true but it sure was one heck of a catchy tune. if you have comcast on demand, you can still catch it on havoc in the music section.

ahhh... what a classic.

SNAP!

Well, what's funny about the Family Guy full stop? I seem to be the only person in the world who thinks it's a complete waste of time.

The element changed was the pinball yes? If you were a child watching that, you may have pictured yourself flying the same course. The 'what if I could do/be that' was a pretty common daydream, I recall.They tapped this daydream- and twisted it into a nightmare for Stewie, as he neither wanted or liked it- and we see it was ironically painful, uncomfortable, and frustrating. Schadenfreude.The writers of this show use this device often; these characters, superimposed onto elements of pop culture find it torture rather than fantasy. Identifying with the character comes naturally, given the context many of us share as memory. However, if you're convinced something isn't funny, nothing anyone says or does will make you laugh about it.

That's right...it was Sesame Street.

I think that some folks might find it amusing because of the nostalgia, because that was about the only thing I got from it. Heck, I wouldn't even say nostalgia...more like simple old familiarity. There's a group of people that know about that "skit" from Sesame Street, and those that are baffled by it and have never laid eyes on it. Those that get the "in joke" are afforded a nonsensical feeling of superiority and solidarity.

Or something.

You're both right!

The funkadelic pinball machine was featured on BOTH "The Electric Company" and "Sesame Street".

Everybody wins!
