"Lois… I think I broke the funny bone."

A floating, disembodied head of Seth MacFarlane (in his human form) appears in the corner of the screen.

Stewie realizes the truth: "We’ve become a family sitcom where everyone gets along. We’re The Brady Bunch with swears. This is the darkest timeline."

"He ate me, Bob. Just… ate me. No fight. No choreography. I’m traumatized."

Suddenly, the show glitches. The aspect ratio warps. The laugh track screams in reverse. And then… silence.

For the first ten minutes, it’s glorious. Peter makes out with a stoplight. Cleveland flies. Quagmire says something so vile that even Hell files a restraining order. They all laugh.
