Family Guy: Northwest Airlines Spoof

Family Guy just did a spoof of Northwest Airlines in the opening scene of its new Christmas episode.

Spoofing how the airlines strived to not get passengers where they needed to be. Even as a NWA loyalist I was laughing out loud.

It was a very fun joke but would have been funnier when they showed the flight attendent if a DM got up and started pitching a fit.

That just wouldn't be factual! NW never had any DMs!

I was surprised there wasn't a jab at the drunk pilots.

Even better and more elite -- the 2% Club. The Zipper might even repost the photo of his membership card if you beg hard enough.

Still wish I hadn't misplaced my Strib cartoon showing Sober Cab bringing the crew out to the plane.

Looks like someone has uploaded it to YouTube. Not high-quality though.

Also appears the Griffin's are doing some ad work for the Callao Health Services in the LIM airport!

That's great. Good thing that was at the beginning because I will have to wait until Fox puts it up online in order to watch it.
