My favorite Family Guy episode was PTV.

[@mlggamer5296]

Stewie kills Lois/Lois Kills Stewie

[@coryakabueze4541]

Family guy Star Wars parody episodes are my favorite

[@danknhshinki73]

I thought "Life of Brian" was the worst Family Guy episode.

[@mr.decencykeepinitreal6348]

Both “Stewie kills Lois” and “Lois kills Stewie” were pretty good episodes.

[@mlggamer5296]

Lois Griffin: “Hello? Who ever you are, thank you!” Stewie Griffin: “If anyone’s gonna take that bitch down, it’s gonna be me.” Love that scene.

[@biosavat9475]

[@biosavat9475]

Road to series is one of the best

[@ToniWellons]

Yes

[@justapeacefulmanwhosbornin7291]

“PTV” and “Brian & Stewie” are also two of my 20 favorite episodes. 😁

[@mr.decencykeepinitreal6348]

“Peterminator.” I really like that ‘Terminator’ parody episode. 👍

[@kiritoswords6479]

It showed Stewie trying to kill Lois again. Like in the old seasons when he was more evil. I like that, evil Stewie is best Stewie.

[@TheLauren800]

loved the Rick and Morty joke! and agree good episode

[@maiconsilva4205]

👍

[@globbyakaweirdjellyguy954]

“And Then There Were Fewer” is probably my favorite because it had murder, mystery, comedy, and of course Stewie’s final line in the episode.😉😂

[@justinnyugen7015]

I always watch it when it's on TV, regardless if it's mid episode

i love how bill clinton is shirtless when his picture was showed here 11:11 a reference to e peterbus unum

[@alexweeks3359]

Missed a few of my favourites… ‘Brian goes back to college’, ‘Petergeist’ and my all time favourite ‘Lets go to the hop’. The sheer number of 70s and 80s references they managed to squeeze into this episode alone should put it on the list. You listed some great episodes but these three are absolute classics.

[@joermnyc]

“Stewie, head for Meg’s butt!” “… HAVE YOU LOST YOUR MIND?!”

[@ETHAN-is3li]

Petergiest is one of my Top 5 Family Guy Episodes

[@SkittyGirl300]

The Road to the Multiverse was one of my faves. My others are Peter's Two Dad, To Live and Die in Dixie, Wasted Talent, and Screw the Pooch.

[@BigFella117]

“Road To The North Pole” was one of my favorite episodes, and is the best “Road To” episode

[@lillianrogers75]

I watch that episode every Christmas because I love it so much. Actually, Family Guy has a lot of great Christmas episodes that I never get tired of watching.

[@BigFella117]

[@idontknow08]

Imo I think road to the multiverse is better

[@olleselin]

"Stewie kills Lois/Lois kills Stewie" is my personal favourite

[@johnroebetvista1992]

I'm so glad "Brain and Stewie" is in this list... Probably an underrated episode compared to the other episodes just because it doesn't heavily focus on comedy

[@art.of.verser]

My three favorite episodes: Patriot Games- Tom Brady could not have been funnier. "Damnit, Griffin! I said no showboating!" Meet the Quagmires- a wonderfully strange yet hilarious Back to the Future homage/parody I have ever seen in my life! Death is a B*tch- Norm Macdonald voicing Death is a laugh riot as well as endearing. I don't think anyone will ever forget it. R.I.P. Norm ❤️

[@adammoldover8769]

iirc that's actually Tom doing his own voice too

80: Don’t know if this happened to anyone but I remember a long time ago that a family guy dvd wasn’t wrapped or under the tree on Christmas. It was strange

[@jacobquackenbush2981]

Meet the quagmires is such a memorable episode, and who can forget blue harvest

[@dylanbaker4648]

Brian Wallows and Peter Swallows is a massively underated episode.

[@baggy5737]

Yes!

[@NeroLeMorte]

Best episode

[@olvialee7221]

78: I also love Grimm Job. A different take on Cinderella, Little Red Riding Hood and Jack and the Beanstalk. Although I would like to see them do Snow White & The Seven Dwarfs, Peter Pan, Alice in Wonderland and Beauty and the Beast

[@Khadim.Alreda]

The best channel in nominating the best series and movies.

[@nickmathiason2917]

Brian and Stewie being ahead of petarded is crazy lol it’s a good episode but the jokes and cutaways in petarded are some of the best in the series.

[@olvialee7221]

113: What’s next? A huge crossover of Family Guy, The Simpsons, American Dad, The Cleveland Show, Bob’s Burgers, Futurama, South Park, Rick & Morty and Big Mouth?????

[@icefire2104]

8:57 that way of saying Death is a Bitch got me laughing.

[@robertharrington703]

Personally would've put "And Then There Were Fewer" as number 1 but the rest is a good list for once

[@nicholasmorsovillo2752]

The one part that still makes me laugh from the episode 'The Simpsons Guy' was the fight between Peter and Homer it was like all the fights between Peter and the Giant Chicken.

[@knightwolf9863]

I honestly didn’t expect #14 to be “I Dream of Jesus”, so hahaha. But you know what really grinds my gears? iTunes won’t release the uncensored version of this episode to the masses, but they’ll release said episode on DVD along with the uncensored episodes from Season 7? WTF?!! I cracked up on the floor after watching Peter and Jesus sing their famous duet, and they won’t allow iTunes to release that episode?

[@VampireA1056]

This video shows Family Guy isn't complete garbage.

[@olvialee7221]

110: I was beyond excited for The Simpsons Guy! Seeing Stewie with Bart, Meg Griffin with Lisa and Homer and Peter fight is definitely my favorite!!

[@olvialee7221]

Simpsons Guy is my favorite episode in ALL of Family Guy

[@mlggamer5296]

Yes I remember seeing this one where he beats up Brian because he failed to pay up cuz he lost the bet. I knew Stevie was Savage but I didn't realize he crossed that territory

[@TheLauren800]

I love the road to the multi verse...I thought I was one of the only ones so glad to see i'm not. also and then there were fewer two I re-watch the most

[@LvBMusik]

“Wasted Talent” is, in my opinion, the best episode!

[@olvialee7221]

Same here!

[@DonCDXX]

Definitely the best.

[@BenE8844]

The bathroom scene in Petarded was 😂. That woman sure is…WILLING to HELP Peter!

[@nicholasmorsovillo2752]

It was actually Brian and Stewie who destroyed the Surfin Bird record because they were getting tired of hearing Peter constantly play day and night including emptying the families bank account to do a commercial about the Surfin Bird music and after seeing that episode I instantly hated it myself I mean Surfin Bird had to be one of the most annoying songs written EVER.

[@OH_MY_DOGGG]

Brian Does Hollywood is also part of the The Thin White Line timeline although its certainly just a way to accelerate the plot of Brian Does Hollywood. Its linked by that scene where Stewie spits in Brians face as he's catching the taxicab.

[@thedevilsrockstxr2309]

It actually makes sense tht Stewie doesn't really care about killing Lois anymore bcuz the simulation showed him he fail

[@Zaya38ihjt]

The "where's my money" episode needs to be top 5 😭

‘Griffin Family go to Deep South’ is a great episode. Makes you happy & sad in a way that Disney does. Great episode.
