Man, I thought the vomiting scene was hilarious!

Maybe it's because I was with other people to enjoy it, but it was still funny otherwise.

And I don't really see the Simpsons reference as a jab of any sort.

I liked it a lot.

And I had actually forgotten about the vomit scene until it was brought up. Since it was, I'll just say this: they could have made it funnier.

Lackluster plot, but I really did like the jokes.

and also, the first time they've tried to make a "calm stewie" that made me laugh this season.

"oh yeah, it's just...you know...this crazy thing"

as others have mentioned, the vomitting scene was bad, but just about everything else was hilarious. i especially loved the stewie's glick cutaway. great episode. B+

Well let’s see I'm a very big Family Guy fan so I enjoyed the episode a lot either way. The jokes were great the Simpson reference I loved I laughed so much and the end when Brian asked that question about the trunk I laughed just as much. The puking scene I didn't mind. A lot of my family didn't care about that scene too much they laughed like me. I loved the talking babies plot better but it was a great episode over all. I give this episode an A+

I thought the vomit scene was hilarious, I laughed till my eyes watered. It wasn't the vomiting itself, but the characters reactions inbetween... the "dumb" factor of them not seeing it coming the first time. Episode was good overall.

It was funny but it didn't pick up until the middle. The start was crap. 4/5.

[simplysimpson]

Yeah decent episode and I was also one who found the vomiting scene hilarious - especially when Brian asked Peter to hold his ears.

[NoOneFamous]

And I don't really see the Simpsons reference as a jab of any sort.

Nope, it was a jab at the fans, or the fact that so many people try to be cool by referencing the simpsons, but those who aren't diehard fans end up referencing the most well known, cliche' jokes.

i really enjoyed it. my second favourite of the season so far after north by north quahog. really funny all the way through, i was in tears when stewie was standing in front of the mirror practicing what he was going to say to the babysitter with his bulging 'package'. 9/10

Great episode, way better than I expected, which was good. I speculated that it would have more focus on Meg, but I was wrong, and even when it was focused on Meg, it was still pretty okay. I loved all the jokes (Do you know what I do? I spit in your mouth when you sleep.), but what really made the episode was the pee-wee reference. I was loving it throughout the entire viewing!

4/5

Just caught this on Adult Swim last night.

Let me begin by saying that the vomiting scene was the worst thing ever. Not just in terms of "Family Guy" jokes, but in terms of everything that's ever meant to be funny in the history of the world. I don't care if you people think I'm overreacting - I hated it with all my being, and because of it, I'll never, ever watch this episode again.

And in regards to the rest of the episode...well, it's not often that I say this, but this whole episode felt like one twenty-two minute long bad dream. I mean, if I were to have a dream about "Family Guy", this is how it would turn out. A plot as nonsensical as Peter actually selling Meg to Neil is just indescribably insane, and it went over the line of Peter's level of normal stupidity to the point where he's just unthinkingly heartless. I'd expect that from Stan on "American Dad" - and I consider Stan to be a horrible character. Just nothing felt right in this episode, aside from Stewie attacking the boyfriend, which was the only positive point in this episode (Stewie hasn't been really evil this season outside of this scene). Meg actually wanting to date Neil was far too forced, Brian's not dumb enough to go along with Peter's Ipecac idea, Lois actually dressing as Mystique and trying to screw Neil at the end was painful, and now Quagmire intentionally gives his dates veneral diseases? It's episodes like this that make me sit back and think "What in the name of holy hell have the writers been smoking in the last three years to make them forget how to write for this goddamn show?" I'm sorry, and I really could not care less if other people like this episode - I believe this to be the worst episode of "Family Guy" to ever darken my television screen.

I know that fucking vomiting scene is gonna be playing over and over in my head every time I eat something, or go to work, or talk to someone, or attend a church service, or do anything - it's stuck in my brain to haunt me now. There's no way I can forget something that painfully awfully unfunny and sadistic. I need to see a brain surgeon and have them get that out - or better yet, have them just erase the whole fucking fourth season from my brain, because it's all been horrible. All of it. I can't watch this show anymore. I'm sorry, but I'm done. This sorry excuse for entertainment has decimated my faith in "Family Guy". They're not making quality episodes anymore, and there's no two ways about it. There's no reason for me to watch if it's just gonna make me depressed.

Peter has done worse things to Meg than what you saw in this episode; did you not see last Sunday's episode?

At least this season, they're actually DOING things with Meg instead of making her a useless side character, although I do personally believe they should lay off the bits where they treat her like the forgotten step-daughter or that kinda crap. If they're gonna make Meg the "Charlie Brown" member of the family, they have to make it funny.

As for the remainder of the season, I have no problem with the sick jokes, or the return of a lot of the side characters, like the Greased-Up Deaf Guy and Herbert. But other than the Meg thing, and a few jokes that go on for too long, I noticed that the writers are using a lot of jokes that involve smoking crack or pot, at least more so than they used to.

[Wavy Gravy]

I did not see last Sunday's episode, no. But Peter being a jackass isn't my gravest concern right now - it's just the fact that I don't find the new episodes to be good. The jokes aren't funny, the characters act differently, cutaways are just there for the sake of being there...it's not "Family Guy", it's more like a bad parody of "Family Guy".
