submits a note to him admitting surrender. Stewie then talks of it being good thing b/c he didn't have an "exit strategy." Afterwards he finds out the note is laced with measles and complains to Gertrum about their deal not to use chemical warfare: absolutely hilarious. The episode also shows Peter in a prison yard forced to "entertain" the prisoners. They make him sing that crappy milkshake song with his shirt off and pants down...so incredibly funny. This may indeed be the funniest episode of Family Guy; i wish Seth McFarlane and the other writers would write every new episode this well.
