Perhaps the most illuminating moment of this all-too-brief bit was Peter’s introduction, describing Wes Anderson: “A guy who makes you feel like you ate a pot brownie and woke up in a greeting card.”.Of note: This is Carrie Fisher’s penultimate episode on “Family Guy.” She voices Angela, Peter’s boss (pictured above). Understanding how animation works - it takes time, people - provides a valid excuse, but it doesn’t change the interpretation. Considering Tarantino is arguably Harvey Weinstein’s most famous collaborator, that the parody of his work has no reference to current events makes it seem extra dated.“Peter, you can tell I’m different because my weapon is different,” spoken by the leader of The Crazy 88s, is a much better rip on QT.

“Peter, I”m standing here because I’m the only recurring Asian character on the series,” Takanawa says, which works as self-skewering move for “Family Guy” than a poke at Tarantino. When Peter shows up for the final fight with his boss, a “Kill Bill” sequence starts up as Angela appears with Trisha Takanawa and the Crazy 88s.

“Someone order a wet-haired black guy to help with your revenge and sometimes speak louder than necessary?” – Cleveland, delivering one of the few race-related jabs at Tarantino, in an episode that needed many more.

The “intermission” - especially in a six-minute “film” - is also an easy but nice touch, especially when Peter pops up to remind the audience that “cinema is an event.”.

The opening title card reads, “Presented in 1,000,000 FILM,” which, while impossible, is still funny for the all CAPS emphasis on “film.”.

Still, there were highlights: Quentin Tarantino It didn’t help itself by cramming all three directors into one episode: The simple story of Peter getting canned, told three times in a row albeit from each auteurs’ varying visions, still felt rushed and rarely could cinephiles glean insightful knowledge of the directors’ oeuvres in six-to-seven minute arcs. (You see, it’s funny because Waltz appears in multiple Tarantino films and is not of American descent.) This is still the show that thinks it’s clever to say, “Here’s Christoph Waltz to fire you in a weird accent,” and then watch as he does just that. “Reservoir Dogs” parodies, homages, and general references have been done to death in the 25 years since its release, and “Family Guy” had nothing new to contribute. Well, for one, a lot of the targets were too easy.

It’s not that the seemingly random spoofs from “the three who did not say no immediately” were unwanted sure, the most recent movie from any of them was Bay’s “Transformers: The Last Knight” - and that was released more than four months ago - but their work is timeless and easily recognizable, so why not spend a random half-hour in Season 16 lampooning creatively graphic violence and unnecessary 180-degree shots? “Three Directors” is introduced by Peter, speaking straight to camera, explaining that they decided to “ask” three Hollywood directors to tell their version of the same story: Peter gets fired. At the end of three back-to-back-to-back parodies of Quentin Tarantino, Wes Anderson, and Michael Bay’s respective works, Peter Griffin asks Lois “which director thing was your favorite?” “Honestly, I didn’t care for the episode,” she says, right before the credits end, production titles pop up, and another episode of “Family Guy” fades into the ether with the nearly 300 others.Īnd if we’re being honest, we’re with Lois.
