With the Simpsons, I think it had to be Kang. It's not like Bart ever met Kang before this (since every Halloween story is stand alone), but the fact that we know what Kang is like made it funny. Seeing Homer and Marge destroy the house cracked me up. Treehouse has done movie parodies before, but usually they have some kind of sci-fi aspect, this one didn't. Heck House was actually kind of frightening, particularly seeing what happened with Apu and Burns.
I think MacFarlane just liked talking to people who had no idea who he is. It was pretty funny, particularly the David Hyde Pierce part. And I'm sure he was tempted to laugh when that girl said Meg was the character she identified with the most. They were a little light on the clips, actually, so I was disappointed with that. The Olivia thing would've been cool.
As for the actual episode, it didn't quite give Stewie his bite back, but at least it sort of acknowledged he's gone soft. I think they may end up undoing everything. Heck, a year has passed and Stewie is still going to be a baby, right?
American Dad set up Francine's sister, so they actually were following past continuity, so even though it was a surprise she was adopted, it didn't contradict anything. Another well-plotted episode of AD.
