Family Guy
 

I love family guy. There was a thread for it, but it is in the dead topic repository. Anyone else have thoughts about it?

Edit: Found something you all might like. Peter sings "Can't touch me" http://www.newsfly.org/humormedia/touch.htm

I love Family Guy, especially Stewie and Brian. Peter gets on my nerves sometimes, which is unfortunate since the show mostly focuses on him. Still love the show though.:cool:

Eh... I can derive some humor out of it the first or second time I watch it... but it has no staying power for me, at ALL.

I'm a huge Family Guy fan, but I do think the show has gone downhill somewhat in the last couple of episodes. For those of you who saw it, the "Cartoon Wars" episode of South Park was right on the money with its criticisms of FG's "random, interchangeable jokes that have nothing to do with the plot", but I still love the show despite that.

Did anyone lese die laughing when Brian did the Peanut Butter Banana Dance? :D I thought it was funny... TO THE MAX!

Or maybe not, who knows?

I gotta say that I really like this show. I believe that I've seen all of the old Family Guy episodes that aren't being shown on Fox. I would have to say that I thought all of those were really funny. Though, sometimes the episodes that are shown on Fox aren't as good as the previous ones.

It is true that a lot of the jokes are interchangeable, but then again, that's where the Family Guy people can derive their humor from. With the jokes mostly happening in memories, the creators really have no constraint on where their joke comes from. I also appreciate how the creators come up with some of the stuff for the show. Many times I kinda wonder how the hell they thought to bring a joke into the episode that seemed really off topic.

Like the one episode where Joe is in a helicopter in the sewers and the screen shows an X-Wing type of first person view of Joe shooting Tie Fighters. Seriously, how the hell do you even think of that??

That's nothing compared to some stuff in Robots. Namely, the Brittney Spears thing...

Family Guy is good for laughs. I watch it when I remember it's on, but it's nothing super-special. The jokes are perfect for me, though.

It's good, I own the first, second, and third DVD set, but I haven't watched the new season at all, with the exception of the first episode's chicken fight (genious). The humor fits my style nicely: chaotic. It's not gold all the time, I generally dislike the songs, but I still use lines from the show to this day.

That's right...all the tea....

Really I think that Trey and Matt...well, they probably do hate the show, but I think that they hate more the fact that they're compared to it so often, when they're really in two different spectrums of comedy-approach.

Still, Family Guy is a good show, if only for the constant-deluge strategy they use. You might think a few parts are dull or overplayed out or whatnot, but the sheer influx of jokes means that, simply due to the law of averages, a few to a lot of gold is coming out.

I usually do like Family Guy's completely random humor, especially the second chicken man fighter, but lately...it just doesn't do it. It seems like, in the last season at least, they've been trying so hard to go "Hey! Look how controversial we can be! Look what we can get away with saying!" instead of actually making jokes. Almost like they care more about being offensive than being funny.
