Brian and Stewie travel back in time to nazi Germany?

[CaptainWacky]

It was so stupid it was mildly amusing and Brian Blessed was a guest voice. WHO SAYS FAMILY GUY IS WORTHLESS!?!?! It's just mostly worthless.

 

[Fuddlemiff]

Didn't know Brian Blessed was much known in the US.

They also do jokes just for the UK, I doubt many people in america would have got the Terrence Trent Darby joke.

 

[Eggs Mayonnaise]

Terence Trent Darby was a hit over here too, in the late 80s. We got that one.

I don't think I would ever go to a London Sissynannys football game, though.

 

[The Dork Lord]

Yeah I remember Wishing Well!

What always struck me as funny was that The Dandy Warhols (a Portland band i saw live just before they had anything but local radio play) were bigger in England than they ever were here.

 

[Eggs Mayonnaise]

I love the Dandy Warhols! And I think their documentary DIG! explains why they almost, but didn't quite hit the bigtime in the US.

 

[CaptainWacky]

Well Flash Gordon is quite well known in the US, isn't it? And that's what Blessed was referencing.

 

[Mentalist]

Yah, I was going to mention Flash Gordon. BB is a pretty accomplished actor so while not being well known over there he would have some visibility and Family Guy likes obscure references anyway.

 

[Eggs Mayonnaise]

I have all the Buster Crabbe Flash Gordon serials on DVD.

But I haven't seen the Family Guy episode in a while so I forgot what was said LOL.

 

[CaptainWacky]

If youtube just had clips of EVERYTHING like they should then it would be easier!

 

[Eggs Mayonnaise]

Or if Hulu were available outside North America...

 

[CaptainWacky]

OR THAT

 

[whisky]

Seth McFarlan has said in the commentaries on the DVD that sometimes the jokes are so obscure there might only be four people in the world would get it.

 

[CaptainWacky]

Has he ever admitted that maybe some episodes aren't very good and maybe they shouldn't have Conway Twitty playing for three minutes?
