Can we give Family Guy it's own page? I notice how much space it takes up here...

scourge of broken links.
Didn't think that this was clear enough that it would work as an example with a broken youtube link.

I'm not sure how to go about editing properly yet so i'll just mention that i think surf ninja the gag with the guy rolling down the stairs needs a serious look at for inclusion in this
Shouldn't this page have an opening quote? I get that someone has probably abused the page opening to post several paragraphs as a "quote", but surely adding one of the short examples from the quote page should deter Edit Wars more than an editor note.

Custom title removed. English grammar rules include that you're not supposed to put a hyphen after "-ly".
Insert title here.
Nevermind. Wiki Magic answered what I had to ask.
Edited by ElectricBoogaloo There's no Part 1, I just thought it was funny at the time.
Whoa! {{Ahoge}}!
I always wondered how you really edit for TV as a fairly EXACT length. Seems like even being 15 sec too long cuts the ad revenues and the network won't like that.
I wonder, does this get pulled because in editing they undershot and were like a minute short, and said "hey, this scene where Sideshow Bob steps on a rake? Let's run just that back and forth for a minute straight, and we can go home early tonight".
Maybe there's a true horror out there, that LOTS of episodes have tentative Overly Long Gags in the script in order to make time IF something else doesn't work out. Like your "let's talk about the Words You Can't Say On TV" bit might get bleeped and won't actually be funny at all. IF that happens, we cut that scene and go with the OLG option elsewhere so it makes time.
I need to vent this; I fucking hate this trope.
I'm sitting at my laptop, reading a funny trope, and laughing at a gag, when I scroll over some blue text, and all of sudden a condecending little "Overly Long Gag" banner pops up. Then, the joke's ruined. It was legitimately funny, but some asshole had to be a Deadpan Snarker, and ruin it. Seriously, people, some jokes are long. Get over it.

RE: the music section; a lot of just looks like opinion. You might personally find In A Gadda Da Vida and 4'33 to be funny, but they weren't joke pieces, so the interpretation of them being 'jokes that go on for too long' is entirely subjective.
It has been asked already, but I'll push for attention: where does that 72 Minutes version of "What Is Love" exist?
Um...why did the pictures get deleted? Doesn't that sort of kill the joke the page has?
