Family Guy

When a bully harasses Chris, Peter goes to his defense, but ends up beating him up. Peter realizes bullying is fun and begins to bully everyone in the house. Finally, Chris stands up to Peter and beats him senseless. Meanwhile, Stewie goes out without sunscreen and becomes obsessed with getting a tan. After Brian leaves him in the tanning booth for six hours, Stewie gets sunburned and fears he has cancer. While waiting for the results of his cancer screening, Stewie begins to live his life as if he had only days to live and drives Brian crazy with his demands.

I liked both plots, they were funny and original.

Overall, I reccomend this episode to every fan of the show.

10/10 A+

This episode just cracks me up! At the beginning, Peter, Quagmire, Joe, and Cleveland go golfing. Stewie gets a big tan from the sunlight, and Quagmire gets so frustrated from golfing! So they go home, and Lois gets mad. Meanwhile, someone else replaces Chris's paper route named Kyle. The next day, Kyle and his friends beat him up. So Peter go's to Kyles house to tell him what he did the other day was wrong, but due to Kyle calling him names, (Kyle: Your a poop nose)Peter beats him up! That part was so funny! And Stewie getting out of the tan machine was funny too. So then Peter starts acting like a bully, and even bullies his friends and family! So then he goes to bully an old bully in high school. But then, Chris beats Peter up! He tells Peter to stop bullying people, so he stops. And Stewie doesn't have a tan anymore, but thinks he has cancer from a black dot on his skin. But it turns out it isn't cancer. Overall, this episode is one of the best in Season 5!

Chris getting beat up was sorta funny, I felt bad for him though. The old man is extremely pedophile-ish, which is typically funny. Peter beating up that kid was funny and when Lois lectured him abouted when he ran up into the tree.



Stewie and his sun tan stuff was sorta funny how STewie thought he was all cool. Signs of Stewie's homosexuality comes out in one minor scene I noticed.



Peter being a bully to everyone was funny! I LOVED when he attacked Meg with his farts and Meg fell out crying and throwing up and Peter's all like "Meg that is gross.". I wish Chris had let Peter beat up the guy. He shouldn't have been mean to Peter back then. Overall, great episode, although not one of my TOP favorites.

This episode was ok, but it wasn't home-run like the score makes it seem like. The plot of Stewie tanning was really stupid, and although Peter becoming a bully was a decent plot, he was unlikeable throughout the epiosde, which doesn't help. The beginning with Quagmire screaming and cursing about him not being good at Golf was ok, but it went downhill quickly, and I thought some parts in the episode felt like they were trying to appeal to people who watch TV to hear F-bombs, and while that's fine try to appeal to the people who watch the crude humor and jokes. Also, there were stupid moments like Stewie staring at the painting which had no point. The Muppet's jokes also felt forced here, especially at the end. Overall, it's just ok. 7.5/10 C+

peter beats up a kid who was bullying chris and soon discovers it is great fun to be a bully.



stewie gets a bad tan and soon he fears he may have cancer {in the end he does not though}.



wow, i thought Peter was too unlikeable throughout this episode, and I didn't like the lesson at the end about bullying people. There was little to no laughs but the overall plot was alright, despite the lame lesson at the end.



My overall grade would be roughly a C+ or B-, it was passable but only by a few parts, I thought

The most obvious thing that will pop out to people about this episode is the hilarious use of role reversal. Bullying is an issue for young kids and cancer most of the time concerns old people, yet Stewie is the one dealing with the possibility of cancer and it's Peter that has bullying issues. This creates for a lot of knee slapping jokes and situations, such as when Peter beats up the bully and hides from Louis in the trees, or when Stewie gets arrogant and poses like he is a model when tanning. There are just so many hilarious jokes and scenes that crack you up.

This Episode was Amazing. A lot of funny cut ways and Jokes and Great Plot. This Episode show's Peter Stupidity and Nativity, and also shows how easily Stewie can be swayed to a fad. Like I said the Episode had many great jokes such as When Brian says Stewie has the C Word, and Stewie asks what in the world that has to do with anything until he realizes Brian is talking about cancer. Also the joke with Muppets and when Peter beats up a 13 year old kid, and I shed a tear when Stewie sings the Beach Boys Song. The Episode was one of my favorites and I will always laugh because of it. Adios, Vamp.

Ok, this was my favorite episode of Family Guy ever! It was so funny, and I had a great time watching it! First of all, I loved the Britney Spears gag, and also the Gremlins scene! It was so good. It was just an awesome episode, and I have seen it over ten times! I also liked when Peter was farting at Meg, and being a bully to everyone. I think Seth is a genius for making Family Guy. That is why I would give this episode a 10.0! That is why this is my favorite episode of Family Guy! I think everyone should see this one!

This is one of my favourite episodes of Family Guy. I was given season 6 on DVD for christmas, and I watched this episode over and over. The parts i particulary loved were the Wisconsin nymphomaniac, the Chigago Museum of Art scene, the flashback of Peter being pantsed by Randy Fulcher, the "father-son beat-off", and Dick Cheney becoming a Wal-Mart greeter. Some of the classicly funny parts of Family Guy.



However, I didn't think Quagmire's anger management problem was as funny as it was intended to be, and i would have liked ro have seen less of Herbert. A great episode that I found funny and entertaining.



"Go >beep!< youself" - Dick Cheney.

When a bully harasses Chris, Peter goes to his defense, but ends up beating him up. Peter realizes bullying is fun and begins to bully everyone in the house. Finally, Chris stands up to Peter and beats him senseless. Meanwhile, Stewie goes out without sunscreen and becomes obsessed with getting a tan. After Brian leaves him in the tanning booth for six hours, Stewie gets sunburned and fears he has cancer. While waiting for the results of his cancer screening, Stewie begins to live his life as if he had only days to live and drives Brian crazy with his demands.

This episode quickly became one of my favorite episodes of the series. It packed the entire 22 minutes with hilarity from beginning to end.



'Tan Stewie' is the highlight of the show in my opinion. His 'tan-ness' provides some of the best one liners that have been written for his character. I love his line, "I like it because it right above my lip. It's the kind of mustache that says, 'Yeah, I've been nude on camera. What of it?'"



Meanwhile, 'Bully' Peter beating the crap out of that kid, jumping out the window and running home, his conversation with Brian, and the subsequent interchange between Peter and Lois while Peter is hiding up in the tree are also a laugh out loud moment.



Let alone, the dirty old man and his acquiring of a new 'paperboy', provides a hilarious look at a smitten pedophile, and a hilarious quote, "We can settle this like reasonable, sexy young teenagers. Whoever can swallow the most Tylenol PM wins."

I like this episode, I like the jokes and I like the Animation and I like tanned Stewie.



If there was a good television episode about tanned people this is it! I really like it and I enjoy how Stewie thinks he's dying and so on and so on.



I have seen this episode about 5 times and I find it great, most of the episodes in Season 5 were pretty good, with some exceptions of course.



I hope they do more like these ones and Stewie was a good character go for this one, but can you imagine if Meg would be tanned(shivers)or Lois grrrrrrr.

When I saw this episode, I thought it was going to be cool. It turns out that it sucks!! I hate this episode so much it should never be one again. I keep seeing the old man (Hebert) about half the episode. I hat it and I just don't know why would anyone like it. What kind of baby would get a tan. If this episode could be better, either put Jillian, Brian's girlfriend, and/or get rid of the old man (Herbert). Otherwise, this episode is so awful, I recorded it to see if it was good and I just wasted $1 for a videotape to record it. What a MEGA huge waste of time.

Family Guy can always be relied on to deliever great humour. That is a point that isn't really doubted. However, what is rare is any TV show producing two classic episodes in a week. But if any show could do it, it was Family Guy.

Any number of cliches could be used to describe this episode. Non-stop laughs, side-splittingly funny, giggety giggety goo (okay, not a cliche, but I think I made my point). But what really made this episode great was that intangible one percent that seperates great episodes from very good. This episode just had that rare intangible, that compels you to laugh a little longer and harder, or to laugh at jokes you may otherwise have passed by.

Stewie's tormenting Brian has to be their best plot together, and Stewie's best episode since the show was brought back. Brian was also hilarious.

But Peter and Chris were something else. Ever thime either of these two come on screen I often pre-emptively laugh, and this time these laughs were well deserved. Peter bullying everyone before getting beaten up by Chris has to be one of the greatest scenes ever on Family Guy, up there with the Dukes Of Hazzard scenes, the Can't Touch Me song and the drinking game from the previous episode.

Yet another example of a terrific episode of Family Guy. The cast are on a hot streak now, let's hope it continues for a long time.

I laughed out loud hearing and watching this episode! I also almost ran out of breath laughing! When Peter hears from Kyle, Chris's arch-enemy, that bullying is fun, Peter starts bullying everyone in the house. He made Lois hit herself by grabbing her arms and making her hit herself. He also farted in Meg's face! Meanwhile, Stewie stayed outside too long and got sunburn! And he liked it too?!

I don't completely agree with the idea some people have that the quality of comedy has been degrading on family guy episodes this season. I believe all seasons have had their own bad episodes, I don't believe that this might be the worst yet. This episode I thought in my opinion, had a lot of good stuff. Tan Stewie was hilarious, plus Stewie's Tan Walk was brilliant. Peter of course like always get's to make the bad decision and go thru with it and come out of it without a lesson to be learned, so either way, it's not like it hasn't been done. But why should we expect more out of family guy. It is what it is!

stewie gets a tan by accident whwen peter left him out in the sun to long when he played golf meanwhile peter stabds up to chirs bully but peter beats him up and peter becomes a bully himslef and bullys everone in his family peter finaly decides to ghet revenge on his old high school bully randy but chirs stabds up to peter and tells him no brain leaves stewie in the tanning both to long and stewie thinks he know has skin cancer and stewie drives brain carzy with his demands stewie fins out he dies not have cancer

This episodes detours didnt seem to make me laugh as much. The main storyline was pretty weak, and none of the jokes seemed to hit as hard as previous episodes this season. Brian and Stewie make up the majority of the jokes again, and they do work sometimes. Stewie seems to get more blatant in his homosexuality every episode, but it never gets old. The squiggly line joke towards the end of the episode puts into words what I could never do. And Stewie does it so well. Also the Dick Chaney joke comes out of left field, but very good.

we call that tan panic like "tanic" how stewie get in through. I really really have great fun when I watched this episode. Stewie is like always the star of the episode and do I need to say why? It's well written, the fun is neverended. Peter's part maybe some kind of boring but it's okey.

this episode was mainly abotu chris getting bullied and also his dad being bullyed as a child. the episode starts as chris delivering mail and sees a new paper boy. and so they get into a argument about who is the best paper boy. later chris gets into a big fight with the new paper boy. peter tells a story when he was bullied as a child. he then acts out and travels to the paper boys home. he then asks for him then is welcomed up stairs and then tragicly beats up the new paper boy. then he gets in trouble with louis. later he apoligizes to the new paper boy and is turned into a bully minion. he then goes around bullieng his freinds and family wich is so hilarious. he then confronts his old bully in front of a hospital(bully in crutches) he the nthreatens the bully and tends to punch him. but gone too far his son chris jumps him and tells peter he has gone too far and in the end its pretty dumb.

Things are getting wacky around Peter's household. Peter becomes the neighborhood bully and Stewie becomes a tan fan. (A tan fan, that a neat name) Stewie spent most of the epiosde tanning until he was trapped in the tanning booth for six hours and comes out fryed like a crispp. Just like that "Steinfeld" episode when Krammer emerge from the tanning booth looking like a frayed turkey. Now Steweiw is worried that he has cancer. What I like about "Family guy" that they could take a subject matter and turn it into big laughs. This is a fine example of one episode.

Today we will review the Family guy episode 'the Tan Aquatic with Steve Zissou'. Let me start by saying this was a very forgettable episode so this review might lack in detail.



The plot of this episode was below average, by that I mean below average for FG so you know its bad, and it wasnt very interesting. Stewie's story involved him getting into tanning so naturally a plot where Stewie acted like a social stereotype followed. Although thats not automatically bad, the rest of that plot was pretty cliched. The Peter story I really hated. First of all it started out with Chris having a bullying problem but this wasnt resolved and changed to a story about Peter. For the Peter have we had to not only watch annoying childish Peter but also were exposed to outrageous and out of character Peter as he goes to far in bullying his family. I felt that the writers went to far with violence in this episode just because it was so over the top and out of character.



Now onto the jokes. Some good jokes, some bad jokes, but hey its better then Family Guy's usual of all bad jokes. Quagmire saying a certain bad word has at this point lost any humor it once had. Its fine to use those once in a long while so the audience can say 'did I hear right' but now its heard every other episode so it lost its taboo status, and makes for just another joke to kill time. The 'Ferris Bueller's Day Off' scene wasnt a joke, at the end of the day I could write a gag where Stewie reenacts a scene from a popular movie frame for frame with no chances and anyone else with half a brain could. One thing that bugs me is why they keep calling Britney Spears fat, sure she's down to her last handful of brain cells but she's not fat. Peter getting pantsed was pretty funny though and reminiscent of classic FG.



In conclusion bad plot and mild humor make for a below average episode.

Admittedly, the episode had its moments but as a whole, it's quite poor, both plots being ridiculous, Stewie tanned and Peter bullying and even for the plots, they weren't dealt with properly, Stewie doing a ripoff of Ferris Bueller's friend staring at the painting with no joke in the scene at all, and Peter farting at Meg.



My favourite character Quagmire was also screwed up in this episode, anger issues and swearing - saying the f word is not funny and some of the moments in the series seem to be put in unnaturally to be funny for the immature people that laugh at innapropriate words (like "I f-ing love madagascar" which was unnecessary).



While some scenes such as Brian drawing himself being hung and Peter's definition of MS were amusing, there were no moments that made me laugh and as soon as Stewie trusted Brian to wake him up, it was pretty predictable what would happen, so this was yet another boring episode that appeals to the lowest common denominator.

Episode was really enjoyable, but I sat through the entire thing trying to figure out why they spoofed the name of the Bill Murray movie without ever figuring it out. Near as I can tell the episode had nothing to do with the movie. Doesn't mean it was a bad episode though. It reminds me of some of the classic humor that Family Guy used to provide. Looks like they're finally getting back into the swing of things.

Focusing on the positive, this episode did have quite a bit of humor from Cleveland's Nixon mask on the golf course (c'mon! even on paper that is just funny!) to Stewie's Robert Evans-ish obsession with tanning. I'm not sure if Stewie's tan obsession was based on Robert Evans, but from the get-up, skin color, Hollywood party, and Jewish medallion, there are a lot of similarities. There were also some great Monkey Scrotum and Father-Son beat-off jokes near the end. Needless to say, there were plenty of good jokes in this episode.



But I am starting to notice more and more throw-away jokes. I don't know about other people, but an episode full of classic lines can be ruined by too many bad jokes. Like the generic Frosted Flakes reference with Terry the Tiger saying, "It'sssssssssssss Food!" How is that funny? I booed my TV when I saw that. Also, with the exception of the Fonzie Bear (sp?) appearance, I thought the Muppets joke(s) was awful. Maybe they had to have one bad joke in the middle to set up the good joke near the end? All I know is that Johnny Carson preached the truth when he said the length of time it takes to get to the punch line must be commensurate with how funny the punch line is. Anyways, the episode was still worth watching, but I suspect more and more people are becoming fatigued with the throw-away jokes.

Peter beat the crap out of that kid that was the kind of thing I mean, he would get into these situations. I see why people compare him to Homer Simpson, but in all reality, he is more of a rated R kind of Homer, were the actual Homer is more PG-13. The Mr. Furley part was pretty funny too. That is what is great about this show, I honestly think people who weren't kids in the 80's don't get it, they are too old, and people below get some of the references. This was one of the funniest episodes in a while, and they need to keep making them like this one.

I'm not sure what to think of this episode, as it had funny parts, but for some reason it just didn't hold together as a coheasive whole. One of the things that worked for the episode included Herbet, who is wonderfully creepy and funny at the same time. But Chris seemed to be nothing but a cardboard cut out, and the audience was left with no reason to care that the bully was after him. Peter was fairly amusing as a bully, but for some reason it just didn't issue the laughs that I've come to expect from the series. Also Stewies storyline wasn't all that interesting. An ok episode at best.

In general, this episode was NOT FUNNY. It only got occasional and (forced) laughs. The material was just not funny as Peter's Two Dads. What is going on with Family Guy? The only funny parts were like... NOTHING. The jokes lasted only 2 seconds and you would forget them. The only actual joke I really liked was when Stewie was drinking the soda and turning his head slowly to the camera. Other than that, nothing. Compared to Road To Rupert however, this episode was a lot better. But compared to Peter's Two Dads, it's far off by a long shot. Also, I kind of realized that they cut off some of the flashbacks. I'm not sure if the flashbacks would have helped or not, but right now, this episode was basically NOT GOOD.



So far two bad episodes already in this season. If this starts becoming a pattern, if matters become worse, I would regret to say it but, Family Guy may be reaching its demise sooner than before.
