Peter stumbles upon Cleveland's Mustache Aficionado Magazine and decides that's what's missing from his life. He grows a big ol' My Name is Earl type 'stache and is almost immediately mistaken for a fireman and pressed into service at the flaming McBurgertown
restaurant. Peter manages to rescue a man from the flames, but loses his mustache in the process. He tries duct taping Brian to his face to replace the mustache but it doesn't work out.
The man Peter rescued turns out to have been the owner of the
McBugertown and he offers Peter free burgers for life. Peter decides
to eat his lifetime supply in one sitting and after 30 burgers he has
a stoke leaving him completely paralyzed on the left side of his body.
Peter spends months moping around the house and finally decides to try stem cell research and within five minutes he's completely back to normal -- with revenge against McBurgertown the only thing on his mind. He sues the giant corporation and loses (probably because his lawyer was a talking cat, but I digress).
Frustrated with the legal system Peter decides to take matters into
his own hands and he and Brian break into the corporate headquarters of McBurgertown where they meet a talking cow about to be slaughtered (Ricardo Montalbån, Fantasy Island). With the cow's help Peter is able to bring down the McBurgertown corporation but after all is said and done he doesn't want the cow staying with them in the Griffin house, even though he made some promises that he would take care of the specialcow.
Over in the b-plot, Stewie bets Brian that he can become the most
popular boy in Meg's school. He dresses up and poses as Zack Sawyer a cool, new kid who just moved to town. He impresses the kids and becomes popular but it all goes terribly wrong when he hooks up with one of the popular girls and she sees his "baby penis."

"TearJerker"
Original Airdate 1/13/08
This concept episode centers around a James Bond style parody starring Stan Smith and the supporting cast. Stan plays James Bond, of course, and his boss B (Bullock -- Patrick Stewart, Star Trek TNG) sends him to infiltrate the headquarters of a baddie named Tchochkie Schmear (Klaus -- the goldfish). Schmear/Klaus has been kidnapping celebrities from his resort and replacing them with robots, who in turn, star in terrible movies being directed by Schmear's henchman Tearjerker (Roger the alien). Roger is making terrible movies to fund his masterpiece "Oscar Gold" about a Jewish boy who's mentally retarded, alcoholic and has a puppy with cancer. The movie is set during the Holocaust and Tearjerker's plan is for the movie to make the world cry itself to death. Stan foils the plot of course and in the end Tearjerker is killed(?) by falling into a volcano.
The McStroke storyline was hilarious. The animation was truly funny and Peter's attitude was very funny.
ReplyDelete"Uh Lois, you mind telling me what the hell you think you're doin'?" he says as she hands a beer to his "stroke arm". When he drinks the beer and it just runs down his shirt, it was another laugh-out-loud moment.
The Zack Sawyer storyline was just okay. I liked the jokes about how shallow teens are, but the storyline didn't have a funny ending.
