(Is anyone else right now practically quoting Cartman's dialogue from the "Family Guy"/Mohammed South Park episode word for word?:
"Dude, let's go to Fox and have this episode pulled! It's our only chance to finally get this show off the air!" )

It's a must-watch episode (or at least, the first part of the two-parter is, haven't seen the second):Daniel wrote:I probably would be, had I seen that episode... Must watch it soon!
Well said Eric!It's a must-watch episode (or at least, the first part of the two-parter is, haven't seen the second):
The SP episode was supposed to parody the Mohammed-cartoon headlines, but decided to take a poke at FG's bewilderingly random, robotic and basically pointless shock-gags and pop-culture refs that don't seem to be in the episodes for any reason at all--
Won't spoil it (and I don't know what mystery of comedy makes "Funny attempts to deliberately create unfunny jokes" gags funnier) but SP's parody imitation of lame/random FG jokes had me on the floor:
("Hey, fool!--Want some Mr. T.....tea?")
Yeah, as a Jew, it doesn't bother me either. (although I wasn't crazy about it at one point....now I just shrug it off and say: "Well, it's Family Guy." They rip on everyone and everything.)Yeah, silly lawsuit. I don't really think "I need a Jew" is vile or has a anti-semitic message. I LOVE that song. Before FG was resurrected, I considered "When You Wish Upon a Weinstein" the series finale.
I think it was more than slightly!
That, and the (slightly allegorical) scene where Kyle asks Cartman, "But I thought you'd like Family Guy, because your senses of humor are so similar!"
"DUDE!...If you ever compare my sense of humor to Family Guy's again, I will kill you where you stand! >_< "
That's the problem: SP and (although to a much lesser degree these days) Simpsons choose their targets--Daniel wrote:How? Family Guy is and always has been a show that pokes fun of everybody. (Pop culture, etc.)
