Top 10 best family guy episodes series#

The two just compliment each other in ways that you would have never imagined, and their friendship has become one of the warmest aspects of Family Guy (as discussed above). The Brian/Stewie pairing is definitely the show’s most successful one. Other than the other four that come before it, of course. Add in jabs at the New Jersian Fall Migration (playfully called “Leafers” in this episode), and this is one of the funnest episodes of Family Guy out there.

Top 10 best family guy episodes series#

Of course this is Family Guy, so it ends with all of them just beating the shit out of each other in probably the best action sequence of the entire series (and for Family Guy, that’s quite a compliment). There are no sideplots to speak of in “Lethal Weapons”, as every member of the family has to contend with their anger issues with one another. I always love episodes of Family Guy in which every member of the family gets to participate in the main plot. Family Guy only visited California once more during a mediocre episode last season, and it was pretty obvious from the get go that it would never be able to match this one. Brain’s venture into porn was a funny one, as was Stewie’s sideplot featuring the easily mockable Bill Cosby.

The second episode in the two parter that kicked off Season 3 (arguably the best season of Family Guy), “Brian Does Hollywood” was a delightful episode from start to finish, poking fun at Hollywood in ways only Family Guy can. Add in a fair share of hilarious lines (“Hey, aren’t you Richard Simmons best friend…RICHARD SIMMONS?) and a subplot poking fun at the cast of Dawnson Creek, and you have a winner of an episode. But even though Adam Carolla made a decent replacement, you can’t beat Norm MacDonald’s original take on the character as one of the most whiny and needy figures of superstition this side of the river Styx. And well he eventually went on to become a non-entity in the show as it went forward, he’s still one of the best side characters in the series. This was the first episode to feature Death, one of the show’s signature characters. Lampooning everything from Grease to 21 Jump Street, “Let’s Go To the Hop” is an endlessly entertaining episode of Family Guy, with plenty of laughs and well timed pop culture gags. And well “Let’s Go the Hop” isn’t an amazing episode of the show or anything, it’s certainly a fun one, as Peter infiltrates James Woods High to cure the school of a recent drug epidemic. From now on, it will just be classic Family Guy. As Spider-Man himself once said, “Everybody gets one.” And this was the show’s one all and out great episode in the last few years.Īlright, that does it for all the new stuff. And I really enjoyed how the episode built up to an all out insane (and hilarious) conclusion. A rather meta episode for Family Guy, “Back to the Pilot” is mostly just a ton of fun. But there’s a bright spot here and there, and “Back to the Pilot” is certainly one of them. I know I made a big stink about how much the past few years of Family Guy have sucked, and I wasn’t lying for the most part, it’s been terrible. This episode was proof that, when reeled in a bit, Family Guy isn’t just a random gag machine. Brian’s admission to his thoughts of suicide was pretty well handled, as was Stewie ultimately confessing his love for him (in a non flamboyantly gay manner, thank god). And I was surprised at how overall effective that aspect of the episode is. It’s the classic bottle episode just two people in one room conversing with each other about life. No cutaway gags, no pop culture references. Well the episode itself isn’t all that funny and relies pretty heavily on gross out humor (everything having to do with Stewie’s diaper especially was groan worthy), I appreciate “Brian and Stewie” just for the things it DOESN’T do. You know, I’m not sure if I love “Brian and Stewie” for the right reasons. So sit back, relax, and prepare for some Family Guy goodness! 10. And with the show set to celebrate its 200th episode this Sunday with a one hour special, we thought it would be appropriate to break down the best of the best of the last 199 (well technically 192, but production wise, it’s the 199th). Family Guy is a horrible show now…but it used to be one of the best. Its now famously revered pop culture references were once one of the selling points of the show, and the currently hated characters were at one time one of the most famous on all of television. In the long ago era of the early 2000’s, Family Guy was one of the freshest and funniest shows on ALL of television. Family Guy is one of the worst shows on television…but that wasn’t always the case.
