  • Quagmire cheats with Cleveland's wife

    When Peter hears Loretta scream, he tries to help out, but discovers Loretta is cheating on Cleveland. Peter figures out that it was Quagmire and decides to tell Cleveland about it. But when Loretta walks out on Cleveland he doesn't take it lightly. Last episode with Cleveland and Loretta together. It had the usual humor especially most of the cutaways here. Parts I mainly laughed at were the beginning with them saying celebrities' names, the CPR meeting, Peter doing CPR on the guy, Quagmire sleeping with Loretta, and a few more. My score is lower because Cleveland was a little out of character (although it was kinda funny) plus in my opinion he didn't got that jerky as much as he in his own show (in some of the episodes). Otherwise, an excellent episode. 9.5/10moreless

    When Peter hears Loretta scream, he tries to help out, but discovers Loretta is cheating on Cleveland. Peter figures out that it was Quagmire and decides to tell Cleveland about it. But when Loretta walks out on Cleveland he doesn't take it lightly.

    I liked the "You've been kicked in the nuts" gag, and the "let the hate flow through, YOU'RE NOT HELPING", and I liked how Cleveland tried to kick Quagmire's ass. What I didn't like was how Cleveland couldnt hurt Quagmire, so you're just going to let a man sleep with your wife and forgive him? Jeez..

  • This episode not only changed Family Guy permently, but it gave me a new respect for Cleveland.

    In this episode Cleveland's wife, Loretta, cheats on him with Quagmire. At first he's barely upset at all, but eventually he goes on an angry rampage to kill Quagmire. As the title suggests, this is a crazy episode, yet the story somehow all flows together, and on a side note the cutaways work pretty nicely here, the best of which is the vauderdale boys and the aids song. Also, through episode, I began to like Cleveland better through this episode. Before this ep, I enjoyed Cleveland, but he felt more like an misused side-character, but here he's used to perfect effect from his gentle nature to his angry outburst to his return to gentle nature, this is Cleveland's best storyline ever, and watching this made me sad to not see him in the newer episodes of family guy. :(. Overall, I'm not afraid to classify this as one of my top 20 favorites, and I highly suggest you watch this episode. 9/10moreless

    Haha, great episode. Peter compares kissing the CPR dummy to kissing Faye Dunaway. LMAO! I loved when Quagmire's hand is in Loretta's shirt, and Cleveland just ignores it. Peter attempts CPR on a living, breathing man. LMAO! I loved when the guy gave Joe CPR, and Peter's like, "Eew, gay LMAO! Loretta tells Quagmire to shut up, and to put some more sugar in her bowl. LMAO! I love Family Guy, Seth MacFarlane, Alex Borstein, and all of the Family Guy cast and crew. They're geniuses. I love when Brian asks Meg if she wants to have sex. Great episode, definitely.moreless

    Peter and Brian catch Loretta sleeping with another man, but don't catch the man. It turns out the man was Quagmire. Soon Cleveland and Loretta break up, and at first, Cleveland does not care. But soon he wants to make Quagmire pay. They are about to fight but in the end they do not and their friendship is restored.

    A decent episode, not one of their all-time best, but from what I remember it is watchable. It had a decent plot and some good jokes, my overall grade for this episode is a B- or so. Good, but not greatmoreless

    • In the Superman II cutaway, the villain Non and Superman engage in a brief conversation regarding the effectiveness of Superman's "cellophane S."

    • Peter plays the B-52's song "Rock Lobster" on a six-string guitar, assumedly with standard tuning. However, this song is actually played with the middle two strings removed and the remaining four strings tuned strangely.

    • (Joe falls in the ocean.) Bonnie: Somebody save him, he can't swim! Peter: Oh, he's not even kicking. Kick Joe, kick. Lois: Peter, he's a paraplegic! Peter: That doesn't mean he can't hear. Kick Joe, kick!

    • Brian: Hey, do you hear that? Peter: What? Brian: Sounds like someone's screaming. Peter: What? What is it boy? What are you trying to say? Brian: It sounds like Loretta is screaming.

    • Darrin Stevens: (Sprinkling holy water on Endora) The power of Christ compels you, bitch!

    • Cleveland: (angrily) Glenn Quagmire, you're dead!!

  • NOTES (2)

    ADD NOTES

    • According to the DVD when Alex Borstein first did Loretta's voice she hated it and didn't realise she would have to keep doing so asked for Loretta to be written out of the show

    • Some FOX affiliates bleeped out the word "nuts" at the end of the episode. Some other affiliates instead bleeped out "kicked". Adult Swim,however, did not bleep anything.

  • ALLUSIONS (13)

    ADD ALLUSIONS

    • John Edward: Lois references this psychic, who claims to be able to speak to the dead. His readings often begin as him "receiving" letters referring to dead relatives. Critics have alleged that he engages in cold reading.

    • Natalie Wood: Peter's guess at charades references this actress who died at age 43 when she fell off of a boat and drowned.

    • Johnny Tremain Peter reads this Ester Forbes book while he is intoxicated at the library.

    • Darren: The power of Christ compels you, bitch! This is a twisted take on a line from the movie The Exocist.

    • Lassie Peter trying to decipher what Brian is telling him (even though Brian is speaking clearly) is a take-off from the Lassie movies and tv series.

    • Quagmire's "My Fellow Americans" flashback is obviously an allusion to the infamous Monica Lewinsky scandal, which involved Bill Clinton having sexual relations with his intern. Quagmire even looks like President Clinton in this scene.

    • Popeye The part when Cleveland finally learns to get angry at Lorettas infidelity (and blows steam from his ears) is an obvious reference to the old Popeye cartoons, when Popeye ate his tin of spinach.

    • Kicked in the Nuts! Mike and Patrick Henry's highly popular internet series from 2003, Kicked in the Nuts! involved Mike Henry dressing up in an orange wig, pretending to kick actors in the nuts as a parody of hidden camera shows.

    • Transformers

      The transition where Peter and Brian head over to Quagmire's house and the picture of Peter's head swaps with that of Glen's is a rip-off from the show Transformers. The music used from the transition is also taken from the show.

    • Rocky This episode has three allusions to the Rocky films. The first is when Cleveland is doing pull-ups in the front doorway of the Griffin home and a character resembling Mickey is seen to Cleveland's right. The second is at the very end of the episode when Quagmire and Cleveland are starting a friendly boxing match. Quagmire even calls Cleveland "Apollo." The third is when the song "Eye of the Tiger" by Survivor is played just before the closing credits; that song was played in "Rocky III" and "Rocky "IV".

    • Bewitched

      Bewitched - A popular television show running from 1964 - 1972 featured a witch (Samantha) married to a mortal man (Darrin). Samantha's mother (Endora) was never fond of Darrin and often made him the brunt of all of her schemes and jokes. FG clearly takes it to the next level giving Darrin his revenge.

    • Star Wars: Return of the Jedi The man who tells Cleveland to feel his hate and anger and encourages him to beat up Quagmire is based on The Emperor from Star Wars who encourages Luke to turn to the dark side. This is the third consecutively aired episode in a row to feature an allusion to the Star Wars franchise.

    • Saturday Night Live

      At one point, Cleveland and Quagmire show up in weird outfits complete with plaid pants. In a foriegn accent Quagmire says, "We're a couple of wild and crazy guys." Then Peter walks in with a cone shaped head and an alien space suit. This is a direct copy of SNL skits by Steve Martin (Wild and Crazy Guys) and Dan Ankroyd (Both.)
