Speaker A
Mom, Dad, I'm having Bruce and Jeffrey's baby.
Speaker A
That's wonderful. What do you say we take this party to the top of the stairs?
Speaker A
Top of the stairs. It's not an abortion, it's an oopsie. Brian, say hello to the new snack captain.
Speaker A
You actually won? Wow, congrats, Stewie. I thought you being a mistake ruined your chances. How'd you pull it off?
Speaker A
It turns out 70% of the kids' parents aren't married and 30% are mistakes. Nobody gets married anymore. One kid doesn't even have parents. He just kind of appeared. Sleeps in one of the cubbies.
Speaker A
I mean, that's the story I would have told this week, but whatever. Oh, and Doug died in a commuter plane crash this morning.
Speaker A
There's a girl I like at school and I'm not sure if she likes me back.
Speaker A
Now, here's what you should do. You take out a hefty silver dollar and you drop it in her corset. If it's meant to be, she'll accept you in a room full of distractingly floral wallpaper. If not, she'll stab you in the liver with your
Speaker A
own boot knife. That's how I met my Pearl. Taking care of kids is relentless.
Speaker A
There's no escape. You know, unless you accidentally leave them in a hot car. I mean, you get less jail time than actual murder, right?
Speaker A
And in prison has to be quieter than your actual life. Meg's got the ball. Peter, quick, write something mean.
Speaker A
You're doing to this game what R. Kelly did to all the— Yeah, no, no, I'm not saying the rest of that.
Speaker A
Trust me, that was nothing. When you were born, Babs was so jealous of the attention you got, she used to put your head in the oven and try to cook you.
Speaker A
Did I never tell you that? What? No, that's kind of disturbing. Yeah, well, that's the Pewterschmidts.
Speaker A
The Pewterschmidts. The Pewterschmidts. We had three other kids who did not live by pa pa pa.
Speaker A
Everyone on our street has a Ring camera. Hello, I'm back. You guys were right.
Speaker A
Murdering strangers is better than paying my credit card bill. Are you sure you can't let us in? I'll show you a picture of a naked student.
Speaker A
That's my son. Oh, well, I have others. Uh, no, that's him again. Oh, oh, that's also him.
Speaker A
Okay, these are all Chris. Okay, Brian. Now, when you're visiting the family of a deceased victim, you need to hold a hat over your chest. It shows you care.
Speaker A
All I have is this crown from our Burger King lunch. That's a hat. How can I help you, officer and your highness?
Speaker A
Ah, yes. We're here with many questions about your daughter. You know, the dead one? You remember her? We'd love any details.
Speaker A
Is this some sort of sick joke? I assure you it's not, ma'am. We're writing a future hit novel based on your daughter's murder. We just need to know who did it. And between us, it'll be great if one of you did.
Speaker A
What is this? What do you want? Did you know JonBenét Ramsey's dad dated Natalie Holloway's mom?
Speaker A
What does that have to do with our case? Well, nothing. It's just kind of weird, right? Do you happen to have any grainy video footage of her singing an emotional song in a talent show? Maybe Green Day's Time of Your Life. That
Speaker A
would really bust this project wide open for us. You're both unwell. Well, that was a bust.
Speaker A
Sorry, I've been holding this in since Burger King. I can't believe we're going to New York City. I've always wanted to see the Twin Towers.
Speaker A
When? Aw, and who's this little guy? Uh, uh, this is Harvey. Named after Weinstein. Uh, 'cause you can see his balls when he answers the door.
Speaker A
I may be dating myself, but in the '90s, the funniest thing you could do was show people your balls. Can you start talking now, please?
Speaker A
[music] Oh my god, what did you do? He was supposed to get away. It was going to be harmless '80s fun.
Speaker A
YOU KILLED THE GOPHER. He's all right. No, he's not all right. You need a weapon or anything?
Speaker A
She's a cat. I'm a dog. I'm good. It went poorly. Hi everyone, Peter Griffin. Welcome to the roast portion of the evening.
Speaker A
Ladies and gentlemen, my son Chris. Born on the highway because that is where most accidents happen.
Speaker A
Peter. What these guests need is someone to arrange a little romance in their lives, and I'm the perfect man for the job.
Speaker A
After all, I do all of Kevin Spacey's matchmaking. So, you're not interested in having sex with Kevin Spacey?
Speaker A
Oh, good. Kevin's going to love that. What if that tree bent to keep growing toward the sun?
Speaker A
Anyway, I'm Joe, and I don't do a lot of these. Boy, wouldn't you like to know what those little guys are saying?
Speaker A
And when I give my word on something, I give it my all. Like when I got at Jeffrey Epstein.
Speaker A
We would like to see prisoner. On whose authority? Your mother. I'm having my period.
Speaker A
It's like the shining elevator down there. My 21st century box has been conquered by Eric the very red.
Speaker A
Yeah, this is getting dangerously close to a Will & Grace now. But, if you're bleeding down there, it's clearly because you hurt yourself on the slippery slide.
Speaker A
Oh, yeah? If I'm not having my period, then why am I drinking herbal tea from a large earthenware mug with no handle on it?
Speaker A
Stewie, trust me. Boys can't get periods. Brian, it's 2022. There's no such thing as a boy anymore, or a girl. Just a vast sea of chubby theys and thems, so coddled by their sanctimonious woke parents who think activism is virtue
Speaker A
signaling on Instagram. If Martin Luther King could come back and see what they were doing in his name, he'd never stop throwing up.
Speaker A
[snorts] Maybe you are having your period. All right, nothing's more fun than a family card game. Now, the game is euchre. Begin by separating the nines, 10s, face cards, and aces from the rest of the deck. The goal is to win at least
Speaker A
three tricks. Now, if the side that fixed the trump fails to get three tricks, it is said to be euchred. The highest trump is the jack of the trump suit, called the right bower.
Speaker A
Partnership making trump wins three or four tricks and earns one point. Lone hand wins three or four tricks also earns one point. However, a lone hand wins five tricks, that's worth four points. Many euchre games are scored by
Speaker A
rubber points as in whist. Oh, oh, the first side to win two games wins the rubber.
Speaker A
The dealer has the right to exchange any turned up card. Oh my god, it's the shame.
Speaker A
If the face-up card is a jack, it's considered bad luck. After two rounds if no trump suit has been declared and the stick the dealer rule is not in effect, then the cards are collected and reshuffled.
Speaker A
Family Guy is brought to you by contract bridge, way simpler than euchre. You see, in contract bridge, each player is dealt 13 cards from a standard 52-card deck. A trick starts when a player leads, i.e. plays the first card. The
Speaker A
leader to the first trick is determined by the auction. I'm Sarah McLachlan and for just $1 a day, you can help save one of these abused [music] and terrified grips from the Ellen DeGeneres Show. Whether it's a teamster
Speaker A
sobbing in his car after work or a camera operator having a sandwich slapped out of his hand just for making eye contact, [music] they need your help. So please, give today.
Speaker A
Because no one should have to spend Thanksgiving watching a millionaire try on sweaters. Chris, what are you doing?
Speaker A
And why does it smell so bad in here? Ah, well, my exotic pets somehow all killed each other.
Speaker A
Still not quite sure what the sequence was there. What, is that some kind of rule?
Speaker A
Of course it is, Lois. In network TV, if someone shows up at your door, you have to take care of them. It's the pilot of most shows.
Speaker A
Oh, really? Name 50. New Girl, Two and a Half Men, Punky Brewster, Perfect Strangers, Frasier, Will & Grace, Friends, Joey, Home Economics, Mom, Dads, Cheers, Hope & Faith, Raising Hope, Full House, Fuller House, King of Queens, That's good. I
Speaker A
think we get it. Oh, no, no, no, no, this is a name all 50 kind of show. Too Close for Comfort, Mork & Mindy, The Nanny, Mr. Belvedere, The United States of Al, Yes, Dear, Down and Out in Beverly Hills the TV series,
Speaker A
Rhoda, Golden Girls, Alf, Meego, Empty Nest, Wings, My Two Dads, Evening Shade, I Dream of Jeannie, Off Centre, Webster, The Bernie Mac Show, The Return of Jezebel James, A
Speaker A
Oh, yeah? Name 50 more. [sighs] Silver Spoons, The Odd Couple, The New Odd Couple, Diff'rent Strokes, and Oh my god, she hung herself.
Speaker A
Nah, nah, that's from Airplane. We do that kind of stuff, too. You can stay.
Speaker A
God, I wish I was the coach in the locker room giving an inspiring speech to the players. Going to tell you the one thing every football player needs to know. When you kill yourself, don't touch the brain cuz I got to take it out
Speaker A
and LOOK AT IT. [screaming] I CAN'T DISSECT THIS PIG, MR. CHEEGMAN. It's against my religion.
Speaker A
Believe me, Neil, it's no thrill for the pig to touch a Jew, either. You know, I'd lay off the naggin' if I was you. I'm a children's TV star now. I can have any three-year-old girl I want.
Speaker A
Just know that, Lois. Can you believe Brian thinking he can fire me when I'm the one who taught him?
Speaker A
I have had it with him. Absolutely had it. He's just so selfish. He drives me crazy. I don't know why I put up with it. I guess I guess I just have a forgiving personality.
Speaker A
But enough about that. I'm probably starting to bore you. It's just that whenever I start talking about Brian I want a chainsaw.
Speaker A
What? What are you talking about? Some lady up the block is giving away all of her husband's stuff cuz he shot himself in the face.
Speaker A
Oh my god! I've seen that lady. He did the right thing. That's also how we got this couch.
Speaker A
Basically, everything in this house is Christmas suicide furniture. Hey, Peter, would you get off your phone?
Speaker A
Sorry, young girls keep killing each other cuz they think I'm the Slender Man now.
Speaker A
Like, are you are you telling them to kill each other? It's just a goof.
Speaker A
It's Slender Man! Kill yourselves! Peter! Come on, it's just a goof. It takes zero thought or effort, like movies for Kevin Costner.
Speaker A
Okay, so your character's in a cowboy hat looking way off in the distance. What if it's just kind of off in the distance?
Speaker A
Uh sure. And you're having a really hard time. What if it's just kind of a hard time?
Speaker A
That should work. Oh, and the leading lady is young, but I'm guessing you prefer kind of young?
Speaker A
Nah, I won't push back on that one. It's an animal shelter, they've got everything. They even have Diddy's pitbull.
Speaker A
Just let me outside, I'll play in the yard. I won't look, I won't tell nobody nothing.
Speaker A
I don't think we have another choice. You could always cover yourself in drugged baby oil and wake up back at home.
Speaker A
I thought you said you were going to keep your mouth shut. Boy, I hope no groundhogs pop up and drag my ball into the hole.
Speaker A
Because that would be terrible. Sound like fun up there? Should we go? Honey, we can't. It's not February 2nd.
Speaker A
Ugh, one day. Black people get a whole month. Gerald, don't. What? Breast cancer gets a month, mustaches get a month, not masturbating gets a month.
Speaker A
Save it for your podcast, honey. Ugh, look at all the Jewish candy bars Moles got in here. One musketeer, bubble yuck, oy Henry, almonds content but not quite joy.
Speaker A
Somebody grab the Ouija board. I want to ask Jeffrey Epstein's ghost if he really killed himself.
Speaker A
You guys, I think Jeffrey Epstein is coming through. Hey, how old are you ladies?
Speaker A
It's him. Me, too. But I couldn't help feel a little sorry for my dad at the bowling alley.
Speaker A
He bowled with the lane guards up. Without the jeopardy of a gutter ball, what is bowling?
Speaker A
He just has his own way of doing things. Yeah, the wrong way. Honey, No, she knows. That's why she left.
Speaker A
No, I left because I love your son, not because I hate my dad. Meg, either you hate your dad or you leave this house.
Speaker A
An ultimatum. You're just like him. What did you say? You're just like him. Wait, I I can't hit you. YOU'RE A GIRL.
Speaker A
HUH. [screaming] [music] MAYBE I'LL GET HER A NOOSE WITH A CARD that says, "Don't make me hang out alone." Nah, and I'll do the brooch.
Speaker A
Save the noose for Valentine's. Oh my god. Holy crap. Oh man, Joe is going to be so pissed.
Speaker A
Thank god all we hit were those trash cans. Oh my god. Oscar. Uh, tell my ex-wife to go herself.
Speaker A
Very on brand, right up to the end. Anyway, they even want me to do one of Tina Fey's look how quirky and busy I am credit card commercials.
Speaker A
Wow, really? Yeah. Wait, I think it's starting. I hear a piano shuffle and a clarinet. Taxi.
Speaker A
Where to? Any pet shop that sells snakes. Somebody puke in here? Yeah, last night some guy.
Speaker A
Hey. It's you. Got to go. Hi, can I help you? Can I press the button that moves the clothes?
Speaker A
Sir, that's reserved for dry cleaners only. [music] It's like a roller coaster ride for pants.
Speaker A
Any calls? Your mistress called. She said she's waiting at the hotel for you. Tell her I'll be there as soon as I can.
Speaker A
She said she's pregnant. Do you know if that Mexican doctor takes credit cards? He does.
Speaker A
[music] If you're scummy and on the go, try the new Visa Gold Card. Visa, it's everywhere you want to be.
Speaker A
Unbelievable. There's hardly anyone here. Well, that's it. I'm off to a new town to start a new life.
Speaker A
Oh sorry. Don't you know what a rosary on a doorknob means? It's crazy. Like JFK deciding to cruise through Dallas in a rental.
Speaker A
How'd that convertible work out for you? Yeah, I don't I don't know. Good. Okay.
Speaker A
And did you get all your stuff out of the car? Kind of. As a result, I've rediscovered an old hobby I used to love as a kid, ventriloquism. And I wanted to invite you guys to the opening of my new show
Speaker A
at the Quahog Playhouse. Quagmire, we'd be delighted to attend. Wouldn't miss it. Gosh, thanks, Peter. That means a lot.
Speaker A
Okay, see you there. Damn it. Why did I EVEN OPEN THE DOOR? GETTING EXCITED.
Speaker A
NOW I GOT TO GO TO THIS THING. BITE ME. LAUGHING ALREADY JUST THINKING about it.
Speaker A
Only one way to get out of this. That stupid fat Guido. No, Peter, that's the wrong racial slur.
Speaker A
No, I know. I was just thinking about Snooki. What the hell's going on? Somebody's screaming in the garage.
Speaker A
Why are you still up? Because I'm in love. Oh, with that Indian chick? What was her name? Dot?
Speaker A
No, it's not Dot. It's Padma. As new law sucks. I got to say, it's kind of uncool of Mayor West to call it Peter's law.
Speaker A
No kidding. Now I know how Megan from Megan's law felt. I I don't I don't think you know how she felt.
Speaker A
All right, kids, you are really going to love these Cornish game hens I cooked for dinner. Now, I don't want to pat myself on the back, but I worked all day getting them just right. Holy crap.
Speaker A
Oh my god. Then that means And that also means You know what, Peter? You tried hard and you still earned that wine.
Speaker A
Oh my god, have you seen this? Look how fancy this thing is. They even got a special map that lets you choose who you want to dump your poop on.
Speaker A
Jeez, the synagogue button's almost worn out.
