Great A-plot, daft B-plot

Warning: Spoilers
A surprisingly solid episode. The A-plot about Quagmire becoming a gigolo provided a good (but I guess unintentional) commentary about the consequences of labor strikes and the abysses of sex work. Peter turning into the caricature of a pimp is once again a typical Peter move that is always a pleasure to watch. The HBO documentary parody was the icing of the cake.

The subplot concerning Brian and Stewie, however, was watchable at best. Brian being the usual shmuck is nothing new and nothing that will ever be funny. So is Stewie's annoyed response to his behavior, but him going so far to sabotage his employment at a workplace was the biggest let-down of the episode.

Overall a solid episode with a funny A-plot that deserved to be an episode on its own.

Extremely Funny Episode
kristinamc-833828 March 2023
I laughed out loud at least twice a minute. If I made a video of my favorite jokes and bits from this episode it'd probably be 15 minutes long. This is why I hate when people say FG declined after season 7. It changed yes, but it didn't decline aside from seasons 12 and 17. Who watches FG for the plot story and character development?! You watch it because it's funny and for dark humor, and as long as it's funny and you're laughing then it's good, many times great. I actually think seasons 9 through 16 are funnier than seasons 1 through 8 (excluding the awful season 12). After season 16 then it ACTUALLY did decline, but you can still find decent episodes funny enough to watch seasons 18 on. But this episode in particular is one I point to when I hear "Family Guy declined after season 8"

The best from this season! So much lough in this episode

The funniest episode of this season! Especially Peter when play as a pimp. Also stewie has a good line in this episode. I really enjoyed this episode. The series had lost its sense of humor for a long time and it was becoming a permanent issue until this episode aired. There were so many funny scenes in this episode that I really don't know which one to say, the scene where Brian tried to save a woman from drowning was also great. Also, the stewie dialogues were great and devastating as always. Stewie could have had more of a role in this episode, but overall this episode was great and very funny.
