maggiekarp Drugs and AIDs!


I have a theory: Family Guy is funnier past midnite.


Although I must admit I'm hating the greased up deaf guy now, too.

ziggytrix i thought the cookie monster junkie thing was funny for 3 seconds, but the bit with the spoon was, i dunno, like couldn't you guys think of any more drug related humor?

and what is with all the drug references? is macfarlane trying to be edgy by talking about drugs, drugs, drugs?

Yggdrasill I don't like the greased up deaf guy, he was funny the first time but now I can't stand him.

AChimp That monologue was great.

But last night's episode was way better.

EverythingWillSuck Didn't see the one last week. I think it's been pretty funny though, but I hated that monolouge Stewie did on Brian's upcoming novel

Rongi just when i thought family guy went to shit, the best episode of the season comes up

cookie monster junkie, stewie's business, all brilliant

Girl Drink Drunk Man. I loved the Robocop reference.

ScruU2wice so did all the t-shirts and hats that were made from this show.

Krythor I haven't seen any of this season, and only a few episodes of season 3, but Peter laughing at Philadelphia was the absolute highlight of the first season for me.

Also, Stewie outstayed his welcome by the second episode.

Rongi the flashbacks used to be somewhat imaginative. now they're just lazy and end with a "I HAVE AIDS/SMOKE DRUGS/" line
Jul 22nd, 2005 07:13 PM
Command Prompt "so tell me baby is there any tread left on the tires or is it like throwing a hotdog down a hallway" and the "you have AIDS" barbershop quartet completely usurp the golden throne of comedy from the entire first three seasons.

Bob_The_Dark_One The one where Peter discovers e's retarded made me laugh out loud. And the flashback parts are the funniest in my oppinion.

ScruU2wice you really didn't make that apparent in your post.

there is alot more to the structure of the episodes than references and flashbacks. Alot of the jokes family guy did are only funny once or twice because it's not typical of a sitcom. having a chase scene with a chicken for a quarter episode will only be funny once. Flashbacks are funny because they deny you of imagining the joke for yourself.
I'm talking about the jokes fag... I'm pretty aware that you can't make a show out of just flashbacks.

Dr. Boogie What was the deal with the reference to the cheese guy? I recognized the guy and the song and all, but the punchline to that bit was just him saying that he smoked crack. I mean, the cutaway references usually end with some kind of weird line or something, and not some Chapelle's Show-style "I'm high" line.

Esuohlim I like the flashbacks too, mainly because I never fully predict them and it's good that what I expect doesn't happen, or else I would be bored and I wouldn't be still watching it.

Ninjavenom I also liked American Dad, but i would gladly see more Arrested Development if it meant Cancelling American Dad. I'd give up everything Fox has that's animated for more Arrested episodes.

Also, American Dad was not cancelled, it had a pilot run. They made 6 episodes to test the water so they didn't waste money on a full season.
Jul 19th, 2005 10:08 PM
Esuohlim I fucking hate American Dad because people left their TVs on at their Super Bowl parties and knocked about four episodes of Arrested Development out of production and threatened it's cancellation.

Sometimes I wish Seth MacFarlane wasn't late for that plane on 9/11 But then I feel guilty when I think that
Jul 19th, 2005 09:59 PM
Emu It sucked, but it didn't suck THAT bad. Especially by Fox's standards. Compared to the rest of the shit on that channel this show is gold.

american dad sucked, and thats why its not on the air anymore....

Ninjavenom I think it's still great.
Jul 19th, 2005 03:09 PM
N00bKill3R About 80% of the jokes in the show are either flashbacks of references to some obscure movie/sitcom/game usually from the 80's. Seriously I think they are just running out of ideas of what to do with the show... hence the bringing back of old characters and jokes.
Jul 18th, 2005 11:08 PM
Rongi family guy is a lot more than crumby flashback jokes...or it used to be. now it's just lame and trying too hard to be edgy
