Its funny watching kids die

1.0

By ender2272, Feb 22, 2013

Warning, contains some spoilers.

It is so funny to see a school bus filled with kids plumet into the ocean and its so funny when all the kids die. right? That whole scene...and how they show the kids being dragged onto shore, dead. I can only hope the writers were not in a fit of laughter when they wrote this. like " haha we will have the school bus hahha go off the cliff hahahhaha" hilarious. normally that stuff doesnt bother me but they took it too far this time. and they have been doing it more and more, killing hundreds or thousands in an attempt to make a joke. those are not jokes, they arent amusing or funny.moreless

Mort, Peter, and Quagmire burn down the pharmacy

9.0

By fsaenz0125, Mar 12, 2012

Overwhelmed with financial troubles, Mort asks Peter and Quagmire to help him save his pharmacy. However, things take a turn for the worse when the trio decides to burn it down to collect insurance money. I thought this episode was great. It is not my favorite episode since there were a few boring parts. Also, Quagmire bleeding after Brian was very creepy... I laughed/liked Stewie telling Brian something at the very beginning, the raccoon impersonator, Joe at the handicapped place, Mort singing on the PA, "Buy one, get one free," the conveylt belt getting faster, Quagmire flying down to see a woman and said "Alright," (great to see that line again...it's been a long time) the Goldman Pharmacy banner on the bus and it crashed, one of the tweets' comment, Peter, Quagmire, and Mort burning down the pharmacy, Bealtes cutaway, Quagmire looking at the mirror then a live action man appeared, Quagmire on the bubble, Peter calling Joe, then he text message him, a man that looks like Mort appear, Peter doing funny stuffs to Joe, Joe telling the story when he got handicapped, and that's all. Overall, a superb episode. 9/10moreless

Killing a bus load of high school kids is funny. NOT!!!!

1.0

By thundercat2000, Mar 10, 2012

This had a great plot but it was ruined by thinking killing people is funny. It's not funny. It's sick. When you wished upon a Weinstien was better because it didn't go overboard on the Jewish stereotypes. They pushed it here. I did show sympathy for Mort but I couldn't tolerate Peter and how he treated Joe.

More Mort please

7.0

By ActiveSparkles, Mar 07, 2012

A fairly solid episode. Some really good moments this week.

I know its probably wrong to laugh at the jewish stereotype jokes, but they do make me giggle. I feel redeemed because I love Mort as a character, and thought this episode was stronger for having him involved.

Couple of weak points, the ending being one. I dont know if I remember other family guy seasons wrongly, but I remember them always having stronger endings that of late. It sometimes seems to just. . cut off.

But all in all, a pretty good week for family guy.moreless
