Neither was even slightly funny.

And maybe it’s just because I’m in ME where the school systems all use Macs, but everyone recognizes that spinning ball of death here.

i was thrilled to see the spinning color wheel (that is what I call it). At first I had a disconnect; I know what that is, but what is it doing in a Family Guy episode?

Then I realized: ninety percent of people watching are scratching their heads and going, Huh?

Those wacky people at Family Guy!

In all fairness, just having the Windows joke is impressive. They probably had about 24 hours to write and edit that joke into the show, since Microsoft was supposed to have an official sponsorship deal with Family Guy, and dumped them at the last minute. They have to write it, lay it out, send it to Korea, animate it, and dovetail it back into the show that was already complete. I’ll bet the next one is much better!

the best part of the Windoze 7 joke was that the first commercial to air during the break was a Windoze 7 commercial. I absolutely lost it.

Not even funny, at all, for neither.

At least the beach ball of death tends to disappear sooner than the hourglass of death– and it’s more colorful!

Both are hysterical. )

But I really love the ” …….. and the number 5″ comment. Too freaking funny.
