  • Lois works for FOX news

    "Great"
    By tigerdude22, Mar 20, 2012
    I thought that this was a great episode of "Family Guy". I thought it was funny when Peter, Joe, Quagmire, and Cleveland were showing each other their new driver's license and then it was revealed that Quagmire was actually 61 years old (that was a funny surprise). It was funny when Stewie goes inside the boz after Peter bought the high definition television and I thought it was also funny when they were watching Ellen DeGeneres talking to Seth Rogen and you can see fish breath coming out of her mouth. It was hilarious when everyone freaked out after seeing Rhonda Latimer in high definition. It was funny when Lois was running home and then scraped her boob after he got hired to work for FOX news. The Batman cutaway was also hilarious when the signal was poop. I also loved the subplot when Peter wanted to create a cartoon for FOX to put on the air and he, Chris, and Meg try to brainstorm. I thought it was hilarious when Quagmire, Joe, and Cleveland were voicing in Peter's cartoon and then Cleveland is using an Australian accent when he suppose to use a moon accent. It was also funny that Peter showed CEO Peter Chernin his cartoon except he just wanted a small little change to Peter's cartoon which Peter missed up because it was just a little change. It was also funny that Rush Limbaugh and Michael Moore were actually portrayed by Fred Savage the whole time. My score was just a little low because I thought it was time-filler when Peter and Chris were whispering in the kitchen about Meg not getting the cartoon for like 3 times and I didn't like when Peter wasn't even willing to make that small change to his cartoon and air it on FOX. Also, some parts were sort of boring. Overall, a great episode of "Family Guy". 8.5/10moreless

    what i liked- every Handi-quack scene, with Meg suggesting something to add to the show, and Peter and Chris walk out and talk crap about her and her comedic style regarding the show, Brian calling the Fox guy "Adolf" and him saying that his grandparents died in the Holocaust, only for that to be a joke, Peter negotiating to get his show on the air, and failing because of his own stupidity, Fred Savage's appearance (whether or not that was really him, I dunno, but it was still funny), etc.
    good episode. not one of their all-time bests, but it certainly was a more than enjoyable way to spend a half hour of mytime. i laughed a lot and i really enjoyed Peter's Handi-Quacks scenes. B+ or so I think is fairfor myfinal grade.moreless

    Lois tries out for a job at Fox News, and she actually gets it. But Brian hates Fox News, and says that it is nothing but evil conservative media. Lois has to do a story on how Michael Moore and Rush Limbaugh are gay but she finds out that they are both fictional charactars played by Fred Savage.

    Meanwhile, Peter thinks he can make a cartoon on Fox now that Lois has a job there. He writes it with Meg and Chris, and it is called Handi Quacks.

    This was a pretty decent episode. While the main plot was awful and made no sense, I liked the Handi Quacks plot.

    Overall Grade: 70%/Cmoreless

    This episode made me laugh really hard, and was excellent - but only from the scene when Peter switches on the new TV up to the Ann Coulter scene.

    The show made fun of FOX of the FOX-haters at the same time, very much like Stone/Parker would have done. Inbetween, some really nice ideas could be found, like the Al-Gore-button.

    The scene where Lois runs home was hilarious, but only if you know the episode "Wasted Talent (2x20) where Peter does this.

    But after those 8 minutes, the episode becomes boring. The whole Fred Savage/Michael Moore idea was completely wasted.
    And even though this may be a trademark joke - having Peter and Chris go into the kitchen three times to talk about girl-Chris is just not all that funny.

    So all in all, half-great, half-lame.moreless

    • When Rush Limbaugh comes out of Michael Moore's house, he is putting on his jacket, but the video Lois shows has him coming out of the house with the jacket already on.

  • QUOTES (5)

    ADD QUOTES

    • Lois Griffin: I can't believe it! I have a true story, and FOX news doesn't want me to air it because it implicates Rush Limbaugh! Brain Griffin: See? That's what I've been saying! FOX news has a conservative bias, and they don't want you reporting any stories coming out that will embarrass Rush Limbaugh! Lois: But you didn't want me to report the story when it was going to embarrass Michael Moore! Brian: Okay; I'm biased to. But the difference with me is that I'm willing to admit it.

    • Lois: I'm glad everything's back to normal. I guess I just wasn't cut out to be a news reporter. Peter: Yeah, how did you lose your job anyway, Lois? Lois: Ah, I don't know, Peter. Do you really care? Does anyone really care? Peter: I guess you're right. The story's over, everything's back to normal 'til next week, so who gives a damn? Anyone got anything funny left to say? Stewie? Brian? Meg? Chris? No? Alright then. (to the camera) See you next week, folks!

    • Fox Exec: Well hi there Brian! Brian: How's it going, Adolf. Fox Exec: I'll have you know my grandparents died in the Holocaust! (Brian stares) Ahahaha, no, I'm just joking. They were there, though.

    • Meg: Mom, have you ever felt... not so fresh... down there? Lois: No. There must be something wrong with you. Meg: Really? Lois: Yeah. All the women I know never had that kind of problem.

    • Joe: Oh, she's just so smokin' hot! God, I would do things to her that... she would probably laugh at. You bitch!
