(Sorta) Remembering those Family Guy Star Wars spoof specials

Continuing on the Star Wars celebration in honor of the upcoming Star Wars: The Force Awakens, who else remember the time that FOX's animated sitcom, Family Guy, once spoofed the Star Wars trilogy from A NEW HOPE to the RETURN OF THE JEDI? Yes, I know, that show is well notorious for putting Star Wars references through the years and who can blame them? It's the producers to blame for putting Star Wars jokes in the hit TV show but the biggest of all the Star Wars jokes in the show is those Family Guy Star Wars spoof specials, just to keep them from moaning about this show has too much Star Wars jokes on it.

For some purposes, the Family Guy producers imagine what would Luke Skywalker be like if Darth Vader is his brother, Han Solo is his dad, and Princess Leia is his mom. That's why they've pitched in Chris Griffin as Luke, Stewie Griffin as Darth Vader, Peter Griffin as Han Solo, and Lois Griffin as Princess Leia, among many others including Brian as Chewbacca, Cleveland as R2-D2, Quagmire as C-3PO, and Herbert as Obi-Wan Kenobi.

First up, there's FAMILY GUY's take on STAR WARS: A NEW HOPE, called Blue Harvest. Well, you don't need me to explain about what just happened, it's more of Family Guy's retelling of the first Star Wars film made. From Mos Eisley to the Millennium Falcon, there is no bit of A NEW HOPE is safe from signature Family Guy moments. We kinda enjoy the one part where Herbert (as Obi-Wan) does Dirty Dancing.  The sofa joke is not so bad, but the climactic battle at the Death Star is what punched me through.

Two years later, THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK has been spoofed and retold in SOMETHING, SOMETHING SOMETHING DARK SIDE. Yep, that title of Family Guy's spoof of The Empire Strikes Back kinda remind you of a cutaway gag where the Emperor tries to figure out the Star Wars dialog. "Something, Something, Something, Dark Side. Something Something Complete." Anyway, in here, Luke (Chris) has a vision of his late mentor Obi-Wan (Herbert), telling him to go through the Dagobah system to meet Yoda (Carl). Meanwhile, Leia (Lois) and Han (Peter) are in love until a fateful encounter with Lando Calrissian (Mort) lured him to the Empire. It all ends when Luke faces off with Darth Vader and there goes...well, you know the iconic part.

IT'S A TRAP is the conclusion of the Family Guy Star Wars spoof specials and it's basically the spoofed version of STAR WARS: THE RETURN OF THE JEDI. In the finale, we can see Lois' dad, Carter, (who was Uncle Owen in the first one) re-emerged as the nefarious Emperor Palpatine as well as Peter's paraplegic best friend Joe as Jabba the Hutt. Cleveland Show's Rallo and Fred and American Dad's Klaus made special appearances as well. It's worth more enjoyable to watch than seeing Luke (Chris) accidentally broke Darth Vader (Stewie)'s head before escaping the second Death Star, getting ready to be blown by the rebel squadrons.

So, those Family Guy Star Wars spoof specials, they maybe more of an insult to the original Star Wars films buy for an average Family Guy fan, they're worth enjoyable to watch over and over and over again. Sadly though, these hilarious trilogies were not as hilarious as what the stop-motion gag show Robot Chicken did to Star Wars. That thing comes later.

If you haven't seen these three specials, they're available to stream via Amazon or Netflix. Star Wars: The Force Awakens is showing in theaters this 18th of December. And watch Family Guy on FOX. Check local listings.

The Family Guy Simpsons Crossover episode

This is the first time I've ever witness two of Fox's hilarious animated comedies colliding with each other into one very special episode the whole world ever experienced since...well you know.

The Simpsons, one of the world's animated comedy greats that has been around for 25 years now, and Family Guy, even called a rip-off, it's Seth MacFarlane's biggest attempt to create a TV show that drives people crazy with its toilet humor, strong-ish language, sexual fantasies, and numerous references from other stuff. Now, what happens when they combine these two? The result, in all-out clash of two cartoon comedy greats showing who's boss, although there are a few trespassers popped out during this episode.

And yes, our dream of seeing Peter Griffin and Homer Simpson in a fistfight has finally came true. We've been waiting for this right moment to come in this special episode.

(sigh) I hope that's enough about that. One Family Guy Simpsons crossover is enough for us to satisfy our love for these shows.

In case you missed it: #BrianGriffinLives

In case you missed last night's Family Guy episode, titled Christmas Guy, great news! Brian's back for good!

Near the end of the episode, when Stewie encountered a kid that really is Stewie along with the gizmo that involves time-travel on it, he enlisted temporary pooch pal Vinnie (played by Tony Sirico) to distract him. While the other Stewie gets distracted, the real Stewie gets the portal.

Before Stewie uses this time-travelling portal to save Brian, Stewie bids farewell to Vinnie. After bidding them farewell, Stewie's off to the scene of Brian's death and when Stewie saw a car approaching to Brian, STEWIE SAVED BRIAN! Hooray!

Guess this plot twist will be a memorable one, but still, it's good to see our favorite pooch back for good!

Family Guy bids farewell to Brian

Last night's episode of Family Guy, titled Life of Brian, served as a fond farewell to one of the show's fan favorites...apparently. Yes, this episode made a fond farewell to our favorite family pooch, Brian. Oh and if you haven't watch this, LOOK AWAY, NOW!

In that episode, when Brian and Stewie messed up the history when Native Americans took over the USA, they have to go back to the Native American era and surrendered the advanced weaponry from the Indians. Later on, Stewie destroyed the time machine for the good of it and dispose it to the dump.

When the two playing with the stuff they found in the dump, Stewie gets back inside to get something when suddenly, Brian got ran over by an approaching vehicle. At the veterinary, Brian says his last words before his shocking death that shocked the viewers' minds...theoretically.

“You’ve given me a wonderful life. I love you all.”

So there you go, folks. A fond farewell to our favorite talking pooch. We all gonna miss him, although I'm not particularly sure if that new pooch character named Vinnie , played by Tony Sirico from The Sopranos, is going to be a temporary or a permanent replacement but we'll find out if there's any truth.

Top Gear meets Family Guy

Peter Griffin reads Top Gear magazine

Peter Griffin, everyone's favorite idiot father and star of Family Guy, revealed to be a huge Top Gear fan and on the December 2013 issue of Top Gear Magazine, on sale this week, there's a segment where Top Gear magazine interviews Peter Griffin himself. Yes, really!

With Peter Griffin got himself the Top Gear magazine spotlight he deserves, what's next? Make a Top Gear cutaway gag on Family Guy? Or make the Family Guy intro a bit Top Gear-ish for the fun of it?

Family Guy presents It's A Trap!

Family Guy presents
It's A Trap!

Family Guy does Star Wars Episode VI by spoofing the final chapter of the Star Wars trilogy and it was one overacting spoof that made it more hilarious than the two Family Guy Star Wars specials such as Blue Harvest (since 2007) and Something Something Something Dark Side (since 2009). With all of the O.A. stuff poured it on the Family Guy-gagged version of Star Wars Episode VI: The Return of Jedi, I bet this is one heck of a ride to the bathroom to laugh all you want, remembering those damn funny scenes. What's even more to fuel up the whole gig is adding Roger and Klaus from American Dad and Tim and Rallo from Cleveland Show as special guests on It's A Trap!

For those who watched the original Return of the Jedi story, you probably know what that meant and this gagged version still brings Chris as Luke, Brian as Chewbacca, Peter as Han Solo, Lois as Leia, Quagmire as C3PO, Cleveland as R2-D2, and Stewie as (you know who) Darth Vader. This chapter packed with gags, gags, and more gags filled as Luke continues to battle against the Dark Side.

Guess our hate got us even more powerful and the jokes never been so damn fresh, funny, and The Force will bring us super stomach aches after spending the whole hour laughing. Whoever watched this would want to watch it a thousand times than Blue Harvest (the Family Guy-gagged version of Star Wars Episode IV) and Something Something Something Dark Side (Family Guy-gagged version of Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back). Pinch me, I witnessed the humor and makes me want to see the Millenium Falcon blow up the Death Star II's power station and take note the Power Station band. I guess this was unknowingly a LOL (laugh out loud) feat for Seth McFarlane and friends to blow up the whole Star Wars franchise while it lasted. Episode IV, V, and VI were just the beginning for them and spoofing it was a creative fun. I terrifically love it!

Featuring the voices of : Seth McFarlane, Seth Green, Mike Henry, Alex Borstein, Mila Kunis, Patrick Wartburton, et. al.
