Peter Griffin vs Christian Bale

That's one of the only criticisms I have about Family Guy. It seems like if they don't have enough content for 1/2 hour, then they just take some marginal gag and expand it until it's become thoroughly lame. Some examples: Stewie standing next to Lois's bed and screaming "mommy" 30 times. Donny Most rising from the mists. The chicken fights. (Though I do like those, they go on too long.)

I was saying the exact same thing to my g/f last night. It's not that those gags aren't funny. But they're only funny for so long. Then they get lame. Then they get funny again. Then it's just pathetic. Family Guy doesn't know how to pull the plug once it gets funny the second time.

They did that last night with back to back jokes. First Peter/Christian Bale and then Stewie's tour de force music video.
