It's no secret that both shows have not always seen eye-to-eye, with "The Simpsons" even sending "South Park" flowers after their two-episode takedown of "Family Guy." So it only seemed natural that the mega-hyped crossover episode consisted largely of "Family Guy" and "The Simpsons" taking shots at each other.
One awesome sequence even had Homer Simpson calling out Peter Griffin because the latter's favorite beer tasted like (and actually was) Duff beer.
“This beer tastes exactly like Duff!” said Homer. “It may have been inspired by Duff, but I like to think that it goes in a different direction,” argues Peter, obviously making a reference to the fact that "Family Guy" was inspired by "The Simpsons."
Other highlights include:
A bunch of crazy cameos
An epic fight
And this ...
After all was said and done, fans seemed to either love it or totally hate it:
For the record: Family Guy and The Simpsons never crossed over.
It never happened.
No. You had a bad dream.
It’s okay now.
