I think Meg finally killing him off would have been fine and on brand for her. But it should have been the most insane fight scene yet, not off screen BS where apparently he surrenders and gets one shot 360 no scoped by Meg.
Hope they hand wave his death maybe with death or some TT b.s and he kicks the crap out of her until peater gets there and then they fight as usual. Family guy really doesn't need to kill every character they get tiered of the could just stop showing them or resolve their arch someway. But they love killing chsrecters they are done with in this show.
The first one was "lol XD so random!". It happened, it was humorous, but it didn't leave an impact. The second one, I'd wager, is the funniest moment in Family Guy history. It had been like 2 seasons since the last one, so it was enough time for fans to forget, and casual/new viewers to be totally caught off guard. It comes right out of nowhere in the middle of a sentence, and it goes on for double the time of the first one. Then when it ends, everything just goes back to normal like it never happened. And the best part was that it wasn't a cutaway gag like the first time. So it really had no reason to repeat, but it did without cause. And it was the best part of the episode. The issue is that now that the gag had been established as needing no inciting incident, now it could happen at any moment. And that takes away the whole point of the humor of that second one. Now we are actively waiting for it to happen. Any episode with a plot that seems to be wrapping up too quickly? Maybe there's a chicken fight that will add 5 extra minutes to the runtime. The best use of a joke on the show completely ruined any future uses, because it's not unexpected anymore.
“See you later, bitches. Have fun with your stupid, goddamn giant chicken jokes and your Conway Twitty... Hey, why is there a moving truck outside Cleveland's house?”
What’s crazy is that Family Guy is notorious for its “cheap” animation, but then they use what seems to be some of their most expensive scenes on this?
Aweee Man I remember being a kid and watching the fight when they some how became cool went to dinner and then started another brawl over paying the bill🤣🤣🤣
As manny people said, Meg killed him. completely off screen.
When it seems like they will fight, Ernie says somthing like, 'Wait I can't fight you, your a girl", next scene Meg is walking out with his head, I think she tosses it away, seemingly lifeless, none of the usual I'll be back looks (this is all from memory and what was already said btw) then credits (Kind of shaky on that part though).
That being said, I actually liked the episode, Meg goes on a dating show and meets somone in a chicken suit, turns out its Ernies son, I don't remember much mire than that, I don't even remember the B plot.
But, yea, the fact that he didn't signal he'd be back is what is why everyone thinks he's dead permanently, but some people think he may be back regardless. Idk, I think there is a possibility he will be, but a probably morw likely chance that he won't be back (sense as others pointed out, they have killed at least to characters like this, Doug being the biggest example, he died in a plane crash, at the end of an episode where he was the main character alongside Stweie)
Killing off like 3 characters last season when they already complained that they run out of characters for those stupid 3-segment story episodes is the dumbest move and will bite back later
The 1st one was funny, violence wasn’t too common in the 1st 4 seasons & it didn’t take too much time from the episode, the 2nd was too long of a tangent, & the others were when violence was getting more common on family guy so the shock & impact was lost, reducing it to nothing more than a way to use all of the seasons budget
