GREAT 👌 KITTY MONK 🐱 🐯 🦁 FAMILY GUY BANNED EPISODE ESSAY.

[@lucapeyrefitte6899]

My favorite scene honestly

[@manyppI2]

That last peter "starter" seems like it'd be enough for a ban, imo, lol

[@katiedoodles]

Yeah you’d think they’d want to ban the episode for THAT alone-🤣💀

[@byronrush9802]

4:21 yeah I've seen that episode of SpongeBob over 10 times on Nickelodeon it's not that they don't air it, it's when they air it most people don't see it

[@rkhoe1105]

It ran on tv for a long time it was just a few years ago they stopped putting it with the other re runs

3:07?

[@KatsiYori-zk5gm]

I had memories of that episode but I don't have full memory of the episode.

[@Oligarchhotshot77]

So I can’t remember the year, but this episode was on Netflix for a very very very short time before FG left Netflix and that’s how I watched “Partial Terms of Endearment”.

[@MrBlack0950]

that might be where i saw it, cause I didn't even know it was banned cause I watched it during a normal session, and I do know I tried to binge the whole show on Netflix a while back kinda neat that I somehow watched it in normal contexts without even knowing it was something banned

[@Oligarchhotshot77]

@@MrBlack0950 I had known about it being banned so that’s why when I saw it pop up on there I immediately watched it because I didn’t know how long it would stay up on there. And it wasn’t very long at all

[@vandavis000]

I seen it too on netflix but now i watch macfarlane shows on hulu. 😂

[@BagOfMagicFood]

I still remember when "When You Wish Upon a Weinstein" was a DVD-only episode until they realized they just needed to change the "killed my lord" line.

[@1slayer959]

27:17 yeah and the soup kitchen is waiting on quagmire too. That line is a straight up lie the episode slapped on to make his rant seem more valid. We've never seen quagmire working at the soup kitchen

[@estebangutierrez160]

Brian did work at a Soup Kitchen when it was revealed Peter didn't like his children.

[@fusionspace175]

I'm just a prom night banned episode, I never got to air, Prom night banned episode, My story can't be heard, now tell me how is that fair? Babababababum

[@BlitzDemonGamer3032]

to think there was another banned episode of Family Guy that dealt with abortion that was released on DVD But it will Never air on television

[@Jay-uo5of]

I saw this episode a lot as a preteen/teen (2014-2020) my friends and I quoted the “god! He knows what turns you on! “Have fun!”” Joke constantly growing up😂

[@eddiemidnite]

Don't watch just those Maude episodes, watch all of them. Incredible show, and who doesn't love Bea Arthur.

[@BrandonScott-mi5pz]

EXCELLENT WORK. KITTY MONK 🐱 🐯 🦁 😊😊😊

[@JunkieSama]

Agreed. I haven't watched the whole show, but from what I have seen it is a great show. And absolutely love Bea Arthur. The Golden Girls is my favorite sitcom.

[@BlitzDemonGamer3032]

I have that very banned episode of Family Guy on DVD and yet it's a good reason why it never aired on television

[@bartvanoosterhout1641]

I’m Dutch and the episode actually aired quite often here. It always stood out to me, simply because it had an unfiltered F bomb in it Once I figured out it was banned in the US, I realised the F bomb was uncensored because the American censors simply never had to censor it for broadcast (On Dutch TV we don’t really censor swear words, and the episodes are aired in English with Dutch subtitles)

[@alexvaughan1013]

Same with British TV. We don't give a f*ck about censoring swear words!! America gets triggered by F-bombs. But has no problem with dropping bombs on multiple countries!

[@raelogan]

Peter's bow-chica-wow-wow noises crack me up, but I also forgot about... THAT one.

[@Tootz3374]

I love you openness about having episodes being cautionary tales or episodes that teach us things or have heavy or sensitive stories

[@samflood5631]

This all could have been avoided if Lois’ college roommate just adopted a kid instead of asking Lois to carry their kid for her.

[@KatsiYori-zk5gm]

Holy shit!!! The memories are coming back!! Me and my older brother watched this episode. I kinda like it. My favourite joke was the Meg gave birth to Stewie one.

[@mullerpotgieter]

The line about being too egotistical to adopt is actually spot on in many situations. There are people who have children to "carry on their legacy". Who think not procreating is some kind of failuire and will call you an "evolutionary dead end". The idea of raising a child that isn't borne from their loins is pure madness

[@mage1439]

It's a massive over-generalization. Yes, those people exist, but they're not the whole stewpot. It's perfectly understandable to, for example, consider the first part of having a newborn part of what they want. There are all kinds of reasons that don't have anything to do with being too egotistical.

[@JoseLopez-gi9sf]

​@@mage1439 I would like to know those reason if you care to elaborate because to me I usually saw it as that egotistical. It isn't a bad thing though. Because some people get further in life being that way. I personally see ego as being something that helps people get what they want. And those with less egos not even try or don't even bother and just complain later about regrets.

[@Llyrically_llama]

​@@JoseLopez-gi9sf adopting can also be terrifying for some people. Imagine that you spend all this time and effort on raising a baby and then a mental or physical predisposition that you couldn't control makes it hell to raise them. Maybe they're crazy. Maybe they have a horrible genetic disorder that you weren't planning on. Maybe they choose to reject you and look for their biological parents when they find out they're adopted. ALL of these horror stories have happened, (to the point that there's horror movies with these plots.) and I don't necessarily think it's selfish to be concerned about them happening. Choosing to take in an unwanted child is more altruistic than having your own, don't get me wrong, but choosing to have your own doesn't have to be completely selfishly motivated either.

[@JoseLopez-gi9sf]

@@Llyrically_llama so what about the many parents that had kids run away from home. Being their biological kids. Or how about the many parents that take care of their down syndrome kids. And still continue to have kids knowing they will continue to have those Children. Personally I don't understand it but I past by a church with a bunch of people crossing the street to attain and so many of them had multiple children like that. And it was many different families. How is the risk of that any different then adopting. If both parents can't have kids it is probably because of a genetic disorder and if they are worried about adopting because of the possibility of genetic disorders wouldn't that be the same thing.

[@Llyrically_llama]

@@JoseLopez-gi9sf ideally, it would be completely random people putting their kids up for adoption. But it isn't. Not in the Western world at least. I'm assuming that you're not naive. You know what type of people are much more likely to put their kids up for adoption. The statistics are there. Adopted children are much more likely to have emotional and behavioral issues than biological children. Period. It doesn't make someone a bad person to choose to avoid that very real risk. Like I said before, people who choose to adopt are making the morally better decision. But people that don't aren't necessarily selfish, worse people.

[@MaxiemumKarnage]

I feel like a better scenario would be Lois being pro-life while Brian, as a boilerplate liberal, tries to gaslight both her and Peter into being pro-choice. It works on Peter which leads to the original scenario but in reverse as this seems pretty out of character for her and Peter. Ending, as they always have to revert to status quo is the baby going up for adoption. Granted it's Family Guy so "LMFAO THE BABBY DIED" would always guranteed be the ending.

[@GhostsGraveyard]

On the subject of the speech at the end, I can't help but wonder if they had originally planned on adding another kid, but had to change it because if no one sees the episode the random new baby wouldn't make any sense

[@daliborjovanovic510]

Definitely not. Family Guy had other episodes that made permanent changes to the status quo, such as killing off secondary characters.

[@GhostsGraveyard]

@@daliborjovanovic510 that’s not what I meant though. I meant they decided to not make the change because if no one watched the episode, they wouldn’t understand WHY the change was made. Or they would have to make up some other explanation for the baby being there.

[@bsanchez3563]

Ziggy.

[@alexvaughan1013]

If you have to limit use of the A-word because of KZbin restrictions, are you allowed to say "feetus yeetus"??

[@sakurakitsunestar]

30:28 there is actually precedent for This case but in China there were grandparents that successfully got ruling to adopt a surrogate grandchild after the bio parents died I'm sure there's probably other cases too. I just remember the China one..

[@CaptDeadpool32]

This episode aired in England for years

[@marrymikeymcbee6832]

ty for the pmdd awareness, I cannot believe my pcp didn't tell me this was a thing.

Even Pingu has a banned episode. The one where Pingu and Pinga pee on the floor. Grow up and stop banning episodes.

[@juliaabernathy7441]

33:35 the cutoff for the pill abortion is a lot sooner than you'd think. Way before she'd start showing

[@rusticpartyeditz]

Pill induced abortion can be taken up to the legal limit for abortions here in the UK (24 weeks but it varies). After 10 weeks it will require hospital admission. It says a lot that this all the clips used for this episode were from the UK. This episode was shown here with no problems.

[@byronrush9802]

11:19 I've seen this episode over 100 times , Max feinstein has also appeared on the show multiple times

[@BlitzDemonGamer3032]

9:17 well at least When You Wish Upon a Weinstein did eventually air on Adult Swim is on DVD from the early seasons of Family Guy

[@ericastones1052]

I'm pro-choice. I think it is down to the woman what she does in her life regarding her body and the fact that some people doesn't understand child raising cost a lot of money from cots to scrollers to clothes to food and more. If a woman isn't ready mentality and finances then she can choose. There are some adults in their 30s not even mature enough to be parents and tragically the child will suffer and there isn't a right decision and the right decision is the choice the woman makes. I will respect the choice of what the woman does with her body.

[@trishlynwilliams6648]

Dexter’s Lab has one that’s on KZbin and he and Deedee split their negative qualities from their positive qualities (Rick and Morty had an episode like that) and their negative versions spend most of the episode cussing

[@Cyadical]

Interested in seeing a drawn together video from you! Been watching that show lately and wasn’t ready to see you mention it of all times

[@miah4817]

I watched that episode of Maude for an elective class i took in high-school where we dove into the social climates of different eras (our's was the 60s) we were studying the differences in what was aired on TV in the late 50s/early 60s compared to the late 60s/early 70s. It was honestly an incredibly interesting class but that episode will always hold a special spot in my mind

[@soranora4597]

I have the episode on DVD. Back when I first watched it I didn't really understand why it was banned, and honestly I think the episode could possibly be unbanned.

[@Salems_Mommy]

I have the dvd as well. I didn’t see it as being any worse than your normal average family guy episode.

[@ProjectAsher1]

Yeah I have it somewhere too on dvd and it never stood out to me as something that could be banned

[@0jeej0]

I mean 12:10 if you can't afford to adopt it wouldn't be a stretch to say you can't afford a biological child either. If you're not in a comfortable position having a child is incredibly irresponsible and it's sad so many people do it because they want a mini them so bad

[@eeliskunttlia649]

i remember when i was young i saw this episode in tv in finland. so it was distributed in europe or at least in finland

Peter Griffin doesn't have to worry about money though fox usually just called the head and handles everything for him

I sometimes felt like I had PMDD, i had very suicidal thoughts before my period. Wasnt sure if it was aspergers mixed with depression mixed with horomones but I was allowed to go on the pill which drastically helped my mood.

I bought the dvd. And was disappointed. I never understood the abortion controversy till I was about 17. Since I was in pre k several people got it done because they needed to or would have died. And that’s that. I understood why wish upon a wienstien was banned at 10, but this one straight up confused me for the longest time

[@FrancisR420]

It's sad the stigma is self perpetuating, people don't talk about it and people don't know about it

[@pessimisticprofessorfarnsw3241]

That's kind of wild. I bought the episode on iTunes that's twice as long and includes a live read.

[@YinYangAngel55]

4:41 you mean Povenmire? Pov-en-mire But yea his songs slap, be it on Family guy, spongebob, or Phineas ferb

[@grizzlydino]

I own this episode on DVD and for some reason feels really illegal to have.

[@buildtherobots]

3:33 fun little aside: Margaret Hamilton was in the same nursing home as my great great aunt in Sonoma, California back in like the early 1960's and the building that was a nursing home then is now a fancy resort surrounded by wineries. It's actually pretty interesting to hear about TV shows and movies making stuff that addresses ending a pregnancy and the couple still staying together. Like the movie Knocked Up (and to some extent Juno) pissed me off for their oddly pro-life messages while positive pro-choice media was pretty underrepresented.

Oh brother

My dad was a pirate and we watched this episode all the time on his computer, it was like 3 years later we found out that episode was banned

is that a *ZIGGY TATTOO!*

[@yukikessho1072]

Read the pmdd symptoms and I was like 'oh....OH-'

[@CallMeFreakFujiko]

I first heard about this episode on a stream. The streamer didn't really watch Family Guy usually, but he did when he was in a hotel and he was weirded out by it. (Something about Quagmire pimping Peter out? Or the other way around? I don't remember.) That somehow turned into a discussion about this episode. Seeing that pimping episode the streamer was like "Oh god. How did they handle the topic of abortion?" and people in the chat who saw it said that it turned out surprisingly well. He was surprised, I was surprised, and a lot of other people were surprised. After that stream I forgot about the episode completely, until now.

[@AluminumFusion22]

- I think "Mid-Life Crustacean" still airs, but with the Panty Raid scene cut, unless things have changed. - "When You Wish Upon a Weinstein" also caught controversy with Disney, who accused the show's writing staff of plagiarizing the tune of "When You Wish Upon a Star", but I think they ultimately dropped the lawsuit because parody is fair use.

[@BennSimonn]

Ziggy!

[@BriceInkling138]

Maybe FOX itself is just too stubborn to air this episode at this point.

[@Jacob-jl3xd]

So I didn't know that this episode was banned sense I seen it a few times when I was younger it's strange

[@stoeptegel4382]

I had no idea this episode was banned. I definitely remember seeing it on TV in the Netherlands on comedy central

[@jackatkinson3682]

They banned Partial Terms of Endearment, but let Screams of Silence air? 🤷🏿‍♂️🤷🏿‍♂️🤷🏿‍♂️

[@TabletsToons-bl9gd]

Also I wanna note that I live in the UK and the episode is also available on the UK version of the season 10 DVD so…

[@rusticpartyeditz]

UK Family Guy dvds are out of sync with the actual seasons. The UK Season 10 DVD actually includes Season 8 and Season 9 episodes. But yes, this episode was released on DVD in the UK with no complaints.

[@TheMadMuttMcNally]

I recall this episode was available on Netflix as the last episode of the season. That’s how I watched it.

2024 and for some reason abortion is still a "hot button" issue. for me its very simple its a woman's body... so her body her choice. and the fact a certain disgraced former president and his party wants to bring woman back to abortion laws from the 1800's is sad and scary.

[@92JazzQueen]

Yeah it's child killing

[@bloodstone1992]

@92JazzQueen except its not a child. Try again. I'm going to take a wild guess and say you also want to force a woman to have a baby even in cases of rape and incest

[@92JazzQueen]

@bloodstone1992 seriously, even doctors consider them human. You guys deny it to justify your stance. Also it's funny you are pro death penalty yet aren't of two minds killing children who had no say in the way they were born you are are harsher on children.

[@bloodstone1992]

@92JazzQueen a fetus is not a child. Even if you are pro-life that doesn't mean your belief is to be forced on other people I hate to break it to you but abortion is not mandatory

[@92JazzQueen]

Especially with everything going on in the U.S as far as reproductive rights, I really appreciate you taking the time to review this episode and give your honest opinion. I also appreciate that you try to hear out both sides of the "pro" arguments because the whole point of free speech is that everyone has the right to their opinions. I may be one side or the other, but I like that you invite people to have an opposing opinion without turning it into an argument or forcing your opinions on others. After all, this is a family guy commentary. Hopefully more people can learn to approach discussions the way you so. I love your commentary videos ❤️

[@willgroody5296]

I think adopting should’ve been talked about a bit as there are many bad issues I listen to a lot of Reddit stories and there’s lots where as soon as become adults many cut off the families who raised them or treat them awfully or where the bio parents expect that their child should ditch the adoptive family as they want them back now all the work of child raising has been done. Stories like: The OP had a cousin who was adopted into the family once she became 18 she became horrid to the adoptive family including saying they stole her expected money to help the bio family. They were at family gathering and OP and her husband are going to try IVF the cousin then had the nerve to ask why not adopt and was disgusted when op said “I’d hate to raise someone and them become and nasty ungrateful brat like you” Another one OP was adoptive mother once they raised her laid for education in college she found her bio family then slowly cut adoptive family off while constantly posting about how great her bio parents were then had the nerve to expect the adoptive family to pay for wedding and then her bio mothers surgery. One where the OP who is 16 was adopted after being dumped with birth certificate her adoptive family is lovely and she’s treat the same as her brothers the family’s bio sons, but then even though was closed adoption they’d used PI to find her and pestered to meet they said they were unmarried Mormons and now they’re ready to take her back so come on, then seems shocked OP wants nothing to do with them. An OP who is a girl in the UK she’s Chinese she was adopted and has come to Reddit asking for help as her adoptive family haven’t been able to give her a definitive answer to her question, she did an ancestor DNA for medical reasons as she was dumped as a baby in an alleyway, she found out she has about 5 sisters all adopted, well they have a brother who’s contacted all them he was kept as the extended family wouldn’t support the parents if they had a girl only a boy, know 20 + years later they’re independent and want to meet all the daughters they dumped without care. OP is adamant no but the sisters she’s found want to meet and have relationship with their parents.

[@truthseeker9249]

I remember that last story. I think Mark Narrations covered it. People are just disgusting. My dream has always been to have a big a*s family of 6 children. 4 bio and 2 adopted. And I would want to adopt my 2 non-bio kids together at the same time so that even if one of them or both of them had trouble adjusting to their new life and/or had a hard time connecting with us, at least the 2 of them would have each other. They're both in the exact same situation and so both know exactly what the other one is going through and can support each other way better than anyone else can. All of that in my own perfect world of course, in the best case scenario of everything going great. But no matter what the situation, if I ever adopted a child I would be scared to death of losing them every day. I'm determined to be the best mother I can be and will be scared to death of not being good enough for my child bio or not. But somehow not being good enough for an adopted child that I CHOSE to BRING INTO my home and family to raise and love and because of that, them running off with their bio family to never see me or care about me again would just gut me. My bio kids would be a lot more stuck with me because I would never abandon them and it would be a lot harder for them to just cut me off completely. But an adoptive kid can either leave you or be taken away from you at the snap of a finger. And that is terrifying.
