It's Alright

Nothing special. But it's fine. Nothing really to say, just random stuff they could think of.

Not Really Funny :/
AbbeyThoughts14 July 2021
Honestly okay until the end of Peter's story where they needlessly threw in a Baby Shark joke.

Is this supposed to be a season finale?

Come on guys... You can do better than this. This episode felt like 'where's the actual episode?'

Unusual - a no Stewie, Brian, Chris, or Meg, but pretty watchable regardless
mja5817 May 2021
The focus of this episode is on Peter, Glenn, Cleveland and Joe - with Joe being a little slighted. Various anecdotes referencing "Rocky", Cuban Baseball, and American Tennis. Strange....

Look for:

1. A MUSCULAR and FIT Cleveland who is from Cuba, comes to the USA and gets into Canadian Baseball league.

2. A Glenn Quagmire who is a tennis pro and plays against various other tennis pro's like Bjorn Borg, and is portrayed as a Ilie Nastase knock off.

3. Peter who is portraying Rocky (from the 1976 movie) and is his usual unfit self.

4. Joe gets the shortest story, showing him as being in an 1980's aerobics contest.

Also, in Peter's "Rocky" segment, look for a Brian-like puppy in the pet shop sequence.

Not bad, Family Guy!

Zero laughs from me.

I was yawning throughout this episode. I'm glad I recorded it, so I can zip through the commercials.

Y'all too serious
Ocean622-43-16756323 May 2021
I laughed very loudly and even snort laughed at some point. If you didn't laugh and got offended, lighten up. 9/11 was a horrible tragedy but I feel like humor helps healing.

Please lay it down
spedwards-8427625 May 2021
I am in physical pain. I used to love this show, grew up on it, but the writing since season 9 has been so hollow, now it just physically pains me to see it. For a season finale you should at least save your best episode of the season, but this falls so far short of that. There's no heart in it anymore. The show is a soulless Cash Cow for Ad Revenue and that's all that's left of it.

Okay last episode.... lets just sweep together some rubble and rubish and cram that into 20 minutes...
vuileharry17 May 2021
Well, this episode just does't give me much else to say than this title... sorry.

I'm not at all angry though, we got quite some very fun episodes this season! See you next season again Family guy!

Back to back good and funny episodes
tylerdrums-6278429 May 2021
Warning: Spoilers
Funny episode for sure, that binoculars scene was gold alone. Cuba Gooding Jr's? Are y'all just too young for this?

What in the world happened to this show?
j_cary8817 May 2021
I couldn't finish the second half of the episode... it was beyond boring. Were they even trying to be funny in this? Just beyond stupid, and sends this horrible season out with a snore.

Every episode of this recent season was either leftist brainwashing propaganda, a snooze fest, or both. I honestly didn't even chuckle.

One of the best episodes ever
dchidixon14 August 2021
I haven't laughed this hard since the early days of Family Guy. I don't need drama or a compelling storyline,I come to Family Guy to laugh, and this was just subtle joke after subtle joke; I was roaring out loud at the cleverness of the jokes. Freddie Mercury dying from AssFault, Castro having Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, and Peter saying the worst part of boxing was The Wayans....it was like Family Guy mixed with Airplane. I love a show where the jokes have layers, and this one had me on my feet searching for the pun or cultural reference.

Possibly the worst episode ever
knoxfan200823 May 2021
I'm a completionist, which is why I'm doomed to watch Family Guy embarrass itself for the rest of time. Holy crap this episode was probably the worst ever, it's next level lazy. The whole episode consisted of the narrator of the segment saying something and the visuals showing the exact same thing at the same time, making it all completely superfluous. The saying is Show don't tell, but this episode decided "Show AND tell AND over-explain the awful jokes".

As soon as Quagmire said he played tennis, I said to myself "Okay, so he's just gonna be John McEnroe", and sure enough, 30 seconds later, the whole joke for the next 7 minutes is that he's John McEnroe.

Cancel this show already and put everyone out of their misery. The animation, "jokes" and voice acting is the worst it's ever been.

Fire your writers
matt090223 May 2021
Family guy is so unbelievably bad now. Your writers must have pretty much given up. All the jokes now are lame. Family guy used to be the funniest show on TV now it is by far the lamest show on network TV. Since family guy gave into the left and the woke minority it has turned to garbage and this episode is a perfect example of it.

Episodes like this is why I stopped watching
jpapanone17 May 2021
A few years back.

This one one of the worst episodes.

Extremely boring. Terrible "jokes".

No redeeming qualities.

If it was turned in as homework, teacher should return it and say...nope. Try again. I don't think you understood the purpose of this show. To entertain...to make people laugh. This did neither of those.

just wayyyy to mediocre
standledropstan18 May 2021
This season of family guy was actually kinda decent and it had some great jokes throughout but this episode was plain garbage and the fact that this is the series finale is even more disappointing,some jokes were ok some were terrible all im gonna say is i expected much much better.

Downhill.
ferdypruntel23 May 2021
When you're not laughing at a show that's based around comedy after this many seasons, it's forgivable... When you can't even be invested anymore about the plot and/or entertainment value; what is even the point anymore.

Shut this episode off halfway through since it was just that awful.

What's wrong with you people?
rovert-mccarthy29 May 2023
What's wrong with you people? This episode was freaking hysterical! I laughed so hard I almost peed myself at cleavlands bay of pigs joke. And when he said caymen my a** cmon😂 and quagmires bit was hilarious, when the tennis ball got stuck in his racket PLEASE💀 and the 9/11 thing where quagmire hit the ball at the planes, CMON I had to pause it to give myself ample time to laugh. Now peters bit oddly enough was kind of a miss in my opinion which is strange considering he's considered the star but still got some laughs like when he got stuck in the ropes but come on guys, on the more sophisticated episodes you guys complain. On the less sophisticated episodes you guys complain. Make up your freaking minds people.

Like a lazy clip show
rcl13018 October 2021
One of the worst episodes, not at all funny. Lazy writing, like a clips show. You can tell someone wrote the entire episode at home during lockdown in about 30 mins while looking after their children at the same time. Maybe they needed to fill the remaining episodes? Series 20 is disappointing.

You call this entertainment?
richardratliff17 May 2021
Whomever made the September 11th joke should be seriously ashamed of themselves. It was disgusting and below low brow. I knew this cartoon turned in to propaganda but that was too far.

stop trying to make the cleveland show happen. it's not gonna happen.
ciaralynch-4336520 May 2021
What's that? Cleveland's story revolves around a historical feel, jokes about the failure of the cleveland show and relying on the nostalgia associated with his morgan freeman-esque voice? Quaqmire's story revolves around sexual innuendos and his LGBTQ parent? And peter's story revolves around him being a complete and utter idiot? The flanderisation of the characters of this show is beyond laughable at this point, and this episode is a perfect example. Please either follow in the suit of american dad and develop the characters into some new, absurd story points, or just retire the show completely. I will watch new episodes for as long as they are released, but this is one of maybe 3 modern episodes where i have been actually bored in the runtime enough to mentally tune out. There's not one thing noteworthy or commendable about this 20 minutes of runtime, which is a sad thing to say about a show that was once one of the most refreshing and enjoyable shows on tv.

I'm giving it points for creativity. That's it
tabbycatcundiff17 May 2021
Family Guy has done similar episodes like this and it seems no one likes them so I'm wondering why they keep trying to make them. I didn't laugh once. Quagmires story was really the only interesting one.

I guess you could say it was a new creative direction just because it pulls from the norm, but.....that's it. I paused it a few times because I was losing interest. I'm deep into studying right now for an exam and I promised myself that I would only watch one episode of something. So I chose Family Guy and wow. I screwed my self over. If your a Family Guy fan, of course support the show and watch it, but maybe have it on as background.

To Quote Steve Smith: "That's Some Weak Sauce Stan."
MamadNobari9717 May 2021
Seriously? This is the episode you're gonna end the season with?

The only good episode I remember from this season was the Terminator one and they could've just put that one at the end and not finish the season with... whatever this was.

There are so many lame jokes here that actually became cringey at times. And the plotlines weren't funny or interesting.

And I would've given it a 5 if they didn't use that abominable Baby Shark song at the end, that deserves to take of a score from your rating.
