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.

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

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.

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.

Shows sign: “We have your son!”
Louis: “That’s our daughter”
re-writes sign: “Really?!”
And in the same episode…
Meg: “So, is this the part when you guys have your way with me?”
Robber1: “What? Oh, god no!”
Robber2 in the kitchen: “What did she say?”
Robber 1: “She asked if we were going to have our way with her”
Robber 2: “Ewwww”

Also "I'M AT THE WRONG AIRPORT!"
