Family Guy: Back To The Pilot (Clip) | TBS

[@MooseChicken]

Admittedly, the joke about Peter’s eye going over his nose was pretty clever.

[@Fil_the_spil]

did it do that origanally?

[@MooseChicken]

@@Fil_the_spil It was more than likely an animation error, as those were kinda common in the early days of Family Guy.

So what were they doing when they did their cutaway?

[@Charlesperalo]

One of the best family guy episodes or episodes of TV ever. They took advantage of the fantasy element of Family Guy and it worked.

[@alvexok5523]

Yes, and I love this episode too. I have one question though. Most of the cutaway jokes were from the first episode season 1, but which season and episode was the cutaway joke where Peter said he's not going back to work and then smokes and says it's an Al Harrington cutaway? That wasn't the first season, and it was after Stewie said that they now look at their phones during cutaways. Was it season 10?

[@firghteningtruth7173]

I'm Charles Peralo and I hope you learned something. Sorry. Had to be done.

[@Chickenz663]

nah it's another mediocre family guy episode

[@TrickQ2]

The fantasy element? Brian can talk and walk upright when he's pretending to be more than just a dog. You can find more realism with The Simpsons than with Family Guy.

It's not often you can get revenge on a voice actress who quits your project.

[@joejaysworldofsuperheroes7770]

​@@addambelmont3050 The joke is that Meg was voiced by Lacey Chabert, aka Gretchen Winers from Mean Girls, in the 1999 episodes (Season 1 and the first couple episodes of Season 2) before she left to focus on other projects and her schoolwork. Thus, Mila Kunis took over and has had the part ever since.

Honestly… with how the animators could replicate this type of older art is absolutely amazing to me. VA’s is great but the animation must’ve costed a bit extra

[@choipichiim]

Im pretty sure they used the original VA recordings and just re-drawed the scenes. Ive watched Season 1 so many times if they did re-record the lines its pretty much spot on.

[@Scripture-Man]

I'm almost certain this is just the original animation only enhanced. Otherwise, why keep all the exact same angles? Re-drawing it makes no sense.
