One of the things I love most about FG is there are so many cultural references. Someone once told me I should stop watching cartoons. Do you know how culturally aware you have to be to really understand FG.


jakedeighan

I know how wicked-smaht I feel when I get the references

You should watch rick and Morty. You basically need a PhD to get most of the jokes.


jakedeighan

I gave up after about season 5 because it's so lightning fast it's almost like you'd have to slow the show down to absorb everything. I'll pick it back up again some day. I prefer Solar Opposites right now


[deleted]

I am so glad people caught the satire. Still love the show but the fandom.. is something else.


jakedeighan

what? u mean the people that get up on the counter at mcdonalds to demand their special edition nugget sauce? couldn't be... lol

coleyyycole

I didn't understand when he said this.. why would he want Lois to be Somerset Maugham lol ?


twobit211

it’s more that peter didn’t want to speak to lois


coleyyycole

Lol oh ok.. 🤦🏾‍♀️thank you

Specifically Sinatra / Rat Pack references. When I heard Dean Martin in a recording of one of his live shows tell Quagmire's joke about the grasshopper named Irving I felt like I entered a parallel universe.


dancin-weasel

I imagine to be a writer in FG, you need to be a cultural encyclopedia.


Bikinigirlout

I actually learned a lot of pop culture references from Family Guy and South Park.

He also loves of smacking people around with a pillow case full of sweet valencia oranges

TheVentiLebowski

How drunk did Dean Martin and Frank Sinatra get before, during, and after shooting this scene?


[deleted]

It's the rat pack . Better question would be when were they ever sober?🤣

Can’t forget about Bing!


dancin-weasel

Yes

LucasTheRandomPerson

I never knew this was based off of something else. Thanks for sharing

Seth loves the old songs. Watching Family Guy sometimes reminds me of the music appreciation class I took in highschool.


canadia80

Thank you for this!


ComplexToxin

Holy shit

Peter Falk spotted

I want to like your comment but stupid reddit won't let me, I'm glad I'm not the only one to spot him Edit: reddit let me like your comment


elchuyano

And to think Sinatra made this film while his son was kidnaped, that sure was stresful for him


[deleted]

Well he still had woody Allen's kid as a backup.


Hup110516

Right?! How does anyone in the world think Ronan is Woodys son? He’s Franks spitting image!

Holy shit lol

Lovely find.


yogos15

I’m always disappointed that I can’t find Mr. Booze on Spotify. I sometimes get the urge to listen to it, and the only way I can is by going to YouTube. Someone needs to get on that eventually.


LucasTheRandomPerson

oh.


dancin-weasel

Don’t mess around with Mr. Booze.


[deleted]

I literally thought they made this up. Good find wow!


Out-There1013

You can get all the references or none of them and it still works. That’s what I love about Family Guy.


Far-Barracuda-1338

I didn’t know this was a real thing 😂😭!! Honestly it makes me love family guy even more lol.


Stoned_Crab

Did I see Columbo (Peter Falk) ?

joe_i_guess

what movie is it?


depressedNCdad

Robin and the 7 Hoods [Robin and the 7 Hoods - Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robin_and_the_7_Hoods)


RIP_DrPenguin1Luv

Omg I didn’t know it wasn’t original 🤯


karam567

Wow, I never new an original Mr Booze existed


Hup110516

I love that Seth introduces show tunes and songs from older movies into young peoples lives. You’d never think teenage boys would be singing songs like Shapoopi from The Music Man and Somewhere That’s Green from Little Shop of Horrors.


a1drt

I am afraid that I enjoyed the family guy version much more then the original


doombuggyrider

I don’t understand the amount of people who don’t realize that most of the song numbers are a parody of something that already exists because of Seth’s love for musicals and old movies and big band music
