That was the part where I wasn't sure I was watching a real commercial or a parody.

Nothing to see here. Move along.

When I watch this again tomorrow I'll have to check out that Viking Cruise commercial.

Great loving episode. I was also Daded and made to be a giant nerd.

The Shaggy beatdown with the lyrics was amazing, same with exposition Lewis saying "That information wasn't pertinent! That's not how exposition works!"

"Did you expect a WHITE Steve?"

I love that the whole episode was predicated upon an homage to The One.

:wtf: was that Viking commercial? Yeah, if I caught it live I would have assumed it was still part of the show.

The thinking man's cruise? What the christ?

I love when multiverse stories use different animation styles for the different universes, I wish we had gotten a few more of those when the Lewis's were beating up Shaggy. Not sure WHY they were beating him up though; it clearly wasn't him.

They focus on history and tours it low key owns

Also they have really good food

Do NOT do the Mississippi cruise tho, it feels like a lovely franchise where they forgot the key tenets of the viking cruise line

Also the river is low so they can't port right on the city like in Europe and the excursions require long bus rides to get to civilization

I never quite got the pecan sandies thing becoming a pseudo catchphrase despite him saying it only once as a joke in itself, and like two or three times in reference to that one line. It's still funny but I always felt like I'm missing something.

I started on the Hulu episodes I hadn't seen before last night. I know Seth MacFarlane has long been on the record that Stan is his least-favorite role because it's hell on his voice, but jumping from hearing Stan wherever I am in my rewatch (Season 6 or so) to a current episode was jarring. Both Stan and Roger's voices are dramatically different than they were in the past, both due to the gradual shift in character personalities and MacFarlane's voice changing with age, but with Stan especially I could hear the strain in the performance. Give this man some honey tea.

It's just one of those nods to "Remember the early days, when the show was like this? When being an effete, junk food-obsessed and relatively harmless jerk was the extent of who Roger was as a character?" Similar to when Family Guy does a joke playing on "Oh yeah, we thought the baby being a matricidal evil genius would never get old."

It's specifically a reference to the very first episode, which I love they called back to add "the universe where satire works" as an added punchline.

I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

IIRC the pecan sandies joke was repeated when Stan ended up housebound and repeating the same Roger lines.

My cat has a habit of following me around the kitchen for potential crumbs, and I've had Julia Rogerts stuck in my head with that chicken and its "drat clicking" on the wooden floor.

It was part of some ad for it, I remember because I hadn't actually seen the show and wondered what the gently caress a pecan sandie was.

The universe where pecan sandies became Roger's catchphrase/food he mentions in every episode. A real internet meme, that one.

Throwing in the occasional weird line read is such an effective gag. Was watching "The Grounch" yesterday and and had to rewind Francine's "Wuz dis?" in the cold open probably half a dozen times.
