What are some of your favorite pop culture references of jokes on Family Guy.

Some of my favorite are Lois squashing the pillsberry dough boy with a batter with his last words being "What are you doing you crazy bitc..?" Ronald McDonald as a father. Mr. Rodgers, the pepping tom, when Mr. Rodgers is picking at this neighbor taking off her clothes. Gladys Graffities looking at the Griffins. "Agnus, Agnus look at what that Griffen boy is doing." "Come on, it took me two hours to get enough courage to rent this porno, are you wathing it or not." The Brady's punising there kids by making them go in a snake pit and some sort of flaming room. The Mentoos commercal with John Wilks Booth and Abroham Lincon.

But my most favorite one is in the first episode, when the Kool Aid guy breaks the wall and enters the room after everyone says "Oh No." He says "Oh Yeah." Then he slowly sneaks out of the room.

I like the one with Capt Crunch, where he asks the godfather to kill Count Chocula because he is spreading lies that capt crunch cereal cuts the roof of your mouth.

I finally picked up the DVD set of Family Guy seasons one and two this weekend, and boy I'm glad I did.

Seth MacFarlane threw tons of hysterical 70's and 80's references into each episode.
One of my faves is when Peter sings the Land Of The Lost theme song in "The King Is Dead."

There was a scene in one episode that was only aired once, in which Stewie tries to board a plane with a backpack full of knives, guns and grenades. When he walks through the metal detector, he does a little dance to distract the guards and the people that monitor the metal detectors, and as he is walking to his plane he says to himself: "Let's hope Osama Bin Laden doesn't know show tunes." - The Weird thing is, This episode was made before 9-11.

I believe it was episode 20: Road to Road Island, and it aired on May-30th-2000.

My favorite was at the end of the episode about the Griffens surviving Y2K. At the end, we see Pam from "Dallas" wake up and go into her bathroom to see Bobby Ewing showering. He turns around and says "Good morning, honey." She says she had the weirdest dream where she was watching an episode of "Family Guy" and that Stewie had tenticles and then she started crying in his arms. Then Bobby says "What's Family Guy?" and they look at the screen with puzzled looks on their faces. Great spoof of the 1985-1986 "Dallas" cliffhanger!

Yeah. The episode actually re-aired a few times, but subsequent Fox and Cartoon Network airings, as well as the episode's inclusion on region 1 DVD, cut out the Osama reference.

Coincidentally, Seth McFarlane was actually booked to be on one of the planes that subsequently hit the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001, but luckilly for him, he was too hung over to make it to the airport on time.

Ditto, but even on the DVD they cut it out!
