    By thefanof, Oct 21, 2010
    The John McCain experience, Peter walking in on Lois watching the news about 9/11 and saying, "Bet it was a woman pilot, huh?", the guy who laughs at sarcasm, all Fox's successful sitcoms like That 70's Show, Peter as a maid, Carter Pewterschmidt, Peter saying Chinese Japanese dirty knees look at these, could you say whole speech again in Spanish and Rapid Dave.

    Why did I list all those things? Because in old episodes you could never count all the funny jokes on your fingers. It was classic line after classic line, intelligent reference after intelligent reference. Now it's just racially offensive for the purpose of being racially offensive ad nothing else. There's fart jokes aplenty and American Dad has surpassed the show, leaving it in the dust. As usual in new episodes, the story digressed and then completely split into a second part. Instead of pursuing Peter as a true patriot we were "blessed" with Peter a true Mexican. They need to stop with the vomiting and the stupid prop humor. Prop humor is barely funny when it's in live action shows, but it's terrible in cartoons.moreless

Haha, I loved this episode. The storyline was good and creative. Haha, Peter's mom wanted an abortion and he was born right there. LMAO when Peter comes down and crushes the kids... Then pukes and stuffs them under the bed. Haha, Seth MacFarlane is the best.moreless

  • This is what Seth Macfarlane is so worked up about?! :?

    I don't get it, I honestly can't. This episode of "Family Guy" is just like all the others, funny, irrelevant, silly, creative, and hilarious! If the Writer's Guild of America wanted to strike why didn't they do it in 2003-2004 when "Family Guy" actually Wasn't on the air and resolve their differences then? The sooner they get it resolved, the sooner Seth Macfarlane can stop acting like this episode was a crime against humanity and get back to his job. Peter has to state his views against immigrants, illegal or otherwise, and that involves opening his big mouth and having his words coming back to bite him; Hard! Not only was he Not born in the U.S.A., his mother never made him a naturalized citizen, and boy does that make things hard for Peter! If Peter had a dollar for every mistake he made that backfired on him, he'd be a billionaire! But he doesn't, and he ends up having to work for a Real billionaire, his father-in-law who relishes the opportunity of being to legally make his son-in-law's life like if Peter's life was like living in a living nightmare! But Peter and the other immigrants aren't going to take it laying down, they decide to storm the Pewterschmidt Mansion and give Lois' Father some well deserved comeuppance! But Mr. Pewterschmidt comes out well-prepared by proving that he didn't get to be a billionaire by being stupid, he offers Peter the opportunity to make his illegal immigrant status all go away by giving him naturalized status with one phone call. And even though Peter initially refuses to do so without the deal of having the other immigrants in on the deal, they all give him their okay saying that it's all right if it's only him that becomes a U.S. citizen, they are where they are and they're fine with that. So even though Peter didn't get to have some otherwise well-meaning Mexican immigrants become citizens like he has, at least he learned all immigrants aren't bad, in fact they built our country! :idea: Enough said, true believers! ;)moreless

This episode was just at best mediocre. It was not a must see and it wasn't in all that good and well planned out. It was very racial with its jokes but they werent funny. If you want to see a good episode, then dont bother watching this one.moreless

  • TRIVIA (4)

    ADD TRIVIA

    • In this episode, Peter is revealed to be an illegal Mexican immigrant. But Thelma is an American who gave birth in Mexico, she was on vacation when she gave birth to Peter, so Peter should still be a United States citizen.

    • In this episode, it is revealed that Peter was born in some kind of barn in Mexico while his mother was trying to get an abortion. However, in "And the Wiener Is..." when seemingly about to be killed by a bear his life flashes before his eyes. This flash back shows him to be born in a hospital.

    • When Carter Pewterschmidt saw the illegal immigrants celebrating Cinco de Mayo he stopped them and forced them to go back to work and they understood everything he said. However, just moments later when Peter gave them a motivational speech they didn't understand a word he said. In fact, Gerardo and everybody understood English for the whole episode except when Peter gave his speech.

    • You can see some of the migrant worker's kids playing with a "Ball in a Cup", first featured in the episode The Fat Guy Strangler.

  • NOTES (3)

    ADD NOTES

    • The episode makes several references to September 11th. Seth MacFarlane was actually scheduled to be on American Airlines Flight 11 that day, but due to a mix-up with his travel agent, he missed the plane.

    • This is the first episode that was aired by FOX without final approval from Seth MacFarlane, who at the time was on strike with the Writers Guild of America.

    • The title of this episode is Spanish for "Family Father", or "Parent". This is gramatically odd however, and should be "Padre de la Familia", meaning "Father of the Family". "Padre de Familia" is the actual title of Family Guy when it is subtitled in Spanish and aired in Mexico.

  • ALLUSIONS (5)

    ADD ALLUSIONS

    • Eddie Rabbitt The song playing in Quagmire's head while at the bar is "I Love a Rainy Night" by the late Eddie Rabbitt.

    • Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope When Brian tells Peter that immigrants are an important part of history, Peter reburkes, "They are a part of the Rebel Alliance and a traitor!" This is Darth Vader's line from Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope, which was spoken to Leia Organa.

    • Mary Poppins One of Peter's job choices is a nanny. He pretends to be Mary Poppins.

    • Jurassic Park The part where Peter offers up the goat to Toby Keith parodies the scene in the movie Jurassic Park where they try to lure the Tyrannosaurus Rex by offering it a goat.

    • Pyramid In the part where Peter is at the immigration office, Peter and the man are acting as if they were on the game show Pyramid, Dick Clark even appears as the host.
