    The episode was good until Paddy was killed off by Stewie and Brian, and I liked how Lois said "MARCHING BALLS" to Peter's tank.

  • Meg gets a job at a SuperStore after Peter uses her car money to buy a tank

    I thought that this was a hilarious episode of "Family Guy". It definitely had a lot of laughs and it was well written. Peter, Joe, Quagmire, and Cleveland roller skating in the beginning of the episode and dancing like it was the 80s was hilarious. The scene with the crazy guy driving a hummer while watching the movie "Madagascar" was hilarious. The cutaway with the toilet having herpes was very funny. Peter buying a tank with Meg's car money was super funny. It was hilarious when Peter got the tank at Cleveland's house and Cleveland falls down with the bathtub. Peter running over Joe's legs with the tank was absolutely hilarious. It was very funny when Peter and the town of Quahog were protesting the SuperStore taking over the businesses and then Peter works at the SuperStore was very funny. It was very funny when Peter would make fart sounds for everytime someone says "Meg". It was very funny when Peter is fooling around at the SuperStore. Brian and Stewie using Peter's tank to destroy the SuperStore was an absolutely hilarious. The very end of the episode was funny as well. Overall, a hilarious episode of "Family Guy". 10/10moreless

    In this episode, Meg gets a job at Superstore USA in order to get money to pay for a car. However, eventually it brings the town down to no power what so ever. Then Brian and Stewie use a tank(that Peter decided to buy earlier in the episode) to destory the Superstore. This episode had a good story overall, but not really any laughs at all. The cutaways here were pretty bad overall, with the only good one being about the ghost whisperer, which I don't even watch. Overall, this episode is a bit weak, but it's not nearly as bad as some other crappy episodes, like Boys do cry or most of season 8. So watch it once, maybe, but it's not a season or series classic.moreless

    This may not be the Family Guy of old, but just compare this to some Season 7 or 8 episodes and you'll really appreciate it. The bit about that kind of drunk where you're actually a better driver was classic, and is still one of the most quotable lines from newer Family Guy episodes.

    I really don't much care for these Brian politically-driven episodes (like the marijuana one) but this was a solid episode if you ignored the anti Wal-Mart bias throughout.

    While far from perfect, this had a lot of laughs and was actually worth watching, more than I can say for Season 8.moreless

    • When Peter is dressed as Patton, he is wearing two stars on his epaulets, indicating that he is a major general, but he has three stars on his helmet, indicating he is a lieutenant general. Edit
    • When Lois asks Brian about the air conditioning, the thermostat is on the wall next to the kitchen window. As soon as Peter walks in dressed as Patton, the cabinets on the wall are flush with the window and the thermostat has disappeared. Edit
