Family Guy: Encyclopedia Griffin (2015)
Season 13, Episode 11
9/10
An excellent example of FG's latter day greatness.
26 November 2019
One of my very favourite episodes. I love how FG titles some of its episodes after the intro story, leaving you no idea what you're getting.

A very narrative driven episode with minimal asides and cutaways. it's a familiar idea but like a lot of FG's stuff, they are audacious enough to make it the main focus of an episode when other shows would use it as a throw away gag.

Grotesquely amusing as usual, we actually go to a pretty unsettling place with some very real character development but it thankfully doesn't get too heavy and ultimately makes the dark humour feel more fresh as well as making a better story overall.

It delightfully sends up the vintage sitcom vision of relationships and the schmaltzy resolve and is testimony to how FG brings the artistry to low brow humour.
