Talk:Stewie Griffin: The Untold Story

message: I don't think these are actually product placements as the phrase is normally used, it seems obvious to me they are either co-incidental (product placement for a Galaga machine? It's far too niche), parody (e.g. the Head and Shoulders) or negative portrayal (RC Cola, the Band-Aid, from the wikipedia article "The product price is not mentioned nor are any negative features or comparisons to similar products"). For these reasons I have retitled the section 'Consumer products'. Mallocks 20:10, 12 November 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Seth MacFarland actually states on the DVD commentary that the product placements are not intentional - they're only there for gags. Like the "Dr. Pepper/RC Cola" mirage joke. SkittlzAnKomboz 02:22, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

"The dvd was released on September 27th 2005, The same day for the Robots (film) DVD. And "Stewie Griffin" was No.1 on DVD sales in stores for a week. It's release was so great, Family Guy continued to entertain viewers and audiences."

thread_title: Good article failure

message: Why does Ron Jones (composer) redirect to stewie griffin, the untold story?
:Because the original substub just said Ron Jones composed the music for this, so some thoughtless redirect lover redirected it here. I beefed up the article to a stub, so hopefully it will get expanded as its subject merits. ShutterBugTrekker 21:43, 14 July 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Ron Jones (composer)

message: The night after the televised version aired, I synchronized the playback on my TiVo to the playback on my laptop (yeah, I have no life), and used that technique to compile my own list of the discrepancies.  There is a lot of overlap with the list on the Wiki page, and I noticed it caught a few that I missed, but I believe mine is more complete.  
However, my list is not nearly up to Wikipedia standards, and plus that it's going to be a big PITA to merge the two and reconcile differences.  I'll probably pick at it when I get bored, but if anybody's feeling ambitious, here is my (unrevised and typo-ridden) list:
* The entire opening segment where they go to the screening and a
drunk Lois screams "F*CK YEAH!" is cut.  Duh.
* The movie-style opening credits are cut.
EPISODE 1:
* The opening scene is missing two bits:  Chris trying to get Lois'
attention for a dive, and Quagmire emerging from the shed with a
lifeguard around his arm proclaiming, "I guess I can't go swimming for
an hour."  It picks up when Peter ask Stewie if he wants to learn how
to swim.
* In Lackluster video, Peter describes the movies he likes to rent as,
"The kind of movies that are, uh, X-rated pornos and full nude people,
ummm, uh, fornicate for the camera and stuff comes out, get my
meaning?"  Fox cut the "and stuff comes out" line.
* There is a slight difference in timing in the transition to the
non-sequitur about Ghandi as a stand-up comic (no content difference,
just timing)
* After the Ghandi thing, a scene was cut where the toddler's swimming
meet is announced, and then Stewie observes that Brad (the kid who is
showing him up in swimming lessons) "on his back in the water" looks
like "one of [Stewie's] stools!"
* At the end of the dinner table conversation, another non-sequitur
was deleted that featured what would happen if Peter was the husband
on Roseanne (he can't understand her unintelligible speech)
* After Brian catches Stewie shaving his balls, another non-sequitur
is cut:  Stewie observes that his "coinpurse" is about "as bald as
Michael Chiklis," which transitions into a parody of the Shield where
the star Vick Mackey (played by Chiklis) is teamed up with his brother
-- a giant ballsack named Detective Scrotes.
* There's a commercial in here...
* Following the scene where Peter "provid[es] nighttime heat for Lara
Flynn Boyle", there is an entire scene cut from the Fox version
(presumably for time):  Stewie leads Brian and Meg in saying grace at
the dinner table, evoking exasperation from Brian.  After grace, Lois
and Meg congratulate Peter on his "Grind My Gears" segment, which
leads into a segment about Peter's relative Ella Fitzgerald Griffin,
whose high-pitched singing shatters a glass, which sends shard into
the eyes of her accompanist, young Ray Charles, blinding him.
* Commercial
* In the scene where Brian and Stewie get loaded at the bar, there is
a brief scene where the two are playing a vintage Pac-Man machine and
arguing over strategy ("I'm not going to get the fruit, there's a
ghost right there!!!") -- cut
* In Peter's final "Grind My Gears" segment, when gets fired, he says,
to America, "F*ck you!"  Obviously, "f*ck" is bleeped (no change in
overall editing, just a bleep on the soundtrack -- and it's still
obvious from Peter's lips what he said)
* Slight change in timing in the transition to the next scene, and
also the Fox version has transition music added, whereas the leaked
version is silent.
* They totally re-edited the scene where Brian confronts a hungover
Stewie...  the order of the gags is different, the Fox version is
missing a gag where Brian realizes Stewie is naked and they discover
he has the words "PROPERTY OF ROGER MOORE" written on his chest
(replacing it instead with Stewie finding a handkerchief with the
initials R.M.), and the leaked version has a brief "Meanwhile..."
scene that introduces the older Stewie for the first time.  It picks
back up at the start of episode 2, where the Griffins are in an
electronics store buying a TiVo.
EPISODE 2
* No differences at all before the first commercial break!!
* Commercial
* Scene cut: A tied-up Quagmire manages to phone for help by using the
remote to put a porno on the TV, and then using his resulting erection
to dial.
* Commercial
* Scene cut: Brian and Stewie's musings about all the "kooky
roommates" living in San Fransisco leads to a non-sequitur about the
Thundercats where Lion-O uses his X-ray vision to spy on Cheetara
while she is in the bathroom
*  The leaked version has an intermission at the conclusion of
"episode 2", with lots of off-color jokes from all the characters that
would undoubtedly have been cut by the censors, heh..  The Fox version
has a reference to the show Soap, where the music from that show plays
as several questions about the next episode are asked -- just like a
soap opera.  Yes, they are parodying Soap parodying a soap opera.
Sheesh...
EPISODE 3
* The Fox version begins with a recap.  Interestingly, there was no
recap at the beginning of Episode 2... go figure!  The recap includes
an "Unrelated clip from The Chevy Chase Show."
* Scene cut: In the leaked version, before young Stewie and old Stewie
arrive at the Griffin home, Peter is watching the Britney Spears
combeack concert, featuring an overweight Britney in a wheelchair,
with one foot amputated due to diabetes ("but [she's] still sexy
y'all!").
* Chris' wife Vanessa says "f*ckin'" constantly.  These are all
bleeped, of course (but again, no change in timing, just an added
bleep)
* Joke cut: In the leaked version, Chris the cop points out several
parking violations he could ticket his mother for, but won't.  To
thank him she gives him a cookie, to which Vanessa responds, "Yeah,
that's what he needs, a f*ckin' cookie!"
* Joke cut: Peter observes that his trip to Sonoma was "much better
than that time I got stuck on a desert island with Bono," and a brief
non-sequitir ensues.
* Joke cut: Old Stewie reminisces about his prom: "We couldn't do any
dancing because of her club foot, but the punch was delicious!  I
think somebody put mango in it.  Isn't it funny I remember that after
all these years?"
* Three more bleeped F-bombs from Vanessa, and then while in the
leaked version she says, "Oh screw him, that f*ckin' kid's from Guam.
He probably only speaks Spanish or some sh*it," while in the Fox
version she says, "That kid's from Guam.  He probably only speaks
Spanish or some <BLEEEP!>"  (If you listen closely you can tell "That
kid's from Guam" was recorded in a different session.)
* Commercial
* Scene cut: Old Stewie changing young Stewie's diaper.  The latter
accuses the former of staring at his genitals, to which old Stewie
replies: "Well, look, I'm not allowed to tell you anything but your
own future, but I will say this: Enjoy your left testicle while you
have the chance."
* Joke cut: Before Chris and Meg arrive at the Griffin home, Peter and
Lois are watching "Law and Order: PCAMPIEOFTD... Petty Crimes Against
Municipal Property In Excess Of Five Thousand Dollars"
* Inexplicable joke change: As young Stewie helps old Stewie rehearse
the mechanics of having sex, in the leaked version he chants, "Put it
in, take it out, put it in, take it out," while in the Fox version he
chants, "And in, and out, and in, and out."  WTF?!?  Did including
"it" in the ol' in-and-out really make it that much less dirty?!?!?  I
guess...  Still weird... (Especially since thirty seconds later, young
Stewie demands that old Stewie "insert [his] phallus into her vagina."  Saying "it" is worse?!)
* Non-sequitur cut:  Young Stewie says, "This is almost as bad as when
Peter got fired as the first director on Terms of Endearment."  heh...
like South Park's parody: "You think that's bad!"  Hah!
* Non-sequitur cut:  Young Stewie says, "It's not the first gift
that's ever gone unappreciated," and cut to Peter giving Lois an
arcade-style Galaga machine for Christmas.
* Commercial
* Scene cut: Tom and Diane are still doing reporting from the nursing
home.  "And in international news, I'm fairly certain that Filipino
nurse is stealing from me."
* Joke cut: As a condition of loaning the Stewies money, Lois demands
that they ensure Chris "never marries that bitch Vanessa," and that
Lois never winds up in a retirement home -- young Stewie is only too
happy to oblige on the latter point.
* Scene cut: Young Stewie, on his way back in time, stops at Chris and
Vanessa's wedding and kills Vanessa with an RPG.  "So, enjoy the
Chicken Dance."
* In the final scene, where Meg is inspired by the name "Ron," the
leaked version plays movie-endin' music and then has a slow pan out
followed by "THE END" and then the "wrap party" for the movie.  In the
Fox version, there is the same dialogue about "Ron," but no music and
then ends TV show-style.
P.S. Maybe if that list is fleshed out, it should be it's own separate article, to prevent this one from getting too "listy"?

thread_title: Reworked!

message: Meanwhile, in the B plot, Peter and Lois decide to encourage their older children to date, in a series of short sequences that count among the most uncomfortable in the history of the series.
I vote this is reworded, or at least has more added to it. It hasn't officially been deemed uncomfortable by anyone, and in any case, the sequences aren't even described so the reader can form their own opinion. Anakalypsis 05:31, 15 October 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Pop culture references

message: OK, I'm a little confussed here, where are the deleted scenes again? I can't find any. Are they in the movie, or are they hidden? At first I thought that they might of added them to the movie, then I read the section of Lois' artical that talks about her sexuality, and it says that there's a deleted scene in Stewie B. Goode (Act 1) that begains with Loetta and Lois french-kissing, Meg asks Lois to teach her how to do that, Meg and Mayor West frenck-kissing, and Stewie blocking the camera  saying "That is soooo disgusting. You should see what me and Rupert are doing!" and then the credits role. Is this hiddin in the DVD, or did it state the wrong episode? Just woundering.--BrianGriffin-FG 20:24, 20 April 2007 (UTC)
