Favorites of Family Guy: Volume One

No Meals on Wheels

Season 5, Episode 14 of Family Guy!

I remember the first time I saw this episode—sitting next to my dad while he lied down, a few weeks before Christmas. Around us were all sorts of decorations; red tinsel and pots of poinsettias, my mom's favorite. Originally, my dad was a Family Guy skeptic—someone who thought the show stupid and mindless. Today, he loves the show and quotes it often when joking around with me...now we're both looking forward to season 24!

 

Morris' Nightmare 2013

I finally got around to transcribing the new lyrics from the 2013 revamp of Morris' Nightmare!

Morris' Nightmare is my favorite Jimmy Buffett tune! It was severely underplayed (a few times in the 70s and 2013). By far one of his funniest songs!

(Right after the musical bridge)

You know up in the city

everybody's on their cell
nothing much to do

when it feels like winter fell 

ice scape

but mainly hibernate

 

Simplisafe Ad Thoughts

I remember watching a simplisafe ad and there was a robber breaking in.

Then they showed a dispatcher at their call center talking over the camera saying, "Stop! Don't go anywhere. Police are on the way".

I don't know how this would deter robbers that much.

The Hunt for Frederick Langston's Office

"You know, I was in the Investigations Sector when it was evacuated.

Well, not THERE there.
I was in Executive because they have the best snack machines.
You may think they’re all there because of that plain white packaging,
but there’s a difference.
You know those thick ruffled potato chips?
They're my favorite.
All the machines outside Executive carry those flimsy little thin chips.
They have no texture.
I may as well eat cardboard."

- Frederick Langston, from Control

From his dialogue over the speaker in the Investigations Sector, it is heavily implied that he worked there before Hartman escaped. 

"Anyway, I get back to the elevator and they tell me the sector is being evacuated.

They wouldn't even let me go back in for my stuff!

Can you believe that?

I worked at that desk for years!

I had photos on it, my favorite stapler,

one of those good ones that could staple a 50-page report no problem,

a little cash, and some, uh, personal recordings."

- Frederick Langston, from Control

Among other things left behind, Langston mentions his personal recordings. The two recordings in question are "Langston: Me and You," and "Langston: Freestyle". Both of these mixtapes were found in the Shifted Offices. Featuring Langston himself, he dubbed these as "experimental music slash poetry" pieces.
