Never let anybody suggest that “Family Guy” lacks diversity. This opener, which gave birth to some of the show’s most spectacular musical episodes, is a surprisingly sad affair, with Brian burying his own stuffed mother in an unassuming park. The Bob Hope estate’s legal team gets warmed up as a result, and a famous “Family Guy” trope is formed.

Peter convinces him to reveal himself to the world, taking down President George W Bush in the process.īut the main reason the episode is so great is the aforementioned 'Surfin' Bird' running gag, in which Peter annoys the hell out of everyone by continuously finding ways to shoehorn in the catchy 1950s Trashmen tune. 'I Dream of Jesus' (season 7)īest line: "Sir, our maths shows that the bird is equal to, or greater than the word."ĪKA the 'Bird is the Word' episode.
