I think one of the hardest I’ve laughed at the show is when Stan gives the cab to a young newlywed couple and then tells the next cabbie about it. He goes “want me to follow them” and Stan’s squinting “I do….. but there’s no time”. Just the double subverting expectations of the cabbie making the insane offer and Stan making the insane acceptance of it tickles me.

This show reminds me of Mr. Show in that it constantly builds on and subverts the same joke.

"It was a mistake, Francine. I wasn't thinking straight. I was with my friends, we had some drinks, we we're on a boat. I was... I was boat-notized."

"Boat-notized? Oh, like ship-notized?"

"Ship-notized? That means nothing."

The dialogue in this show feels tailor made for me, like some kind of drug engineered specifically for my DNA.

It's the perfect blend of writing and delivery that no other show really approaches for me. Even ~20 years in.

I dunno why I didn't pick up on it before but this time the gag of him constantly losing limbs (and still managing to fight the guards off) because of Jeff distracting him cracked me up

Anyone know all the style references from the wormhole scene? I got the obvious ones, like South Park, Cubism, Simpsons, but I'm guessing there are some deep cuts there as well.

I watch the show generally while doing other things so I don’t give it the full attention it deserves and as a result I find myself noticing things I missed the first 5 times watching an episode. For some reason in the NaviJoe episode where Klaus becomes Stan’s car I completely missed the running gag about Zagnut bars where Klaus has his stolen then they stop a theft of one and the bad guys are the Zagnut boys hiding in Zagnut gulch. All they do is steal cars and Zagnut bars.

The episode has some amazing moments. Like Francine going “I thought I was your best friend” and Stan’s “Really?” Delivered almost curiously.

I just remembered I paid $11,000! I kept tipping the salesman during the negotiation. Kept him VERY motivated.

I’m comin NaviJoe!

I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

I get Doug vibes from this one, but it's pretty much entirely because of Jeff's nose/head shape.

I love pretty much every episode involving the Bazooka Sharks but I think the Die Hard one about how Haley and Stan can't communicate is my favorite. There are so many great moments. "Wait a minute! You're not the asian woman who plays Great Dwight!" and then Sky Crooner up in the rafters, Stan getting his hot dog shoved through the vent grate, Stan and Haley desperately trying to name black women. It's got so much to love.

Was about to watch the hurricane episode when I remembered that it's a 3 parter with Family Guy and Cleveland Show. So I figure "Man, I gotta go get those to watch first!"

Nothing to see here. Move along.

Isn't the Family Guy hurricane episode the one where Meg finally sticks up for herself and tells everyone to gently caress off, before realizing without her to abuse the family falls apart, so she has to continue being the family whipping boy so her abusers don't have to feel bad?

Yep.

The Cleveland episode is all about how Junior decides he doesn't believe in god and the whole rest of the family try to convince him otherwise.

Pretty much. It helps because Francine is an actual character with depth.
