TV Discussion Family Guy: Blue Harvest, Something, Something, Something, Dark Side & It's a Trap!

Don't know what most of you are talking about. That was great, far better than both BH and SSSDS.

I loved all of Carter/The Emperors scenes. The scene in the rebel breifing room was funny and I really liked the part where Quagmire/C-3PO tells the Ewoks the story of the Fresh Prince From bel-Air. The head nod thing was incredibly annoying though.

Easy 10/10

 

A board member's work is in these Family Guy episodes, his story here:

That joke about singers from the Nineties is so true.

 

That extended nod scene on Jabba's skiff killed me. I've had that tuba theme in my head for days now.

 

Family Guy has a habit of extending a joke just a bit too long. The head nod was funny. Then they did it again. And again. It stopped being funny.

Did like the Emperor in the Community pool area

 

Some of you guys can say what you want, but It A Trap along with the other two were pretty good. The gags, well its family guy and what can you expect. The animation was just awesome. This is awesome 2-D animation at its best. Very good, also with the Robot Chicken episodes. Star Wars belongs in animation.

 

Yes it really aaaaahaayhaayeaah.

 

So It's a Trap has another one of those stupid Conway Tweety performances?

 

I though Blue Harvest was pretty good (though we got to see the best bits at the FG panel at CIV), and Something, Something, Something Dark Side was even funnier. However, this one fell flat for me, for the most part. There were about five or six laugh out loud moments, but that was it.

Shockingly I found the crawl to be true as well, for the most part.

That Rebel suddenly jumping ahead into the briefing room was funny, the only other woman in the galaxy bit was funny, Lando with the David's Star badge, Emperor Pewterschmidt in bathing shorts was funny, the obvious AT-AT cut-out that doesn't match the torso's perspective (GREAT, ultra nerdy reference), the final Seth Green mocking that drove Luke over the edge was funny and two or three other moment were, too.

My favorite one, however, was the Planes, Trains and Automobiles reference with the AT-ST Drivers.

One of the most clever jokes of the episode.

Unfortunately, they showed pretty much all of the good bits in the trailer. Especially spoiling Vader's neck snapping was stupid.

Not delivering the Giant Chicken Boba Fett vs. Han Solo brawl was an expected ****head move by them which really... really cut this episode short of its potential. It would have been so entertaining to see them go at each other all over Tatooine and perhaps beyond.

Both this and Robot Chicken had the Emperor on the windshield gave. Interesting. Now that would have been funny had they made a reference how both shows are both ripping each other off now.

Maybe I wasn't in the right mood, I don't know. I'll give it another try soon.

Though, in hindsight, I think Herbert as Emperor Palpatine and Pewterschmidt as Obi Wan would have offered more potentially funny moments with Peter/ Han and Chris/ Brian, at least in ROTJ.

Also, no addressing the character casting choices to age ratio? I was wondering about Stewie and Lois ever since Blue Harvest.

No Han touching Leia's boob reference?

 

Has anyone bought the "Laugh it up Fuzz Ball" set on Blu-ray? I've heard that is has a digial copy of each of the movies. Is that true? I haven't bought any on Blu-Ray and was curious before I go out and buy a copy.

 

Just watched it. It was good to me but I think I still like Blue Harvest the best. My favorite parts:

- The Imperial "act casual" scene
- Han shooting Lando at the Sarlacc Pit. Mort's screams of pain won it for me there haha.
- Emperor in the pool scene

I liked the "nod" scene at the pit too but agree it went on too long. I don't understand how something like that makes it through the editing without being shortened or changed. Also, I'm not really a FG fan but I've seen enough episodes due to my brother always playing it in the background to say it's a tragedy they didn't do ANYTHING with Han/Peter and Fett/Chicken. They could have had these guys brawling through the universe in that scene and they didn't do a thing with them.

 

You know what funny is that today I was at the Best Buy in Pembroke Pines and I saw the It A Trap blue ray almost sold out. Also, The Force Unleashed 2 video was sold out on x-box 360, they still had playstattion 3 and wii. So while the comedy was a little on the flat side, and the vide game a little short on the game play side. They are selling like hot cakes. Just thought I'd mention it.

 

Also like C-3PO telling the opening of the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air to the Ewoks. "DJ Jazzy Jeff homeless".

 

I liked it but it wasn't as funny as the other two. I felt they spent too much time simply remaking the film instead of making fun of it. Still entertaining. Now bring on Raiders of the Lost Ark.

 

Didn't really care for this. Too much ROTJ and SE bashing/complaining, although the scene where Han makes the Imps dig their graves was pretty funny.

Also, what happened with Anakin/Vader was NOT funny. It takes a warm and fuzzy moment from the saga and butchers it just to create "humor" and "make it darker".

Again, didn't really care for this. The only thing I really liked was Dee Bradley Baker as Ackbar.

 

When they do this I find it almost unbearable to watch. Like everytime Peter skins his knees or whatever in the actual series.

Just not funny.

Everything else was hillarious though.

 

Yes, I bought it. There is a digital copy for each movie, yes. "It's a Trap" 2nd disc says DVD + digital copy, so I'm assuming that you can watch it on DVD player as well.

 

It's looking like the Deluxe edition is being used to push Bluray sales this time around. The only R2 DVD version to feature the shirt, cards and script has the Bluray, DVD and Digital versions: http://is.gd/jIRMF I think there's a separate Bluray version with the extras too. Not sure about R1 versions though.
I did see a NZ (R4?) version that was DVD-only with the extras, but it was going to cost me about £50 all in with shipping. So I went for the triple instead. Which, annoyingly, is in a Bluray-height box, instead of a DVD one, so the three don't line up right on the shelf.

That last sentence proves I'm a Lucas-child...

It ain't that big a deal. Oh, the t-shirt's much better than the SSSDS one, too.

Edited for spelling

 

Finally saw this, incredibly disappointed there's no Peter/Giant Chicken fight in it. They could have cut down on the nodding scene, the Conway Twitty joke and the Alderaan joke to make room for it. Sigh.

But I did laugh really hard at the Emperor in the pool scene, and the stormtrooper Ewokpillow fight.

 

Just saw the TV version and noticed that it features a completely different Sarlacc scene!

Yes, still no Peter vs. the Giant Chicken fight, but instead of cutting from the endless nodding joke to one of Jabba's men, declaring Boba Fett fell in the pit, it shows the scene as it played out in the movie instead.

Boba Fett attacks Luke, who manages to free himself from his cable, with Boba Fett dropping on the ground of the Skiff. The scene continues to follow Luke as he's battling Jabba's men. Boba Fett is suddenly gone from the movie. We go straight to Lando falling off the skiff. Weird, eh?

 

I've gone off Family Guy. It's just super-extended-to-the-point-that-all-the-potential-impact-is-lost jokes and crude humour which I don't find funny any more.
