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?

Ferris Bueller's Day Off, in that movie its Cameron staring at the painting.

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

Jasonf, that one baffles me, too!

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!
