That was a GREAT "No they wouldn't...would they? " moment.

yeah thats what I liked about it.

In what way was this a "would they" moment. You knew they wouldn't. Terrible terrible episode. And please post something other than quotes from the show.

A. See my answer to "d" in this thread.

B. I don't think it was terrible. Like most FGs, it had its good moments and its bad.

C. I didn't post the quote, I commented on it.

So Fox would broadcast someone saying "cunt" in a cartoon? I don't think so :)

There was never, ever any doubt they would say something else instead. It's a classic device they use on FG, and have used it since season 2 at least... I know Fox is down with the bush administration, but that would get them pulled off air in an instant, with a hefty fine to boot.

Of course I know they wouldn't say that on TV. Let me state it another way. The humor of misdirection is not only funny when you don't see it coming, but also can be so when it's telegraphed.

In a fraction of a second after the word "Funt" aired, I had the "No they wouldn't...would they?" thought, followed by "Of course not." Then, "Well, how close will they get?"

When the word "shaven" was uttered, I'm thinking "Wow! Pretty close."

Bringing us to the hysterical payoff, "leg."

Hope that clears things up!
