Family Guy: Brief Encounter (2021)
Season 20, Episode 5
1/10
This show defies logic in ways that aren't even relatably funny anymore
25 October 2021
First off, how in the actual hell would it be feasible for Peter and Quagmire to switch underwear in the first place? Peter is so fat at roughly 5'9" and 270 lbs, he is at least two and a half times the total body weight of Quagmire himself. There's no feasible way they could fit into each other's underwear due to size difference. Secondly, as obvious as the pun was about Planes vs Hanes (oh haha, how stale...Quagmire works as a pilot and wears a brand of undies called Planes. Predictable much?), I don't find it feasible that Glen would ever wear anything other than the usual leopard print bikini style unless it was something kinky that suited his personality. A pair of tighty whities would be far too basic and vanilla for him.

This show is really taking a stretch when it comes to trying to get us to laugh at the flanderization of logic. Like the episode from last season where the Millennial couple confuse Peter and Lois for being in the same age gap as them. Again, HOW....just how in the flying *#$@ could anyone make that mistake??? Between the fashion choices and hairstyles of the entire Griffin family, their overall aesthetic is so clearly outdated Gen-X that no Millennial would ever confuse them for being in their 30s. Perhaps it's because of those look choices that Chris and Meg are so unpopular because even though they are cartoon characters, the fact that the animators haven't changed their looks in the last twenty years makes them stick out like sore thumbs.

Please lose the Doug character. He's not funny. He's simply condescending and arrogant. Have Stewie regain his sense of devilish villainous ways and kill Doug in an epic battle fight scene like with Penelope or when Stewie fought Lois in "Lois Kills Stewie". That was one of the best episodes from FIFTEEN YEARS AGO, and was LIGHT YEARS better than this crap!!!!!

This show has gone on for too long. It should have stopped after Season 12. You know it, I know it, Seth MacFarlane has long past admitted to it. Pull the damn plug already. It's so goddamn stale, that not even the flattest tasting seltzer water could be worse than this.
