Seth MacFarlane Schools Sarah Palin
I am not a Family Guy fan. Truthfully, I have not seen many episodes. But every time I watch it, I feel like most of the jokes are not really jokes, they are just references. I.E.:
Peter: I haven't felt this bad since we took acid and went to see Shields and Yarnell!
Flashback to Shields and Yarnell show. Shields and Yarnell perform their famous robot couple routine on stage. Peter and Lois stand up in the audience and begin removing their clothes.
Peter: It's people! Soylent Green is people!
Lois (screaming): You're no Mummenschanz!
But that being said … WELL PLAYED, SETH MACFARLANE.
Bonus videos: Please put your hands together for … Shields and Yarnell and Mummenschanz!
It''s a goddamned crime more people don''t know who Mummenschanz or Shileds and Yarnell are.
1That episode was one of those things where I was wondering the whole time if it was ok to find it funny. I''m glad to have been given official permission :)
Also, those "Life Goes On" writers were Hollywood elitists who didn''t know what it''s like to use a special needs child as a prop.
