  • Sensational episode, in my opinion!

    This episode had a ridiculous concept (but which one doesn't, really) but they executed it perfectly. There were several funny moments during the episode, and that contributed highly to its success.

    Also, I thought that the episode had an interesting storyline, even though it wasn't particularly brilliant or mind-boggling.

    There were several concepts that I loved in this one, such as Meg making flag girls and Peter joining a gun club, and all these elements contributed to the episode's overall success, in my opinion.

    I would recommend this episode reasonably highly, but I do think that there are much better episodes, even though I have scored this a ten. Very worthwhile!moreless

    The really good comedies are able to turn simple jokes into several more ones scattered throughout the episode. Family Guy is able to do the same, except make those jokes great and knee slapping hilarious. Although I've reached an age where penis jokes are getting a bit old and middle school ish, man were they ever hilarious here! The focus on Peter being insecure about his penis being smaller than his son's was just hilarious and created some excellent scenes, like when he tries redeeming himself at the gun shop, and getting a car with a long front. The other story, Meg and trying to be popular, was hilarious and at the same time does a great job of covering her role well of the loser girl always worried about her image at school. Excellent episode!moreless

    Heh, Chris had a larger private part than Peter, and Meg trying to become a popular person. Well, an uncool person will NEVER change it's stripes, despite anything they may try to do.

    Yeah so it was a good episode. Not the funniest as such but the storylines were great. I must say the cheerleading scene with Meg getting covered was nuts, so funny lol.
    Joe was also quite funny this time, such as when he almost got use of his legs back, but that was taken away when he was knocked over again.
    Yeah so overall, it was a good episode.moreless

  • Just from the fake disclaimer and the episode name do we laugh; the rest of the episode is even better.

    Peter is happy that he can beat Chris at everything but when he discovers that his son has a bigger penis he is instantly emasculated and tries every method of getting his pride back. Meanwhile; following Meg's humilation at the hands of the cruel Connie D'amico, her and Lois plot to bring the mean girl down. This episode is jam - packed with penis jokes and sexual innuendo as well as some nods at child abuse but for those who prefer the higher brow gags; Stewie is here with some wise cracks, the head to head between Peter and Chris and Peter's insane methods to staying well - endowed are a little cleaner but regardless of your standards; everything on show here is funny.

    The episode has the usual moral lessons although these ones seem a little darker; that having a freakishly big penis doesn't matter and that revenge can be sweet. Make of them what you will. I believe Stewie is much funnier in small doses like here when he's in the background mostly but emerges with a cheeky one - liner rather than when he's in every scene but struggles. The constant degradation of Meg gets a little nasty after the two meat attacks but the revenge at the end settles the score.

    Like The Simpsons, there's an unrelated sequence at the beginning which takes place on the snow but what Family Guy does differently is that it's not very long and somehow connects to the plot but The Simpson's is blown out of proportion and has almost nothing to do with the storyline. This episode looks very attractive but still a little rough compared to the more richly detailed later seasons. The vocals don't disappoint either but for some reason Connie D'amico has a friend who sounds exactly like Lois.

    And the Wiener is......anyone who thinks this is a bad episode; it's Family Guy at their best.moreless

    ADD TRIVIA
    • During the football game, Chris is holding up a flag that says "QHS," most likely for Quahog High School. However, the name of the local high school has been shown repeatedly, within this very episode even, to be James Woods High. Edit
    • When the Griffins are at the football game, the Griffins are sitting in front of people. Then in the next shot nobody is behind them, then the people are behind them again. Edit
    • Goof: While going downhill in his wheelchair, you can see Joe use his legs to try and slow himself down. Joe is a paraplegic and should not have use of his legs at this point. He doesn't regain control of his legs until after he hits the ground. Edit

    ADD NOTES
    • On FOX, this episode had a warning about sexual innuendos and situations before the opening theme. Cartoon Network didn't air this with the FOX-made warning, only the usual warning that they have before Adult Swim shows. Edit

    • Chris: Is Dad mad at me? Lois: Oh, of course not, honey. Now go pick out a box of cereal and meet me in the ten inches or less line...ITEMS! Edit
    • Joe: Face it, Peter. Sooner or later your gonna have to pass the torch. I remember the first time Kevin beat me. I was so proud of him. I gave him a little congratulatory punch in the arm. And then another. And then everything got a little hazy. He had to live with a foster family for a while. Edit

    • Star Wars In the scene at the NGA shooting range, a Stormtrooper from Star Wars is seen shooting at a cutout of Luke Skywalker. Stormtroopers were the basic infantry units of the Imperial Army, against whom Luke Skywalker, as part of the Rebel Alliance, fought against. Edit
    • Peter Rabbit Connie: Peter Rabbit would be wise to stay out of Mr. McGregor's garden. This line is a reference to the series of children's books about Peter Rabbit by Beatrix Potter. Edit
    • Electric Avenue Is the song the band is playing when Meg and the flag girls go out to perform. Electric Avenue was a song in the 1980s by Eddy, Family Guy is probably making fun of a one-hit wonder. Edit
