For the most part, it's hard to have too many strong opinions about "Family Guy" on an episode-by-episode basis. Most of the show's humor comes in the form of cutaways or otherwise self-contained jokes, meaning that so many of its best and worst moments feel completely disconnected from the episode they're from. I for one really hate that joke where Quagmire rapes Marge from "The Simpsons," but it barely affects my feelings towards the episode it's part of ("Movin' Out (Brian's Song)"), mainly because it's so easy to forget that this was the episode where the series did that gag.

That said, some episodes of "Family Guy" have a plot so terrible that they really do stick in viewers' minds long after the credits roll, regardless of any funny cutaways they have to ease the blow. So, below are five of my least favorite "Family Guy" episodes in the series. Apologies to all the "Life of Brian" haters out there, but that one's not on the list.
