this episode was a good example of how you take something popular (the Twilight vampire fad), work it into cohesive storyline (the whole episdoe was about this fad) while keeping true to the char. nature (Butters thinking he was a vampire, Buttter's realtionship with his parents, the goth kids). As opposed to SOME (not all) episodes of Family Guy that has Peter doing stupid riffs that make no sense (i.e. "remember the time I was a toilet" cut to some random celebrity shitting on Peter's face)

I do enjoy some episodes of Family Guy (noteably the once a year Brian and Stewie "Road" eps, though wasn't as fond of this season's, the time travel BTTF/Terminator bits were great, but this was Stewies 2nd or 3rd Time Machine and it had gotten biggre, for the sole purpose of having a reason to have Mort come along, which to me ruined the dynamic) *back on track* I do think FG has gotten better since "being called out" on South Park, the randomness has been scaled back and they've actually gotten back to the what made the original episodes so good, not just random bs thrown against the wall. I will also say that the Simpsons were guilty of this just throwing stuff so i can make this joke as well, but they have improved too since the movie
