20 Best Family Guy Episodes

16. Brian Goes Back To College

Hilarious largely for its A-Team references("I pity the fool! And also suggest ways he may better himself.") this is some classic Family Guy comedy, with Brian and Stewie going to college after Brian is kicked off the New Yorker for dropping out of college earlier on in his life. There are some hilarious slights to the New Yorker and it's snobbery here, with some great jokes and the introduction of James William Bottomtooth. The attempts of Peter's A-Team to fight injustice are consistently funny, as they cause far more damage than they need to, while Stewie's transition into a college hipster is a joy to behold. But the best cultural reference, something Family Guy exceeds in, is the Rocky montage in which Stewie and Brian train up for an exam interspersed with shots of Ivan Drago training in his own gym. A fast paced episode that really plays to the best thing Family guy can do: 80's pop culture references.
