We Love You, Conrad

"We Love You, Conrad" is the fourteenth episode in the seventh season of the American animated television series Family Guy.

As he tries to move on, he starts dating The Hills star Lauren Conrad and the media begins raving about their relationship.

Drew Barrymore returned as Jillian, and Lauren Conrad and Audrina Patridge guest starred as themselves.

The show's staff was ultimately impressed with her performance, and series creator Seth MacFarlane praised her stamina and how prepared she was before the recording sessions.

The episode also featured live-action sequences with talk show hosts Jay Leno, Craig Ferguson and Jimmy Fallon.

The Griffins learn that Brian's ex-girlfriend, Jillian, is marrying "the perfect man in every aspect", Derek.

During dinner, Brian is upset to find that Derek speaks multiple languages, is a natural athlete and a good masseur and is well endowed.

Against Brian's express wishes, Stewie leaks the relationship onto the Internet, resulting in a media circus and the claim that Lauren is a dumb blonde.

Brian invites her for dinner with the family, where Peter and Meg become interested in her accomplishments while Lois is not fond of her lectures.

[4] John Viener, a writer for Family Guy, provided the voice of Jillian's husband, Derek Wilcox.

[5] Creator Seth MacFarlane told Fox News, "I thought it would be funny to see if we could get [Conrad] to read very, very dense historical documents centering around the second World War, [...] Lauren did one scene where she had to read a paragraph on scientific self-analysis, which I thought was funny.

"[7] Conrad first met MacFarlane while recording a Laguna Beach: The Real Orange County clip for the season five episode "Prick Up Your Ears".

[6] In an interview with People, she revealed that she has no plans on getting into acting, and even calls herself an "awful actor" and admits that she cannot memorize lines.

"[6] Her acting coach advised her to learn the lines ahead of time so that if she seemed like she "really understood what [she] was talking about, it would come through a little more true.

Club praised the live-action footage as well, saying that he "liked the splicing in of late night hosts and their jokes about Brian and [Lauren Conrad], if only to add a certain element of timeliness to the material."

He said that "often Family Guy is unbearable" and "has established a certain style and rhythm, jokes come off as smug", but said that he found himself enjoying the episode "more and more as it went on [...] because it was willing to fully embrace the silliness and ridiculousness of what it was setting up.

[14] The set included brief audio commentaries for most episodes, excluding "We Love You, Conrad", "Stew-Roids", "Quagmire's Baby and "Dog Gone".

The set also included a collection of deleted scenes, behind-the-scenes footage from the production of "Road to the Multiverse" and a Family Guy karaoke featurette.

Lauren Conrad played an exaggerated version of herself, which she proclaimed as being fun to play.
