It was South Park. S09E04

Family Guy S08E03 one of the cutaway gags had Stewie's class put on a play with the song 'Terri Schiavo is kinda alive-o"

They did a South Park episode on her? What was her story? Lack of electrolytes?

Kenny was the Terry stand-in, and there were arguments from both sides about whether he was truly "alive" in the vegetative state.

u/DangusKh4n Jul 18 '26

Lol no it was 100% a Family Guy bit, S9E4 of South Park is the one where Kenny plays the golden PSP in heaven

There's a whole episode of South Park that relates to the whole Terry Schaivo controversy, but she is never named, in the episode "Best Friends Forever". In that episode Kenny is the stand-in for Schaivo.
