This Family Guy scene got laughs from its first exchange. Family Guy (1999) is the animated series starring Seth MacFarlane, Alex Borstein and Seth Green.

The Family Guy weak powers joke

The setup line is "Our powers are weak, old man." The reply comes straight back: "I hear there's pills that can help that."

A wedged object and a plan to deal with it later

Next, something gets stuck. The response is simple: "It's not going anywhere. Let's just take off. We'll deal with it later." The plan is for one character to drive while the other hangs on to the thing as they go.

The reactions to the scene

One line heard during the scene was "Sometimes it just be like that." Another was "He busted out the clock."
