With no way out of the panic room, Peter decides to tell his family the story of their ancestry by describing a chain of events hide show
I thought this was a great episode of "Family Guy". It wasn't my favorite episode but it was overall great and I really liked it. The robbers rob the Griffins' house so the family goes to the panic room. The problem is that there is no way out of the panic room so Peter decides to tell his family the story of their ancestry by describing a chain of events. Peter telling his story about the ancestry was pretty funny. The odd but funny part in one Peter's ancestry stories was that Peter, Joe, and Quagmire were black while Cleveland is white. Tom Tucker and Diane Simmons' part was very funny. Meg being kidnapped and held hostage at the house was pretty funny as well. I also laughed pretty hard when Meg was being sexual with the robbers and then the robbers would be grossed out. Everything else in this episode was mostly good. My score was just a little low because some of the scenes were time-filler such Peter in Hitler's office and Peter telling the family that he didn't care for "The Godfather". I also didn't like the ending with Meg going to jail and the family didn't even care. Overall, a great episode of "Family Guy". 8.5/10

Another hilarious episode, it's one of those classics that has you laughing at every corner at every minute. Just loved it! You can never get enough of the role reversal of Peter acting like a kid sometimes, such as when he says brushing your teeth is stupid, mannerisms you would only hear from a child. And it followed with another knee slapping scene when Peter whacks Meg because he startled her. And that doesn't even cover the Griffin history and all of the whacky and silly situations, like Moses Griffin and him telling the crowd the ten commandants, prehistoric Griffin and his weird social dynamics, Nate Griffin, etc. Plus there was the part with Meg becoming a sexual predator. Frikkin hilarious episode overall!

After robbers enter into the Griffin house, the family tries to gain safety in Peter's panic room. Trapped with no way out, Peter decides to tell his family the history of their ancestry by narrating a chain of events that describe his family's past. LMAO I loved when Peter hit Meg with the bat. Moses Griffin. Haha! "Jews, ho!" The 10 Commandments. LMAO! They spit on Meg! I loved when Peter was talking over the intercom to Meg and said that they saw her and to use the other mustard, quick. LMAO! Stewie said they better not be using his crayons and mixing them up. LMAO great!

This episode was totally sweet!
The house is being attacked by burglars so Peter and the family go into the attic and enter a metal thing that Peter made (he made it because he saw the movie the butterfly effect.) Peter then starts to tell stories. Peters big bang theory was pretty funny. With God and his college roommate arm-wrestling. pretty funny.
Then they move to the cavemen ages. Peter is trying to sell the wheel but no one wants the wheel. So Brian takes of Cavemen Lois' dress to where she only has a bra and bikini on. The crowd loves it and then wants to buy the wheel. Pretty good stuff there too. The Peter Hitler one was so funny. I was cracking up really hard at that part. Same with the Moses Peter. Those were so funny. They are about to drown, until they get saved by Joe. The burglars are holding sexual harrassment charges on Meg(trying to have sex with one of the burglars.)
In the end, Meg gets arrested and the Griffins dont even care. Also, Peter never cared for the Godfather :)
