It’s a very common spot to crash. I’ve had it happen countless times. Super frustrating. I’m thankful we play the game with auto save enabled, something that wasn’t being done when I ran due to it being “slower”, but with the discovery of character warps it’s now the faster method of running. Without auto save there is truly no way to recover a run, it hurts so bad. I almost quit speedrunning this game several times because I would have days where I spent 6 hours doing attempts, all getting to the 20 min mark and then crashing on spooner street. It’s the worst 😂
I hated this game so much as a teenager when it came out that I ran it over with my car to destroy it. It was mostly the Brian stealth parts that did it. I hate forced stealth.
Could have had something to do with the fact that its ugly, even more unfunny than your average family guy episode, not any fun to play normally, and very badly made
Damn this game has such surprisingly good textures and just the rendering in general. I grew up with a hundred and one different 3D video games based off of 2D cartoons between 2000 to now and this game seems to pull it off so well compared to other titles
The Simpsons Hit and Run imo does it better and keeps the character models closer to the course material but the family guy video game still does it well.
@@thenewmev.2077Honestly the Family Guy game seems like a mix of the original Simpsons Hit and Run game and the recent modded SHR textures. Mainly because it stays mostly true to the shows color scheme.
I recommend trying the other Family Guy game, Back To The Multiverse. I've had so much fun on there and it's the first game I've gotten all the achievements on.
@@femmemachete sorry for being comprehensive brother my bad. Was just displaying some love for one of the best ps2 games ever released imo. What’s one of your favourite ps2 games?
Finding this video was a nice surprise. I love this game and truly believe it’s the greatest to speedrun. Someday I’ll be back. Thank you EZ! I would not have started running this game when I did if you hadn’t done your runs. This was a childhood game of mine and you reminded me how much I loved it back then. I’m so happy with how far the game has come. I never thought we’d be able to go so fast.
I had this game as a kid and accidentally did the out of bounds glitch during one of the Brian sections. I was very confused, but brushed it off as a one-off freak accident lol. Wild to see 15 years later that not only is there a speedrunning community for this game, but also that out of bounds glitches are a known thing and actually used in runs
My husband just walked by and heard, “… saves a lot of time in the testicles.. the testicles is a notoriously difficult section”.. WTF ARE YOU LOOKING AT?!” Lmao
Long story short on Bertram lore, Stewie at one point shrunk down to enter into Peter’s testicles (I think it was to render him infertile out of fear he and Lois would have another kid) and met him as a sperm (basically depicted as a fully developed baby in a sci-fi work uniform), where the two hit it off remarkably well after an extremely even fight to the death. In a later episode, Peter went to a sperm bank and knocked over a bunch of samples while trying to use the bathroom (he closed the door before flipping the light switch and couldn’t find it), forcing him to clean the mess and basically replace the lost samples himself on the spot. Literally the moment Peter left, a lesbian couple came in and ended up using one of his samples to conceive a baby. Thus Bertram was born, retaining his memories of his last meet with Stewie, and the two have been mortal enemies since.
Imagine being one of the game developers/coders for a game and then watching a speedrun. I just imagine them being like: “Oh shit we completely forgot about that.”
I love the humility of showing ToxicPinhead performing all of the advanced [WR] pace strategies that weren't done in your run. Very much so advances the viewing experience. It's like those videos that trended a little while ago. "Easy, Advanced, Expert" and it shows 3 different ways of doing something. You can do the game the normal way, you can do it the speed runner way, or you can go for the world record with every difficult strat done sequentially. You don't really touch often on "the intended way" because the Speedrun features very little ! But the concept still applies I feel. Definitely earned a sub.
I've been learning the FGVG speedrun for a couple years at this point but still suck at it. Luckily the community is very supportive, and I love seeing speedrun videos on the game!
@TheWonkster that's not how it works scientifically. The later is actually correct. Time dilation is very real and the longer you're here the faster it seems.
for a moment, my brain confused family guy with american dad (like the opening speedrun meme) and i was impressed that there was 50 min about that one meme
45:07 I feel like I’m the only one who has this glitch in his copy of this game , where when I beat Bertram in the second phase before the sandbox . instead of going to the sandbox Bertram T poses like which causes me to soft lock, and I’m unable to be the game It’s so annoying.
No better games out there for speed running than licensed platformers. Always have the most insane glitches to save time. Wish that era of gaming would come back lol
This might not be relevant, but I remember when you first ran this game back in the day and the record was over 2 hours. One time in a stream, I asked why anyone would speedrun a game that takes that long and your answer was "because it's fun". I never pictured myself running a long game, but that answer changed my perspective a bit and now I speedrun a game that's 5 hours long haha. I guess I just appreciate you and other content creators for really getting me into speedrunning. Keep doing what you're doing 😁
I use to get a glitch on my ps2 copy on the brian levels that would let me just walk through any walls and I would just go around the building to the end point
My dyslexia flared up again and I thought the title said: "How Speedrunning Ruined My Family". As...interesting as that story would be, this video was pretty good too.

Holy crap I forgot about this game, I played this so much along with the Futurama game and hit+run, the Xbox/ps2 generation was such a wild time for games 🤯
I was obsessed with this game as a kid. I loved the Stewie sections so much, and I must've spent at least 2 hours running around the football field listening to the greased up dude say I'm never going to catch him.
I followed this and now I’m training to speed run this game as my very first ever speed run I’ve been wanting to do one I tried the Peter spooner at hospital glich and jumped on 2 signs instead of the one and got soft locked 😂

Those shooting sections in the hospital and the testicles are more like Centipede than galaga, especially in the testicles with the weird mushroom things
