"Later we would he had a fashion disease known as Chronic fatigue syndrome. We would write more jokes about him about our dumb dumb writers only knows what he looks like."
Freddie died of asphalt
Pls explain this to me
Asphault = Ass-Fault. He died from AIDS, which he contracted from having unprotected gay sex.
You know you can get AIDS by having sex with any infected person, right? Or do you actually think AIDS is a disease that only affects active homosexuals?
I can't figure this one out. What is this referring too?
Freddie Mercury
Quagmires yips causing 9/11 was pretty funny
Did he also happen to play at tennis tournaments near the Pentagon and in rural Pennsylvania on 9/11 by any chance?
Also was quagmire on court meltdown parody of Serena Williams?
No, we think it was John McEnroe.
100% based on mcenroe,
Quagmire bounced it 40x
I’m downvoting in order to get this comment to exactly 40 upv’s
Haha shit it failed :P
Frieght Train! I'm glad they havent totally forgot all of the Cleveland Show characters
It's a little weird they basically retconned Stoolbend though
Did they? I figured that between Peters clearly made up story, and Quagmire's made up story, that Cleveland's was probably either fake or really embellished. If they did mean for it to be true I def agree about that being weird
Yeah I commented before I watched the whole episode. I'm leaving my comment up so the public humiliation prevents me from doing it again.
No worries, it was definitely not clear! Especially since they made a point about Peter's story being fake which was weird because it implied the other stories were true
Cayman my ass.
He did not just say that!
Whoever got that past standards and practices deserves a huge raise.
yeah that was one of 2 jokes this episode that actually made me laugh. they never get those past network censorship so it was funny and unexpected
That was goddamn gold.
Am I missing something? What's the big deal here?
Cayman my ass. It sounds like "Came in my ass."
Thank you
Oh, you're very, very welcome.
My second serve was no better
It took me reading your comment to get the joke 💀💀💀💀💀💀💀
Ironically, Joe is the one who is the best athlete of the group.
That looks nothing like Quagmire’s dad
agreed, why were they lazy on such a detail?
It’s family guy lol
Yea what are they expecting Studio Ghibli?
Eh, they have the same jawline/face structure
It was in the past before his father had a sex change.
Good episode. Lot of clever jokes (loved 'Chronic fatigue syndrome' and 'backhand compliment'). Also good callbacks. They kept the same model for Cleveland's dad (think this might be the first time we're seeing him on Family Guy), and also remembered Glen has an anger issue with sports (also seen with him playing gold and bowling).
Sorry don't get chronic fatigue syndrome
Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease where people are tired all the time. But in this case they're referring to Castro wearing those green army clothes (called 'fatigues') all the time, which is what people always picture him in. It's basically a pun.
in Cuba, hurricane season ran from February to january
Hundreds of dollars in damage 🤣
Quagmire did 9/11
Bay of pigs lmao
The whole cuba segment was fucking gold. I can’t wait to show my dad he loves a good castro roast especially the part about the Castro in San Francisco
The anthem being “I Love Lucy” had me howling. Cleveland bits are the best.
Lmao it was funny indeed
It was the only part of the episode I enjoyed.
i cackled, Cuba and the Gooding Juniors was gold
That was hilarious lol
Dear god this show has zero boundaries lmao
Oh my god it’s Freight Train 😃
I thought the Muppets looked suprisingly good in the Family Guy animation style! Also the way they had them move (especially Animal) was great
Pretty sure Meg and Chris have missed episodes before, but was this the first without Stewie?
Copied from the Wiki, Stewie was in every episode except "Welcome Back, Carter", "Candy Quahog Marshmallow!" and "Tales of Former Sports Glory".
Wow!
Thats the nature of sitcoms. Sometimes its not your week.
Good observation
Jerome: "Cable's out. We only get local channels"
I can relate to that
A fate worse than death
Can always just put on Hulu
At a bar?
Yes you can as long as the tv is connected to one of those things that has Hulu, aka a Nintendo Switch for example.
When you typically walk into a bar they usually don't have that.
For those wondering, when Quagmire said Freddie Mercury died of asphalt, the closed captioning spelled it exactly that way.
what's the joke ASS fault...? didn't get it...
Yeah, I'm sure it's a gay joke.
As a tennis player, the joke about slicing your hand off from opening a can of balls is 100% accurate. Those things are sharp as fuck
Everyone blamed the Muslims.
Chronic fatigue syndrome.. clever
This is a woosh for me
The green military clothes Castro wears are called fatigues
Thank you that was a woosh for me too.
That baby shark joke was cringe as shit
Simpsons and Duncanville did it last year
I groaned when I saw that.
Ikr? When I saw Peter doing the dance, I covered my ears and repeatedly said, "Deliver me from EVIL!"
Well, those of us who actually understood the joke actually got a good laugh from it haha 😂🤷🏻♂️
I know it was bad on purpous. I still groaned.
Lmfao I thought it was funny
Yo dilayhewho
I normally don't like the 3 stories episodes but I liked this one!
I’m going to miss how Mike pronounced words for Cleveland
Cooooba
I haven't seen the episode yet, does that new youtuber voice actor voice him now?
So the parodies were Rocky Balboa for Peter, Jimmy Connors for Quagmire (I think) & I can’t quite figure out Cleveland’s.
I think it's more John McEnroe, since he was married to Tatum O'Neal IRL, but there were elements of Connors as well.
It's definitely a blend of the two, but more McEnroe. Connors had a similar on court temperament before McEnroe - minus the racket breaking.
It's strange they'll reference the Cleveland Show, immediately after giving Cleveland a story that directly contradicts the entire plot of the series.
Although it seemed to be directed mostly at Peter, I got the impression that Joe wrote the whole episode off as BS.
Yeah these out of shape alcohlics aren't atheletic. LOL
One of her pet shop boys. There are a lot of great puns in this episode
Cleveland singing as the Cuban band leader was suprisingly good! I would 100% listen to a full version of that song
cleveland looks over to america, sees a canadian musician in a canadian shot music video
Yep. Buddy of mine liked to tell the story that it was his leather jacket the guy had on while dancing. He didn't get the part as dancing guy but they loved his jacket.
