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.

Worst.. episode.. ever..

Family Guy always had a weird obsession about Tom Cruise.

Instead of fresh jokes or creative storytelling, we get tired references and predictable Cruise jokes that have been done a thousand times before-and not really deserved.

It's disappointing to see a show that once pushed boundaries now relying on stale parodies of decades-old movies. The humor feels forced, and the pacing drags because there's simply no substance beyond the lazy spoof.

Top Gun remains one of the most iconic and respected film franchises in cinema history Instead of acknowledging this, Family Guy falls back on tired Cruise jokes and shallow parodies that feel completely out of touch.

Mocking Top Gun at this point feels desperate, like they're punching at something far above their own dwindling relevance.

Why did they parody a movie that is several years old? Made the episode feel entirley dated. The episode was not needed and the jokes all fell flat. Once can only hope this is the worst of the new season and they aired it first to get it out of the way, buy why did they make it at all? This does not bode wll for the new season. Many long time fans of the show have given up on it. I did not, but this episode makes me fear that thy are correct. If you have yet to see this episode, my advice is you do not. Just waiy until next week. I do not see how it can be worse than this one and I hope episode 2 is much, much better.

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.

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.
