The Browns are a family-friendly team, but her family often forgets that and goes out on family fun time instead. This can lead to some misunderstandings because Peter always assumes that it’s just another day at the office.
Lois and Peter get creative with the game instructions. They end up renting a movie at Blockbuster and enjoying it on VCR. However, they can’t find any Blockbuster outlet.
Peter checks his phone and that the only Blockbuster in existence is 2980 miles away. Yes, the Griffins are making a road trip. As usual, Peter drags his fam on his excruciatingly long road trip despite their reluctance. On their way, they encounter wild stuff leading Lois to satirically suggest Peter drive into a pond as that will be a quicker death than driving so long.
Stewie and the Griffins go to a Blockbuster store. Stewie sets all the car farts free, and he is quite emotional about it. At the reception counter, Peter finds that the late fee for a movie he rented way back is over $32,419, and he doesn’t have enough to pay. The cashier pulls out a rifle when Peter can’t proceed with the payment. The family escapes, but the employees from the shop are after them – firing guns and issuing threats.
Lois requests Alexa to stop spying. Back at home, Lois and Peter make their final attempt to watch a film the old-school way, but Peter notices he doesn’t have the right adapter cable to connect the VCR. Determined to accomplish the family-fun goal, Lois loads a rifle and says the fam will have to continue their adventure to Florida.
In the last scene, Jeff Bezos asks viewers a question that matters most. He is rich and bald, so which one matters most?
The Episode Review
Family Guy tries to recapture its former impact in this episode, but it is not very well-balanced. It is visible in some scenes, but not so clearly in others.
It’s Peter who does most of the work here, and other characters only appear as sleeping partners. The show might have felt better if we had more of Brian’s humour and Stewie’s nonsense with interjections from other characters. And, we also missed having cutaways!
