    • Goofs
      Patrick is standing in the kitchen when Peter announces his plans to start the National Association for the Advancement of Fat People; yet in a later scene he asks Peter about it as though he didn't know about Peter's coalition.

      [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.

      [Opens booklet and screams]

    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!!!
