It's a ...Regarding "OWWW, MY AXLES!"<br /><br />It's a takeoff on the Ghostbuggy's constant hypochondriac moaning: "Ohhh, my aching shock absorbers!" and "Oooh, my overheated radiator!"

One of the most notorious-and most hilarious-sequences is the original Chicken Fight, wherein Peter and a giant chicken named Ernie engage in a violent, destructive fight that rivals anything done by Superman or the Incredible Hulk, all over the absurdly trivial matter of an expired coupon. <br /><br />What makes the gag work-and left me paralyzed with laughter for a good ten minutes-is the sheer cartoon lunacy, not to mention the fact that it drags on well past what one would expect. Most Family Guy cutaway gags are a minute at most, but the Chicken Fights extend for five minutes or more, and to my mind that's what makes them so hilarious, as the viewer is left wondering how far they're going to go with it and how much rampant property damage they're going to cause in the process. <br /><br />2) Filmation's Ghostbusters isn't quite that obscure-if anything, it too is a cult classic among Filmation aficionados, with its own Wiki and fanfiction on Deviantart. <br /><br />Now shows like Kissyfur or the Moondreamers, *those* are obscure. <br /><br />And all of them are still better than anything John Kricfalusi has ever come up with. <br /><br />3) I've got no beef with this point, save that it's probably for the best that we didn't see Chris in his dirty crapped briefs. <br /><br />4) You didn't point it out, so I might as well do it: The "ppppffff" sound at the end of the sequence essentially means that Chris soiled himself while sitting in the Ghost Buggy, as the CWC Wiki so accurately pointed out. <br /><br />5) Part of the problem here too is Chandler's incredibly narcissism. Not only does he name his comic book "company" after himself, he also names the setting of his story after himself and makes himself the Mayor, all of which he apparently seems to think will make people enjoy the story more. He writes out his own main character in favor of little side adventures starring himself, depicts himself as a universally beloved figure (although he comes across more like an Occidental Kim Jong Il), and thinks that people like Megan Schroeder and Mary Lee Walsh would actually get together and conspire to make his life miserable. <br /><br />Page 18 of the comic also has an ad for a video game where players actually control Chandler in his quest to find a sweetheart, fighting villains like Mary Lee Walsh and the Jerkops along the way. <br /><br />Chris is so narcissistic that he actually thinks people would want to play a video game about him. <br /><br />All I'm thinking of when I see that is the sheer amount of Video Game Cruelty Potential that would exist with such a game.<br /><br />It'd be worth the five-buck rental fee, at least.Jaredhttp://www.fanfiction.net/u/1728560/JaredMilne1982noreply@blogger.com
