Lois becomes a model and Stewie starts a marketing company

Lois fulfills a lifelong dream of being a model. Stewie starts on a multi-level marketing company. Brian in need of cash to buy his de-worming medication agrees to become his salesman. An FG episode that is yet great but just not the best. I like this episode and I would recommend it but I just thought it was dragged and got very boring to watch just in the main plot with Lois being a model though. I also found Lois to be irritating here so that's what also lowered my score. The subplot with Brian and Stewie was twice as more hilarious and better than the main plot though. My score would've lowered just a little more if it weren't for the subplot. There were some hilarious moments in this episode such as the four Peters, The Griffin family competing in the race and they float more faster by taking off their clothes and throwing Meg out, Carter's appearance as a whole was very funny and his tan was awesome, the cutaway with Peter shouting that Meg is on her first period and he is excited that she is becoming a woman which wakes up Joe, Quagmire, and Cleveland with them getting mad at Peter and telling him that it's 3am, Stewie pointing out to Brian that his mug says "Life's a beach" which is close to Life's a b***", and more. I also found the very ending of the episode to be hilarious as well. The most classic and most hilarious moment out of the whole entire episode, though, is the cookie monster... I can never stop laughing even when I re-watch this episode, that part will just never get old me so cookie monster joke was by far a classic. So yeah, I enjoyed this episode and it's funny but the main plot was boring and dragged but not bad while the subplot never had a dull moment. Overall, a great episode of "Family Guy"... the subplot is better though. 8/10moreless

Lois fulfills a lifelong dream of being a model. Stewie starts on a multi-level marketing company. Brian in need of cash to buy his de-worming medication agrees to become his salesman. Eh, not as amazing as the previous couple episode. Lois' plot was decent, but my favorite. Also, I kinda don't like seeing Peter being mean to Meg for like the third time in a row, but it was a little funny. Stewie's plot was much funnier. I pretty much crack up at all the parts mainly the one with Sesame Street (the cookie monster and the phone call with Glover), as well as some of the dialog. As for the main plot, I only got a few laughs, but it okay to watch. Overall, great episode. 8.5/10moreless

I liked Stewie's plot more than Lois' plot, which was kind of boring.

Pretty good episode.

I thought this was a great episode for the most part. Both of the plots were pretty good, although I thought Brian and Stewie's was a little more interesting. There were some pretty funny parts throughout the episode like the Four Peters, Stewie talking to Grover on the phone, Rhode Island flipping a coin, and Cookie Monster. I also thought the very end was hilarious. However, this episode was sort of boring and kind of dragged at parts, especially in the middle. Overall, though, I still thought this was a pretty good episode for the most part. For my final grade, I'll give it a B. Marebear2009, out!moreless

Okay, so we all know that Lois is super annoying and unlikable, and her storyline here was brutal, but that does not mean this was not a good episode. This episode is on literally every week on TV, and yet I still find myself watching whenever it does come on.

For once the cutaway scenes were actually welcome here and not as obtrusive and annoying as they usually are. The cookie monster scene was an instant classic. Plus, Carter Pewterschmidt? Come on, it does not get any better than that, one of the most underrated characters on Family Guy these days.moreless

FILTER BY TYPE

TRIVIA (6)
ADD TRIVIA
- Lois's eye shadow disappears and reappears in some scenes.
  EDIT SHARE
- The cutaway involving Meg having her first period and the neighbors complaining brings up continuity questions. A woman can normally get her first period by the age of 12 or 13, but there have been some incidents of women having problems causing them not to have periods until a later time. If that was true for Meg, then Joe shouldn't have been there because he didn't move into the neighborhood until the episode 'A Hero Sits Next Door', and Meg was around 15 at the time. And since Meg was mentioned to be 16 in the season 2 episode 'Love Thy Trophy', and later turned 17 in the season 5 episode 'Peter's Two Dads', this can only mean Meg didn't have her first period until she was 16.
  EDIT SHARE
- The license plate on the limo Peter and Mr. Pewterschmidt use to kidnap Lois from the party says HOTBITCHES.
  EDIT SHARE
- When the Griffin family visits the Pewterschmidt mansion, you get to see Lois's old room. If you look at her wall, there is a "KISS" poster. In the episode, "Road to Europe," Lois says she wasn't much of a KISS fan. It was later revealed that she only said this because she didn't want Peter to know that she had dated Gene Simmons, lead singer of KISS
  EDIT SHARE
- The newspaper headline reads: DVD'S PAUSED FOR HEADLINE JOKE -- MILLIONS DISAPPOINTED.
  EDIT SHARE
- After Karin tilts her head back and acts like a pez dispenser, the door that was to the side of Lois suddenly disappears.
