Family Guy movie reference I don't get#1

Actually, there are a few.. but this one is driving me crazy and I saw it again:

Stewie is in an art museum and stands in front of A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte. Shot of painting, shot of Stewie. Back and forth.. What movie is that from?

I may be wrong, but I think it's Ferris Bueller...

EDIT: Simultaneous posting, but guess I was right :)

It is most definitely Ferris Bueller (my favorite movie ever ha).

Here's a YouTube link of it from the movie:

The one I don't get is in the one where they go looking for the shark man or something, and they pass this guy with REALLY long, bendy arms and who talks in a high-pitched, British rhyming voice (much like the YEEEESSSSSSS guy they often use in the Simpsons). It looks like something out of Monty Python or at least a Terry Gilliam movie -- anyone know what I mean?

OH MY GOD!! How did I not know that?!! I'm ashamed of myself. Thanks for your help.
Do you ever watch FG and you just KNOW they are doing a scene from a movie but you just can't place it? It was driving me crazy!! lol

Is there a picture of the guy with long bendy arms? He sounds like a character in the Find The Fish sequence of MONTY PYTHON'S MEANING OF LIFE, who says "I wonder where that fish has gone! It went wherever I did go!"

I'm 95% that's the Find the Fish character from Monty Python, I'm trying to find the Family Guy clip with it.

EDIT: I found the episode! Fast forward to about 18:30 on the second video. It is definitely a Monty Python reference.

I loved the Stewie run home. My sister and I were cracking up b/c we were both crazed Ferris Bueller fans back in the day.

It is from Meaning of Life - that answers that!
Thanks!
