    This was an excellent episode in my opinion, and maybe one of my favorites! The plot was very interesting to see, and there were some hilarious moments, like Quagmire babysitting the kids, especially the parts with the pet rock, Peter's "Thanks for the ride, lady!" when he and Lois were about to get shot in the car, and Dr. Hartman having all the needles stuck in his arm. My favorite part, though, was probably when Peter stopped at the drive-thru on the way to the hospital. The introduction to Bertram was also very interesting, and the ending was good, too. So, overall I thought this was a very funny and original episode, and my overall grade is definitely an A+! Marebear2009, out!moreless

    I thought that this was an excellent episode of "Family Guy". I thought it was funny when Lois asked Quagmire to watch the kids for a few days while Peter and Lois rush to the hospital because Lois' sister Carol is in labor. Quagmire trying to entertain the kids was funny especially when Chris was laughing and wants to play with Quagmire's keys. It was hilarious stopped by to order a burger when Carol is in labor. It was hilarious when Dr. Hartman has needles all over his arm and he fainted. It was very funny and original when Stewie didn't want another baby so he goes inside Peter to destroy his sperms. Peter telling Joe, Quagmire, and Cleveland that he is having another baby and then the guys getting excited was very funny. Peter and Lois getting romantic was also hilarious especially when Peter stuffed the watermelon inside Lois' mouth. It was great when Stewie met Bertrum inside Peter for the first time. It was great when Stewie and Bertrum became fast friends and Stewie was excited to have another brother. Lois tells Peter that they shouldn't have another baby which makes Stewie angry until he saw Peter's eye twinkle which meant that Bertrum was still inside Peter and then Stewie said that Bertrum was a little too clever. Overall, an excellent episode of "Family Guy". 10/10moreless

    My review:

    The whole episode was just hilarious.

    Best parts:
    -Thanks for the ride lady!
    -Peter breaking Carole's stuff
    -The pet rock
    -When Peter orders at the fast-food resturaunt

    and so much more I just can't name

    You MUST see this episode if you haven't yet.

    I thought this was an exceptional episode of Family Guy and I was very impressed with it. Overall, the storyline was interesting, and I loved the fact that Stewie was so against the idea.

    They executed the storyline immaculately, in my opinion, and I enjoyed the episode extremely thoroughly, and I felt that this was one of the most enjoyable episodes of this season.

    I would recommend this episode quite highly, because in my opinion, it had all the aspects of a great episode, including a great storyline, excellent humour and a very enjoyable series of events. Well done, Family Guy, and I hope there is more greatness to come!moreless

You're so considerate. Peter: It was nothing! (smacks lamp off of the nightstand and it breaks. Pulls the bed over the broken lamp. Backs out of the room and breaks something else, moving furniture over it as well.) Edit
    • Lois: Peter listen to me. My sister just called. Her baby's due any day now and Ted just walked out on her. Peter: Woah! Woah! Back it up. You have a sister?

    • Star Trek: The Next Generation The computer voice is an allusion to "Star Trek: The Next Generation". The computer is also voiced by Majel Barrett who did so on ST:TNG. Edit
    • Galaga If you listen closely, the sound the "sperm" ships make when they're shot is the same sound in the video game Galaga. Edit
    • Hogan's Heroes Cleveland: Hey, Peter. (watches Stewie escape from the Mecha-Peter lying on the ground) I see nothing... nothing! This was a catch phrase of Sergeant Hans Schultz, the bumbling German sergeant from the 1960's sitcom Hogan's Heroes, about a group of allied prisoners of war and their efforts to sabotage the German war effort. Schultz, secretly sympathetic to the cause of the allies, often shouted the phrase to acknowledge that he would not report the prisoners' shenanigans to his superiors. Edit
