    what i liked- the Jack Black movie reference, the ending of the episode, peter punching hitler (See, we had a plan for that all along), the Dr. Hartman and Carter interacting scene where they notice how similar their voices sound, bonnie missing joe's spine with the gun, amongst other things.
    for pretty much everything i liked, there was one i did not. i did not like the frog cutaway. i did not like Muriel being called "Anne Frank". i did not like how much of a jerk Joe became. So basically it was merely average for me, save for a few moments. C+/B- or so sounds good.moreless

  • Joe was kind of a jerk

    I thought that this was an excellent episode of "Family Guy". It was awesome to see Joe being able to walk after he got a leg transplant when he felt like he was holding back on Bonnie because of Joe being handicapped. The beginning of the episode was very funny when Peter, Joe, Quagmire, and Cleveland didn't want the wives at "The Drunken Clam" because it ruins their time of being away from the wives. It was funny when they decided to make an all men's club. It was hilarious when Fred Flintstone and Barney Rubble were the all-men's club. The joke about Dr. Hartman and Carter having the same exact voice was hilarious. Mayor West's cameo appearance was absolutely hilarious. It was funny when Peter, Quagmire, and Cleveland are doing everything that Joe always wanted to do since Joe can walk now. Joe is leaving Peter, Quagmire, and Cleveland for his new fit friends and he is leaving Bonnie. Peter, Quagmire, and Cleveland decided that they need to make Joe handicapped again but Joe beat all of them but Bonnie shoots Joe making him handicapped again. Bonnie being a horrible shooter was hilarious. The ending was funny as well. Overall, an excellent episode of "Family Guy". 10/10moreless

    Joe gets a leg transplant and after that,he turns into a complete jerk.This episode was very funny.I loved the dojo part where Joe beats up the guys at a martial-arts place.That part was the funniest part of this episode.I loved the fight that Joe beated up Peter,Quagmire and Cleveland.That part was very funny snd I loved that part.Some of the scenes of this episode was very funny.I can see why this episode was very funny.Another part I loved about this episode is when it shows Stewie getting scared when Peter rips a whole chunk of wall in the house.That was the funniest part of the episode and this episode was funny.moreless

    In a world where people are normally expected to get around by walking around, Joe is left out of a lot of things. But when Joe is hurt that Bonnie has a chance to dance and won't because of Joe's inability to do so, he decides that he's had enough and wants to try to get his life back to the way it used to be before he had an accident. Luckily, the local hospital promises to give him new legs that will bring new life to Joe, re-opening a world to him that has been closed for 15 years. And although Joe is now free like never before, he abuses his new found freedom to a great extent. He runs his friends ragged and when they can't keep up, he wants to just dump them and gain new friends, but it's when he insults his pregnant wife Bonnie when he says he wants someone more active, that the other guys have decided they've had it with the new jerk Joe and decide to teach him a lesson by getting Joe back to the way he used to be! And although Peter, Cleveland, and Quagmire try to go "Street Fighter II" on Joe, he's Still more than a match for all of them! Until Bonnie does the unthinkable and shoots Joe in the legs so he's now a handicapped person again! Fortunately, the hospital advised the guys to keep his old legs just in case, which is a good way of thinking ahead in the plot! Plus the jokes are as funny as always and "Family Guy" even made a joke about how "Scrubs" is pointless for making cut away segue ways which make no sense when "Family Guy" does the exact same thing! :lol: Enough said, true believers! ;)moreless
