Christmas Guy

Christmas Guy is the eighth episode of the twelfth season of the animated comedy series Family Guy, and is the third and final episode of a three-part story arc revolving around the death of main character Brian Griffin.



Why It Sucks

 * 1) It completely tosses the character of Vinny out the window.
 * 2) Brian is brought back to life after only two episodes, thus making "Life of Brian" completely pointless
 * 3) The scene where Kevin McCallister from Home Alone gets shot in the head by a robber is extremely distasteful, especially since it aired one day after the one-year anniversary of the Sandy Hook Elementary School massacre.
 * 4) All it takes for Peter to get Carter into the holiday spirit is an anti-Semitic joke, which completely wastes the subplot of this episode.
 * 5) Peter forces Carter to do disgusting things like chug an entire bottle of eggnog and masturbate in front of him.

Redeeming Qualites

 * 1) The ending is very heartwarming.
 * 2) The "Gluten-free Santa" cutaway gag is pretty funny, as well as the scene where Vinny gives Stewie a foot and an Italian mob a toy train, and they try to name who they think they killed.
