Technically it's two sentences, but I'd also count "I will not be swayed by your attempts to confuse my sensors with your all-female sex orgy... WE MUST KUNG-FU FIGHT!" as an all-time great line.
In real life, community theaters can get in trouble if they change the shows they license. Ted Chapin would have a shit fit if you did this to Rodgers and Hammerstein in real-life.
I think the most egregious thing about this is that Peter (as A.N.N.A.) proudly proclaims that he's a robot ninja from England, but after he defeats and overthrows the King of Siam, he claims the planet in the name of America
To be fair, the United States of America started when a bunch of guys came from England to another land and declared it America. It's not that different from what A.N.N.A. did here.
A.N.N.A. rules! 'Cause I kick all the bad guys in their jewels! A.N.N.A. won! Thanks to my gamma ray atomic gun Dance and shout, he's the world's greatest ninja there's no doubt Though they try to defeat me, they can all just freakin' eat me 'Cause he blew all of us away On the planet of Siam there's no one as tough as I am, just as surely as Paul Lynde was gay!
sometimes I stop and think about how much more successful brian could have been if he just dropped writing and became a singer or an actor. He's got a voice designed for jazz and he's not a bad actor
So many great lines in this particular episode. Lose it every time Peter enters for his audition and goes, “Excuse me, can anybody help me with all this talent.” Lolol
A foreshadowing to Brian's later pretentious thespian wannabe persona. While Lois quit when the play became a shell of what she stood for, Brian was willing to stay in whatever crap Peter made so long as he got to be the star.
There were two versions in 1999: The animated remake of the 1956 film and a live-action, non-musical version of the same story, starring Jodie Foster and Chow Yun-fat, entitled *Anna and the King.* I saw both in theaters. Needless to say, I preferred the latter.
For people who say Peter's play is abysmal, this is a Revolutionary War reference. Peter came from another land referred to as "England," fought the King of Siam, & gained possession of this land and declared this land as "America."
I have come to loathe Family Guy over the years, but sometimes my wife leaves it looping on Hulu to help her sleep, so I just let it be. In those years of loathing I spent a while on the stance, "Family Guy was always bad," but then this episode came back up in one of the rotations. Even my stone cold heart can't argue with this one, this one is fantastic.
Remember, he threw all this together in about a day. That is just genuinely impressive on top of everything else
Frankly, it’s not that bad! It would make a good underground cult movie! Like Richard Elfman’s Forbidden Zone!
It’s a cartoon but ok
Lol yeah this is minimum a 6 month multi million dollar production
Actually it was 3 hours!
Wild, almost like it's fiction
“I am a robot ninja from the planet England” might just be the funniest sentence I’ve ever heard.
England is a planet?
You may call me “Anna” 😂
England is my city
Huge Rocky Horror energy
Technically it's two sentences, but I'd also count "I will not be swayed by your attempts to confuse my sensors with your all-female sex orgy... WE MUST KUNG-FU FIGHT!" as an all-time great line.
You gotta love Brian’s professionalism, doesn’t matter how silly the story is, he keeps giving his best.
It’s funny how he sung his last words so beautifully, and then just dropped dead.
Peter is like the Michael Bay of theatre
only he does it right.
This is also what Paul WS Anderson did with the Resident Evil video games in a nutshell.
Or the Spalding Grey of crap.
@@bryan5580 yea :DD
False. This is actually entertaining.
No joke though, this actually looks like a pretty kickass play.
In real life, community theaters can get in trouble if they change the shows they license. Ted Chapin would have a shit fit if you did this to Rodgers and Hammerstein in real-life.
I can’t believe that marvel stole this scene for captain America
Is it still stealing if Disney now owns the OG?
I survived the 9th Nuclear World War of 2015
Me too
Same
As have I.
It's spelled "Nuculer." The "s" is silent.
Same here I’ve been surviving for 7 years after the 9th nuclear world war
I think the most egregious thing about this is that Peter (as A.N.N.A.) proudly proclaims that he's a robot ninja from England, but after he defeats and overthrows the King of Siam, he claims the planet in the name of America
I mean most of the play’s plot got skipped in this episode
@@BlizzyP039 right, they totally skip the part about him declaring his independence from England and founding the new Planet of America.
To be fair, the United States of America started when a bunch of guys came from England to another land and declared it America. It's not that different from what A.N.N.A. did here.
@@dragonkingf3 something like that is probably in there while they fight
@@dragonkingf3 that could be in the plot to. There’s probably a lot the episode couldn’t show us
I surprised Brian was so on board with this
He wanted to be in a play so bad he'll do anything.
He’s a bad writer remember
He loved being the King in this play so he will stick to it
anything to be a star 😂
its bc old brian was Peter's best friend so even if he played the straight man he still went along in his schemes
A.N.N.A. rules!
'Cause I kick all the bad guys in their jewels!
A.N.N.A. won!
Thanks to my gamma ray atomic gun

On the planet of Siam there's no one as tough as I am, just as surely as Paul Lynde was gay!
I always thought they said “Poland was gay” 🤣🤣🤣
I can't only one who'd want a full version of this play right? It's better than anything else on tv
I definitely want this to be an actual play.
This was a hell of a year, that 9th nuclear war being a real kick in the nuts.
I’m surprised none of us from the fallout. We must have some great medicine.
World War 11
I miss these old days of Family Guy
The best line is "we must Kung fu fight!"
That’s not even Thai. He can’t even get his stereotypes right!

They did a couple singer episodes
I really need to rewatch the first 3 to 4 seasons of this show again
So many great lines in this particular episode. Lose it every time Peter enters for his audition and goes, “Excuse me, can anybody help me with all this talent.” Lolol
Just first 3 seasons for me.
In this great big theater production, Peter just wears his everyday white shirt/green pants underneath his robot armor instead of a stage costume.
They had to draw the line somewhere. It was either the Stage costume or the Gamma Ray Atomic Gun. I think peter made the right choice.
Cyberpunk 2077’s Story in a nutshell
It can't be _that_ bad.
Except this is better
Pretty much
Peter: "Siam; 2015 A.D..."
Me: "Holy shit!! Doc and Marty are here!!"
Rick: Morty! We must find the Mulan McDonald's sauce!
Morty: Aw, jeez Rick! Do we have to?!
Rick: Yes burp! Morty! It's the most delicious sauce ever!
Mushroom Head Morty: I-I don't know. Summer's lost in the galaxy again... Maybe we shouldn't leave her unsupervised...
Whatever his flaws, Peter has an incredible imagination and creativity.
It seems lots of terrible people have artistic skills. Imagine Hitler‘s art career if LSD had been discovered 20 years earlier.
Better than the animated version of King and I.
gor9027 True, the animated 1999 film was dog shit.
@@thestone30080 the rankin bass one?
So true Peter’s version is a masterpiece way better than the animated version
Funny that you mentioned that thing, because this episode is a critique of how Hollywood destroys classic stories by making them appeal to the public.
Definitely puts sxxty adaptations to shame 👌
I remember laughing my buttt off to this scene…”you can call me Anna” 🤣🤣🤣
Whenever I meet someone named Anna I really wanna tell them we must kung fu fight
lol same
Historically accurate.
A foreshadowing to Brian's later pretentious thespian wannabe persona. While Lois quit when the play became a shell of what she stood for, Brian was willing to stay in whatever crap Peter made so long as he got to be the star.
ToonReel001 Ok
True
The King of Siam, why that's the lead!
His audition song was later sung by Ralph Wiggum.
I love brian's "Cause he blew all of us aaawaaaaay"
Take away the word away, and that becomes a dirty joke.
1:04- All these years and I only just now noticed the black guy lowering his gaze toward Peter's lower body. How did I miss that?
They wouldn't show this in Thailand 😂🇹🇭🇹🇭🇹🇭
Because the musical is critical of the commoditization of sex that the country’s economy is basically built on.
what lois said about this play can sum up family guy now
Andrew Viewtieful Tachibana and I would share Peter's reply as my own if I could belt one out that long.😆
Ya but back then it was funny
@@Vanghool87 ironic isn't it
Oh, ha ha, I just got that. A poop comment? Yeah, that's real original.
Eh, I don't care. This is still better than the 1999 animated movie.
true
The animated film was a failure, but the original 1956 film was very good.
There were two versions in 1999: The animated remake of the 1956 film and a live-action, non-musical version of the same story, starring Jodie Foster and Chow Yun-fat, entitled *Anna and the King.* I saw both in theaters. Needless to say, I preferred the latter.
Even before the musical, there was a film in 1946 with Rex Harrison and Irene Dunne. Hold tight to your DVD of that now that Disney owns it.
English robot ninja defeats Siamese dog king and proclaims the planet for the USA?! 😂
The King of Siam! Why that's the lead!
Syncretic Views ay, shut up!
“They said I’d be perfect for the lead in *The King & I,* so stupid here shaves her head and doesn’t get the part!“ -Rose, *The Golden Girls*
I love how Brain is playing along. He is usually a more serious character.
He plays along because he wants to keep his role as the King of Siam
You must be confusing him with a character from that show on the WB, *Pinky and the Brian.*
Seeing a Space-Opera story on the stage would be really impressive!
It’s the show *Starlight Express* should have been.
I just realize this is commentary how a studio will take control of a project and make it drastically different from the original
This is too funny! I miss THIS Family Guy
Anime is life Anime is love Anime is Daddy I farted.
“It is a grim future, with lots of explosions and partial nudity…”
I think of this often to get me through the day.
Yeah, the parts that Fox will allow but the three dinosaur networks won’t.
Still better than the other animated version.
They also created the best version of *Annie* to air on TV in 1999 with “My God This House is Freakin’ Sweet.”
WHY ARE WE NOT FUNDING THIS
2015 - back then that seemed so far away. Now it is almost a decade ago......
I proudly know every word to that ending song. 🤣🤣 Old Family Guy was spectacular.
its funny to look back at speculations of the "future" back in the 80s and 90s,given that 2015 was 7 years ago
Stanley Kubrick has left the room.
If Brian is so cultured, why would he allow Peter to butcher The King and I?
Ego. He doesn't care so long as he has the starring role.
But it isn't the starring role. Peter stole that
Brian stuck with Peter through all of his bullshit.
This episode was before they fully fleshed out his character.
This is old family guy. The 2005 version and after was just different
The world didn't look like that in 2015....
It does in 2020
Yeah we never even got atomic gamma ray guns until 2019.
Ironically, this production would have been slightly less offensive than Lois' original vision with Brian as the King and Diane as Lady Thiang...
Considering they had to recast Cleveland…
2015?! There's no time to prepare!!!
LOTR: The Rings of Power predicted 25 years in advance.
Did Peter just make a Mary sue!?
Sean Ocansey more like a marty stu
The best part is him deciding 1 moment before his entrance that the main character is now a robot

Kudos to Brian for sticking with the role despite the massive rewriting. Now that’s dedication.
He can always say “it was a different script than the one I signed on to do” if anybody asks him about it after the fact.
This goes through my head about once a week
It's funny how he was wearing his regular clothes underneath
This was a hundred times more interesting than the original King and I.
England is my planet
The year aged well but not the world war
If they changed the structure of the original play to this. Im pretty sure they could play this in thailand.
Peter made one of the greatest works of our time in a day.
Every bit as good as a ninja story as Naruto.
He choreographed the fight scenes pretty well in a day.
0:54 that blonde chick just popped outta nowhere lmao
Appparently he thinks nine nuclear world wars will take place in fifteen years
This is so funny I can't stop laughing
Still a better adaptation than the 1999 animated _The King and I_ film.
Yes, that was a thing.

Technically, he’d be called “A.N.N.H.A.” with that acronym.
“neohuman” doesnt really count

Basically the history of America.

A.N.N.A. is probably the greatest cyborg ninja from mid 20th century Broadway musical theater.
It's still better than the cartoon version of Anna and the king.
Lois's face XD
Bravo!
Definition of its so bad it’s good.
I think it would be brilliant to make a version of the “King and I” but it takes place in a Star Trek type universe.
Pulp fiction from the early 1920s be like:
Where i can watch their show without any scenes getting skipped 😭😭
Netflix doesn’t have this 😭

So Peter Turbo was supposed to battle The Emperor. Not the bald man named Horus
