Peter Griffin Sings The Who's Baba O'riley

I usually don't like drawn out gags, especially family guy's, but something about this particular one really made me giggle. The abrubt start of the song after she talks, Peter's silence, the admition, and the randomness.

[@jrc01718]

A newer episode aired on TV not too long ago, and one cutaway, I swear to god, was just the first almost five minutes of some old TV show called The Hudson Brothers. The context was because someone briefly referred to these "Hudson Brothers", then they just literally played the first few minutes of an episode of this show to "explain" the reference. I love Family Guy, but the writing is getting so lazy and they aren't even trying to hide it.

[@diamondynamite]

[@ninjapants7688]

People who just do a passing "This is a space filler/long gag" because their attention span is now McDonalds drive-thru/Tik Tok level. Let me explain it to you as there are multiple jokes in this. - Baba O'Riley when it was released in the day was criticised for having such a long introduction before the first lyrics. - Peter took up a hobby, in this case random spontaneous karaoke - Lois, wanting to get an answer out of Peter in regards to his negligence of duties. - Peter intentionally responds to Lois with Baba O'Riley, knowing it is a long song. - It takes Peter a long time to respond and get to the point, just like the song which is intentional. - This can either be used to test Lois's patience, or to distract Lois enough to come up with an excuse, which he did. Whichever way is funny. People never look at the bigger picture or understand the context better.
