1
I can't believe they're brainwashing kids like Chris to serve in the military.
2
Ah, yes, the bottom ten percent of our high school class is off to fight another battle.
3
You stole that from The Onion.
4
What?
5
You stole that.
6
I read that in The Onion about the war in Iraq.
7
Well, if that's true, then I'd say they've got some sharp cookies over at the, uh...
8
What is it again?
9
The Onion?
10
So, if I go up to your room right now, I'm not gonna find a copy of The Onion, right?
11
No. Ow, dammit!
12
That's what I thought.
13
Muriel!
14
Oh yeah, like she's gonna answer you, Tom.
15
And here we go with the attitude.
16
This is why you're single.
17
Oh, so I'm not supposed to point out when you do something stupid?
18
You hear that?
19
Hear that tone you're using?
20
That's penis repellent right there.
21
Careful.
22
She could be hiding behind any one of these statues.
23
Muriel, this is Tom Tucker from the Channel 5 News.
24
Perhaps you'd like an autograph.
25
Oh, for God's sake, do you hear yourself?
26
There it is.
27
SSSSSSS Now get off!
28
Alright, shouldn't be too hard to get ourselves kicked out.
29
Right.
30
We've just gotta convince them we're not army material.
31
Ready?
32
Alright, let's do it.
33
Mmmmm!
34
Wow look at how gay we are!
35
I am so gay with my gayness!
36
Me too!
37
I'm, I'm a homo!
38
Any room for one more?
39
Hell yeah!
40
Wow, this is the future?
41
Everything looks slicker.
42
Hey, Lois, I found some double-sided tape.
43
I think I can do about seven minutes worth of funny stuff with it.
44
That should get us to the Meg kissing booth story.
45
Well, things have gotten kind of lazy, huh?
46
Hey, Peter, thanks for letting me borrow your screwdriver set.
47
You know, I just want to say how nice it is to be back here with y'all on Spooner Street.
48
Oh, I guess things didn't work out in Virginia.
49
Chris, I heard you got a D on your report card.
50
Here's a cutaway.
51
Matthew McConaughey is terrible.
52
Good Lord, what's happened to us?
53
Okay, maybe things seem a little off, but other than that, the world seems okay.
54
Which proves my point.
55
Me stopping 9-11 led to a world that's just fine.
56
Well, I'll see you all tomorrow.
57
Ryan, you might want to look outside.
58
Oh my god!
59
AAAAAAAH!
60
AAAAAH!
61
Ho ho!
62
Pebble in my shoe!
63
Pebble in my shoe!
64
Pebble in my shoe!
65
Nice work, Bri.
66
Whoops.
67
Alright, can we go now? Did that do it?
68
Did we restore the past?
69
Well, let's check.
70
9...11.
71
Oh, there it is!
72
We did it, Brian!
73
We made 9-11 happen!
74
High five!
75
All right!
76
High five!
77
Well, that probably wouldn't look very good out of context.
78
So, what are we hauling, good buddy?
79
Oh, I got a flock of birds that were too tired to fly back north.
80
Boy, this is the way to do it, huh, Jerry?
81
Sure is.
82
Think this makes us lazy?
83
Nah, we're still in the V-shape.
84
I'm how long do you think we've been driving?
85
I don't know I've lost track besides dogs don't have a
86
good sense of time could be three hours could be three years I don't know
87
but we must be pretty far north by now.
88
Yeah, you're right.
89
Look.
90
There's the Aurora Borealis Yes, and there's the Aurora Boreanus hi there things are kind of beautiful up north, huh?
91
And he needs our help.
92
Don't worry, Santa.
93
We'll make sure there's a Christmas this year.
94
Thank you, Brian.
95
That brings me peace in this hour.
96
I'll be with Allah soon.
97
What?
98
Uh, he doesn't know what he's saying.
99
He's delirious.
100
Look, you better get moving.
101
All right, Stewie, let's go get the sleigh ready.
102
Is anyone else a little freaked out by that Allah thing?
103
Never mind that.
104
Let's just get going.
105
Try and do it, I guess.
106
Hey.
107
Hey, fella.
108
Um, okay.
109
Bye!
110
Oh, bitch.
111
He's still alive.
112
All right, tie him up.
113
I'm going to make it look like a burglary.
114
Stewie, come on.
115
You don't know how to use that thing.
116
Oh, really?
117
What if I held it sideways like a black guy?
118
Whoa, whoa, come on, man.
119
Take it easy, all right?
120
I don't want any trouble.
121
Brian, can I give you money and you write me a check
122
so I can order something from this Abercrombie and Fitch catalog?
123
What do you want to order?
124
Oh, wait, let me guess.
125
Him.
126
Ha-ha!
127
He got you, Stewie!
128
Well, um, if it were you, you would take the magazine and you'd put it on the floor
129
and pee on it because you're a dog and you're stupid and you have a weird toenail halfway up your elbow.
130
Nice comeback.
131
Jeez, that one was all over the place.
132
I should have been quicker than that.
133
I should have said, really, why would I order your ex-boyfriend?
134
And then I'd go like this.
135
Ah, that's so good!
136
Goodbye, Stewie.
137
Goodbye, Brian.
138
Maybe our paths will cross again someday.
139
Ah, look at him go.
140
Free in a world of his own kind, where he can finally reach the full potential...
141
Oh, my God!
142
He got hit by a car!
143
What's going on over there?
144
Looks like a student rally.
145
They probably forgot to study for an exam, so they organized a protest.
146
In the 90s, you just pull a fire alarm.
147
Now you hold a protest.
148
That is, when they're not looking down at their phones.
149
If you don't want to get fired, don't become a teacher, right?
150
Totally!
151
You should tweet that!
152
Hashtag fire everyone!
153
Viva la Stul!
154
Huh.
155
I guess I could fire up my account again.
156
All right, open app.
157
Got a bunch of those, no biggie.
158
Type in tweet.
159
Blast off in three, two, one, and tweeted.
160
I am back in the game.
161
See?
162
Oh, you're gone.
163
And the crowd is gone.
164
And the animators are gone.
165
Hello.
166
As you all know, I'm Brian Griffin.
167
Boo!
168
Boo!
169
Brian Griffin!
170
Boo!
171
I want to read a few words...
172
Boo!
173
Liar!
174
Boo!
175
Brian Griffin!
176
Boo!
177
Anyway, I want to...
178
Boo!
179
Apologize somewhere else!
180
Boo!
181
Boo!
182
O'Brien, boo!
183
Ladies and gentlemen, I'm here today to apologize.
184
Why did you say ladies first?
185
That's sexist.
186
It's just a standard greeting.
187
Let me start over.
188
Gentlemen and ladies...
189
Boo, says the man.
190
Okay, sorry, I...
191
Humans in the audience.
192
I identify as a basketball.
193
Humans and basketballs.
194
I'm a parrot who mimics words but doesn't comprehend them.
195
Humans, basketballs, talking parrots, and whatever else is out there.
196
Whatever?
197
It's whoever.
198
Actually, it's whomever.
199
No one likes you, Mary.
200
All right, all right, just calm down, okay?
201
Now you're tone policing us.
202
That makes me uncomfortable.
203
Anything that makes me uncomfortable in 2017 should be illegal.
204
You know what?
205
I'm not a racist, all right?
206
I just told a bad joke.
207
There's a huge difference, but nobody on the Internet ever takes the time to ask themselves, is this worth freaking out over?
208
Or are there bigger problems in the world than this tweet?
209
Well, I assure you, there are.
210
And just for the record, I love black people.
211
I watch tons of black porn.
212
So what do you all want from me?
213
Huh?
214
You want to ruin my life?
215
Then congratulations, you did it.
216
Everybody hates me.
217
I can't leave the house without getting harassed.
218
No one will hire me.
219
That was a problem before.
220
I can't turn on my phone without strangers telling me to kill myself or that they're going to kill my family.
221
Leave me alone.
222
I'm the self-righteous liberal douchebag, not you.
223
I've kissed a transsexual before.
224
How many of you could say that?
225
Where's my medal?
226
I am so far left, I'm spinning in circles, you .
227
Instead of killing myself, I should kill all of you.
228
I'd like to see you try.
229
What the fuck is going on?
230
Ow!
231
Jeez.
232
Boom.
233
Damn it.
234
Dad, look!
235
Oh, my God!
236
Meg, we're saved!
237
Thank God you found us!
238
We're so glad you picked us up!
239
Chris O'Donnell?
240
That's right, and I hope you like turbulence, dildos.
241
The actual Chris O'Donnell is not a Coast Guard helicopter pilot.
242
We assume he's probably too short.
243
Oh, by the way, there's a baby in my preschool with HIV, and my teacher gave you something to sign to get him kicked out.
244
Hey, Chris!
245
There's my big smart son, my special guy, my Chrissy.
246
Sounds like someone got her vibrator working again.
247
Oh, look out, everyone.
248
Double-digit IQ joining the table.
249
Hey, Smarty, think fast.
250
He knows.
251
He knows it's hot because he's smart.
252
I don't want to talk to you guys.
253
You called me an idiot.
254
Oh, Chris, you must have just misheard us.
255
I was standing right there.
256
How's that possible?
257
Because you're an idiot, that's how.
258
Peter!
259
I'm going to school!
260
This one's called Camp Helmet.
261
This one's called Camp Sit and Stay.
262
These camps don't sound fun at all.
263
Well, Chris, camp is only as fun as you make it.
264
That's how it was in World War II.
265
Don't suppose it would help to say I have a note from my doctor.
266
Get in there, you.
267
Hey, this one looks cool.
268
Space camp.
269
Spend a week doing intensive math and science, learning from real astronauts.
270
Space camp?
271
I'm sorry, that one must have accidentally gotten in with the rest of them.
272
What are you saying?
273
That I'm too stupid for it?
274
Chris, we're over here.
275
What are you saying?
276
That I'm too stupid for it?
277
No, no, of course not.
278
Then this is the camp I choose.
279
Yay!
280
I get to go to space camp!
281
Thanks, Mom and Dad!
282
You guys are the best parents ever!
283
Would you excuse me a moment?
284
These are mine now.
285
Hey, Brian, check it out.
286
Meg's poking around the cargo hold.
287
I'm gonna give her a little scare.
288
Chris, if you think it'll help, just try it.
289
Oh, we're slowing down.
290
That's a good sign.
291
You know what's not slowing down?
292
Breaking bad.
293
Haven't seen anything like it since The Wire.
294
Cody never shuts up about those shoes.
295
Oh, my God.
296
I think it might be working.
297
We're spinning out.
298
Chris, what are you doing?
299
Saving our lives.
300
Oh, I wish he hadn't said that.
301
Now I'm kind of rooting against him.

Lewis, what are you doing?
333
I want to sleep in your bed.
334
Oh, good night, honey.
335
I love you.
336
This is for your own good.
337
Lois, wh-wh-where are you going?
338
Lois?
339
Lois?
340
Lois, answer me!
341
Damn you, I will not be ignored!
342
Get back in here!
343
Get back in here and love me!
344
Aaaaaaah!
345
Lois!
346
Maybe I should go in.
347
He's so upset.
348
He's just being melodramatic.
349
You've got to ignore it if you really want to help him.
350
Are you flexing?
351
What?
352
Me?
353
No. Why would I be flexing?
354
I mean, I have sort of been hitting the gym, so if you wanted to see how it's going...
355
GADOOS!
356
Dad, where have you been?
357
I've been waiting for over an hour.
358
Grab some wood there, bub.
359
Daddy and his friends have been drinking.
360
And we're gonna keep on drinking until we each uncover repressed memories of sexual abuse by a trusted religious official.
361
Oh, that's crazy talk.
362
Oh, my God.
363
Minister Washington, how could you?
364
Man, look at all these chicks.
365
Oh, wow.
366
Wow, if I were a woman, I would press my bare boobs up against glass in public just for the sexual thrill!
367
THE SEXUAL THRILL!
368
Ah, how do I stop?
369
Use the rubber stoppers on the front.
370
Hey, baby, how'd you like to share a pair of skates?
371
Sure.
372
Ah, never mind.
373
Look at all these Hummers.
374
What kind of jerk would drive one of those?
375
Dude, this car kicks ass, and I can watch Madagascar while I'm driving!
376
What kind of music do you like, Gloria?
377
Hippo-hop.
378
Ha ha ha ha dude those animals are so funny they make me want to merge without looking Yeah, rumsfeld!
379
What's up y'all?
380
I'm sergeant extreme and I'm major awesome.

We're here to tell you how much the army kicks ass.
382
Check this out.
383
What can the US Army do for you?
384
The U.S.
385
Army.
386
Aw, yeah.
387
Your experience may differ.
388
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
389
What's up, party people?
390
Ah, what the hell are these things?
391
Curtains or something boring?
392
Holy smoke, it's crowded in here.
393
Hey!
394
Yeah, that's terrific.
395
That opens up the whole room.
396
Peter, there you are.
397
Where the hell have you been?
398
I've been worried sick.
399
Oh, so I had a few Red Bulls.
400
Drove to New York.
401
What's the big deal?
402
Hey, here's my little man!
403
John!
404
Wow, Dad, that was pretty cool.
405
Can I try some Red Bull?
406
I'm gonna get you to try some Red Bull.
407
Chris, I'd take it as an insult if you didn't.
408
Here you go, have some cans.
409
One, two, three, four, five, one.
410
Take up, take up, take up, take up, take up, take up, take up, take up!
411
That's what Woody Woodpecker says.
412
All right, I'm gonna go outside and milk the cow.
413
Whatever.
414
Hey, Vinnie, you want to see a puppet show?
415
They all got leather jackets.
416
God, what a jerk.
417
This guy thinks he's sticking around.
418
He's sorely mistaken.
419
I'm going to ruin him, just like I ruined that magician's act.
420
People, people, people.
421
This man drives a Saturn.

Real-Life Dialogue: Humor and Conflict in Everyday Chats
The video captures a lively, sarcastic conversation between characters navigating family dynamics, social awkwardness, and quick-witted banter—scenarios that mirror real-life interactions. From teasing about relationship statuses to deflecting accusations, the dialogue is packed with natural speech patterns, slang, and cultural references, making it perfect for english speaking practice. Whether you’re learning to handle playful arguments or casual small talk, this exchange teaches you how to sound authentic in informal settings.
Useful Chunks & Collocations to Master
- "penis repellent": A humorous way to describe a tone or behavior that drives others away (e.g., "Her constant complaining is total penis repellent").
- "bottom ten percent": Refers to the lowest-performing group (e.g., "The bottom ten percent of the class needs extra support").
- "things didn't work out": A common phrase for failed plans or relationships (e.g., "I moved back because things didn't work out in the city").
- "sharp cookies": Describes intelligent, clever people (e.g., "The team at that startup are sharp cookies").
- "get ourselves kicked out": To intentionally cause others to remove you (e.g., "We acted rowdy to get ourselves kicked out of the party").
These phrases are used in context, so memorizing them helps you speak more fluently without overthinking grammar. They’re also great for understanding cultural humor, a key part of improving english pronunciation and comprehension.
Your Shadowing Challenge: Mimic the Sarcasm and Rhythm
The shadowing technique is a proven way to boost pronunciation and fluency. Here’s your task: Pick a 30-second clip from the video (try the part where characters argue about "penis repellent" or "sharp cookies"). Play the clip, pause, and repeat each line immediately, matching the tone, speed, and emphasis. Focus on the sarcastic delivery—raise your voice for jokes, slow down for dramatic pauses. Do this 5 times, then record yourself. Compare it to the original. This exercise trains your mouth to move like a native and helps you internalize natural speech patterns. For more practice, use a shadowing site to find similar dialogues, but start with this video—it’s a fun way to learn english with youtube while mastering real-world communication.
Grammar in this video
The structures the speaker uses most, with the exact words from the video:
| Structure | In the video |
|---|---|
| Conditional sentences if + clause, will/would + verb — a condition and its result | if that's true, then I'd say · if it were you, you would take · if you think it'll help |
| Present perfect continuous have/has been + -ing — an action that started earlier and is still going on | we've been driving · I've been waiting · have been drinking |
| Present perfect have/has + past participle — a past action that still matters now | have gotten · I've lost · I've kissed |
| Advice with “should” should + verb — saying what is a good idea | shouldn't be · should get · should have |
What is the Shadowing Technique?
Shadowing is a science-backed language learning technique originally developed for professional interpreter training and popularized by polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. The method is simple but powerful: you listen to native English audio and immediately repeat it out loud — like a shadow following the speaker with just a 1–2 second delay. Unlike passive listening or grammar drills, shadowing forces your brain and mouth muscles to simultaneously process and reproduce real speech patterns. Research shows it significantly improves pronunciation accuracy, intonation, rhythm, connected speech, listening comprehension, and speaking fluency — making it one of the most effective methods for IELTS Speaking preparation and real-world English communication.
