This episode is just great, where to begin? The lunchroom fight with Chris and Meg goes so hard. It's so cool and they make such a good team. The Brian stuff is good but the social commentary is kind of annoying and feels like Seth is burning straw men. The second half of this episode where Brian is just l big his life is amazing. Seriously, that part perfectly captures how mundane life in the modern day can really be. The use of no music is great. The isle 7 joke? HAHA! That killed. That's good stuff, right there. I'm really high at this moment and the fight with Chris was captivating. Really fun.

It feels like it has a big cliff hanger.

Just seeing Brian depressed at the apartment and then the episode just 'shutting off' after him getting cancelled by his tweet feels off.

It made me anticipate more but, it did not come.

Had a tiny bit of hope thinking this may be a part 1 out of 2 episode but, then.. The next episode is completely unrelated though.

A giant slap at social media and the insanity that surrounds a simple post meant to be a joke (quite often to one's own inner circle). The hysteria by the Political Correct Police and how it potentially ruins lives is brought to the forefront here. Seth MacFarlane is delving deeper into the crazy witch hunt mentality of the world and trying to bring attention to it. I laughed a lot during the 30 minutes, but also wanted to cry at the reality of this episode's plot.

Social media can be a great thing and it can be an absolutely terrible thing. Tonight's episode of Family Guy forgot about its left-wing bias for a second and showed how both sides tend to overreact in times of crisis. They gave a poignant commentary on Twitter mobs and the damage they can cause.

The ending felt odd, but let's see how they follow-up on this. It's been too long since Family Guy had a carryover story so I am interested in how they handle it.

Better than most this season, original and creative, but still a far cry from the glory days of the show.

This episode could not have been more on point.

People are so weird and crazy online in 2017, that every little thing on social media turns into a disaster. People are sharing people's personal info. to destroy their jobs, lives, families, and even trying to have them killed!!! -- simply because they posted something stupid or offensive, or disagreeable to other people?!?!?!?! I have even witnessed this personally, with people threatening you over a comment about someone's TV show, sexuality, guns, politics, crossdressers, and everything under the sun! People are narcissistic idiots today!!

This episode was really great, and the fight scenes with Freebird in the background were hilarious-- some of the best animation I've ever seen on a comedy show.

THis is the comeback kid episode I had been waiting for from Family Guy, and they DELIVERED!!!

"I don't identify as a human. I identify as a basketball." LMAO

This twitter apartment arc is loads better than the Emmy-Winning episode! I didn't appreciate the social commentary about taking jokes on the internet too seriously that all of you were buzzing about until the 3rd time I watched this episode, but it really is more interesting to watch the 3rd time than it is the 1st and 2nd time because only at that time do you really get it, and it reminds me a lot of the admirable Fillmore episode Test of the Tested. In a time where a lot of Emoji Movie haters blow it out of proportion to make its problems seem like as serious of a real-world issue as Screams of Silence: The Story of Brenda Q. (except for the Nostalgia Critic who's seen worse from Little Nicky), we really needed this episode to tell us why we shouldn't complain about 1 little bad mistake instead of facing other more serious problems in our world.

I'm glad that Family Guy finally found something new and interesting to do with Brian for more media attention that wasn't killing him off and replacing him with a new dog like they did 4 years ago, and they actually did a lot more with this than they did with Vinnie. When you watch the other episodes, this feels more like the Vinnie arc without the Brian killing and Vinnie replacing him. Even though Brian isn't one of my most favorite characters, I still thought he made some really good points like "Aren't there bigger problems in the world than this tweet?" I also liked the other interesting story lines they did with Brian in Apartment 23 in the next 2 episodes when they could have just ignored him. All 3 of these episodes also learned from Brian's a Bad Father's mistakes by having Brian face the consequences of his inappropriate mistake and egotistical behavior alienating others for more than 1 episode and needing him to do more for forgiveness before he can move back. The last 3 minutes of this episode were very meaningful as they show Brian settling in to his new apartment life, and while the episode takes 5 minutes to start and 5 minutes to end the main conflict, the other 11 minutes in between were so riveting that they almost feel like the entire running time when you actually watch it.

But like some episodes of South Park, just what they did with it in the 2nd half was blah. Great set up...with no pay off.

Better than some Family Guy episodes that are just unwatchable. This one was just boring. I guess they needed something to get Brian out of the house for a few episodes etc??

If you're a fan of Family Guy, then you probably have watched a part of this episode on Instagram. Bryan stands in front of people who have crowded around their house to give a speech and they constantly jump in the middle of his sentences. The whole episode is great, and it's one of a few ones which I recommend all people to watch it. Actually, I think it has an idea which can be used in other shows too. For example, Rick and Morty can use the idea in further episodes. Social media is a B and you can't even tell a joke on it. I have seen The B in Apartment 23 series and I must tell you that there is absolutely no reference to it except the name.

I personally think this episode needs changes with a crossover episode with Family Guy, American Dad and King of the Hill.

Chris Griffin, Dale Gribble, Hayley Smith, Francine Smith, Roger Smith and Bobby Hill gets kicked out of Arlen, Langley Falls and and Quahog after posting a bad tweet.

I truly believe this episode will defiantly need a new plot to the storyline.

The Smart Family approaches the Dumb Family and asks them to remove the tweet, but Dale and the others refuse to do so. Chris and his friends, wanting to avoid confrontation, decide to go to the movies. Meanwhile, Dale and Roger come up with an idea for the Dumb Family to use the controversy to gain fame instead of deleting the tweet. However, their plan backfires, leading to an angry mob chasing them to the Griffin house.

Brian and the Smart Family, fueled by their frustration, burst into the house, confronting the Dumb Family. Peter, Stewie, Olivia, Jillian, Joe, Quagmire, Cleveland, Connie, Pouncey, Diane, Stan, Steve, Debbie, Hank, Bill, Boomhauer, and Luanne recount the incidents that occurred at their respective workplaces, schools, and relationships, all of which were negatively affected by the tweet.

The Smart Family shares their grievances:

Stan was dismissed from the CIA.

Steve and Debbie had confrontations with students at Peril Bailey High.

Hank had conflicts with his co-workers.

Bill was removed from his military barber job.

Luanne faced rejection from Lucky in their relationship.

Overwhelmed with anger and disappointment, the Smart Family demands that Dale, Bobby, Roger, Hayley, Francine, and Chris apologize to the public. This further infuriates the Smart Family, Dale and the others denies it and insisted it was a joke but Hank and the others didn't buy it.

Hank, Bill, Boomhauer, Luanne, Stan, Steve, Debbie, Peter, Joe, Cleveland, Quagmire, Connie, Diane, Pouncey, Stewie, Brian, Olivia and Jillian the members of the Smart Family confront Dale, Bobby, Roger, Hayley, Francine and Chris the members of the Dumb Family, threatening them with consequences if they refuse to apologize. However, instead of offering a sincere apology, the six individuals snap and react with defiance. Despite the threat, the Dumb Family still fails to take responsibility for their actions, resulting in a physical altercation that leaves them knocked out.

To ensure their safety and avoid further conflict, the Smart Family decides to exile Dale, Hayley, Francine, Chris, Roger, and Bobby from Arlen, Langley Falls, and Quahog. With nowhere else to go, Chris and the other five members of the Dumb Family find temporary shelter in an apartment, contemplating their actions and the consequences they now face.
