I unironically still watch cable TV, mostly as background noise. There is so little on these days tho I tend to just do stuff like the office, family guy, etc.
I watched this back when I was first starting to smoke weed and it made me cry with laughter. I really miss those days when the high made you feel like you were on cloud 9. Drugs man
HERBERT: Mos Eisley spaceport. You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy.
CLEVELAND: My sister Regina-D2 lives here
Mr. McGuirk and Evil Monkey in the background drinking at the bar.
ALIEN: [Shoves Luke while making alien language noises]
ALIEN 2: [Taps Luke on the shoulder] He doesn't like you.
CHRIS/LUKE: Sorry. [Turns back around]
ALIEN 2: I don't like you either!
CHRIS/LUKE: You don't even know me!
I think these came out when I was in college and they were huge events that everybody packed into the dorm to watch. I miss those days. It's weird that Family Guy started as a show aimed at, what were at the time, 20 to 30 something year old gen xers and teenage millennials. Now I don't think it really has an audience other than the normies that are still hanging on. They could not make a Star Wars parody episode anymore that would reach the kind of exposure that these did, because they were fricking huge. I was there, I remember. Can you even watch this on streaming anymore? I guess Disney now owns both properties so there's nothing stopping them. But that also makes me wonder what happens with the Robot Chicken parodies, which I think are a lot better. Are those available on streaming anywhere? The DVDs are probably getting harder to come by too
Also the future episode where Stewie has grown up had a lot of hype. And there was also all of the shit about Stewie being gay and the show possibly revealing it, which is so quaint now because it's fricking all over that show. But in the 2000s when the show hadn't quite decided to go that angle yet, people were on the edge of their seat waiting for the show to confirm it. People talk about The Simpsons having longevity but the Simpsons has been dead air for longer than it was good and it's also not been a cultural phenomenon since the early 90s. Family Guy I actually think beats The Simpsons there. In the early 2000s, it was far more omnipresent than even Rick and Morty. It came out at the perfect time, right after Simpsons died and South Park had stopped being ridiculously popular, but just before adult swim really started picking up syndicated shows (and adult swim picking up Family Guy is probably what saved both of them)
Let's begin with part 4
The intro isn't that funny (before the scroll sequence)
Angelina Jolie kissed her brother. That's pretty funny. "Gia" is ok but I'm a "Mr. & Mrs. Smith" fan myself. Space groceries is classic
Afro on Cleveland R2D2 was great, C3P0 Quagmire never really did it for me, the joke in the second where Peter doesn't know his name is great
Side note - the buns look on Leia always sucked
"My father was a service droid!"
"I ain't done nothin' to antagonize nobody"
Cleveland R2D2 pulling comedic weight early
"That's no bigger than a womp rat" lol
Keep going homosexual
>cable

Luke was always a loser, Chris making fun of his many instances of being a loser stays funny throughout the three FG episodes
Decent trilogy of specials, has a handful of funny moments
INTERGALACTIC PROTON-POWERED ELECTRICAL TENTACLED ADVERTISING DROIDS!
"I wonder if he means old Obi Wan Kenobi"
LMAO he struggled getting the couch on the millennium falcon ohhohohoho
Opie as one of the sand people is great. Herbert as Obi Wan good character pick too

Watto appearance. I can't remember if there are any other comments on the prequels in these episodes.
They make a joke about doing the prequels at the end of the third episode

That one always cracked me up. Great sequence
"Play that same song!"
The Peter as Han jokes improve later in the trilogy
"She said no. Should we still do it?"
Fat Peter in the storm trooper uniform is hilarious
Posting alternative artwork during Herbert singing sequence. Goes on too long
Mall map joke is pretty funny. I also like the Darth Vader elevator music
Aren't you a little fat to be a storm trooper?
Welp, stay here and rot you stuck up b***h
Meg as nasty garbage alien is funny
Couch gag is funny even though that other anon beat me to it making fun of it
Crazy how much is still left after Obi Wan Vader fight
R2 Cleveland shooting the Tie fighter is great. "Don't get penisy" is a classic
>P-choo, p-choo. Gotcha.
Still gets used to this day
Lots of good gags. A good watch
Please stop samegayging
I did not try to hide that
No commentary on the Rush Limbaugh bit? I thought that was pretty good.
>Inb4 NO, THAT WAS THE ROTJ PARODY! Rush was in both, you dipshit
>a bunch of weed jokes
It was so shitty back then an all the onion homosexuals we see today were teenagers and loved it.
>fire the giant boob nipple gun!
>hehehehahaha
Literally almost wet myself laughing as a 15 y/o and as an adult.

did y'all have gay sex afterward?
Yes, and lots of it!
I remember the Stewie Kills Lois hype being pretty widespread
