I always thought the joke was Peter's supposed to be filming Stewie like Lois told him to but instead he's filming the bag for no idiotic reason. Then you'd say "Where'd that wall come from? He's facing the street."
Benjamin Cox American Beauty is one of the worst movies of all time. He retold Lolita but with the pedophile as a sympathetic character. People still don’t believe Hollywood is evil? Even ignoring the pro-pedophile agenda, the rest of the movie is like something you’d read on r/iam14andthisisdeep.
@@Sorakeyblademaster37 the pedophile is meant to be sympathetic in the original, he feels bad and weird about it but cant help it after his first gf died. you're not supposed to forgive him, but acting like sleeping with a teenage girl is the same thing as didling a 7 year old is stupid when teenage girls have sex with other teenagers. but yes hollywood is ran by pedophiles, roman polanski drugging and raping a 13y/o and the unending crusade to forgive him has proved that
I believe this bag scene was perfectly funny on its own. Peter, who is supposed to be recording stewie, gets distracted by an isignificant piece of trash blowing in the wind, and somehow thinks its the most beautiful thing in the world, adding that poetic piece of dialogue. I didnt even know it was based on a movie until i decided to look this scene up.
Do you ever feel like a plastic bag Drifting through the wind, wanting to start again? Do you ever feel, feel so paper-thin Like a house of cards, one blow from caving in?
I noticed that too. Unfortunately psychedelics made me wish I just saw it as a piece of trash and not try to find meaning behind EVERYTHING. One can only wish
sonicbluray no it’s not it makes horrible jokes with no actual smart put into it and on top of that everyone’s a horrible character they’re just mean people only person in the family that’s tolerable is stewie and brian 2 when stewie and brian are on an adventure
That's only really an issue if you assume the micromanaging concept of things, I like to think that there is some organizational structure to heaven so that for the various things that actually need to be watched there is someone observed which allows God the free time to yell at some random guy
@@lampad4549 I was 17 or 18 that time. Having other things in mind, than the beauties of the world. Coincidentally i watched American beauty yesterday again and now i feel the meaning of it.
@@Phistra Yeah, we all change overtime. I do appreciate the meaning of the scene more, but did think exactly like God when I was a teen watching the movie.
It's an "American Beauty" (a movie) reference. At the time, everybody got it. Now (2024) nobody gets it because Kevin Spacey is canceled from the zeitgeist. Still funny whenever I see a bag floating in the wind.
Atleast my CRT’s don’t have to get a software update every week, break if you touch them the wrong way, force advertisements on your home screen, and spy on you.
Yeah, I always though that Ricky Fitts thought a little too much into that video of the bag blowing in the wind. But, it was probably due to his excessive weed smoking.
Second only to 'The curtains are f*king blue', this is an amazing representation of teachers making something out of nothing when 'teaching' us to look at stories symbolically.
That just shows that you missed the point. The point is that if an author chooses to drawn attention to a specific element it probably has a meaning, and a key part of critical thinking is trying to figure out that meaning. The author could have said "There were curtains in the room," but they didn't, they specifically said blue curtains. The significance should be pretty obvious, blue is the color of sadness. Saying "Yeah, this is stupid, the curtains are blue and that's it," is something that people think makes them look smart, but actually makes them look profoundly stupid, like those people who say "Schools shouldn't teach math, they should teach things that matter in the real world, like how to make your resume," without realizing that pretty much every job requires math, even the trades like construction, and that if you need a class to teach you how to type out a single page resume... Well, that certainly explains why you hated math in school.
*I feel like Family Guy started the revolution for the cultural demise of American Beauty. American Beauty came out in 1999 and is generally a very overrated movie. But at the time, it was critically applauded by everyone. Seth MacFarlane was one of the very first to see its bullshit and go against the massive grain and call it out. It’s like the Holden Caulfield of movies. And it’s so ironic that Kevin Spacey, the good guy, was in this movie playing a character who resisted statutory rape of another character… just to commit statutory rape in REAL LIFE on a young man. Obviously, Kevin Spacey is a big reason for American Beauty’s cultural demise since he is generally loathed today and his public image has taken a huge hit since his scandal. Shit, Family Guy even had a Kevin Spacey gag about a young man escaping him. You can trust Family Guy to be on the right side of history on many social topics. But they absolutely nailed it with American Beauty’s phoniness and disingenuousness.*
Ose dark garica : i’ll come on Peter it’s just a little fucking bag in this thing on my post to be like a bullshit Quacker jack in this thing you know is it that the bag and a problem you know
It's funny, this same analogy can be used to describe the last ten seasons of family guy, and those who try to defend it under the excuse of "subjective comedy" sometimes a piece of trash is just a piece of trash fellas.
“A few hours, the sun will rise” content creator: “seriously what does that mean?” God: “It’s a response to her dubbed line on her freezing assuring her she’ll get warmer by sunrise! DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW COMPLICATED YOUR CIRCULATORY SYSTEM IS?!”

Lmao why is there a brick wall in his driveway
californiadreamin7 it's from a movie
californiadreamin7 it's convenient for the reference from the movie
It’s from American Beauty. They made a couple of references from that movie.
californiadreamin7
Why not
Are you seriously looking for logic in Family Guy?
That last little piano note at 0:19 ... hits me with the feels each and every time ☺️😂😭
Me too!
So deep bro 😢
I didn't understand this reference, but when I was watching this as a kid I was dying laughing
It's from the movie american beauty.
@Kevin Zaccaro why did he laugh? 🤷♀️I thought it was a deep scene, poetic
@Kevin Zaccaro hold on where do you live where you can watch family guy in a theater
@Kevin Zaccaro oh okay lol
To me, that’s the sign of a top-tier joke when it can make you laugh without having to know the context behind it.
I always thought the joke was Peter's supposed to be filming Stewie like Lois told him to but instead he's filming the bag for no idiotic reason. Then you'd say "Where'd that wall come from? He's facing the street."
+FamilyGirl566 It's a reference from the movie American Beauty, just youtube the words Ricky Fitts dancing bag.
+Kenneth Holder Yeah, I know; I'm saying I know the real joke now.
+Kenneth Holder i thought it was supposed to be a parody of that werner herzog short film
FamilyGirl566 I think part of the joke at least with God was your supposed to be paying attention to your kid but instead a plastic bag
T_ man Yeah that what I thought that part was too (then I looked up what circulatory system is)
Look how much the animators have to extend Stewie's legs for him to ride the tricycle. Lol.
"Stewie long legs just blew your mind"
Must have been a newbie or mental block at the moment. Even I have moments where I’m like “shit I should have done it like this instead “.
God represents how I feel about video essays on CZcams.
Same
It depends on the topic
😂😂😂😂
IT'S JUST SOME TRASH BLOWING IN THE WIND!
YES!
Sometimes there’s so such beauty in the world that makes my heart burst...
IT'S JUST SOME TRASH BLOWING IN THE WIND! DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW COMPLICATED YOU'RE CIRCULATORY SYSTEM IS!?
@@snowgroomer600yet it is marred with diseases and doesn't carry it's purpose but beauty outside of us is simple yet breathtaking
THIS IS GENIUS OMG HAHAHAHA
Watching random plastic bags fly in the wind will always be the funniest thing to me and I dont know why
Feels bad knowing 14 year olds will watch this and not understand the refrence
Why is it bad
cheeki breeki you don’t have to be a certain age to watch movies that are in the past

Lol one of my all time favourite Family Guy scenes.
Do you ever feel like a plastic bag
Drifting through the wind, wanting to start again?
Do you ever feel, feel so paper-thin
Like a house of cards, one blow from caving in?
BABY, YOU'RE A FIREWORK!!!!!
@@punisherfan122 GO SHOW THEM WHAT YOUR WORTH!!!
@@rivaldovillegas3725MAKE 'EM GO, "OH, OH, OH"
haha it's funny 'cause kevin spacey was in both "house of cards" and "american beauty". also he allegedly sexually assaulted a bunch of people
damn
two kevin spacey related media references in a row lol
Peter's rant reminds me of the endless pretentious and inobservant pop culture essays plaguing CZcams.
I hate those
Weird reference they brought back in season 21
That's my Art Appreciation professor
They JUST referenced this in the first episode of season 21.
lol American Beauty reference.

Thank You God...
Peter has better of an attention span than tik tok users have
Let’s not kid ourselves, he’d drown himself in that app
It's just a random bag blowing in the wind
0:08 I just love how there's a brick wall on the road. 😂
This scene actually mocked the scene from American Beauty
0:25 🤣 everytime I can feel that
Peter is poetic. 🤣
He also watches movies.
*That bag moves around like an average Dark Souls player*
Modern Art summed up one video.
As an Art Major I agree with this XD
0:21 god yelling at peter about how dumb he is my fav.

It's just some *trash* blowing in the *wind!* Do you have any idea how complicated your *circulatory system* is?
Renember kids whenever the wind starts blowing its time for the bags to danceXD
IT’S JUST SOME TRASH BLOWING IN THE WIND!!
Do you have any idea how complicated your circulatory system is!?!
this is one of those jokes that are still funny even when you don't get the reference
XD LOVE IT
Go Peter... And American Beauty 🤣🤣
I love how everyone acts like it’s just trash in the wind but it’s really talking about the wind and the force behind it
I noticed that too. Unfortunately psychedelics made me wish I just saw it as a piece of trash and not try to find meaning behind EVERYTHING. One can only wish
Back when the show was good.
Adam Sukenick it still is

Back when people could make original comments
CZcams explained in less than 30 seconds.
HOW??!?
This aged well (CZcams shorts)
Chris screaming STEWIE has me rotfl
Hahaha it's dancing with me
I've just now watched the movie and remembered where it was from,here.
The fact that God somehow has the time to just yell at random people on Earth is very disturbing to me.
Holy christ that's the funniest fuckin comment I've ever read! LOVE IT!!!

I remember seeing that scene in American Beauty and thought nearly the same what God says.
shows your lack of empathy

Circulatory system? Your circulatory system is your cardiovascular system. Your heart and blow flow. Nothing to do with the way you think...
He’s referring to the fact that Peter is enticed by a plastic bag when the human body is a very complex and amazing thing.
What having ADD is like.
This ruined my favorite movie scene
It's an "American Beauty" (a movie) reference. At the time, everybody got it. Now (2024) nobody gets it because Kevin Spacey is canceled from the zeitgeist. Still funny whenever I see a bag floating in the wind.
God may be omnipresent, but he sure as hell ain't omnipatient
I don’t get why they suddenly show God
The joke is God's just pissed off at Peter for trying to find deeper meaning around a completely basic construct.
for people who don't know this is a reference to a similar scene from the movie American Beauty
I love this and American Beauty lol
God even knows this is bullcrap
They did somewhat of an ohmage to this s21ep1
Me, after watching Soul...
When I was a kid I thought this way about balloons 😂
The piano
WHY DOES THIS CRACK ME THE FUCK UP XD
Me and my goals
This is genius! Lol
Drunk driving
Oh yeah. I never thought of my own circulatory system its like some benevolent force that wants me to know........
look it's me
American beauty film
Look it's dancing with me

WHAT EP IS THIS 🤣🤣😭😭😭
Oh look a KPOP performance
Stevie is so cute 🥰
Finally, someone (GOD) understand me ...
Actually the circulatory system is pretty complicated...wow, good on ya God🤔
Actually a little disappointed to see this is a movie reference. I thought it was just an off the wall stupid moment for Peter
