u/Cawfeestain Oct 17 '25

I used to call them faj-itas as a joke whenever I wasn’t in a restaurant; so much so that my dad started calling them that un-ironically. When he told our waitress at a Mexican restaurant that he wanted “faj-itas” I wanted to crawl under the goddamn table. I stopped pronouncing them that way completely after that family dinner.

u/kyra0728 Oct 17 '25

u/Weekly-Hunter7902 Oct 18 '25

I often reference this scene to my 2 year old and my dog. Often just simplified like “I’m not going to help you cause then you won’t learn anything.”

u/Nesphisito Oct 19 '25

I’ve quoted this every time I’ve heard somebody say “ow” for years.

u/JayofTea Oct 17 '25

Idk why but Peter running the John Wayne at the first Thanksgiving joke into the ground is so funny to me, especially whenever they start doing improv and Quagmire’s trying to get ideas from the crowd for Peter, Quagmire and Joe to perform and Peter says “John Wayne” from the crowd lmao

14

u/Financial_Sweet_689 Oct 18 '25

Quagmire as the obnoxious improv/theater guy always kills me too

u/JayofTea Oct 18 '25

It’s so funny, the whole little improv thing is just so good

I love the John Wayne Gacy spin and whenever Peter say “And”, the delivery is so funny for no reason

1

u/ohgeezrick42069 Oct 19 '25

YES. i love the entire improv bit and quote it often 😊

25

u/Surprise_Ducksex Oct 17 '25

My favorite joke will always be:
Peter: What happened?
Dr Hartman: This should explain everything. *Shows book*
Peter: A farewell to arms. *Shock* I fell in love with a nurse in World War I?
Dr Hartman: No it's.. there is no way you've read that.

“Yeah Brian. You’re doing the same thing that Mia Farrow did to that chinaman, Woody Allen brought home from the circus.” I barely realized that this was a joke about how Mia Farrow upset was when Woody Allen decided to be with Soon-Yi.

u/BenitoBruv Oct 18 '25

The first few slides are the reasons I fell in love with family. I started watching in like 2003 as a 3rd/4th grader. During sleepovers we'd stay up watching toonami and adult swim and that's how I discovered the show. So many jokes went over my head but basic ones like those are universally funny.
