@@annafowdy Se-- alright, n-- uh, what I don't get is: if they know this guy, why are they surprised by the way he talks? Right? And if they DON'T know him, why is he at the table?
@@zuzumontagueaspic is an unholy and godless creation which is gelatinised meat or fish. The joke is funny because it's referencing the earlier polaners all fruit commercial
They weren't aware that he lacked social graces. The only reason he's in the table with them is probably from a previous acquaintance and they assumed he was "cultured" little did they know that he's a nouveau-riche who made his fortune by accidentally discovering oil in his backyard and had hillbilly backgrounds 😆
This _Family Guy_ gag holds a special place in my heart, given that the brand's founders (Max and Lena Polaner) were my great-great-great-uncle and aunt. So don't you plebs fucking DARE call it jelly!
What's funny is how spot on detail for detail the family guy people put into stuff like this. From Chris being dressed like the actual guy to Stewie laughing like the girl it's spot on brilliant.
The Actor that said Jelly was on Regis and Kathy Lee Show, when they did a weeks show of people from Commercials. Real nice guy. He's also a Opera Singer, and when he was on Regis, he sang in Opera the Would you Please Pass the Jelly Phrase.
Family Guy: Devotes 2/3 of a cutaway to explain the joke to those who were born before the show began. Other shows: If you don’t know the history, you won’t even notice it’s a reference.
I love how perfect this family fits into the commercial, from Babs being the matriarch, Chris and Meg being the siblings with weird sexual tension, and Peter being the bumbling dad who screws everything up by calling it "jelly".
My grandfather died when I was nine, so my memories of him are limited. I do remember use celebrating his birthday at a fancy restaurant for brunch. Most of us were spreading Palmer's All Fruit on our toast. The waiter accidentally referred to All Fruit as "jelly". My grandfather got up and grabbed him and put his jaw against the counter, and, ignoring everyone's pleas, curb stomped him, knocking out nearly all his teeth.
Peter breaking the 4th wall and explaining the joke while also adding commentary is actually a funny joke to me, more than it should be ngl but hey Haven’t seen one of those in a while
Here's what's going on in that commercial. The blonde woman is the widow of the matriarch's late son. She is there with her daughter (matriarch's granddaughter) and her new beau, the jelly guy. The others are shocked by the jelly guy's behavior because it's the first time they've met him. The flirty guy is another of the matriarch's sons and there's long been sexual tension, perhaps even an affair, between him and his late brother's widow.
P.S. Blonde didn't see this coming, and thus was unable to warn them, because in all the relationship, she either has yet to breakfast with the new beau or had previously refrained from offering any foods that might call for addition of this condiment.
0:21 Polaner all fruit is real fruit. Sweetened only with fruit juice. You'll called it delicious, you'll called it remarkable, but please, don't dare called it jelly. polaner all fruit, the spreadable fruit
You see he called it beef jelly. What I don't understand is if they know this guy, why are they surprised by the way he talks? And if they don't know him, why is he at their table?
Okay, while I basically hate this show (and yes, I get that everyone involved is extremely talented and many are super-intelligent), all three parts of that were fabulous. Hat tip to people in the comments of the _actual_ Polaner All Fruit ad for mentioning this; as someone who _is_ old enough to remember the ad itself and who, as previously mentioned, avoids _Family Guy_ like the plague, I might never have known about this very cute bit. And as I leave, I will acknowledge one more time that the writers are often extremely, side-splittingly funny. It's just that the parts of this show I can't stand completely drown that out by being so many kinds of awful. @ me if you like, but just know you aren't going to change my mind because no matter how many great and classic parts you point out for me, they aren't going to erase the aspects or moments that ruined it for me. That's just the nature of things. So wouldn't you rather go be in a comment thread where you might make a real difference? 🤷🏻♀️
Am I the only one who thinks the first time they made the joke would have been funnier if it was CARTER who fainted when the All Fruit was called jelly?
That’s the thing, I’m under 40 (was 29 at the time of this episode) and I remember this commercial being in syndication during the 90s while I was a kid. Always cracked me up 🤣🤣🤣
It's technically fruit spread. Jelly: Jelly is made with strained fruit juice. There are no pieces of fruit in jelly. Jam: Jam is made with mashed fruit. Preserves: Preserves have whole fruit or large pieces of fruit. Some fruits such as blackberries or raspberries will not stay whole during the processing so there may not be much difference between raspberry jam and raspberry preserve. Fruit spreads (only fruit): These are 100% fruit with no sugar added. If needed, a sweet fruit juice such as white grape juice or apple juice may be added. These spreads offer the most amount of pure fruit. In everyday language, its really just semantics. I sometimes call something "jelly" when it's really "jam" but basically people don't usually care what you call it though, unless you're sitting at that table lol
