Family Guy

You guys ever seen Family Guy?

The question should be,

"Who hasn't seen Family Guy?"

The Civity Creeps.

It seems today
That all you see
Is violence in movies
And sex on TV.
But where are those good old fashioned values
On which we used to rely?
Lucky there's a Family Guy!
Lucky there's a man who
Positively can do
All the things that make us
Laugh and cry!
He's a Family Guy!

The jokes are pure genius even though they are stupid. Like...

Chris: Dad, what's the blow-hole for?
Peter: I'll tell you what it's not for, son. And when I do, you'll understand why I can never go back to Sea World.

It's just like wtf?

Most of the show's jokes are more there to provoke a WTFH response lol.

O no, o no, o no!

KoolAid guy: O YEA!!!!! xDD

It has a very wonderful sense of timing and knows exactly when to suddenly segue to a side joke. In many ways, it's the cartoon equal of Monty Python's Flying Circus because the plot or arc of a particular story can sometimes go through so many twists and turns that the end result doesn't quite add up and yet on some level still does.

Take care all.

poor mans simpsons.

Nah Simpsons is more of a ironic funny more than WTF funny =/ Plus Simpsons is kinda declining lately.

I wouldn't say it's declining, but if it is, it's comprehensible... I mean, for instance, Bart's been 10 for about 20 yrs or so... anyway, both shows r equally funny, but with different kinds of humor.

There was an episode where Chris went into witness protection, and Brian jumped into a closed car window with Peter in it. Peter sat there for a whole minute just saying things like "Bryyyyan", or "wake up sleepy head".

To this day, that is one of the funniest things I have ever seen.

yea i loved that 1 but i would only hope i didnt get FBI agents as stupid as they were if i got assigned to witness protection lol

Great show. I can't wait for the new episodes that'll be shown on Fox in March...here's Season 4's episode list that they have in the works:

Season 4
51. 4-1 North by North Quahog
52. 4-2 Fast Times at Buddy Cianci High
53. 4-3 Don't Make Me Over
54. 4-4 Blind Ambition
55. 4-5 Stewie B. Goode (1)
56. 4-6 Bango Was His Name Oh (2)
57. 4-7 Stu & Stewie's Excellent Adventure (3)
58. 4-8 The Cleveland-Loretta Quagmire
59. 4-9 Petarded
60. 4-10 Brian the Bachelor
61. 4-11 8 Simple Rules for Buying My Teenage Daughter
62. 4-12 Breaking Out Is Hard to Do
63. 4-13 Model Misbehavior

the best gag, according to me, is in that episode where Chris gets concerned with his weight, and they all go to the pool for some reason, and it's like:

employee: I'm sorry mam, u can't park ur van there.
Lois: It's not a van, it's my son!
employee: oh... OH! I'm sorry...

Thanks a lot for that info, White Raven. I assume that it'll take some time to reach the UK, but it's nice to know what to expect from the new series. :)

Family Guy's humour can sometimes be a little bit too risky (When you Wish Upon a Weinstein being a good example of this) but has provided plenty of great laugh-out-loud moments. As it tries not to bog itself down in plotting, as The Simpsons can do on occasion, it is free to explore a greater range of jokes, which makes it the better show in my view. Its warped view of reality gives it far more scope for comedy, with each show essentially being a series of sketches. The Captain's comparison to Monty Python is pretty accurate.
