Quotes[]

Lois: Is ... is it your line?
Chris: I don't ... uh, I don't think so.
Stewie: I'm ... I'm sorry, who's line is it?
Gary: Cut! That was Peter's line. Where's Peter?
[Peter enters the room]
Peter: Sorry, I was in my trailer eating fancy nuts and smoking.
Lois: Well, it certainly isn't easy being in a family that also happens to star in a sitcom together. Especially last year when I discovered those naked pictures of that eighteen year old intern on Peter's phone, but he explained that his phone number was the old number of ... uh ... of her ex-boyfriend, so ... what was it again? ... So, the cloud. That's right. So, the photos were on the cloud and the ... the ... the cloud pulled the pictures uh ... I mean, even if the pictures had not been sent directly to him and ... that's why he has them and we both called the Apple store and they said that they can't disprove that it doesn't happen and so, here we are. Still married. Still on the show
Peter: Oh, yeah. It's great, you know, doing the show with your family, cuz what guy doesn't want to go to his office and have his family there? You know, and then you go home after work and catch up with the family, [progressively gets more depressed as he keeps talking] and then uh ... next day same thing. Just trying to make it through the weekend, so you can uh ... spend some time with the family ... Isn't that the dream?
Peter: You know, when I signed up for this show back in what, '98 or '97, I thought that it was going to be your typical family sitcom, you know, I thought ... hey, with a show called Family Guy, it ought to be something family friendly, but ... yeah. It's wasn't that at all. I wasn't expecting a perfectly happy sitcom like Full House. You know, I knew there was going to be a bit of dark topics and crude humor in there, but not this much of it. I was expecting something like The Simpsons. I was expecting, a nice, happy, heartwarming family tree with relatable characters, down to earth problems, good morals, and an overall, wonderful premise, and a few dark topics, being dealt with in a lighthearted manner, and a few gross-out jokes that were gross, but spaced apart, so that that's not what the show is remembered for. Boy, was I wrong.
Lois: It was kind of a surprise when the creators of the show started adding in all of this sex humor, I mean, where would you find that in a family sitcom. Yet, everything was gross, it was stupid, it was shocking, but, I had no reason to complain. These jokes were hilarious!
Chris: Family Guy is awesome for taking a boring, cheesy sitcom and turning it into something hilarious. I'm so glad Family Guy took this path.
Meg: The writers of this show are geniuses. I mean, look at other shows that try to do gross out comedy. They just completely mess it up, because they're afraid to go too far with the jokes, and so they ruin the jokes and make them too subtle to shock anyone. Family Guy on the other hand is hilarious, because it's literally just a bunch of disgusting things on screen for no reason at all. Where does this stuff come from?
Brian: You know, Peter once tried to leave the show. Uh, twice actually. This was a long time ago, though. This was back when the show had kind of only been out for three seasons. Uh, he said that he didn't want the show to be so stupid and disgusting. He successfully left the show once, getting the show cancelled, but too many people were fans of the show and they just, completely threw a riot. So, Peter was being forced to return to the show again. I guess nobody can resist the genius of Family Guy. But, yeah, he hasn't been hating the show anymore, like he used to.
Peter: Fuck this show. Seriously, fuck this show. I don't know why anybody is still watching it. It's not funny anymore, if you can even consider what it did before, funny. Every single joke needs to be shocking and gross and if it isn't all about sex or people dying, it's not worthy of being in the show. It sucks, and I'm sick of working on it. I just want to leave this horrible mess behind, live with my real life family, and never return to the horrible atrocity that is Family Guy ever again. And you what? I think it's time.
Stewie: When I first started working on Family Guy, I was ecstatic to play an evil villain who wants to take over the world. I loved everything about my character and was glad that I could be affiliated with him. However, somewhere along the way, I think around Season 2 or 3 or something later, god it was so long, the writers had the brilliant idea of completely depriving Stewie of all matricidal tendencies and replacing them with traits of homosexuality, and it's like ... I'm not even the same guy as before! I'm going to say it right now. I am against the LGBT community in all ways, and I am not gay, or bisexual, or pansexual, or anything stupid like that, and I am certainly not happy with what they did to my character. This must be like what George Takei felt when they turned Mr. Sulu into into a homosexual.
James Woods: It's not just the Griffins who work hard to make Family Guy what it is. Here in the props department, some sweaty guy is working on the Petercopter.
Sweaty Guy: That's right. You know, a lot of people don't realize, SEAL Team Six actually completed their mission in this puppy.
[Cutaway to SEAL Team Six's mission killing Osama bin Laden]
Osama: Oh cool, Family Guy! Over here! I'm down here!
Quagmire: Look, don't get me wrong guys. I think it's hilarious ... and I totally get that the sex thing is what made me popular, but ... would it kill us to just once tell a joke that brings glory to God?
Stewie: I honestly think we all should have seen this coming. The fat man's behavior has been deteriorating for quite a while ... and I think someone may have placed an anonymous phone call to the network about it?
(Cutaway to Stewie making a high-pitched voice over the phone)
Stewie: You have no idea how bad it is here! He screams and yells and he makes a V with his fingers and then licks it, like "luh-luh-luh-luh-luh", which I am to understand is something dirty! Please do something! And, if possible, I'd love a "Master Chef" T-shirt.
Brian: Word around the stage is, they've decided what to do with Peter no longer working on the show. They're going to kill him off and replace him with another actor.
Lois: And this time, it's permanent. Not like when we killed off Brian for a while so he could shoot that crappy movie. What ... what was it?
Brian: It was a remake of Old Yeller where the dog gets the drop on him and kills him first.
(Cutaway to Brian's Old Yeller movie, where Travis is about to shoot Brian)
Travis: I'm sorry.
Brian: (Pulls a gun on Travis) No, I'm sorry. (Shoots Travis)
(Cut back to Brian)
Brian: They miscalculated the number of dogs who buy movie tickets.
Chris It's actually pretty awkward. I mean, Dad was the one who really seemed to hold the whole production together. Through research, we found out that Dad was the most popular character on the show.
Meg: But, I guess we'll find a way to make it work.
[Adam West walks by, dressed as Batman, climbing on a rope]
Adam West: This is how we did that. Bet you didn't know.
Cleveland: It's always a shame being reminded of my former glory, but I guess all good things must come to an end.
Donna: The Cleveland Show was a great project that we all enjoyed to the fullest. But, I guess it did deserve to end. I mean, Seth MacFarlane did quit playing Tim after the first season.
Cleveland: And since nobody else wanted to put on that bear costume, they had to get an actual bear to play him.
[Cutaway to a real bear and a stupid, beaten up guy, being forced to put on his clothes]
Guy: Okay Tim, it's time to put on your clothes.
[The guy carries a shirt and tie and nervously walks up to a gigantic, extremely angry bear, that is just about ready to kill him]
Guy: Now, I'm just going to enter the cage. Veeery slowly, now. Easy does it. Aaaaalmost there. Juuuust about ready to enter. Nooooot quite there yet. Heeeere we go ...
[In a split second, the bear loudy claws the guy's face and starts throwing him around the cage, beating the living bullcrap out of him]
Guy: AAAAAAAAAAAAH!!! AAAAAAAH! AAAAAAAH! AAAAAAAAAAAH! AAAAAAAAH! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[The bear goes through a lot of hilarious ways of beating him up, like chewing him like a chew toy, humping him, and punching him in the back of the head, knocking his teeth out]
[Cleveland, Lester, Holt, and Dr. Fist are sitting around the Broken Stool, awaiting Tim's arrival. Tim finally shows up.]
Director: And, action.
Cleveland: Oh, my God, guys! Donna's probably going to out that I've been taking Junior to the father-son fight club instead of school. What do I do?
Lester: I think you should fake Junior's death, so she doesn't wonder about where he is every day.
Holt: Make another fight club at your own place. A husband-wife fight club. Fight with Donna. If you beat her, she'll allow you to do what you want. That includes father-son fight club.
Dr. Fist: I think you should be open and honest with her and tell her the truth.
Cleveland: Tim, what do you think?
[Tim doesn't say a word and shrugs his shoulders, being manipulated by a guy with puppet poles behind his back]
Cleveland: Great ideas, everyone. I'm gunna try all of them, with Dr. Fist's being the last.
Director: And scene. Alright guys, the next scene is a cutaway gag about the gang scuba diving, so we need to get tim in a scuba suit.
[Tim the Bear attacks the guy again, ripping him to pieces]
James Woods: Welcome back to Inside Family Guy. I'm your host and angel investor to The Fappening, James Woods.
[A guy is seen setting up a cutaway gag, with a prop of Jupiter wearing a yarmulke]
Guy: This is the planet Jew-piter and he could say "Next year is my Star-mitzvah!"
Live Studio Ostrich: Ha ha!
Peter: Hey, did I get any mail?
Hotel Manager: Yes, your death threats to Grimace have been returned.
Peter: Well, has the Shamrock shake period been extended?
Peter: Door was unlocked. I'm sure that's fine.
Peter: Well, this seems like a really cheery place, and looks like some guy named David Zuckerman was here, and I think this is gonna work out just great.
James Woods: You don't miss your show or your family at all?
Peter: Of course I miss my family but everything comes to an end eventually, a-and you just you just got to keep moving forward.
Are you gonna be all right?
Oh, yeah, yeah.
Lois: I have to admit it's a little strange taping a show without Peter. It just doesn't feel right.
Stewie: I'm especially going to miss the fat man's bit with the audience, where he fires the T-shirt cannon at his own head. You know he once tried to hold up a store with that thing?
[Cutaway to Peter robbing a store with a T-shirt cannon]
Peter: Alright, everybody on the floor! Empty the register!
Guy: Please, don't do this!
Peter: Oh, yeah? You wanna be a hero? Here's what happens to heroes!
[Fires a T-shirt at the guy.]
Peter: Anybody else wanna be a hero?
Other Guy: Ooh! Me! Me! Me! Over here! Over here!
Peter: The fact is, I got too big for my britches, but I know now that ... I'm nothing without all of you.
Stewie: Aw, that's nice of you to say.
Peter: Thank you, Stewie, who I can understand.
