    ... is the word...

    My brothers and I watched this episode last night and kept on laughing. I was wondering where "bird is the word" joke was heading and it paid off. We were laughing more often than not. The only joke I thought that was off was the "deal" Peter struck with the dude from the 50's diner for the LP. Apart from that it was pretty cool episode. Stewie was underused (again) but what gets us every time are the one-liners that are thrown in (a dog and a baby bought all 48 copies) and how they reference old throw-backs (Peter doing a detective rant to the family about the record).

    Get episode, best one of this season so far...

    Absolutely & ridiculously hysterical!

    -I've been watching Family Guy for a few years now and have seen a good number of early and new episodes and I had previously thought that Tan Aquatic and Barely Legal were the funniest episodes and then I saw "I dreamed of Jesus" the other night on Cartoon Network at like 3am. Holy crap...Some may think it was completely stupid or annoying, but I will tell you this I have never laughed so hard at a Family Guy episode in my life. I actually had to turn it off for a minute because I was afraid of waking up my roommates from laughing loud. It is that ridiculous. I think it was the sheer genius stupidity of the concept of simple minded Peter becoming obsessed with and incredibly insipid song and the way he prefaces his rendition of it each time in the episode. I highly recommend this episode to anyone who loves Family Guy and wants to laugh uncontrollably at the hilariously ridiculous yet lovable idiocy that is Peter Griffin. And...Haven't you heard? Bird is the word.

    Been better, Guy

    I thought Love Blactually was pretty funny, but this one was a stinker. I for one think we need more Brian, and more Stewie. The Surfin' Bird shtick was lame, at best. And FG REALLY needs to take a breather on the Jesus. Like, no Jesus for the whole season, seriously. It's overdone. The Jesus-Peter dynamic felt tired, a Jesus-Brian thing or even Jesus-Stewie would be far more interesting. Heck you did better in American Dad's "Tears of a Clooney" with Stan-Clooney. Let's have more current stuff like the election(SARAH PALIN), America's image in the world, reality shows like the hills, ya know...new stuff. I liked the Office Space style destruction but it was overlong, and again, it's been done guys.

    Great episode!!!

    This is one of the best episodes in history, at the end of the episode you are going to cry of how much you're tired of listening to the song

    One of the worst episodes but underrated

    I dream of Jesus was the latest episode of Family Guy.I decided to review this because a lot of people seem to hate it.I would say Family Guy is my second favorite TV show.It can be very funny, creative and original.This episode was not very great but it was not the worst episode ever like most people are saying.Peter basically hears the song "Surfin Bird" by the Trashmen, gets the record and plays it 24/7.It annoys Brian and Stewie and in a spoof of Office Space, the break the record.Peter goes around looking for another one and finds Jesus.After befriending him, Peter decides to make him famous.He does but Jesus is living an immature celebrity lifestyle and decides to go back to heaven.Now, this episode did not have much of a plot, but there were a few bits in the episode where I was laughing out loud! Office Space is one of my favorite movies, and the spoof was hilarious and interesting to watch, even though it is almost the same as the movie.The song "Surfin Bird" might have annoyed people with it's constant play throughout the episode.It was the first time I heard the song(I have seen Platoon and Full Metal Jacket but do not remember this song playing) and now I can't get it out of my head! So, yeah it's one of the worst episodes, but it does have some funny and great moments!

    • Trivia
      The scene where Brian and Stewie smash the record is a parody of the film 35 heures, c'est déjà trop (1999) where 3 co-workers destroy a printer that continuously malfunctions.

      It makes no sense for Lois to simply accept that Peter blows all their savings on a silly TV ad and just moves on with zero consequences.
    • Quotes

      Peter Griffin: Can you believe the way Jesus is treating me? I thought he was my friend.

      Lois Griffin: Look. Fame and success do crazy things to people, Peter. I'm sure deep down he's the same old Jesus. He just needs to figure that out in his own way.

      Peter Griffin: Maybe, but one things for sure, Lois. None of this wouldn't have happened if somebody hadn't stolen my fucking Surfin' Bird record!
