    I hated everything in this episode, except the pimple plot, I'm also sick of Brian's plots always being about him being in love with another HUMAN

    But a horrible episode

    Overall, I thought this was a great episode. Both plots were pretty good, and a lot of the jokes made me laugh, especially in the first half, like Peter's cow kite, Stewie as a teenager, and Quagmire checking the Bachelorette's producer's room for monsters. I also thought Herbert's appearance was funny, and it was weird but hilarious when Chris's pimple started talking to him. The second half, however, was pretty boring to me, and I felt really sorry for Brian by the end. There was one scene near the end that made me laugh, though, and that was when Chris was at the doctor's office. So, overall, despite the second half being kind of boring, I really liked this episode. It definitely wasn't a favorite of mine, though. Final grade: B. Marebear2009, out!moreless

    Brian wants to win on a show called "The Bachelorette." Chris gets a pimple. But of course, not an ordinary pimple, but a pimple that talks him into creating mischief.

    If this is the episode with Stewie talking to Brian about his book for 2 different scenes, then this episode has one of the dumbest gags in the series. Happening once was bad enough, having it happen a second time screamed "Filler".

    The sub plot was funny in a severely idiotic way. Overall my grade for this is a C or so. It is good, but nowhere near as great as other episodesmoreless

I wasn't crazy about Chris's plot, but I loved when he was shirtless and that old pervert was looking at him on the ladder. He then fell back and landed on the ground, motionless at the sight. LMAO. I felt a little bad for Brian. Cool episode.moreless

    • Chris: Doctor, I need you to get rid of this zit. Doctor: Oh my, that's a nasty one. I bet the other kids all call you zit face. Chris: No. Doctor: Pus peak? Chris: No. Doctor: Papa zit? Chris: No. Doctor: Fat ass? Chris: Well, yeah. Edit
    • Stewie: Oh, I know it hurts now Brian, but look at the bright side, you have some new material for that novel you've been writing. You know, the…the novel you've been working on. (voice getting higher pitched) You know, the…the one, uh, you been working on for three years. You know, the…the novel. Mm, got something new to write about now. You know, maybe…uh, maybe a main character gets into a relationship, suffers a little heart break. Something like uh, what…what you been, you just been through. Draw from the real life experience. Little uh, little heart break. You know…work it into the story. Make those characters a little more three dimensional. Little, uh, richer experience for the reader. Make those second hundred pages really keep the reader guessing, what's going to happen. Some twists and turns. Little epilogue, everybody learns the hero's journey isn't always a happy one. (voice returns to normal) Oh, I look forward to reading it. Edit

    • Cynthia Plaster Caster Lois' former hobby of making molds of rock stars' genitalia is a reference to Cynthia Plaster Caster, an artist and former groupie who did the same thing starting in 1968. She has inspired a documentary film and a song by KISS called "Plaster Caster". Edit
    • Animal House The scene where the old man is peeping into Chris's room while standing on a latter is from the 1978 movie Animal House where John Belushi peeps in at sorority girls. Edit
    • Blazing Saddles

      One of Chris' new zits demands, "Where are all the whiteheads at?" This is similar to a line Cleavon Little's character uttered to goad a pair of Klansmen: "Where are all the white women at?" Edit
