YMMV / Family Guy S6E8: "McStroke"

Go To

  • Hilarious in Hindsight: After growing a mustache, Peter goes into a deli and thinks he can speak Italian because he has a mustache now, with said "Italian" being nothing but "Babadabodee, beeboopadanbdabada". In a later episode, Peter would travel to Italy, and the title of the episode is derived from Peter's "Italian" in this episode.
  • Strawman Has a Point: Only at one point does anyone (Brian) point out that Peter's stroke was his own fault for eating 30 hamburgers in one sitting, and he ends up helping Peter sue McBurgertown anyway.
  • Unintentionally Unsympathetic: The story tries to make you feel bad about Peter having a stroke and then having to struggle with every day tasks afterwards, but you might be more likely to just think of how this only happened because he gorged himself on 30 hamburgers in one sitting and brazenly ignored Brian's warnings. Even the lead-up to him eating all those burgers in the first place (being offered a lifetime's supply of burgers after being mistaken for a fireman due to him having a mustache, and saving the restaurant owner from the fire) was the result of him deciding to grow a mustache after stealing and reading through his neighbors' mail (which he had no business doing).
