  • You get to see the worst of an already low blow character, Brian, and a sex crazed looney, Quagmire.

    Hasn't this episode been done before? In fact it has, but this is the "new" version for "Family Guy." As the show stretches onto it's 9th season, and ratings begin to wane, the writers have fallen into a block.

    They take two characters from their show, and set them up to be even lower on the respect totem pole (granted Brian was never high up to begin with). Brian once again falls in love, fails and Quagmire reluctantly helps out Brian. Brian eventually falters and they begin to be at each others throats. Two grown adults go at it as they try to make the other more jealous of who they date. Brian brings in Quagmire's one true love, and he falls and does the same to Brian. All it turns into is a pity fest at the end as both characters realize what they did was wrong, and make up at the end. It was a real shallow episode that had no real depth to it. It played on the hatred Quagmire has for Brian, but went no deeper then that, as we learn that Brian is more cruel then Quags.

    Animation is the norm to family guy, uninspired but clean, and the episode does a decent job at holding your attention for at least ten minutes watching Peter run about doing his usual mindless antics. Not a real memorable episode for the show, but then again, most are not.moreless

  • Peter's plot was perfect, but Brian and Quagmire's plot...meh...

    8.0
    I thought this episode was great. It would have a superb score, but some scenes lower my score. Peter explaining to the audience about his shirt was a waste of time. Idisparatelywanted to end it. Really? After the previous' episode lazy scene with Carter moving the vehicle (don't know what it called) we just have two uneed long scenes in this episode. The scene where those dudes were lighting up the candles at a mountain...*sulks* was also a waste of time. And then Quagmire. I miss his old self when he didn't hate Brian but doing a plot with him and Brian wasabsolutelya bad idea. Really??! I predicted that he bash Brian in this episode. :/ I wish he's stop being a jerk towards Brian. I just hate Quagmire's new behavior especially the way he treats Brian. The ending wasn't even funny. Quagmire would have stopped hating Brian but eventually he knocks him off. What a big jerk he was in this episode! :/ However, I still think Quagmire funny but not near Brian. Anyway, let's get on the positive stuffs. The Street Fighters scene was hilarious. Meg and Mayor West dating was funny and it was areferenceto Deep Throats. It was kinda random though. Overall, I thought the episode was great, but not the best season 9. It would been beter if Quagmire didn't treat Brian like a d**** but he seriously took it too far.moreless
  • Great Episode !

    9.5
    Personally, I love to see Quagmire and Brian in the same episode. It's always funny in every way, even though there is no obvious conversational jokes. Moreover, this week's episode started with Peter. He only has 1 white shirt left and it's getting smelly, and he just freaks out when he sees that the dry cleaner lost his other white shirt. He even breaks into his house and finds a white shirt, but it's way to small, and that moment comes the guy with shotgun. Next thing we see, Brian coming to the police station to bail out Peter. The show actually starts at this point. I don't want to spoil the rest for the ones who haven't watched this episode yet.



    All in all, almost a 10.moreless
  • Have we watched the same episode? Why the high scores? This was really bad. After giving two episodes high scores, we're back to bad ones again. This was showing Brian at his lowest and the same for Quagmire. Time for Brian to go away and never come back.moreless

    Brian has been dumped by a woman he met at prison while picking up Peter who tried to get his shirt back from a dry cleaner who didn't give back his shirt. He was dumped again as ususal. He takes a class in how to pick up women which is being taught by Quagmire. Being dress up in flashy clothes and acting like a jerk didn't work for him as he tried to get Denise back. Quagmire tells him about Cheryl Tiegs and how he lost her. Brian got her by making Quagmire jealous. At dinner, Quagmire brings Jillian with him for revenge. Brian and Quagmire fight but the women left them. Brian was really pathetic in this one. What ever happened to the Brian who was intelligent and goes for inner beauty and brains. Now he is a pathetic douche who only goes for outer beauty. Why can't he goes back to dogs? He so natural when he was with Seabreeze but I wished that Seabreeze had talked. It wouldn't kill you Seth to give him a female talking dog. Brian should just stay single and stop being so desparate for sex. Going after Cheryl Tiegs was very low for him. The subplot was stupid and was never resolved. Peter was a bigger jerk. The only funny scenes were the street fighter scene Quagmire hitting Brian with his car. Brian deserved it. I also liked Adam West coming in with Meg. Adam West was the only one who suceeded and good for Meg. Time for Brian to leave and never come back so we don't have to put up with him anymore.moreless

Trivia, Notes, Quotes and Allusions

FILTER BY TYPE

  • TRIVIA (2)

    • Quagmire claims that Cheryl Tiegs left him because he got jealous too easily. However in the episode, "And Then There Were Fewer," he claimed that she left him because James Woods stole her from him.

    • Brian and Cheryl Tiegs (and later Quagmire and Jillian) are seen dining in a restaurant called "l'Espèce d'Andouille." In French, "espèce de" translates to "stupid," and "andouille" is a slang word for "imbecile" or "idiot," making the name of the restaurant essentially "The Stupid Idiot" or perhaps just "The Idiot."

  • QUOTES (1)

    • Mr. Washee Washee: (watching Star Trek) Ooh, it's the "Mr. Sulu Show". (singing with the Star Trek theme song) Sulu, he's the star of the show. Other guys, just along for the ride.

  • NOTES (0)

  • ALLUSIONS (2)

    • The scene where Peter is getting out of jail and he tells Brian that that was the only world he knew and he hangs himself, is a clear reference to the movie The Shawshank Redemption, where one of the inmates hangs himself after being freed.

    • Street Fighter

      The fight with Peter and Mr. Washee Washee scene is set in the popular video game "Street Fighter".
