Had this been a "Family Guy" bit, it would have just been a random "this is worse than the time they blah blah Apes blah musical blah". But what makes this work in context is, this is just the sort of production that Troy McClure would have been suited for in his triumphant return.
I'd like to add:
- combining Planet of the Apes, Stop the World, and Rock Me Amadeus is way more inspired than most Family Guy mashups
- likewise for "you've finally made a monkey out of me"
- Phil Hartman > Seth MacFarlane
This also has about twenty times the animation quality of Family Guy. The FG flashback would have had everyone standing at 3/4 profile with occasional hand animation ending in a sloppily animated punch.
I don't know if it's intentional, but I love how Troy's prop gun just looks like a cheap piece of cardboard with no detail. Also, his hands going up the piano when the notes are going down.
