Hulu gets a reimagining of three of their top shows on Family Guy season 23 episode 10, "A Real Who's Hulu," which aired on April 27th. The piece gets the same treatment as other anthology episodes, with Peter starting it off inside a study and saying which story will be next. While not particularly exciting, Peter's insight before each segment does lend the Family Guy version a more humorous tone.
"A Real Who's Hulu" is one of season 23's best episodes so far, in my opinion, as it was heavy on Family Guy flair and offered a new perspective on binge-worthy shows. It's not meant to be taken seriously, but rather with a lighthearted and sarcastic tone with some grittiness.
Brian and Stewie were Stevie Martin and Martin Short in Family Guy season 23 episode 10
We start with the Only Murders In The Building spoof. If you don't watch this dramedy, it follows a group of apartment residents with a thirst for true crime and hosts a podcast. As the characters, Stewie, Brian, and Meg go murder-solving, only to wind up with the real killer, who looks a lot like Chris.
Lois is an entrepreneur in The Dropout
Please leave it to Lois and her insatiable charm to sell a product in The Dropout. She creates a machine that can detect which The Sopranos character you are based on a drop of blood. However, Lois and Peter commit fraud to persuade a major pharmacy company to acquire it for its store chain. They're called out by one of the chemists or engineers, and Lois admits her reasoning for her behavior.
I didn't enjoy this segment too much, as I thought it lacked a strong storyline and interest. It came off as predictable and odd. We did get Peter's shenanigans in there, so that makes up for the errors.
Peter has no clue what The Bear is
Does anyone honestly know what The Bear is supposed to be? A comedy? A drama? A romance? We may not know, and neither does Peter. It followed the original premise of The Bear, which is about working in a Chicago restaurant and feeling the pressure of success. Stewie is the food critic, and offscreen, he samples the dishes. It's cute and comical, and had zero cursing, which is surprising, as The Bear is condensed with it.
I loved how the writers injected the late Dennis Farina into the scenes, despite that it's not him talking.
"A Real Who's Hulu" is one of my favorites this season, as anthology seem to work wonders for Family Guy. Sure, it had it snares, but what's the animated comedy without them?
