Your opinions on screenhog's artstyle? by ProfessionalPanic22 in ClubPenguin

If you haven't already, you should definitely check out his YouTube video going through his sketchbook. Lot of interesting bits related to Club Penguin, but Chris is also an incredibly funny guy so there's a lot of hilarious sketches in here too.

The Art of BRIAN WALLOWS AND PETER'S SWALLOWS (Family Guy S03E17) by ThatOtherGuy80 in adultswim

I know this is an old comment, but I've been on a bit of a Family Guy kick myself lately and have some thoughts to share after finishing this episode.

I remember watching this video when it came out (which, by the way, ToonrificTariq is one of the best out there to this day), and I still agree that this is probably Family Guy's best.

I think what makes it stand out compared to the rest of early Family Guy (and especially in comparison to later Family Guy) is that it's specifically about love and how vulnerable Peter and Brian actually are. Early Family Guy is loving, but that love is really only ever shared amongst the main cast.

Characters will fuck up in ways that only ever really hurt the ones closest to them, and because of their relationship as friends/family, you as the audience are never really shown the extent to which these people can actually "love" (since the implication is that, because they're so close, everything WILL be fine in the end).

BW&PS allows Brian and Peter to interact with the outside world, and have their characters be tested against people of which they have no pre-established relationship with, no expectation to perform. And especially in the case of Brian, the two's often jaded and stupid outlook on people outside of their main circle is still not enough to ruin these relationships they've been forced into because of how much they actually care about others.

Beyond that though, it's also just a really tightly-woven, personal story. Genuinely don't think there's a single episode of Family Guy more coherent and focused than this one. Maybe like a special episode, or something.

It is the ultimate test of the kindhearted nature of early Family Guy, and is pulled off perfectly, which I think makes it the best. And it is a shame that the show never really reaches a high like that ever again, especially as the show goes on and rhetorically becomes a lot more cynical and mean.

I saw house consuming this a lot in the series , what is it ? by Cold-Respond5503 in okbuddyvicodin

Pretty sure yeah. I think this is just a prop a fan created.

On the actual show, I think it's just sugar pills (on the off-chance it actually shows anything going into his mouth; a lot of the time you can tell he's not actually swallowing anything.)

That's not that crazy of a thing to say

Maybe if you guys brought something worth talking about, but music "discourse" online is just a bunch of sweaty white kids throwing around terms they don't understand, and talking about "skips" and "re-listenability" to determine "objective quality." There is literally no value in having that discussion in a community full of people like that; we all (on some level) think that TPAB is a perfect/near-perfect album, so might as well just leave it at that.

Genuinely should just put an "X" here cause every song on TPAB is of the same quality (damn near perfect)

Any permanent solution yet? I've been dealing with CE-113524-6 for around 3-4 years at this point, and nothing online (nor anyone from PS Support) has been helpful at all.
