Fat Gun

Out of all the anthology episodes, this is one of the most well written ones ever. It tells a great story, does an amazing job parroting Top Gun, has a great selection of casting choices, and tells all sorts of great jokes. This might be the best anthology episode alongside with the original Star Wars one and the Emmy winner one.

I think this episode is a fresh start to Season 23 (not including the Hulu exclusives), and gave a strong impression of this new season. It's also one of modern Family Guy's great episodes.

Also, I think modern Family Guy is fairly over-hated. It's not the same as it used to be, but it's still funny or at least entertaining, sometimes.

Before Fat gun I was a drug addict and was in crippling depression, but after watching fat gun everything changed. I referenced the iconic "that's classified" at work today and everyone stood up and started clapping. Watching fat gun is a life changing euphoric experience that can only be described as the pinnacle of human cinematography. Fat gun is by far the best episode in any show ever! I dare say that fat gun was worth divorcing my wife that didn't wanna watch the exclusive 25 hour extra footage edition I've watched it 7 times. All I can hear when I dream is "that's classified" and man do I love it.

What happened to Family Guy?! It seems like they ran out of fresh ideas, and they are now trying to get away with mooching on the goodwill of other films. TGM has been out for years now, remaking it does not even make sense. To make things worse, it's not even funny.

This episode was especially disappointing because it's the first one in this seasons, and I've been waiting for something new for a really long time. I miss the old, comic version of Family Guy with evil Stewie and interesting plots. Any episode about his Time Machine and time travel was just fantastic. In the last couple of years, unfortunately, the storytelling quality has declined.

It's definetely not anything too crazy, but if you have all the scenes memorized, and you have just recently watched both Top Gun, this episode feels like a "Both Top Gun in a nutshell" youtube video, if anything, and if you sit down expecting exactly a nutshell montage it does a damn fine and hilarious job, altough I do get that humour is subjective, I had a fun time with it. My two problem with this episode is that for some reason newer Family Guy really focused on turning Stewie into nothing else, but a gay character, and the second is that they really tried to make that "Talk to me Goose" joke funny, which was funny a couple times, but it could've easily took half of the runtime of this episode away.

Season 23 of Family Guy kicks off with a parody of both Top Gun and Top Gun: Maverick. Honestly, I really liked this episode. It sort of gave me the same vibes I got when watching S16 E5: "Three Directors" or, hell, the Star Wars specials. This was refreshing, especially after the tragedies of "Peter, Peter, Pumpkin Cheater" and "Gift of the White Guy", which were some of the worst things to come from Family Guy in recent years.

Surprisingly, some of the jokes got some chuckles out of me. Stewies bear, Rupert, having a muscular body but the bear head was funny to me. Overall, a really fun episode.
