A FAMILY GUY Fan Likes The STEWIE GRIFFIN DVD Movie!!

am i first by FrodosBlueBalls	Jul 28th, 2005 08:47:40 AM
.....probably not
Not so good, actually. by Ayii	Jul 28th, 2005 08:49:16 AM
I disagree. I was disappointed with the "movie" and thought it was 3 weak episodes rolled into one. The stuff they've been airing on TV so far this season is funnier. This one is a renter.
oh wait..... by FrodosBlueBalls	Jul 28th, 2005 08:49:59 AM
It looks like i am!! All you first haters can suck my dick! Posting about people who post first is quite possibly the gayest thing on these message boards. At least the damn hulk hogan references slowed down. "I'm first brother!!"

Hey why not some hot Lois nudity, (besides her butt) or at least some Meg nudity?
He's right, he IS a plant! by Brock Samson	Jul 28th, 2005 08:54:21 AM
I saw it, and the only good part is part 3. Ocasionally. And yes, i don't like Season 4 at all, though I do like the first three. It's actually the worst parts of season 4 all thrown together, though the Steve Bartman gag made me laugh. Watch it on FOX. Or download it. Just don't pay for it.
are we SURE this is airing on Fox someday? by mrgreentheplant	Jul 28th, 2005 09:00:36 AM
30 bucks for something that might air on TV.. myehhhhh
i don't like Family Guy. I "get" it. I just don't like by HypeEndsHere	Jul 28th, 2005 09:03:35 AM
but hey, to each his own. Golden Girls ran for years and I never watched that. there's a place on a network schedule for anything.
If you don't like "it" then why are you on the Family Guy ta by Akira'sCrow	Jul 28th, 2005 09:17:30 AM

They'll probably air it over 2 hours by Gheorghe Zamfir	Jul 28th, 2005 09:20:23 AM
rather than try to cut it down to fit into 90 minutes.
man simpson fans must be pissed by josh_strapp	Jul 28th, 2005 09:20:31 AM
first their show begins to suck now family guy makes a movie before them
Saw it as well yesterday... by Holodigm	Jul 28th, 2005 09:21:28 AM
It doesn't compare to some of the episodes so far this year, especially this past Sunday's. The bookend movie premiere bits are just absolutely awful, and the plots seem rehashed from older episodes. The review pointed out the best parts though, Michael Chiklis and Star Trek V (which really is blink-and-miss).
Such a huge fan. by FluffyUnbound	Jul 28th, 2005 09:31:15 AM
Family Guy is like smoking, or drinking beer. When you first try it, it's gross and you cough and sputter all over the place. Stewie doesn't seem funny, the "this is like the time when..." bits seem too random and out of left field, and the gag where they have Peter do something over and over and over, well past the point at which they should have stopped even if repetition was the gag, are just annoying and almost painful. But then, just like smoking and drinking beer, you reach a point where you've done it enough that you suddenly plateau, and it becomes hugely enjoyable. All three of the things listed above become laugh out loud funny. Don't be some kind of Mormon. Stick with Family Guy until you grow into it.

Just in case the film is too intense for you and you want to stop it.
Greased Up Deaf Guy by DanielKurland	Jul 28th, 2005 10:33:54 AM
I'm a huge Family Guy fan and I've been loving this season. One psoter made a comment a while back that these minor characters are getting too much screen time. I saw what he meant, but didn't necessarily agree. Last week's episode though had the greased up deaf guy terrorizing a store owner for absolutely NO reason. This is where I called overkill. They've used him enough already. They could have thought of a better character for the joke they were doing.
TREE! by Yeti	Jul 28th, 2005 10:39:05 AM
Like a plant but taller. Pffffffttt!
I don't know if Diane's rack is getting bigger.... by Shakalakaboom	Jul 28th, 2005 11:05:10 AM
every season, but the woman who does her voice (Lori Alan) sure has some tig ol'bitties. Check her out in Comic Book: The Movie. You don't see her topless, but they are there.
I'm buying it - but expect to be underwhelmed by Damitol	Jul 28th, 2005 11:23:43 AM
Historically, 30 minute comedies do not translate well to long format movies since a certain amount of padding is always added. Family Guy works great in the standard 22 minute format, but I'm guessing what some of the talkbackers above are saying is that it is unable to sustain it's signature fast paced 30-joke-a-minute style or that it just wears you out and stops being as much fun after a certain point. As much as I love Futurama and hope against hope that the recent rumors of it's own direct to DVD movie come true, at the same time I'm concerned that it won't be the same in a 90 minute chunk.

A bit too long by Groggy	Jul 28th, 2005 01:06:21 PM
I totally love the Family Guy series. The movie has lots of good stuff in there, but also plenty of times where it plodded along. Also too many American specific jokes for my tastes - referring to celebrities/TV shows/Theme tunes - that never got shown or have even been heard of anywhere else in the world. In a 23min weekly show I can let them fly right over my head, but over 90mins there are too many to let slide. Like when Stewie is in Hell with some bloke and then the guy flicks the channels to find the same music playing on all of them. Who the fuck was that bloke and what was he doomed to watch for eternity? I get the level that you assumed he was gonna fuck Stewie and that the TV show must be shitty. Beyond that I have not a fucking clue. It's a shame the assumed audience of FG is so narrow.
Xenophobia by mechashiva	Jul 28th, 2005 01:45:40 PM
You mean to tell me a show written by and starring Americans, which airs on an American television network, references popular American culture? For shame. If I judged the Office based on the fact that I didn't get all the Britishisms, everyone in talkback would be on my ass about my my inability to appreciate a show specific to a culture that I'm not a part of. You can only make something so "universal" before it ceases to have any character of its own.
Anyone who disses on Family Guy ain't got no soul. by fiester	Jul 28th, 2005 02:11:32 PM
Maybe that's too harsh. But if you don't like Family Guy, you don't have a sense of humor, that's for sure. Still the funniest show on TV and the only one that makes me laugh out loud consistantly.
Didn't Much Like It... by El Fuego	Jul 28th, 2005 02:13:33 PM
The review's pretty accurate to how I felt, but it felt to me like there were a lot less jokes than you get in your average episodes of Family Guy. I'm loving Season 4, but if you broke the movie into the three episodes, not one of them would come close to the best stuff they've had this season.
The Thundercats gag was freaking hilarious by Hamtaro_Hentai	Jul 28th, 2005 02:16:18 PM

I noticed a difference in Family Guy is this season, but I love by Mr. Profit	Jul 28th, 2005 04:04:58 PM
And unlike South Park they work the second and even third times. I love the Asiantown episode. The Trix Bit and the Asian Three's Company jokes were fucking hilarious. And Ms. Swan popping up on an episode was out of nowhere and funny. Alex Borenstein is a funny woman. I cant wait for Season 5 to start in September. Finally Family Guy is doing well in the ratings, and hopefully will continue to ejoy for seasons to come.
Wasn't this originally scheduled to be 3 episodes? by JRoget803	Jul 28th, 2005 04:07:52 PM
If I remember correctly, there was a trilogy of Stewie centric episodes in the lineup for the fourth season. I remember that because it made me groan a little (stewie's not my fav). So, I would assume that this movie is just those 3 episodes that are still going to be aired on Fox at some time.
I once told a girl that I didn't like "Family guy either" af by YackBacker	Jul 28th, 2005 04:09:00 PM
It was worth it.
Bollocks by Gandalf The Gaye	Jul 28th, 2005 04:26:30 PM
This is rather runderwhelming actually. Not as good as a 30 min episode. The writing is extremely lazy and there are countless missed opportunities for gags. The best cutaway is the Thundercats one though: "Give me sight beyond sight!"
This is already all over the Net, isnt it? by Phildogger	Jul 28th, 2005 05:23:15 PM
My friend swears its already Pirated on the Net, could that be?

About the 3parter / movie thing & other stuff by Tall_Boy	Jul 28th, 2005 09:28:29 PM
As for stretching it out, there isn't as much stretching going on as any of your run of the mill Family Guy episode can be accused of "stretching" stuff out. Like I said, it
Duh da da duh - da da da DUH! by ian216a	Jul 28th, 2005 09:30:29 PM
I saw the film Monday night and I'm still laughing out loud at Jesus and his over-exaggarated abilities. Funniest cartoon moment since Itchy cut Scatchy's knees and breasts off with a chainsaw. Interested to see if the jesus joke is one of the cuts for TV. As a whole, I thought the 3 episodes were as good as the rest of S4, but then again my favourite family guy episodes have always been the Stewie/Brian road trips. There is more Stewie is this then regular episodes, which is fine by me, but may explain why those who don't think a murderous baby Rex Harrison is just, well, insanely genius, might be a bit cold to it.
No Need to Rip Into South Park... by DanielKurland	Jul 28th, 2005 11:00:21 PM
Definitely one of the funniest shows ever. I know some people can't see past what it was originally, but right now it's one of the funniest and cleverest shows on TV, and in my opinion, it doesn't get odl on repeat viewings. Why? Because some things are so ridiculous on the show. ie. Crab people, Raisins, Cartman humming the Dawson's Creek theme as he beats a guy to death, "The Gelgamec vagina is 6 feet long and filled iwth razor sharp teeth..." And Trey Parker has written EVERY episode. Incredible.

Hey, I love South Park,. One of the few shows that actually got by Tall_Boy	Jul 29th, 2005 01:24:11 AM
I'm kinda disappointed that "Untold" isn't as inspired as "South Park: BLU" but, really, what is? Anyway, I still think the South Park and family guy "movie" will be better than the eventual Simpsons movie. On a semi-related note, the Bono joke also kicked alot of ass.
Xenophobia ??? by Groggy	Jul 29th, 2005 08:29:42 AM
Hey Mechashiva - look that word up you fucktard. At what point in my post am I xenophobic? Do I display fear or hate towards other cultures? No you twat, I am commenting on a a fucking comedy cartoon! Or is that "hatin" - fuck off imbecile. I never once said it was negative thing that Family Guy referenced American pop culture so specifically or that American Culture wasn't worth referencing or whatever lonely and idiotic thoughts you got rattling around your big ol' empty head. My point was that when stretched to 90 minutes there are too many jokes that fall dead due to the culture differences. I'm fairly certain that there is a large audience for Family Guy outside of the US or are you that narrowminded? To compare Family Guy's use of culture to that of The Office is absolutely retarded. Yes the office is very British, but they never made a fucking movie did they??? I think over 90minutes any non-Brit would be struggling to get everything. But when certain Family Guy jokes have punchlines to jokes resting purely on a random US TV presenter or a theme tune to a TV show seen by only one country well that doesn't work. The odd couple can be brushed over and humour can be found somewhere, but over 90minutes it becomes irksome. Now why is that xenophobic?? Bell end.
all I can say is by dwam0	Jul 29th, 2005 01:28:24 PM
"You have AIDS/ Not HIV/ but full-blow AIDS" After our shock, my wife and I laughed at that for the rest of the episode. I think the pace of throw-away jokes on Family Guy was really accelerated this season. Okay, the storylines have suffered to make room for jokes, but man those jokes have been funny.

Peter Giffin by Dirty Dawg UK	Jul 30th, 2005 04:57:20 AM
Homer Simpson is mad monkey funny. Eric Cartman is balls nasty funny. Peter Giffin is not funny in any way. Keep the baby, keep the dog, lose the fat guy - it's just that simple.
The Jesus joke was very good by ChorleyFM	Jul 30th, 2005 03:32:50 PM
The rest was very meh. There were loads of times i contemplated turning it off and watching something else. But I suppose this wasn't for me as I have never been able to sit through 2 or more Family Guy's in a row as the attempted joke quotient is so high it just drags me down. Sometimes I laugh alot sometimes the show does nothing for me (season 4 especially). Not great and certainly no comparison to the brilliant SP:BL&U.

Part of the humor in Family Guy is the "how did they get away wi by I Dunno	Jul 31st, 2005 04:47:00 PM
The same is true of South Park but when they did their movie, they pushed the boundaries of the R rating, so they kept the shock value.
