@@xjar215x There’s times when Family Guy uses the long musical numbers in their episodes to take up air time. It’s very common in television.

Other examples are scenes where Peter is doing something repetitive like the one when he’s trying to scoop up the frog etc.

at 53 seconds, Peter "The Original G" Griffin starts to throw away his sledge hammer. We can see that it is roughly 1.5 sledgehammer lengths away from the top of the screen. one frame later (i assume 24fps, so 1/24=0.0417s) only ~half of it is still in picture, so it travelled roughly two sledgehammer lengths during those 0.0417s. The average sledgehammer is around 50cm long, which means the hammer had a velocity of ~23.98m/s or 78.67fps. Given the average weight of 4.5kg, thats a kinetic energy of 1058j. as a comparison, a 9mm bullet has between 359 and 756j. A .50AE like the DEagle uses has 1663-2200j. Peter "The Original G" Griffin yeets a Sledgehammer with the energy of a 9mm round at 10% the speed of sound. for a joke. me personally i wouldnt wanna know how much more he has in himself if he gets serious
