Hilarious episode.

*** This comment may contain spoilers ***

After watching these two episodes, I am giving up on Family Guy forever. This episode only made me laugh some of the time when I first saw it (the ending was totally hilarious). But the episode really became funny when I watched Family Guy. Every criticism this episode makes with regard to Family Guy is 100% accurate. It's scary to think how the Family Guy staff comes up with their jokes now. Are they just swimming around in a tank with some idea balls? Probably. I really think that South Park showed in this episode why they are miles ahead of Family Guy. The Simpsons used to be as funny as South Park is now, but recently they have gone the way of idea balls too. Hopefully the upcoming Simpsons movie will provide some good humor.

As for this episode, I think you will enjoy it. If you don't find it funny, then pop in a few Family Guy episodes and watch it again. If you don't laugh harder the second time around, then I am much different than you.
