"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

u/hositrugun1 avatar

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?

Freddie Mercury

Edited

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,

Frieght Train! I'm glad they havent totally forgot all of the Cleveland Show characters

u/helladamnleet avatar

It's a little weird they basically retconned Stoolbend though

u/Porphyrin_Ring avatar

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

u/helladamnleet avatar

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.

u/Porphyrin_Ring avatar

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.

u/No-Power-6121 avatar

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?

u/ItStillHurtsToTouch avatar

Cayman my ass. It sounds like "Came in my ass."

Thank you

Oh, you're very, very welcome.

Ironically, Joe is the one who is the best athlete of the group.

u/mcdonaldsmcdonalds avatar

That looks nothing like Quagmire’s dad

u/hillaryswinton avatar

agreed, why were they lazy on such a detail?

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).

u/WeedWizard69420 avatar

Sorry don't get chronic fatigue syndrome

u/Ghidoran avatar

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 🤣

u/onometre avatar

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

I thought the Muppets looked suprisingly good in the Family Guy animation style! Also the way they had them move (especially Animal) was great

u/FlatStanleyTruther avatar

Pretty sure Meg and Chris have missed episodes before, but was this the first without Stewie?

u/WouldChangeLater avatar

Copied from the Wiki, Stewie was in every episode except "Welcome Back, Carter", "Candy Quahog Marshmallow!" and "Tales of Former Sports Glory".

Wow!

u/CrazyaboutSpongebob avatar

Thats the nature of sitcoms. Sometimes its not your week.

Good observation

Jerome: "Cable's out. We only get local channels"

u/mcdonaldsmcdonalds avatar

I can relate to that

u/onometre avatar

A fate worse than death

Can always just put on Hulu

u/CrazyaboutSpongebob avatar

At a bar?

u/mcdonaldsmcdonalds avatar

Yes you can as long as the tv is connected to one of those things that has Hulu, aka a Nintendo Switch for example.

u/CrazyaboutSpongebob avatar

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.

u/onometre avatar

Chronic fatigue syndrome.. clever

This is a woosh for me

The green military clothes Castro wears are called fatigues

u/Peroviendo avatar

Chronic fatigue syndrome

Thank you that was a woosh for me too.

That baby shark joke was cringe as shit

Simpsons and Duncanville did it last year

u/CrazyaboutSpongebob avatar

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 😂🤷🏻‍♂️

u/CrazyaboutSpongebob avatar

I know it was bad on purpous. I still groaned.

I’m going to miss how Mike pronounced words for Cleveland

Cooooba

u/sugarcocks avatar

I haven't seen the episode yet, does that new youtuber voice actor voice him now?

More replies

So the parodies were Rocky Balboa for Peter, Jimmy Connors for Quagmire (I think) & I can’t quite figure out Cleveland’s.

Jimmy Connors for Quagmire (I think)

I think it's more John McEnroe, since he was married to Tatum O'Neal IRL, but there were elements of Connors as well.

u/Dr_Zorkles avatar

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.

u/Buckimion avatar

Although it seemed to be directed mostly at Peter, I got the impression that Joe wrote the whole episode off as BS.

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.
