An excellent episode. Definitly of the best Family Guy episodes (both the show and pre-cancelation) I' ve seen. I liked almost everything in this episode. Although the beginning was a bit slow, but I kinda the scene where the guys shoot the fleas. Parts I laughed were "I need an adult " gag, Stewie's role through out the entire episode (especially when he was fat), Peter sticking his thumb, Chris trying to excerise by losing weight, Meg's part (was funny because she wanted to be like Peter), and a few more. Overall, an excellent and hilarious Family Guy episode...watched it for like 10 times already...including last week. 10/10moreless

    What I liked:
    -The cop thinking Chris had hams
    - I NEED AN ADULT! I NEED AN ADULT
    - Telling Peter You cant park your van on the divingboard
    -the exterminators
    -The guy pointing to chris asking Peter "what's that?"

    what i liked- the lemonade standcutaway, fat stewie, stewie trying to get the ice cream in his mouth, brian spinning stewie around and around, the cop thinking chris was stealing something, the guy at the pool telling peter to move his car (or jeep or whatever it was, point is the line was funny), amongst other things.
    it was pretty good. however, the ending felt really rushed. the episode, as a whole is pretty good, but peter all of a sudden being distracted by himself, and crashing, and then reverting back to his old shape and form seemed rushed to me, as well as the final line of the episode. so, because of all of this, final grade is an A- or so. Only thing stopping it from being perfect is the last few minutes/seconds feeling rushedmoreless

    When The griffin's house becomes infested with fleas, they must move into a hotel until the fleas are gone. Chris becomes embarrased with his weight, so Lois starts preparing him healthy meals, and he starts exercising. Stewie starts mocking Chris, by eating everything in sight, and he soon becomes overweight. Cleveland suggests that Chris should get liposuction to remove the fat. Chris dosn't want to, but Peter gets it and becomes skinny. he soon gets more surgery, and becomes very buff. After falling off a cliff, he becomes fat again, and says he didn't learn a lesson.

    This was a great epsiode, with Stewie being a jerk to Chris, and him eating the ice cream. I also loved Peter yelling "I need an adult!"

    Overall Grade: 100%/A++moreless

    "He's Too Sexy For His Fat"

    Grade: A*

    My god this episode is so funny it might be the best Family Guy episode (though its hard to rate the best ones). I've watched it so many times now and it still makes me laugh out loud. The jokes are obvious and some are silly but it still works.

    The episode starts off with the Griffins noticing that there are fleas in the house. They escape and phone the exterminators to deal with the pests. Brian feels bad about the situation and sends the Griffins to a fancy hotel while the exterminators clean the house.
    The family go swimming and Chris doesn't want to go in and take his shirt off. He tells Peter and Lois that he is fat, and the staff make fun of him by confusing him with a "van on the diving board", and Peter stops him from moving using a driving wheel accessory. Lois tells Chris that he can help him lose weight.
    Back at the house, Lois gives Chris a vegetable meal and this gives Stewie an opportunity to mock Chris. Peter takes Chris to the gym and he is still not losing weight and claims he's gained weight (Stewie was stuck inside him). Cleveland suggests to Peter that Chris takes Liposuction but Chris declines the offer. However, Peter comes back really skinning and the family is shocked. A few days later, Peter has surgery again and gains muscle, making Lois more attracted to him more than ever before.
    Meanwhile, Stewie's constant mockery of Chris' weight and diet makes him fat himself and becomes so big that he cannot even walk. Brian tells Stewie that he shout be ashamed and ends up taking advantage of him.
    At the supermarket, Peter finds out that he is beautiful and people do stuff for them as a result. Peter gets invited to the Quahog Beautiful People's Club and enjoys it. Lois tells Peter to take Chris with him, but because the staff recognise he's fat, he's not allowed in and leaves Chris outside.
    Peter comes back home and Lois is upset with him because of treating Chris badly. Peter storms out and drives in the car for a while, but looks in the rear mirror and can't stop admiring himself. He looks away from the wheel and ends up crashing into a tree and falling into a Lard Factory.
    Peter ends up in hospital and his shape is back to normal after eating alot of Lard from the factory. Peter apologizes to Chris for being a jerk and Lois tells him that he's learned something, in which he simply replies "Nope"

    One of the funniest episodes ever and the constant mocking of Chris was really funny, and Peter acting like a real jerk after the operation was classic. He's Too Sexy For His Fat is definatly one of the best, and cannot be missed.moreless

    • When Peter is in the hospital, Stewie has somehow lost all of his weight with no explanation. Edit
    • In the scene at the hotel pool where Peter mentions his ancestor Jabba Griffin, Lois is barefoot, but when we cut back to them a couple of seconds later, she's wearing shoes. Edit
    • When Peter is in line at the supermarket, he has his glasses on. After yelling "I need an adult! I need an adult!" his glasses disappear. The cartoonists probably realized that "attractive Peter" doesn't wear glasses and didn't draw them in from that point on. Edit
