Christian Bale reference on Family Guy

Sweeeeeeeeet. Will be interesting to see what sort of reception this gets in secondary sources. Appears to be a clip from this episode. Cirt (talk) 12:07, 14 February 2009 (UTC)

hahahaha, that part was hilarious!!! Carluverdrm2004 (talk) 02:24, 16 February 2009 (UTC)

Additional mentions of this in Los Angeles Times, Gather News. Cirt (talk) 21:01, 16 February 2009 (UTC)

Entertainment Weekly mentioned in comments. Cirt (talk) 21:19, 16 February 2009 (UTC)

News.com.au, The Celebrity Truth, New York Post. Cirt (talk) 06:45, 17 February 2009 (UTC)

Episode title

Comcast listed the title as "Ocean's 3.5", not "Ocean's Three and a Half". —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.197.64.156 (talk) 06:52, 16 February 2009 (UTC)

Since when has Comcast become the Family Guy athority? My Dish Network has gotten episode title wrong before. But on this episode it feature the title as Ocean's Three and a Half. Sarujo (talk) 15:29, 16 February 2009 (UTC)

Secondary sources list the episode title as "Ocean's Three and a Half". Cirt (talk) 00:28, 19 February 2009 (UTC)

Susie's age

Could someone add a full explanation how Susie is already 18? I'm guessing 10 years since Family Guy first premiered in 1999 (when Bonnie was first introduced as being pregnant) but I'm not sure where he's getting the other 8. --Champthom (talk) 12:28, 16 February 2009 (UTC)

That would be more of an exageration on Quagmire and the writers parts. Like saying "The Simpsons have been on the air forever." or "That guy's girlfriends get younger and younger. Soon he'll be dating sperm". Sarujo (talk) 15:25, 16 February 2009 (UTC)

Also Quagmire has expressed the desire to have sex with girls under 18 before under the guise of pretending to mishear their age. 66.231.141.34 (talk) 20:25, 16 February 2009 (UTC)

Past characters

The children in the lemonade stand scence were from the previous episode "Tale's of a third grade nothing" worth mentioning. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Cooly123 (talk • contribs) 20:42, 16 February 2009 (UTC)

Stewie's music video

Does anyone know all or at least some of the music videos being parodied in Stewie's Bryan Adams music video? 207.211.82.6 (talk) 20:52, 16 February 2009 (UTC)

Some of the videos were listed in a previous edit, but then were removed. I have no idea why this was done.99.237.62.225 (talk) 00:01, 17 February 2009 (UTC)

They need sourcing. Sarujo (talk) 00:08, 17 February 2009 (UTC)

Music Video parodies

Here are some

- White Stripes "Fell in Love With a Girl": Lego Stewie

- Police "Wrapped Around Your Finger": Blond Stewie in sunglasses

- "The Wall" (Pink Floyd film) & "Hysteria" by Muse: Stewie destroying the hotel room

- Across the Universe (film): Stewie throwing paint over a canvas

-Fleetwood Mac "Little Lies" Scene of Stewie in the barn walking. Ends with a shot of his gravestone —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.58.106.12 (talk) 22:06, 18 February 2009 (UTC)

Quotes

Regarding , quotes should be in quotation marks, and not italicized. Cirt (talk) 08:56, 18 February 2009 (UTC)

Please also see Misplaced Pages:MOS#Italics_and_quotations. Cirt (talk) 08:58, 18 February 2009 (UTC)

I was aware of the revert before the message in my talk page. Quotes may not be in italics all story titles are. So all instances of story title have to be in italics. Sarujo (talk) 09:10, 18 February 2009 (UTC)

So were just going to turn a blind eye to what I have to say? Sarujo (talk) 09:22, 18 February 2009 (UTC)

It is best not to italicize within quoted text. If by story titles you mean things like books, movies, or other productions that would normally be italicized, generally I defer to the original secondary source - if the phrase was italicized in that secondary source, it could be italicized within the quotation. If not, not. Cirt (talk) 17:37, 18 February 2009 (UTC)

So that's why, hmm. And to think I've doing it wrong all this time. Guess I've got some work cutout for me. Sarujo (talk) 00:13, 19 February 2009 (UTC)

Thanks. Cirt (talk) 00:18, 19 February 2009 (UTC)

WP:LEAD

Please take a moment to read WP:LEAD. Per WP:LEAD: The lead section, lead (sometimes lede), or introduction of a Misplaced Pages article is the section before the table of contents and first heading. The lead serves both as an introduction to the article below and as a short, independent summary of the important aspects of the article's topic. The lead should be able to stand alone as a concise overview of the article. It should establish context, explain why the subject is interesting or notable, and summarize the most important points—including any notable controversies that may exist. Thank you, Cirt (talk) 00:10, 19 February 2009 (UTC)

Yeah, but it's not all that much shorter than the actual plot summary, and the way it's written just doesn't look right. Immblueversion 01:28, 19 February 2009 (UTC)
