PLM I was at work without internet for the last 5 weeks so I didn't see the episode or had online access till Friday when I came back, so now I'm here to agree with your statement heh
I finally saw this episode and it's easily the best of the season for me, not in terms of story but in terms of laughs and episodes structure.
First of all I loved the cutaway:story ratio in this episode, reminded me of some season 5 stuff, fast and entertaining.
True from-the-heart LOLs I had watching this episode:
1 - Aladdin 5 Jafar answers the Census, sent me laughing so hard I missed what they were talking about in the living room after.
2 - Suggesting that boxing couches have nothing to say to their players during the match except "You gotta punch him more". That was a golden era Family Guy level joke.
3 - "Here's some footage a man with the flu making out of you while you're asleep"
4 - Gymnastic teacher being a sexual evil deviant.. "Somebody should look into this sport", makes sense
5 - Quagmire is totally bummed out by the aliens not doing the anal probe experiments anymore.
6 - Of Paris Lois makes a very obvious observation about something I noticed but never spoke of "Not a lot of colors here but the ones who're black are really black". African Europeans in general are a completely different culturally than the American ones. Sounds racist to a square but the show presented it in a way that did not feel offensive.
7 - The Muppet style site seeing.
8 - Good God I loved Joe's rendition of the American Dad into.
9 - Okay.. I know most of you are upset about the Jagger video being fully included but c'mon it was truly funny watch that video, you can't compare this to the Conway Twitty thing.
I mean that Jagger video is.. "It happened and we let it happen".
10 - "Time to learn math from a black guy I guess".
11 - Still don't quiet get the desert joke but it was visually hilarious.
12 - The Omen bit.
13 - Quagmire tapped to Joe's back.
