Seth MacFarlane leaves me dead inside. His animated shorts (and indeed, every cutaway gag on Family Guy) all come off as haphazardly-constructed "what if?" scenarios that are only mildly amusing due to their non sequitur nature, but they never have any meaningful connection to the story or comedy overall (talking more specifically about Family Guy here). It's similar to when they talk about Star Wars in Kevin Smith movies.
South Park portrayed the writers for Family Guy as manatees that push random pool balls with ideas written on them into a hole and built the episode based off of the ideas that the pool balls that went in the hole have on them.
Witch's Brew is an exercise in non sequitur nonsense to an extreme degree. We give no pretense of overarching story to which we then subsequently abruptly break off from!
...Or do we? Perhaps if you read the comic more closely, you will see a pattern emerge in the madness, a sequence of seemingly disjointed events coming together to yield a greater truth!!
...Or maybe it's just a collab comic designed to be fun to make and ridiculously impossible to make sense of for the average reader.
To me, it's not the non-sequitur style of humor. It's that I honestly do not know where the humor is. There are no jokes in Family Guy aside from cutaway gags and those gags have no punchlines, the above is just them saying, "what if there was a horse in a bar while people were telling a horse joke?" It just makes me so depressed that Seth McFarlane is paid so much for that kind of crap.

In my opinion the kids obviously just ate a crate of chocolate and the kids watch was the catalyst that set off the sugar rush...
