The best episode of the season is still the Gwimbly one, but my least favorite is still Brother's Egg.
Gwimbley was excellent, that and the pilot are definitely in my top three episodes, both seasons started extremely strong.

I feel like the problem with the Brother's Egg episode is it's incredibly funny if you are familiar with the old Russian Homunculus hoax video and Joel Haver (he's the traced over motion capture brother). I can see it just being a random mishmash if you aren't familiar with either of those two entities.

At the least, Daniel and Doug being mockeries of Rick Sanchez and Jerry respectively (albeit sympathetic ones) does give casual viewers an idea on how the episode is gonna go.
 
Brother's Egg is one of those episodes that feels funnier the more I remember and revisit it.

I wasn't really laughing hard when I first watched it... but it just stayed with me.

I know it wasn't big on everyone but I really loved the President, that whole episode had me in tears with how gross and awkward he is.
The episode had funny jokes, and I find it funny just how nasty he was, but he's so gross it kind of ruined the episode for me
It's a very odd feeling
I think it gets shit on more than it deserves though

That's probably it. Joel Haver's videos are really hit and miss for me, Brother's Egg felt like a Joel Haver video more than anything else.

It was one of those things, for me, that was funny for about twenty seconds and then I was already sick of it. Only so many times he can mumble like an autist while smearing grease on his shirt before it gets old.

Gameplay footage from the recently found CD-i game. It's unknown exactly why the seemingly completed game was cancelled back in 1994, but it's most likely due to the commercial failure of the CD-i. Although there are rumors that the CEO of IGBG was just unhappy with the overall writing/voice acting/animation/gameplay and pulled the plug on it.

 

I'm bummed most languages didn't bother with the shitty mic quality when he was screaming.
The biggest crime here is that they didn't do the Spanish Pim and Charlie bit in English for the Spanish dubs of the show. The joke is absolutely ruined here, the punchline is either that they just change accents (Spain dub) or even lamer, are whispering in a corner (Mexican dub).
Even Family Guy put in the extra effort to make sure the joke translated well in their case, for shame.
