History YMMV / FamilyGuyS13E1TheSimpsonsGuy

* HarsherInHindsight

* SignatureScene: The entire Ernie the giant chicken style fight scene between Homer and Peter in the third act.

* SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome: The chicken fight parody (With Homer in place of the Giant Chicken) in the third act of the episode, and is also arguably the most violent and ridiculous of all the Family Guy chicken fights to date.
** Just an example: The radioactive empowered Peter and Homer's first clash generated a giant donut-shaped fiery wave across Springfield.

* The CutawayGag with Peter getting [[Franchise/SpiderMan J. Jonah Jameson]] a picture of Spider-Man and the fight scene where Homer and Peter are given nuclear powers and with green skin and muscular bods really foreshadows the [[Creator/{{Disney}} The Walt Disney Company]] acquiring these two shows through its purchase of 21st Century Fox three years later.

* InformedWrongness: Homer, when Pawtucket Patriot Ale is revealed to be a copy of Duff beer, is treated as if he's selfish for noticing this and should be rooted against for costing a bunch of families in Quahog to lose their jobs. However, Moe was technically the one who confirmed Pawtucket Patriot Ale is Duff, and the Blue-Haired Lawyer was the one who sued Peter and Homer didn't even press any charges. Aside from that, the Pawtucket Brewery was selling a beer product that wasn't theirs and had no permission from the owner to sell it, which is highly illegal and justifies being shut down. Plus, Homer feels bad for those families that are unemployed and tries to apologize to Peter, and Peter is for some reason blaming Homer for everything.

* AlternateCharacterInterpretation: Was Peter throwing away the saxophone Meg received from Lisa his usual uncaring attitude, or was it because he did not want anything originally coming from The Simpsons after Duff's lawsuit cost him his job?

** Matt Groening had objected when Fox requested a crossover with ''WesternAnimation/TheCritic'', feeling it was nothing more than a ratings stunt that he even took his own name off the episode. Now we have this special which is ironically an hour longer which, even more ironically, Matt had no problem with.

* FanficFuel: It's only used as a one-off gag to lampshade the setup, but you have to admit, a crossover between ''Series/AllInTheFamily'' and ''Series/ModernFamily'' would be pretty hilarious in its own right.

** Bart was paired up with Stewie, while Lisa was paired with Meg. However Bart and Meg share far more in common with each other the either of them have with Stewie and Lisa. Both are the first born child and are abused and neglected by their parents because they resent them for being born. Which has caused them to act out to get some form of attention even if it’s negative and when they do get positive attention it causes a drastic change in personality. For Bart he becomes a much better person while Meg goes full {{Yandere}}. Finally both are shown to be better musicians than Lisa.

* HypeBacklash: Given the enormous amount of fanworks, many fans have demanded a crossover ever since ''Family Guy'' first aired. After the airing of the official crossover, most fans of both shows agree that while there were moments of hilarity, the special did not live up to its potential and that the styles didn't mix as well.

* BrokenBase: Peter's TheReasonYouSuckSpeech. ''The Simpsons'' not being as good as it used to be is not a unique complaint. It's practically a BottomOfTheBarrelJoke. And while few will disagree, or even feel that ''Family Guy'' has been mostly good in the time that their competition has lost steam, to many others, it comes off as the pot calling the kettle black, especially since there were complaints of ''Family Guy'' [[SeasonalRot rotting]] as early as its [[{{Uncanceled}} uncancellation]] while ''The Simpsons'' at least has the excuse of [[LongRunner being on the air for nearly three decades]] for the strain on its creativity.

* BrokenBase:
** Inevitable, but the main source of contention being that it really swings more toward the ''Family Guy'' cast rather than on really focusing on both families.
** Likewise some fans didn't like ''Family Guy''[='=]s brand of humor [[{{Pun}} bleeding]] into ''The Simpsons'' universe.

* DudeNotFunny: In-universe and out. Part of the crossover deal is to show what different standards of BlackComedy both shows have - whereas ''Family Guy'' often relies on [[RefugeInAudacity over-the-top violence]] and overly vulgar humor, ''The Simspons'' has always been somewhat lighthearted by comparison (doesn't mean they don't have dark humor though, look at the ''Treehouse of Horror'' series). The Simpsons family react accordingly to their respective counterparts because of this. Bart is aghast when Stewie makes a rape joke phone call to Moe, and kidnaps all of Bart's enemies; Nelson, Jimbo, Principal Skinner, Sideshow Bob and [[OddNameOut Apu]] (although [[ActuallyPrettyFunny Bart gets a good laugh at Stewie saying]] [[JustForPun he "took Apu"]]). Lisa is creeped out by Meg carving Lisa's name on her arm so she'll always remember her (although, when you know [[ButtMonkey Me]][[TheWoobie g]], it's kind of justifiable).
