Quagmire's Dad

Quagmire's Dad is the eighteenth episode of the eighth season of Family Guy.

Why It Sucks

 * 1) This episode mocks transgender people by claiming it's the exact same thing as being gay.
 * 2) To add insult to injury, Family Guy creator, Seth MacFarlane said that this episode would be sympathetic to the LGBTQ community. If anything, this episode instead seems to mock the LGBTQ community.
 * 3) Lois acts like a hypocritical jerk in this episode, as she (along with Peter) thinks transgenders and gays are the exact same thing, she calls Dan odd because he's transgender, tells Meg to throw out a pan of crumble with no explanation about that, and calls Peter out for being inappropriate despite she has said worse in this episode.
 * 4) There are jokes that don't make an ounce of sense, like Lois telling Meg to throw a pan of crumble out in the trash.
 * 5) Ida and Brian form a relationship that is completely forced, as if the writers were trying to get a joke out.
 * 6) The scene where Brian vomits for a few minutes after he found out he had sex with Dan/Ida is not just disgusting, it's also pure filler.
 * 7) To add insult to injury, Seth MacFarlane defended Brian's reasoning for his vomit scene to be dragged out.
 * 8) Quagmire beats up Brian at the end of the episode. it's not as satisfying to watch because Brian never really did anything wrong. Even an unlikable Brian getting beaten up was not justified or satisfying, nor did Quagmire get his comeuppance for committing animal abuse.
 * 9) Peter and Lois never get a punishment or learn the error of their ways for mocking Dan/Ida.

Redeeming Qualities

 * 1) Dan/Ida learns the error of his/her ways.
 * 2) Despite the infamous ending, the part where Brian says "I f***ed your dad" was funny.
 * 3) To be fair, learning you slept with the transgender father of someone you hate is a pretty shocking realization.
 * 4) It has a decent sequel, "Quagmire's Mom", which was pretty funny with a parody of the General Car Insurance.
