21x01 - Oscars Guy

Post by bunniefuu »

It seems today that all you see

Is v*olence in movies and sex on TV

But where are those
good old-fashioned values

On which we used to rely?

Lucky there's a family guy

Lucky there's a man
who positively can do

All the things that make us

Laugh and cry

He's... a... Fam... ily... Guy!

Hi, I'm Peter Griffin.

It's almost Oscar night.

Boy, we've lost so many greats
this year,

including a dead costume designer

who will get spill-over applause

from the photo of Sean Connery
that directly precedes him.

Tonight, we salute
some past Best Picture winners,

How smart?

Like, he can do

Friday, he can maybe get
a corner or two.

So, what's the job?

Fancy creep, eats people.

- Talk to him.
- Got it.

And this is a big deal,
'cause you're a woman.

We're not gonna say it's a big deal,

but everyone watching
will know it's a big deal

'cause of the time period,

even though a man is helping you.

Now run along, toots.
