I doubt they pulled out the "you punch your mother with that mouth?" line.
True, that was a nice little gem. |

It didn't get me until the Disney part. Goddamn that was brilliant.

I think the only multiverse I didn't get was the real blocky, poorly animated one. I thought at first it was a jab at Gennedy Tartikof's style but figured it was aping something else after I watched it again. Was it supposed to be a parody of some bad Flash animation?

Agreed. The Dwayne Johnson bit had me rolling. |

I've really not been that impressed with this season so far. Until the Amnesia episode. I thought it was hysterical.

I have to admit, it threw me for a few seconds. Granted I was dividing my attention between FG and WoW, but for a second or two I really had to think hard as to what day and time it was. I was thinking 'Wait, did I change the channel at the commercial break? I don't think I did...' |

My TV changed the channel automatically because of the DVR, and I didn't know it was a new episode, so when that [adult swim] thing happened I literally didn't know what channel it was on until the end of the commercials. I WAS FREAKING OUT!

Yeah, I got it for Christmas. Not as good as Blue Harvest, but still pretty funny. I'll have to watch it a few more times to really form a firmer opinion of it. My take away from the first viewing was that the source material was treated with too much reverence, and that there wasn't as much corny stuff to mine jokes from since it's such a tight movie. I can't even remember a lot of the jokes because they weren't as amusing as Han taking off with the couch from the Death Star. (They do question the same thing I've always questioned, though. WTF is Lando wearing Han's clothes at the end?!) |

Yeah it had some nice moments and funny bits but it really seemed more like an homage, mild pastiche of Empire than Family Guy but with the Star Wars plotline.

SSSDS is pretty good. It got better the 2nd time I watched it (I missed the R2/Cleveland 'running with this' joke the first time through since I wasn't looking at the screen). Wish they would have done better with Yoda, though.

I'm just making this shit up though. |

That actually makes perfect sense, and adds an extra level of depth to the character. |

I mean really, Han and Lando grew up together, they both went through a dirty rotten smuggler phase, then grew into respectable adults. And yet, when the chips were down, Han was willing to be tortured and killed for his beliefs, while Lando just sold out.
Lando tried to make ammends by getting Leia and others out of there, but in the process, left everything he had behind; figuratively and literally.
Next thing we see, Lando has taken Han's place, looking up to his old friend, following in his footsteps, and donning the shell Han wore in the past.

NECRO!
The season opener was last night, and it was a parody of "And Then There Were None" where most of the town shows up at a mansion for a dinner party in their honor. Then, people start getting murdered. I liked the episode, but it was going for suspense as much as it was going for funny. It really tried to hit on a lot of the stupid mystery cliches while still tossing in the penis jokes. If you like Family Guy, you like a penis/fart joke. I would give it a solid B. Good pacing, good story, but it was trying to do a lot of things at once without hitting all the funny highlights.

Fun, but just like the second Star Wars parody, they almost played this TOO straight. The camera angles and things like that were very clever, as was the opening- in a subtle homage sort of way.
And I guess since the episode was "canon" they couldn't .
There was one unresolved mystery-

I think they did play a lot of it pretty straight as well, but there were some very good moments. The balcony scene tongue-in-cheek dialogue from the killer POV shot was awesome, as well as the huddling, the reasons they all hated the host, and Consuela as the butler/maid. It was very creative in their adaptation even though they stayed on the rails without any of the usual cutaways.

I guess, but will it be edgy and/or funny? I guess Tom can make fun of her for being a brainless idiot, but we'll see. |

It would be like them to just completely ignore it, true. |

I'd have a quick reference to her wearing a Martha Stewart ankle bracelet thing and then continue as if nothing happened.

Yeah that would probably work. They shot Lois like 40 times in dumped her in the Ocean, and she still lived in that "simulation." |
