  • A not that much humor episode

    Peter's boss comes to dinner at the Griffin house but soon dies. The Happy-Go-Lucky Toy Factory is turned into the Happy-Go-Lucky Terminal Disease Institute. Unemployed, Peter begins his search for a job and ends up going after his lifelong dream of becoming a knight at a traveling Renaissance Fair. Caught in a compromising position with the infamous Black Knight's wench, he must defend his family's honor in an duel with the Black Knight. I thought tis was a good episode. For FG 1999-2002 standards, this episode didn't made me laugh that much. In my opinion, I got a little bored watching it. There were a few flaws here. The song that the kids sang took forever so everything I see this episode, I just skip that scene for like a minute and a half. Also, this episode saw the last appearance of Mr. Weed. I thought he was a funny character. And I think there is a couple more problems but now I'm moving on with the humor. I laughed at the the begining, Electric Company cutaway, Death's dog, Mort's appearance throughout the episode, and Bruce's appearance. Overall, a good but weak episode. 7/10moreless

    Peter's boss, Mr. Weed, comes to dinner and is impressed so much he promotes Peter, but he soon dies from choking. Peter is sad but happy about his new promotion, until a video will reveals that the toy company is to be demolished. Now Peter needs to find a new job. Will he be able to find one that sticks?

    Good episode. Parts I found funny; Peter as a prostitute, the cutaway involving the guy cleaning the vacuum, the "clink" noises, the ending of the episode it was a funny episode. My only main beef is how Peter beat the Dark Knight. Mort towing his car because "Nobody makes a fool out of Mort Goldman!" Um Mort, the Dark Knight didn't make a fool of you; you did, by running away on your horse when you were going to duel him. So, you towing his car is totally unjustified. This wouldn't bother me so much if it wasn't why Peter beat the Dark Knight, but he beat the Dark Knight because he was distracted because Mort (stupidly) towed his car as payback for "making a fool out of him", which the Dark Knight did not do. Overall though this was a good episode, this thing in the plot though is kind of a stupid loophole or whatever the right word is. Bmoreless

  • Death of Mr, weed

    When Peter's boss Mr. Weed comes to dinner at his house, he dies. The toy factory closes down, and Peter is out of a job. He applies for a job at the rennesance fair, and sees that the black knight, who saved his life works there. The knight kicks Peter out, but at the day of the joust, Peter jousts him and wins.

    This was a pretty good episode. I liked seeing the kids singing, and Mort was really funny too. I also liked Bruce's random apperance, and Death's dog, who was also funny too. Overall Grade: 85%/ B+

  • Good concept, and this was an interesting episode!

    9.5
    "Superb"
    By amazing_race, Feb 26, 2010
    I found this episode to be quite funny and enjoyable, but I still prefer some of the last few episodes over this one.

    I liked the concept of Peter trying to be a knight, but I was sort of disappointed that his former boss had to be killed off.

    There were loads of funny scenes, and that was perhaps the best part of this episode, but I think that once again, it wasn't up to the standard of the last one, or a couple before that.

    I would recommend this, because it was quite funny, but I wouldn't recommend this episode as highly as the last few.moreless

  • QUOTES (9)

    ADD QUOTES

    • Peter: Are you training to be a jouster too? Mort: Yes. I'm trying to overcome my terrible fear of swords. A man in a pirate costume stabbed me in the ear when I was nine, and again when I was thirty!

    • Tom Tucker: And now here's Ollie Williams with the BlaccuWeather forecast. Ollie? Ollie Williams: It's gon rain!

    • Death's Dog: Hey, did someone choke on a roll in here? Brian: No, no, no. I spit it up. Death's Dog: Oh. (He leaves the house)

    • Tom Tucker: The crowd has fallen deathly ill.. silent.. sorry.

    • Peter: (To Lois, after she tells Peter that he should pursue his dream job.) You know, since money's getting tight, I was gonna suggest that we eat the kids. You know, jokingly at first, but then I was gonna gauge your reaction and if you were cool with it, we would go from there, but this is a much better idea.

    • Peter: Hey, kids! Hey, you know what I do? I work at a toy factory and you know what I do there? Boy: I bet you're just one of those low-level assembly-line guys who stands there all day screwing heads on dolls. 'Ooh, is it on straight? I don't know.' Boooo! Peter: Why, you little snot-nosed... Teacher: Mr. Griffin! (Whispering to Peter) He plays kickball in the park after school. Get him there. (Aloud to the class) Does anyone have any questions for Mr. Griffin?

    • Stewie: (to Meg, about Peter being dressed like a hooker) It's eerie, isn't it? It's like looking into the future.

    • Black Knight: You see kids your father is nothing but a fizzle! Peter: Nobody calls me a fizzle and gets away with it! Except that one guy who called me a fizzle and then ran off. He got away with it. But most people who call me a fizzle don't get away with it. Well, actually, that guy who got away with it was the only one who ever called me a fizzle. After today ... only half the people who ever called me a fizzle will have gotten away with it.

    • Stewie: How ya doin' there, Big Guy? You holdin' up okay? You wanna sooda? ...Ah, screw it, I tried.
