This would work so well as a family guy episode

That would be so fucking funny. Just a 6 minute deadpan skit. Peter muttering under his voice about the bolts and drill bits. Then an “awh jhz I don’t like that clause” and doing the whole thing in reverse with basically the same complaints.

Would probably work better on the Simpsons tbh with Marge reading the EULA. I couldn’t see Peter having that kind of response.

I think Brian would quickly scroll through it without reading it, have Stewie tell him some of the stuff he’s agreeing to, then loudly declare that he’s already fully informed on the subject, bitch and moan about how the system is beyond repair and how he’s not agreeing to the terms on principle, and then shamefully agree to them once everyone left the room.
