As much as the promos hyped the Pirate angle, it only got like 3 minutes of screen time. It was almost a footnote for the episode. Also, that dead frog gag committed the usual Family Guy sin of milking a one-off situation gag far, far, far too long. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.191.133.190 (talk) 14:05, 5 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Music

What was that song, if it was one that plays at the end on the Busy Businesslady Whose Life Is Missing Something But She Can't Figure Out What Because She's So Busy With Business scene? Sarujo (talk) 00:55, 13 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

'Twas the opening piano riff from 'Clocks' by Coldplay BMHBrown (talk) 22:16, 23 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Dead Parrot

Don't we need a cultural reference to Monty Pythons flying Circus? the dead parrot seams like a dead give away. Although it would have been better of someone had mentioned he might be resting, or commented on the beautiful plumage. What do you think? Is a mere dead parrot enough to be reference to MPFC? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.244.2.167 (talk) 22:28, 17 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I kept waiting for an obvious nod to MPFC, but it never came (legal issues?), so I don't think a 'cultural reference' is called for. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 208.120.75.201 (talk) 22:13, 17 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Censorship

"A short yet distasteful joke about possible sex with a 12 year old girl is included in both the adult swim version and the regular version."

I have removed this line from the censorship section since it is an opinion that was probably put in by someone who wanted their distaste for the joke known. Also, it is not necessary to mention a joke which appeared in all versions of the show in a section about what was removed from some versions. -- Lynch2007 (talk) 00:07, 30 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Done, and actually, I went ahead and removed the Full Meal Jacket cultural reference, as it was strangely unreferenced, though the rest is fine now. Gage (talk) 17:10, 22 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Check [on both]. Thank you to Gage for getting the stuff I left at the talk page, because I have gone off and placed the article as GA. Congrats. ;) -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 18:17, 22 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
