quote of the day #8

January 14, 2009

i was watching this family guy the other day on hulu. the end of the episode was one of the best things that i’ve seen in a long time. i was still staring at the screen with my mouth gaping even after the episode was over. the basic set up is that brian, the family dog (yes, he can talk), is getting old so the family replaces him with a younger dog who they call new brian. everyone except stewie loves him, so stewie is trying to get rid of him… enjoy.

this is the clip that the quote is from. you can watch the full episode here on hulu.

stewie: we especially don’t like the way you hump that chair in the den.

new brian: well rupert seems to like my humping.

stewie: what did you say?

new brian: rupert. humped him for two hours yesterday, he just layed there and took it.

stewie: did he?

new brian: yeah. and now every time you’re sleeping with him, he’s going to be thinking of me.

stewie: (unblinking stare at new brian)

the sequel to the amazing “blue harvest,” family guys’ take on “a new hope” is in motion. “something something something dark side” will be family guys’ rendition of “the empire strikes back” my personal favorite star wars movie. guess who’s filling the role of boba fett? peter’s arch enemy, the giant chicken. also as it appears on the poster, mort goldman as lando calrissian (seth green has said though that lando will be played by ollie williams), and what appears to be joe as an imperial probe droid, hi-larious! positively dubious. it will be debuting as a commercial free episode on fox. stay tuned for the debut date of the episode.
