Peter feels jealous when he finds out Chris has a larger penis than he does, so he tries various tactics like buying a new car and joining a gun club. He then takes Chris on a father-son hunting trip only for Chris to eventually save the day. Meanwhile, Meg finds herself to be a target of abuse for the cool kids at school when she joins the flag girl squad. I thought this episode was excellent. I liked both of the plots, but Peter and Chris' plot was better by a little bit. I laughed at bunch of scenes here. The first few minutes when they were at the snow was hilarious especially when Joe actually walked then Kevin bumped into him. Peter trying to remember the previous times near the end was funny. It was interesting that Peter decide to go hunting with Chris. Stewie's rocket man song was hilarious. Overall, most of the humor focused on the main plot, but I still liked the sub plot. 10/10moreless

Sensational episode, in my opinion!

By amazing_race, Oct 18, 2010

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

Hilarious!

9.0

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

Cool episode all around

7.6

By j19000, Aug 02, 2008

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
