Line 133:
** This Troper has a deep loathing of Brian in this episode, namely from him nonchalantly raiding that family's house for food and promptly killing the father and leaving his wife and child to rot. And the ending, where he convinces everyone they only need one gift. Assuming they literally get only ONE from any person it eliminates the "giving" part of the holiday and leaves behind the ugly "receiving" part. This Troper now wants a real life [[Dartboard of Hate]] of Brian.
** Okay, we can all agree that Quagmire chewing out Brian that one time was pretty damn [[Crowning Moment of Awesome|cool]], if not very subtle, but did we really need to see a repeat performance of that crap in ''Road to the North Pole''? We get it, Quagmire hates Brian. But watching him shit on an obviously repentant person who made an honest mistake was just painful and stupid.
* "New Kidney In Town": After Peter drinks a Red Bull replacement concocted with kerosene after Lois got rid of his supply of the real thing, he has kidney failure and has to go on dialysis treatments to stay alive. He skips an appointment one day, and now he's gonna die if they can't find a donor. [[Creator's Pet|Guess who]] offers Peter one of his kidneys. Yes Brian. The episode is such a giant [[Rescued from the Scrappy Heap]] attempt it's sickening. Peter, who is one more episode like Family Gay or Family Goy from becoming a [[Complete Monster]] is going to be saved by Brian, who would willing lay down his life to save him. [[Jesus Christ|Hmm, wonder where they got the idea]]? Yep, they tried to make Brian, the worst thing to happen to Atheism since Stalin, into the Jesus of Atheists. Except the Son of [[Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal|Athe]] would still be likable! The rest of the episode has the family talking to Brian like his loss (he's a seven year old dog who smokes and drinks by the by) is gonna be like the death of Mother Teresa..and in the end... it doesn't f$$king matter. A hobo dies and the Doctor says, "Oh, we couldn't use your kidneys anyway because you're a dog".
*** This troper stopped watching "Family Guy" some time ago, but to be honest, I'm not a big fan of Mother Teresa (due to her refusal to medicate her patients, allow secular knowledge to reach her patients and fellow nuns, and her habit of [[Kick the Dog|punishing her patients for doing things she didn't like]]), so this didn't really bother me. That being said, I hated this episode; like the above troper said, Brian is one of the worst things to happen to atheists in a long time, and the writers are so desperate to make him likable again that it's painful.
**** Replace Stalin with [[Ayn Rand]] and you can count me in as well. While still thinking that ''Road To The North Pole'' is the worst overall episode, I must say this episode contains the biggest singular DMoS ever in the end, which makes every attempt to save the episode vane, along with turning the doctor into a big [[Jerkass]] after portraying him as sympathetic and professional during the episode.
