The rest of the family (except Chris) only appears in the other musical numbers at the end of the episode. Sometimes we have horrible Family Guy episodes we want to forget about like 420 and Seahorse Seashell Party, or mediocre episodes with moments we would like to forget, like April in Quahog or It's Me Peter. This may not be a great episode, but it's a good thing to watch if you need to turn off your brain and de-stress if you're having a dull or bad day.
It inspired me with so many ideas for other kinds of shows that could have bottle episodes like this where Brian and Stewie do random things in 1 room for 28 minutes. It's like that movie Saw where Adam and Lawrence did random things in 1 room for 100 minutes, but much less violent. Although Brian and Stewie itself doesn't shy away from disgusting or violent moments, it's a lot more downplayed than Fresh Heir and Herpe the Love Sore.
For all its disgusting moments, it's a surprisingly sweet story at its core, and the episode excels at telling a 28-minute story with no music or cutaways the would detract from the experience. They argue, they do dangerous fun things together, and they confess their feelings for each other. That's the least I can say without spoiling any details. It's still less impressive than Road to Rhode Island or Crimes and Meg's Demeanor, but another episode I can leave feeling happy at the end even when the plot is minimal, kind of like Frink Gets Testy.
By the way, this isn't the 150th Family Guy episode. It's only the 146th.
