Family Guy (TV Series) Peter Problems (2014) User Reviews

Quite good episode

[joonas134 · 6/10 · 12 January 2014]

Well.. after I finished watching "Christmas Guy" where Brian returns and everything was back to old ordinary FG. Well.. couple weeks later we got "Peter's Problems" I really don't know how I describe this, but why messed up this episode so disturbing scene, where I was thinking about 20-30 seconds what writers are thinking to kill that whale so bad way.

I mean I love Peter and everything, but that scene was so uninspiring, lazy, nauseating part and just downright disgusting, not funny to me at all. I know the point this is FG, but still way over the line.

Overall, nice episode with really good moments with Peter's troubles and her friends helping him. I hope we got next week, much better episode without noticing any disgusted scenes with animal abuse.

Half of this episode was amazing and funny but other half just a big Meh.

Like the firsts episodes - very different to the actual ones

this was the best FG episode that I've seen in years. And the whale scene was the **best moment** of the whole episode. This episode have many complaints (namely this whale scene), but I guess that it's because FG had change over the years and this episode is like the firsts ones - the oldest ones, the old humor: very politically incorrect, raw, cruel (just remember that Stewie was a devil with no heart, Peter was a jackass, and so on, not like today), and very, very nonsense (almost a "Charlie and the unicorn"). So the actual viewers, who like the actual jokes, probably will feel uncomfortable and/or disturbed by this episode. To me was very hilarious (I can't stop to show the whale scene to my friends). It really reminded me the firsts seasons, not the actual ones. I hope they come back to this path on the next ones.

SpongeBob's absolute worst episodes are NOTHING compared to this.

You think Atlantis SquarePantis was so ungodly compared to what Family Guy has been shoving out these days? Oh no, let me tell you, this is absolutely one of the worst episodes I've ever seen in my life.

It starts off with Peter getting promoted to using a forklift. He uses it to do other tasks like doing a prank with Joe and drinking as much alcohol as possible. But probably one of the biggest disgraces in this episode is the scene where Peter tries to get a beached whale back into the ocean. This lasts probably 2 MINUTES! 2 minutes!! And in that 2 minutes, we are treated to as much gruesome content and boredom as possible! This is why so many people hate Family Guy these days, these moments where they drag on scenes forever (Examples, that whole cool hwhip joke, Carter with the bulldozer, Peter with the bullfrog, etc.) and attempt to annoy the viewers.

After drinking so much though, Peter loses his job and can't do Lois. Okay, well that's just stupid - Peter and Lois really need to lay the whole sex thing off. Anyway, the whole rest of the episode is Peter trying to get an erection (I'm not kidding), and with the help of his friends, it works. He gets his job back and Lois and Peter do it in the grocery store. A very good example of why people are quitting this show.

The Family Guy version of Spobgebob's "House Fancy"

[toondude-rozier844 · 5/10 · 23 March 2015]

This episode is basically the Family Guy equivalent of the SpongeBob episode "House Fancy. This is due to the fact that both episodes are only known for an extremely graphic scene and have gained infamy just from said scene. In House Fancy, it was Squidward getting his toenail brutally ripped off as SpongeBob tries to help him move his couch. In Peter Problems, it's Peter brutally mutilating a beached whale with a forklift. Unlike House Fancy's toenail scene, this scene drags on longer and is EXTREMELY gruesome. Isn't the bloody whale guts just hilarious? Or how about that the scene had the gaul to end on a pun? Why did Peter have to mutilate that whale? Was it relevant to the plot? Not really. Was it in any way funny? HECK NO. For some reason, these demented writers think that dismembering an innocent whale for absolutely no reason is funny. THIS IS NOT FUNNY. PUTTING AN ANIMAL IN MORTAL DANGER OR KILLING THEM IS NOT FUNNY. I didn't think I needed to say this, but apparently I do. This scene is a shining example of why Family Guy has the rep it does. I have to ask, what kind of people are these writers??? To make a scene like this, and think it was funny, these people have some serious issues at hand. This episode wasn't that great to begin with, but this scene made it 10X worse. Not as bad as Fresh Heir or Seashorse Seashell Party, but it is enough to make it in the top 15 worse episodes of the show.
