Hey Lois, this is worse than the time I filled in the census 500 times to make sure we kept our second Congressional district.

Idc about the show, but maybe about the family paying off the Census Bureau and who is in control(ironic), because of how surprising this moment was.

Now we know the real reason he needed a Jew, to increase the population of Quahog in the next census.

It's almost like the second most densely populated states in the country, despite being small, and has populations bigger than many other states, legitimately deserves to have 2 congressional seats...

Why on earth would Seth McFarlane care about the minutia of the census?

Years ago, Sneakers O'Toole was given the job of drawing the district lines every 10 years.  But if RI only had one district, then he'd no longer have that privilege of drawing the lines since there'd be no lines to draw, and he'd move to New Hampshire.  Therefore, since the Rhode Island state government is holding out hope of one day getting their hands on O'Toole's sneakers, they fudged the census numbers in order to keep him in the state.

Hey Lois, this is worse than the time I filled in the census 500 times to make sure we kept our second Congressional district.
Quote from: chat with ChatGPT bot
Please complete the following conversation in the style of a cutaway gag from the TV show Family Guy:
Peter: Hey Lois, this is worse than the time I filled in the census 500 times to make sure we kept our second Congressional district.

Lois: Peter, that's ridiculous.

Peter: Yeah, but it worked. We still have it to this day.

(Cutaway to a scene of Peter filling out census forms in a montage-style sequence, set to upbeat music)

Peter (voiceover): I filled out forms for every member of the family, even the dog.

(Cutaway to a close-up of Peter filling out a form with a picture of Brian, the family dog, attached)

Peter (voiceover): I even created fake family members just to make sure we had enough representation.

(Cutaway to a scene of Peter creating a fake family member, complete with a photo and a fake name)

Peter (voiceover): But it was all worth it in the end. Thanks to my persistence, we still have our second Congressional district.

(Cutaway to a scene of Peter and Lois sitting on the couch, with Peter holding a map of their district)

Peter: See Lois, I told you it was worth it.

Lois: Yeah, but now we have to deal with Cousin Frank.

Peter: Oh, right.

(Cutaway to a scene of Cousin Frank, a shady-looking character, sitting on the couch, drinking a beer and eating a sandwich)

Cousin Frank: Hey, what's up?

Peter and Lois: (in unison) Nothing, Frank.

(end scene)

Peter: Hey Lois, this is going to be like that time that BRTD bumped a thread to reply to a Peebs' post on the Talk Elections forum!

Lois: Oh Peter, you and your internet forums.
Peter: Yeah, but this is serious business Lois. BRTD is the king of the political forums and when he bumps a thread, it's like a bull in a china shop.
Peter: Cutaway to BRTD on a forum, wearing a bull costume, charging through a virtual china shop, knocking over threads and sending virtual plates shattering
Lois: Peter, you really need to get a hobby.
Peter: Cutaway to Peter in his basement, surrounded by empty beer cans and a computer screen, frantically typing on a keyboard This is my hobby, Lois!
Lois: Oh, dear.
Peter: Cutaway back to the living room Anyway, I better get back to the forum before I miss any more of the action.
Lois: sigh
