Family Guy: A Stache from the Past (2023)
30 humorless minutes
Peter becomes obsessed with a $600 Mr. Potato Head. That is the peak of the episode. Seriously. It's a diluted way of copying an overused joke. Lois agrees with me saying that it is ridiculous "even for Peter". But it only gets worse. Peter takes a reverse mortgage from a TV salesman. Somehow it's funny because TV scams and old people am I right? Peter tracks down the salesman with America's most hated mayor Wild West just in case anyone at home was enjoying the episode. Wild West has a cringe song that they somehow repeat at the end of the show as "humor".
Stewie and Brian subplots are usually funny or at least charming, but this episode crams down a rushed flee market sideplot. It ends with a ridiculous but still humorless meetup of characters competing for "most flee market sales" or whatever.
A lot bad Family Guy episodes at least try something new, but this episode doesn't. Cutaways lack any edge. I miss when Family Guy just had some random 80s jokes or whatever instead of forcing lowest common denominator played out ones from recent politics and pop culture. This episode even bother to time their lame jokes within the horrendous plot. This is one of the top 10 worst episodes and hopefully the worst of the season.
