Right, I don't want to get into my feelings of the show itself, as that'll start a big flame war, but I really want to discuss the most recent, 150th episode special.
First of all, why celebrate this number? Usually 100 multiple to celebrate with shows, 1000 if it's like a daily show. But 150 is just so odd, like someone said "Aw man, this episode is too long, and I can't cut it down! Oh, wait! We can just do a special for the... what number is coming up? Right, 150th episode! We'll have some time to fill, so let's just throw in some musical numbers at the end."
There were some musical specials, some aired, some that were cut after the main show, but they just served as padding to round out the hour, so I ignored those.
All in all, it was a stupid special. It was a stupid thing to celebrate only done to merit an hour runtime, it was disgusting, pointless, not funny, and I really am sick of this whole "comedy duo" of Brian and Stewie.
So, tell me what you think of the episode. Did you like it, did you hate it, do you agree with me, do you disagree? I don't want this to become a flame war, this was just something I have to talk about because it bugged me so much.
Also, in case anyone is wondering why I watched the whole episode when I clearly wasn't enjoying it, I don't know. I guess just because I wanted to see if it could possibly get worse. To my surprise, it didn't, but it certainly didn't get any better.

Now the episode itself was disgusting, annoying, and pointless. It was that awkward kind of comedy you'd find in The Office, only this time, it's so awkward that it kills any possible comedy. Basically, Brian and Stewie get locked into a Bank Vault after hours on Saturday, so much spend all night Saturday and all day Sunday in this vault. But Stewie poops himself within moments of the door closing, so the audience has to watch with their mouths ajar as Brian eats Stewie's Diaper clean, eats a pile of vomit that we have to watch Stewie produce while Brian ate, and then licks Stewie's ass clean. Really, I don't want to watch that. I really don't. It's not funny, it's not clever, it's not interesting, it's just really, REALLY disgusting.
After that, we need to watch Stewie and Brian get drunk off of some Scotch he has in his safe box. Yeah, what a nice message, a baby drinking. Then, Stewie has Brian pierce his ear. Why? What purpose does it serve? None. Is it funny? No. Would you find it interesting to watch? Of course not. So, why the hell are we watching this? In fact, it's disturbing that this is all happening to a baby.
There are a few other things that happen, like Stewie revealing that he needs to return a $3000 sweater he bought before the end of the day or else he couldn't return it, Stewie wasting the one phone call his cell phone had the power for to ask for an extension on the return for his sweater, Brian and Stewie getting mad at each other, having a drunken arguement, mentioning The Dog Whisperer, and some other crap before having a "heartfelt" moment when Brian reveals that he has a revolver in his Safe Box in case he wanted to kill himself, and then Stewie telling Brian that he loves him, and all that crap.
