Where's the, "None of the Above" category? Nothing about Stewie or Brian?

For shame!

Peter Vs. The Giant Chicken

neither actualy the running gag I enjoy most are the vaudville pianist and singer as well as the "Vasectoies"(Barbershop quartet who sang what's a vasectomy entails then were re-used for some sort of terminal illness).

A running gag that annoyed me however, though other than the episode it initailly came to play in it's was only used in a single segmaent of a later episode, was Peter's shin acting up when he trips. I actually counted once and he inhaled and then exhaled "ow" fourteen times I think it was, I at keast clearly recall that it was more than ten.

I forgot about the vaudeville duo. The shin incident occurred on several episodes (including one where Lois' shin acted up, rather than Peter's).

Another gag: Conway Twitty. (Incidentally, my family and I went to Branson, Missouri 16 years ago, and we saw the brochures for Conway's theater, not knowing that he had died the day before we arrived in Branson).

I liked the vaudeville gag only because at one point they had them doing their bit as ghosts and the pianist was in hell playing the piano, and the other guy commented that it was because he liked "little boys."

The taboo of that line just made me guffaw.

The Conway Twitty gag is funny but I think it may have gone a bit too far in the O.J Simpson episode.

I really like those fights between Peter vs the giant chicken. For a animated show with fights in it they look impressive. 8)

No mention of Ollie Williams? His moments are some of my favorites.

Or what about Greased-Up Deaf Guy?
