    This episode was okay, but I think this was the worst Road to episode ever because I was bored throughout it. I liked almost all of the road to episodes ,expect this one. 45% of the parts could have been better. The part where Brian, Stewie, Mort, and the people dancing at a place was pretty much boring. I laughed at the parts where Mort uses Stewie's machine as a restroom, Stewie's cutaway when the thing say the wrong animal noises, Mort saying "If they catch me, they'll beat me unmerciful, and rub dirt in my ***neck and over my **** nipples," then Stewie was confused, the deleted scene when Mort cussesconstantly, McClain-Palin gag, Stewie as Hilter, and Mort pooping the time machine. Overall, this road to episode could have been better, but I still liked it barley. 6.5/10moreless

    what i liked- meg in the bathroom and the reveal quagmire is also in the bathroom, the ending to the episode, the Palin/McCain sticker scene, stewie and brian walking into the church and asking if anyone there is named Mort, and the other questions they ask in which all the people in the church/temple raise their hands, etc.
    eh, it was alright. Kind of boring and definitely not one I would want to watch again anytime soon. It's kind of funny how When You Wish Upon a Weinstein was banned because of the Jewish aspect, but this, a far worse (in terms of how they portray Jewish people) episode is not banned. Anyway, this was OK. not their best, not their worst. kind of average actually. C+ or somoreless

    A boring and offensive Family guy episode, please do not watch

  • My favorite Family Guy episode.

    This is my favorite episode of all. I loved, for example, how even in a cartoon, the scary atmosphere of Weimar Germany was captured. I especially appreciated all the little touches, such as the McCain-Palin button on the Nazi uniform. The scene where all the black and whites piled up near the downed sub really cracked me up (as did the moment at the synagogue when Stewie realizes the Nazis are attacking and chucks his yarmulke onto Brian's head)!!!

    The animation was exceptional, as was the music, and the way the characters changed roles was fantastic. I could list all the allusions that I enjoyed but that has already been done on the main page under, what else, "Allusions." I would even recommend this episode to my parents, and they are not Family Guy watchers.moreless
  • Mort inadvertandly travels back in time to the day of the German invasion of Poland after mistaking a time machine in Stewie's room for a port-a-potty. Brian and Stewie travel back to rescue him, hilarity fails to ensue.moreless

    So bad I finally joined just so I could voice my opinion. I didn't smile once during this ep, honest truth. Every joke was predictable old news and failed to catch me off guard. If you've never seen Family Guy before don't start here. With American Dad and South Park at their prime right now you would be wasting your time, there's just no contest.

    If this is the future of Family Guy, I would recommend euthanasia to prevent the good stuff from being spoiled by this tired attempt and any others like it. These of the words of an ex worshiper, I'm only a fan now.moreless

    • This is Stewie's third trip into time (the other two being Mind Over Murder and Stu & Stewie's Excellent Adventure) as well as Brian's second trip into time (the other being Meet The Quagmires).

    • One of the Nazi uniforms that was stolen had a McCain-Palin campaign button on it.

    ADD QUOTES
    • Stewie: Germany is producing weapons of mass destruction? Why doesn't America just go over there and kick their asses? Brian: I don't know, (slowly turns to face the screen) maybe because they don't have any oil. Stewie: Ooh! Clap, clap, clap!

    • Nazi: (to Mort) Are you really a priest? Stewie: Oh, yeah, yeah. I can vouch for him. He's molested me many times.

    • Stewie: Uh-oh. Brian: What? Stewie: My time machine has been activated. Brian: Time machine? I didn't know you had a time machine. Stewie: Yeah, I built it after I got bored with that European See and Say. See and Say: The pig goes Wank. The Cow goes Sha-zoo. Stewie: It most certainly does not. See and Say: The rooster goes Chickory-gee. Stewie: Where? Where does the rooster say that? See and Say: The monkey goes Makawk. Stewie: Oh no no no, it does not. See and Say: The elephant goes Thwomp. Stewie: Yeah, kinda.

    • (Brian & Stewie walk into a Hebrew church) Stewie: Uh, excuse me. We're looking for a Mr. Goldman. (Every man in the church raises their hand) Brian: Mr. Mort Goldman. (Half the men lower their hands) Stewie: He's a small business owner. Tends to whine alot. Kind of a hypocondriac. (The half that lowered their hands raise them again) Stewie: No, no! You can't put your hand back up after you've put it down...You know what, never mind.

    • Mort: Hey guys, can I poop in here? Brian and Stewie: No! Mort: Too late.

  • ALLUSIONS (13)

    ADD ALLUSIONS
    • Top Gun Stewie refers to Brian as "Goose", which is a allusion to the movie Top Gun.

    • Jerky Boys During the scene where Mort is talking about what the Nazis would do to him if he were captured, he uses phrasing from his Jerky Boys prank phone call CDs featuring the character Sol Rosenberg.

    • Coca-Cola Commercial "Mean" Joe Green: Hey kid, catch. (Tosses the uranium to Stewie) Stewie: Thanks "Mean" Joe! This is alluding to the Coca-Cola commercial where a kid gives Joe Green a coke and in return "Mean" Joe gives the kid his jersey. The commercial aired in 1979 during the Super Bowl. This joke was previously used in the episode 'Peter, Peter, Caviar Eater' except it was Peter in that episode instead of Stewie.

    • Indiana Jones When Mort, Stewie and Brian escape the crashing plane on an inflatable raft, they're referencing Indiana Jones and The Temple of Doom, while the chase scene featuring the Nazis on motor bikes resembles Indiana Jones and The Last Crusade.

    • Disneyland The motto displayed outside of wartime Berlin -- "The Happiest Place On Earth" -- is also the motto of this theme park.

    • German Scientist: We're having much better luck developing this impressive collection of 100 Luftballons. (One of the balloons bursts). A reference to a song called 99 Luftballons by Nena from 1983.

    • German UBoat Soldier: Ach! unsere Unter See Bootsen schtielen mit ein dog und baby und Art Garfunkel. Mort Goldman is mistaken for Art Garfunkel who is an American singer/songwriter (born 2 years after this episode is set). He was, however, of Romanian Jewish descent.

    • Star Wars When Stewie, Brian and Mort steal the German officers uniforms, you can hear a spacelike gunshot. This gunshot is similar to Star Wars when they shoot the Stormtroopers for their uniforms.

    • Little Shop Of Horrors Rick Moranis' explanation of how he saw Mort step into the time machine with the aid of the back-up dancers was set to the tune of Da-Doo from the classic musical.

    • Back To The Future This episode had a lot of references to Back to the Future. The way Stewie and Brian enter 1939 is similar to the way the DeLorean appears. During the scene where Brian, Stewie, and Mort are being chased by Nazis, the music playing during the scene where Marty is being chased during Biff and his gang. Also, Stewie uses a custom-made skateboard to escape the Nazis and leaves them to crash into a manure truck, just as Marty did.

    • Duck Soup The mirroring scene between Stewie and Hitler is a reference to this Marx Brothers film.

    • Flash Gordon The scene of the winged soldiers attacking the German planes is a reference to this film.

    • Blues Brothers After the German piloted U-Boat crashes on the sea floor a number of police cars pile up alongside it. This is a reference to The Blues Brothers, where several times while chasing Jake and Elwood the police end up in large pileups.
