Talk:Road to Rupert/Archive 1

Main reference
I don't edit these episode pages, so I didn't want to do it myself, but this page should mention that, like the other episodes in this sequence, it's an homage to the Road to... series with Bob Hope and Bing Crosby. For some reason, only Road to Rhode Island mentions it.

Cultural Ref.
Removed

"On a highway sign near the end of the episode, there is the millage to Rhode Island, likely a reference to the episode "Road to Rhode Island""

Because it makes no sense. They live in Rhode Island and were going to Rhode Island. It's not a reference.

 * I just deleted one that said "Peter continues to whine in the car about how he wants apple juice." For those who don't know, a cultural reference is not every single joke or moment in the show not included in the plot summary or notes. A cultural reference is something pertaining to real-life entertainment, sports, politics etc. So just don't put random stuff down. User:Saget53 19:09, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

To get the helicopter, Stewie and Brian had to do this dance and Stewie went over to this real life scene and started dancing with this guy. Pardon my ignorance, but that looks like a cultural reference to me, does anyone know where that was from? NoItAl 07:32, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

Re: Appearing as the devil and the helicopter crashing - I saw a film years ago where in the last scene the last person left alive that they finally manage to rescue from this boat and are flying off in the helicopter turns out to be the devil. This is revealed as the twist at the end of the film and as she suddenly turns and reveals herself to be the devil the helicopter crashes. The film was called 'Satan's Triangle' made in 1975. My memory is hazy but I believe this is a more likely candidate for both this episode and Planes Trains and Automobile's parody.

Cleanup?
Listen, I wrote this article and, saying this in the least pompous way as possibe, I think it is well written. Problem is, people keep coming back, putting unnecessary information in the cultural references and notes. I've been working to delete these things and whoever put the box in should too. But lets not forget:
 * 1) The box makes the article look even worse
 * 2) The plot summary really doesn't need work, again saying that as humble as possible. User:Saget53 16:32, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

Oh Crap.
Family Guy should be more careful. They might get sued by warner for the Gene Kelly thing. --172.143.232.224 18:55, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

Higurashi
"In some countries' broadcast of the show, after Peter's replies that she was great, Meg says that the Horror Anime Higurashi no Naku Koro ni taught her how to fight. This was not seen in the United States, due to the fact that the show is virtually unknown."

Anyone know if this has any truth to it? 71.251.186.49 14:44, 3 February 2007 (UTC)

I'm also curious...

Stewies age
Should the reference to Stewie "still" being 1 years old be mentioned? When Stewie told Brian that he was only 1 years old, Brian said "still?". That's obviously a reference to the fact that he has not aged at all since the begining of the series. Should this reference be noted in the article? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 151.203.147.129 (talk) 04:30, 26 February 2007 (UTC).

Helicoptor
I deleted the goofs section, along with the pictures about the helicoptor crash. Not only did it almost double the length of the article, but its also explainable. Maybe it was supposed to have lost one of the propellors on the way down. Plus even if it was a goof, its not worth making the article look like crap. User:Saget53 19:08, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
