Not really. It had theme that made it feel like a statement album, but they forgot to write compelling music to go along with it. I'd go so far as to say that Funeral was their only fantastic album.

It's like she writes music specifically to be piped over the speakers at Kohl's. She actually did a cover of "Santa Baby" that stripped everything sexy and sultry out of the original performance and turned it into generic pop country.

In the first season, they have the "There's Something About Stewie" bit where they reenact the "hair gel" bit from "Something About Mary" but with Stewie in place of Cameron Diaz.

Disney villains have a habit of dying because of their own missteps, so as not to sully the morality of the heroes. Falling off a cliff is typical, because it's a convenient way of the death not being expliciately shown or too graphic for a G-rated film.

All I remember about JPIII was the terribly low bodycount (you only died if you were a pilot or security detail—the last person dies like 30 minutes in), and the worst climax in cinematic history: defeating raptors with a blow of a bone whistle.
