My sister and I were hoping this episode would have the guys go on a manhunt for the Grinch.
Doesn't sound like that's going to happen, and Joe's backstory will be re-conned.

Unfortunately, that's what happened.


If it's anything like that other episode, Glenn's new cat is gonna die.


Nice try Brian.

Scalding asphalt angel.... why?

And now, poetic justice! Oh wait. he's dead.

^At least Quagmire acknowledged the Grinch thing. And they get points for having Semi-Charmed Life playing at the heroin bust.

 

[CartoonFridays]

Nice they pointed out the Grinch thing. This show isn't as nonsensical as it once was.
LOL Briggs pointing out Joe's fake speech pattern.

My favorite parts are Gay Jacked,The scene with Brian and Lois,and Swiss Army Penis XD

 

[Peter Paltridge]

A lot of the jokes in this one were just too harsh and cruel to be funny. Sorry, guys, it wasn't your week.

Well, at least they mentioned that Joe just used the Grinch story was just a cover-up because he was too embarassed about what really happened, so it's good to know they didn't forget. But yeah, it would have been cool if they had went after the grinch, but they probably would have needed permission from Chuck Jones Enterprises or whatever studio animated that.

They would've needed permission from Dr. Seuss's estate for that. Chuck Jones doesn't own the characters.
Either way, I'm glad they didn't because that just wouldn't look good having the Grinch be shooting and trying to kill people, and then get killed himself.

 

[Daffyfan2003]

Yeah. I guess that makes sense. I guess it's best that the episode was the way it was. But they have killed Kool-Aid Man in an early episode. You never know what they're going to do.
