[PatrynXX]

45. Hulu always

but avoiding hulu, it's also over here http://www.imdb.com/video/hulu/vi4215669529/ I'd just go to the second act (after the first ad)

I could check the clip but rather the whole show

[AlbertCat]

53. LOOK! Even the Evil Monkey smokes!

And is better for it.

[sce56]

47. I saw it here just a minute ago

[YOY]

2. I watched this last night.

And the commercials included stupid anti-drug commercials...like the one they mocked in another part of the show.

[Reform]

3. perfect timing for the holiday

I'm sure family guy creators timed this episode
hilarious

[iandhr]

4. Family guy is right on the money

as usual. it was also fuuny (':rofl:')

[bamacrat]

5. Fucking amazing.

Im celebrating right now and that kicked serious ass. But seriously, the push for legalization is beginning to seep into all forms of media and into the psyche of the public.

on edit: Does anyone think that there is also government interest in legalizing weed so they are seeping the truth out in small doses. Slowly changing the narrative on pot, so that when they decide to legalize it, it will look as though they are doing the will of the people. but in reality all they are doing is setting the idea that weed isnt really bad so to create a bit more demand than just the average stoner, so when it is legalized the profits will be so huge there will be nothing to stand in its way. Man Im high to think all that is happening.

[Beam Me Up]

34. You may be high but you're not wrong.

What is keeping marijuana illegal? It isn't consumer safety, we know that. So it is either politics or economics or both. When the underlying reasons change, the laws will change accordingly. Maybe they want to get us all stoned so we don't go totally ballistic on them as they continue to plunder the economy and continue turning us into a banana republic.

[Phoonzang]

6. The only good (and funny) part of that episode. nt

[Divine Discontent]

13. ty for the show synopsis

I've noticed a strong dip in quality this year. there's usually one funny thing per show. this must be this one's. I'm sure this got people upset, lol. I'm not a smoker anymore, but even if I feel people should be responsible with their weed and won't be, it still should be legal, one of the reasons is, I believe it not being legal encourages the desire to try other illegal drugs thinking they're all like weed, which they're not - the others strongly need to stay illegal.

[mikelgb]

7. perfect!

love the bongophone

[Fendius]

8. Yeah they did have anti drug commercials during breaks ,)

Watched the show last night and it was(and always is) perfectly hilarious.. If you dont watch this show your missing out on a ton of fun... Right at the end they had an ad for not smoking the weed, wasted dollars of our money if you ask me....

[IntravenousDemilo]

24. In Canada the show is simulcast on the Global network.

And for the sake of advertising, on the US channel the US feed is also replaced by the Canadian one, as a value-added feature for Canadian advertisers.

Anyway, unlike on Fox, there were no anti-drug ads in the Global telecast, and I kind of wish there had been, because that kind of irony would have been damn funny.

[Turborama]

9. That was excellent!!

Thanks a lot for the share, Villager

:kick: & R

[villager]

10. You are welcome!

;-)

[progressoid]

11. Stewie IS the Music Man!

That was a toe-tapper!

[targetpractice]

32. That tune was from Chitty Chitty Bang Bang n/t

[progressoid]

33. That's what happens when you only get a couple hours sleep.

Can't tell Music Man from Chitty Chitty!

Actually, I don't think I've seen Chitty Chitty Bang Bang since I was a kid My kids tell me that was a looong time ago.

[Hissyspit]

35. "Me Ol' Bam Boo" sung by Dick Van Dyke

[Taverner]

12. Happy 420!!!!!

[IntravenousDemilo]

20. Just 15 minutes to the big celebration! n/m

[asdjrocky]

14. Happy 420 everyone! nt

[russian33]

15. This video is not available in your country.

i get that if i try clicking on youtube link and going to their site directly...loool that's new

[villager]

16. hmmm.....

Now to find it somewhere else online...

And they wonder what keeps bit torrents thriving?

[sakabatou]

19. Yeah, youtube has been less and less user-friendly

And more and more corporate-friendly.

[onehandle]

17. The message seems to be that losers, miscreants, and just plain stupid people should have weed...

...to distract them from their vices.

Is that the message that pot boosters want out there?

[90-percent]

18. just pain stupid????

this pot legalization was instigated by Brian, who is arguably the smartest member of the Griffin family.

Although I'm sure there are those here who consider Stewie smarter....

-90% Jimmy

[onehandle]

27. I'm not talking about the entire episode, but the song scene itself.

Doesn't exactly spin anything positive about pot.

[No More Bushbots]

28. I doubt if the majority of the Family Guy target market

Is anti-pot, or needs to be influenced to support marijuana legalization.
Feel free to take this time to iron the knots out of your knickers.

[Occulus]

36. He shits on almost every thread involving pot

He's repeatedly said in the past that legalization "will not ever happen", even as it's outright decriminalized in MA and legalized in many other states (including mine) for medical use.

IOW, onehandle, on this issue, is completely full of it.

[No More Bushbots]

57. I think we should be honored that Bill Bennett takes time out of his busy schedule

To post anti-pot messages at DU.

[Joe the Liberal]

21. "Embedding disabled by request".........

That's all that pops up :(

[IntravenousDemilo]

22. Wow, I went to YouTube and "this video is not available in your country" is what I got.

And someone wouldn't allow embedding here on DU. Good thing I watched it last night.

What's the song this was based on? I'm thinking it was something Disney, or maybe the musical "Half a Sixpence". The tune sounds damned familiar, whatever it is.

[villager]

23. you're right... hmmm....

wonder if it's elsewhere online...?

[IntravenousDemilo]

29. Thanks for the link below, Villager.

Because of that, I was able to find out that the original song is "Me Ol' Bamboo" from Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.

They may have to rename the original "Me Ol' BAMBU" after the rolling papers!

Oops, it's now 4:20 pm. Do you know where your marijuana is?

[Night_Nurse]

26. Me too... WTF?? nt

[villager]

25. alternate link here while Youtube sorts things out:

30. Cheers!

[Beam Me Up]

37. Cute. A TAD homophobic but cute. Happy 420 all! n/t

[ChiciB1]

38. Thanks... I NEEDED That!! The Song, The Laugh AND The PROMOTION!!

Why not??? I no longer "toke" because of the "munchies" and I can't stand extra weight, but LEGALIZE, LEGALIZE, LEGALIZE!!!

And perhaps let people grow their own too!!!

[Taverner]

41. You can have the munchies and still lose weight

Only keep your house stocked with carrot sticks

[ChiciB1]

56. And Then I Will Turn ORANGE!!! However, I DO Love My Veggies, But

having smoked in the past, my habits that evolved seemed to want "something" and then "something else" never really getting satisfied by just whatever it was I ate. I have OCD and "weight control" is a major issue for me. I have 5 sisters and all but one is overweight and I work VERY hard to keep my weight under 125! I haven't completely sworn off, but I do KNOW if I give in I had better be out somewhere that food isn't readily available!

I have some very interesting "tales" I could tell, ONE I will share. I LOVE yogurt and buy it in the LARGE containers. I remember one night after eating this and that, I decided I wanted yogurt. I took the WHOLE container into bed with me while I watched TV. As you might have guessed, I fell asleep and woke up about 3 hours later in the middle of the night COVERED with Vanilla yogurt. My husband wasn't a happy camper either!

But then you know how "funny" things can get about these things, but it would have been better had I found out in the morning rather than the middle of the night!

[suede1]

39. Watched it last night and today on DU. So glad they did this.

[MrMickeysMom]

48. Thanks, towlie!

It always amazes me how small meaningless rituals can become icons for the nation.

We need to admit we've lost the war on "drugs".

[Dukkha]

44. Ironically abovetheinfluence.com was a sponsor to that episode

and they made fun of them in that episode

[Ladyhawk]

46. I watched it three or four times today. Good stuff!

You can watch the whole show at hulu.com

[and-justice-for-all]

51. Fuck Fox.

They claimed copyright on a 4 minute clip. But everything is better with a bag o weed

[Soylent Brice]

54. the best part is when brian explained why hemp was really illegal,

ranting about the logging/paper mill industry. that was awesome.

[Wetzelbill]

55. It makes sense, Brian was a Kucinich supporter after all.

[rollingrock]

58. This is the greatest thing I have ever seen!

and even better when you're high on weed. :evilgrin:
