This is humor that's perfect for a 3 to 4 panel comic strip you'd read in a newspaper!

Man, the first three odd seasons of Family Guy had some genuinely clever writing. Still the high water mark of the series IMO

[EugeneOneguine]

The way the is voiced is damn hilarious.

[nyancatpoptart]

I like how Brian is just reading the paper and responds so casually to Peter's idiocy like it's an everyday thing for him.

[noguy]

They ran this joke so many times when they promoted the show on cable...i musta heard this gag more than any other.

[krtlkid]

Brian back then was the voice of reason

[Rivwe]

“There’s a message in my alphabets. It says 0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0”

“Peter those are slayer tabs”

Back when Family Guy jokes didn't take several minutes.

Family Guy jokes that shouldn’t make me laugh but do:

[annacharest]

Brian sounds so done, it just makes the whole thing even funnier

[irishboy_pa]

It's a really dumb and short joke.. but still makes me laugh

[Rubberman]

I swear to God, this will ALWAYS make me laugh no matter what!

[johnnyschmith]

In modern family guy, i'd be something like "Eat the children, not me!"

[brokensoul]

How can something so subtle be so funny?

[wilcowan-daly]

I still say this joke to this day, absolute classic

[ARCHVILE_DRS]

One of the best moments in Family Guy history LMFAO

[adamgriffith-smith]

Man Brian was such a different character back then

[MysticWolfMagic]

I used to tell this one to everybody at school including the teachers. They loved it.

[bongoboi]

I honestly could not tell where that was going and it was better than I expected.

Or, Peter's Alpha-bits are haunted.
