    Giggity Giggity Giggity Giggity Giggity Giggity Giggity Giggity Giggity Giggity Giggity Giggity Giggity Goo!!! hide show

    This was probably one of best Family Guy episodes yet, and it's the best in season 5. At the beginning, Peter acts like a redneck. It's so funny when Peter spits in the cup, and then Stewie drinks it.(Stewie: Oh, there's my apple juice!) It looks like Quagmire lost his job because of Peter. It's also pretty funny when Cleveland distracts the guards with violins. At the end when Peter, Cleveland, and Joe save the plane from crashing it's funny at the end of the movie, when they are debating, Peter: Oh no she didn't. Joe: Oh yes she did! At the end, Quagmire gets his job back.

    This was a very good episode hide show

    There was something about this episode that didnt quite make is god as tere best episodes. But i enjoyed it anyway(How can you not enjoy Family Guy). The main reason that this episode was goos was because it had alot of Quagmire in it. You would think that the stuff he does and says would get old but it doesnt. And even if your not a fan of him you cant help but laugh at him occasionally. I probably most enjoyed the part where Peter was a Redneck and he tried to get his car to fly, you would expect that from Peter. This was a quality Episode.

    Season 5, Episode 12. hide show

    I love this episode so much. Peter becoming a redneck was hilarious. He wanted to sleep with Meg! I'm laughing my ass off! Brian letting Peter spit in Stewie's apple juice was hilarious! Quagmire having the Asian strippers in the trunk of his car is hilarious! Then in the garage! I also love the episode title, which I know is a little weird, but still! It is so clever and I like it. Better than the episode's original title, "Keep On Truckin'." I think the scene with Mayor West in the classroom was taken out of Scary Movie 4. I loved the news story after the crash. I love Family Guy! :)

    Pretty good. hide show

    I have heard bad reviews of this episode on this forum. Why, I mean, seriously, it's really funny! The replay of the plane when they said:

    "And now here's what would happen if the place crashed into a school,"

    And then, they said:

    "And now's what would happen if the plane crashed into a school filled with bunnies."

    THAT's great Family Guy humor!

    Then, there's the nice suspense. Who couldn't be asking form more when Peter is on the plane with Joe and Cleveland? I sure wanted to know what would happen! Very good action, and I congragulate the writers for that.

    9.2 out of 10, a very nicely written episode.

    One of the best in the season. hide show

    After seeing a redneck comedy show, Peter purchases a pickup truck and decides to become a redneck. He does such "typical" redneck things as bringing the couch out onto the lawn, propositioning Meg, and chewing tobacco. Eventually, after having to bring Quagmire to the airport (Because Peter painted over the back window and crashed into Quagmire's car), Peter steals Quagmire's plane's fuel (thinking it will make his truck fly), causing TransNational Airlines Flight 37 to crash. Quagmire loses his job, and lives for three weeks with the Griffins, first in the tree-house, and then in the house. During this, he exhibits his typical sex fetishes, such as sticking his foot into Meg's mouth while she's sleeping. After living with them for a month, Quagmire has overstayed his welcome, so Peter tries to help Quagmire get a new job. They have very little success, so Peter, Cleveland and Joe decide to attempt a hare-brained scheme to get Quagmire's old job back: Quagmire would board TransNational Airlines Flight 209, while Peter and Joe take flight attendant uniforms while Cleveland distracts the guards. When they are in the air, Peter will drug the pilots so Quagmire would save the day. However, Quagmire is distracted when he has sex with a woman, not only losing his flight and chance, but putting his friends in extreme danger. Inspirational advice from Hugh Hefner then prompts Quagmire to save the day. He tells his friends on how to land the plane, similar to Airplane!. Safe, the guys finish the Last Holiday after landing the plane. In the end, Quagmire gets his job back, while Peter, Joe, and Cleveland have just been released from federal prison for hijacking.

  • When Peter calls the airport for help, and asks if he can turn off the movie "Last Holiday" because he doesn't think the last thing everyone one the plane should see (before they die when they crash) is Queen Latiffah on skis - she was never on skis in the movie "Last Holiday" - she was on a snowboard. []
  • The sign on Peter's truck says Support Our Troops and Fetuses. []
  • Featured Music:
    Notre Dame Victory March []

More Notes

    Brian: Yeah. Guess it didn't take much for you to get your job back, now that you're a hero.
    Peter: And I'm so happy, I don't mind that I was raped in a federal prison after being arrested for hijacking! []
  • (Peter spits tobacco on the floor)
    Brian: Peter, that's disgusting. Here, spit in this cup instead.
    (Peter spits in cup and puts it on the arm of the couch)
    Stewie: Oh, there's my apple juice.
    Brian: Stewie, wait don't-
    (Flashback to Stewie beating Brian)
    Stewie: Where's my money? You gonna give me my money?
    (Flashback ends)
    Brian: Oh, nevermind.
    (Stewie drinks from the cup and starts yelling) []

    Chris: Dad dragged it out on the lawn because he said "that's what rednecks do!" []
More Quotes
  • Amy Grossberg and Melissa Drexler: The prom night dumpster baby routine references these two teenage girls who self-delivered and abandoned newborn infants -- one at a prom, one in a dumpster. The cases became a cause celebre for conservatives politicians in the late 90's. []
  • Star Wars VI: Return of the Jedi

    When Quagmire lands the plane in the field, he turns to the co-pilot and says, "That was too close." The co-pilot appears to be the Sullustan Nien Nunb who was the co-pilot on the Millennium Falcon during The Battle of Endor. Quagmire's comment also alludes to Lando Calrissian, who says the same thing after hitting part of the Death Star's inner structure. []
  • Babe

    The scene where 3 mice say "three weeks later" accompanied with a black slide with three weeks later on it is an allusion to the movie Babe. In Babe, 3 mice narrated much of the story in a similar way. []
