Okay, I know its against Da Rules to edit entries, but this guy was getting WAAAAY to freaking emotional about it, attacking Brian like hes a real person! (Seriously, how the hell does someone think the plot of this episode was derived from Jesus?) Besides, all of that was Natter, anyway. and I fixed up the corresponding entries to accomidate that.

* Tropers/LooneyLuver: "New Kidney In Town": After Peter drinks a Red Bull replacement concocted with kerosene after Lois got rid of his supply of the real thing, he has kidney failure and has to go on dialysis treatments to stay alive. He skips an appointment one day, and now he's gonna die if they can't find a donor. [[CreatorsPet Guess who]] offers Peter one of his kidneys. Yes Brian. The episode is such a giant RescuedFromTheScrappyHeap attempt it's sickening. Peter is going to be saved by Brian, who would willing lay down his life to save him. [[{{Jesus}} Hmm, wonder where they got the idea]]? Yep, they tried to make Brian, the worst thing to happen to Atheism since Stalin, into the Jesus of Atheists. Except the Son of [[SaturdayMorningBreakfastCereal Athe]] would still be likable! The rest of the episode has the family talking to Brian like his loss (he's a seven year old dog who smokes and drinks by the by) is gonna be like the death of Mother Teresa..and in the end... it doesn't f$$king matter. A hobo dies and the Doctor says, "Oh, we couldn't use your kidneys anyway because you're a dog".
*** DoMakeSayThink: I stopped watching "Family Guy" some time ago, but to be honest, I'm not a big fan of Mother Teresa (due to her refusal to medicate her patients, allow secular knowledge to reach her patients and fellow nuns, and her habit of [[KickTheDog punishing her patients for doing things she didn't like]]), so this didn't really bother me. That being said, I hated this episode, for reasons that have been brought up before.
**** @/{{Belfagor}}: Replace Stalin with Creator/AynRand in Looney Luver's statement and you can count me in as well. While still thinking that ''Road To The North Pole'' is the worst overall episode, I must say this episode contains the biggest singular DMoS ever in the end, which makes every attempt to save the episode vane, along with turning the doctor into a big {{Jerkass}} after portraying him as sympathetic and professional during the episode.

** Tropers/GreatDefender: I had an issue with this very episode as well, one thing in particular. When Brian is about to get his script published, he gives two men his script. It looks like they are about to call it horrible, but then say that they love it. A relieved Brian notes that he felt like Hitler there (a reference to a gag earlier with the exact same sequence but replace these two guys with one guy and Brian with Hitler). The two get silent and give a FlatWhat. Brian repeats his assertion and asks if either of them is Jewish. The angle shifts to reveal that they both have particularly large noses. Brian immediately apologizes, but the men laugh and assure him that they are actually Italian. Then a caption appears on the screen reading "Italians are not Jews". This bugs me for a number of reasons. First, "I felt like Hitler" is a reference to the Manatee Gag, which Brian had no reason to assume these Italian guys saw. Why would he expect them to understand the "joke"? He just said "I felt like Hitler." Second, Jews were not the only group killed by Nazis. Gypsies, cripples, gays, atheists, and even Christians were also killed. Hitler is universally hated these days and Brian dhould not have immediately thought the men's silence was due to Judaism. Then they just laugh it off like they understood/were messing with Brian the whole time. And lastly, "Italians are not Jews"? Really? This troper happens to be both Jewish and Italian and is certain that this combination cannot be that rare. None of us appreciates our existence being completely denied. Family Guy? A baby with a pacifier called. The kid wants its ""suck"" back!

* Tropers/{{ading}}: The episode where Meg gets a makeover. It's not the height of the show's offensiveness, but it's the point where the CharacterDerailment started to set in. In the episode, two people commit suicide upon seeing how ugly Meg is. She wins a contest to turn an ugly woman into "someone of value to society". So she gets the makeover, and the only noticeable difference afterwards is that she has blonde hair and blue eyelids. Remember, kids, it doesn't matter what else you do, if you have brown hair, you're a mind-blowingly ugly abomination! After Peter sees her with the makeover, he says "I always thought you were beauti-" and then bursts out laughing, unable to say it with a straight face, despite telling her she was beautiful before she got the makeover ''in the same episode''. Meg gets AcquiredSituationalNarcissism from the makeover, and is eventually forced to have it undone. She is actually glad to be "ugly" again, because she feels it was too much work being beautiful. Lois (who up until then had spent the episode trying to comfort her), when she hears this, replies "Not for me, hunny". I don't know what the writers were thinking when they wrote this.
