but Mexican cleaning lady is and always will be the worst joke theyve ever done, wish they would stop bringing it back.
Are you kidding me?
Just thinking about it is making me laugh, and they only brought it back once, and that was this recent episode.
Mexican cleaning lady is and always will be the worst joke theyve ever done, wish they would stop bringing it back.
Oh, yeah, that character fuckin' sucks. And I know it's gonna be used again and again and again. I mean, goddamn, it's only been two episodes, and already I wish the character would die.
But my vote for worst character ever were the Vaudeville Guys, but thankfully they got killed off, but I know they'll come back, mark my words.
I only saw her yesterday but that Mexican lady was fucking great. The ending was pretty good as well, in a way. Overall, I didn't regret watching it, and that says a lot.
@Cap'n:
And sorry but that restaurant thing was retarded
Peter decides to go with the chicken and his wife out to dinner! How cooky, I didn't see it coming!
And now they're just chatting like normal people would! It's funny because Peter is normally absurd and crass, whereas the chickens are giant chickens and they're usually averse to Peter. And I talk like that when I'm out with my friends too
OH HO THEY'RE FIGHTING OVER WHO PICKS UP THE CHECK LIKE NORMAL PEOPLE MIGHT UBT NOW THEY'RE FIGHTING AGAIN AHAHAHA I WANT SETH MCFARLANE TO PLOW ME
Uhhh, yeah. Well, that scene went on way longer than it should have. Still, I found a couple of references they made in it funny.
But my vote for worst character ever were the Vaudeville Guys, but thankfully they got killed off, but I know they'll come back, mark my words.
God help us when that moment comes. "Shudders"
They gotta come back and either do another song they can't finish or try and kill Stewie.
AHAHAHAHAHA! OMFG DID YOU SEE THAT!!!!???
She shot up a picture of George Bush because all he wants is oil and kills babies and is responsible for terrorism so she shot a picture of him with a chain gun showing that she hated him! And she avoided shooting Bill Clinton because he's super popular and cool and junk!!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! WHERE DO THEY COME UP WITH THIS STUFF!!!???
Fuck this show. It will be a miracle if I watch it after the break. Their completely biased and unamusing political 'humor' removes what gems it offers up on occassion.
Biased (but correct)
I never saw the Mexican lady
Can someone link me to it so I can bring judgment on it

@Cap'n:
Part of the reason it grated me was because Family Guy seems to do that "casual conversation" gag a lot.
Ugh, I hate it when they do that.
In every freakin' episode now. Just two or more characters talking about nothing interesting at all. I really wouldn't necessarily call that a "gag".
The animators and writers must do that so they can hit 23 minutes in an episode and call it a day. That's the only logical explanation why the casual conversation "gags" are there. Because there's no way in Hell the writers think that's funny.
I also love the shin/kneecap thing. That's one of the things I love because it annoys people. It's annoying and stupid and a complete waste of time, which is great that a show with so many viewers would do. I love when shows basically give the finger to standard expectations and that's one thing Family Guy doesn't do too much anymore. It's just too predictable.
It's retarded and unfunny and make you switch the channel.
While I can understand not liking exactly what they do with it, at least it changes and grows more absurd.
It gets stupider and get drug out longer and longer.
I remember the Kool-Ade gag. That was a pretty good one. But what's with the kid with the upside down face? I don't really understand that…
@Lobster:
But what's with the kid with the upside down face? I don't really understand that…
That was from Season 1 or 2, and someone said something about freaks, and Tom Tucker told that person "not to say Freak, someone might get offended", and then it cuts away to him and his son, who has the upside down face screaming how he's a freak.
Yeah, classic case of a "successful early joke, let's use it some moar!"

Yeah.
That's part of the reason I stopped too.
What makes it worse is that somewhere in America, in fact probably in alot of places, people are clapping and shouting "Amen" to that kinda shit.

Sorry, I couldn't resist.
To be honest
I did enjoy the 'You've got AIDS' song.

People liked it, so you know what the show did?
Used it again, except this time it wasn't funny.
They should learn something by now, lightning doesn't strike twice…or thrice...or eight times.
I'm sorry, I used to love this show.
When did they use it again?
Samething here.
(Extra Extra)
but that's the vasectomy song, isn't it?
Yeah, it was the same singers, that's what I meant.
But they're completely different songs.
I am curious as to why alot of people hate this show. Isn't the point of the show to make people laugh? I get the "bad" Political humour but that's it. Though, just to be sure, everyone here that doesn't like Family Guy that much; Do you like the beginning of South Park? Let's say first half or something, since that first half reminds me of what you guys are talking about. Out of curiousity and to be sure…maybe partially to defend the show, but I know I'd fail horribly doing so anyway so don't flame me XP

Don't even try to figure it out Rag, the members of this forum all have they'fd mysterys,quirks,etc if they trash family guy,they trash family guy
(even in a family guy based thread) even if there's people who hate it you know there's gonna be people who love it.
@Sandai:
But they're completely different songs.
What I meant was they brought back the singers, and that second song they did blew dog.
There's was nothing wrong with that unless the word or definition of
Vasectomy creeps you out,
@Sandai:
There's was nothing wrong with that unless the word or definition of
Vasectomy creeps you out, I felt the song dragged on a touch too long, was all.
I didn't like it.
Not everyone's gonna think the song blew dog, all I'm sayin' is that I thought it did.
I thought I'd pass along this article I saw on another forum.
Family Guy without Seth
Apparently Seth has gone on strike and left the show but Fox plans on continuing it without him.
So he won't write, or do the voices? or both?
No no no.
Gather round and I'll tell you a tale.
The Writers Guild has gone on strike. This means no writing is going on in the entertainment industry at the moment (which if you ask me is how it's been for a while now rimshot)
A number of shows on television are currently being affected by this move and sooner rather than later, we're finding ourselves in the middle of shows dropping left and right.
Certain shows however, should not be affected by this, namingly shows that have to be completed months in advance ie. cartoons.
Simpsons has almost a full season all lined up. And Family Guy should have the same schedule. In fact, most if not all of the season should be down on paper at the LEAST. That's because when you animate a show, you don't just throw it together overnight. You have to draw a shitload of frames which takes weeks to do.
Enter Self-Loving Smug FUCK Seth.
He came up with some bullshit, "Oh we're always behind schedule and, WHOOPS! Suddenly no more episodes! Ok sry byeee!"
No dickface, you have plenty of episodes done, not to mention the voice work. What you may not have completed is editing or voicing certain scenes. I like when he said something like, "There are rewrites."
Yeah okay dumbass, let's just rewrite a scene. All it takes is A WEEK OR TWO TO GO BACK AND REANIMATE EVERYTHING!
While that could be true for episodes down the line, it's complete bullshit for much of the season's material.
It could also be that they haven't voiced certain scenes. That's very probable but not likely as the situation he described where suddenly, "OOPSIE! NO EPISODES! TEE-HEE!"
So they may air episodes which he doesn't want them to air because he's striking and most importantly, it would prove him wrong, which simply must not be allowed to happen.
re: Mexican Cleaning Lady
the first one actually made me chuckle
the second one… not so much (it was held back by HILARIOUS SUPERMAN/SUPERFRIENDS/COMIC REFERENCE OF THE WEEK), but it was still amusing
the bigot who thinks being an asshole is actually worth shit
going with tha the cellophane S bit from the Cleveland,Loretta,Quagmire epiosde awhile back was funny along with these quotes & scenes
Perfect Castaway
Cleveland: I even got to shoot Skeet
Skeet Ulrich:(being wheeled away on a strecther) You bastar I can't believe you shot me.
Cleveland: There's nothing good about what you do, or who you are
Petarded
Stewie: So is there any tread left on the tires at all, or is it like throwing a hot dog down a hallway?

See, the "Jafar needs glasses skit" was FUNNY. But, they dragged it on for about 2 minutes long, which made it bad…
Why are they dragging out jokes now?
@Lobster:

I knew they were gonna drag that one on.
I heard that they drag shit out really long to fill up time.
I doubt all of those were real. Not to sound like a party-pooper but some of those responses were too perfect. They were exactly in line with Seth's pet peeves.
For instance, the one lady says she watches and enjoys 'South Park and the Simpsons' but doesn't enjoy Family Guy?
HUH!?
Family Guy is basically Simpsons fused with South Park. You can't find both of them entertaining and find Family Guy 'bleh'.
I think Family Guy is retarded when it goes political because it simply resorts to pointless fart jokes (HAHAHA! CHENEY HAS A GUN! GET IT!? CAUSE HE SHOT A GUY!!!! HAHAHAHA) (HAHAHA! CLINTON IS SLEEPING AROUND! CAUSE HE CHEATED ON HIS WIFE IN THE 90'S!!!! HAHAHA) instead of examining issues like South Park, but that doesn't mean it's a boring or unfunny show.
Plus, to get repsonses that perfect, they would have had to interview a fuckload of people. I'm not saying it isn't impossible, but some answers seem far too contrived and suspicious to be given at random.
And even if they are real, Seth is a pretentious fuck for making fun of normal people's opinions (however dim they might be) like that. I understand lampooning critics and professionals but normal people? Is he really that much better than them?
Ugh, I love Family Guy, I just can't stand Seth's smarmy self-worshipping grin.
lol i notice hiw grin too and trust me i have a heart for ppl but for some reason it makes me laugh. I also think that some shows have creators who sold their soouls becuz i cant beleive its still funny even with repeated formulas of jokes…oh and some of their responses were really perfect.. shut up and laugh u party pooper XD ur funny ...he does have a grin that kinda makes u angry..but somehow i forget when i see Brian awkwardly want to taste lois' "puppies" XD
I like the Merman scene XD
I like Family Guy, but not as much as Simpsons. My youngest brother passionately hates Family Guy. He considers it too random and retarded. If a Family Guy commercial is on he'll leave the room. Even mentioning the shows name pisses him off. I think his hatred for it borders on pathological!

Well after reran for the last few weeks we got a new episode which was decent.
Yep, I saw tonights Family Guy (or as I like to call it now, John Veiner Voices Fucking Everybody), and…I gotta say, it wasn't really that bad. It was pretty decent.
I've given up on the show.
It's become the "Killing Republicans Makes For Good Humor Just Because And Democrats Are Always Cool/Right Even If They Filander Happy Fun Time Spectacular".
The show used to be so much better when it didn't hump the leg of a political party and just made fun of random stupid people/things in daily life instead of beating a dead horse on tired topics that if I wanted to see lambasted I could tune into Leno or Letterman daily (well not here I can't but you get my drift). I watched the de-evolution of it and it just seems like a really high quality political ad now.
If it ever drops that crap I will go back in a heartbeat.
They've made fun of both parties though the Republicans get screwed alot often than Democrats, American dad on the other hand is more or less different in that particular aspect.
Funny, most people hated the show because it didn't comment on relavent issues and was completely random. And yet Greg dislikes it because it does those things now.
Still, I agree with Greg tho, the randomness and sheer stupidity is what made the old FG great. Thats the reason I liked it, because it wasn't preaching to the choir and all that, just being funny (which many series are too above to be these days)
It's become the "Killing Republicans Makes For Good Humor Just Because And Democrats Are Always Cool/Right Even If They Filander Happy Fun Time Spectacular".
What in the hell are you talking about?
The stem cell business? Many Republicans support that too; it's hard for them not to when plenty of polls says that three quarters of the population favors it. They're not taking a Democratic position on it, they're taking the position of almost everybody who isn't an Evangelical Christian.
I thought the episode sucked, but that was because it went way overboard with the sidecuts, not because of some complaints about the way it portrays politicians or political viewpoints or some damn thing. I mean, oh boo hoo, they treat Dick Cheney like he's some sort of Bondsian supervillain instead of the big cuddly care bear that occasionally tells people to perform an anatomic impossibility that he really is.
I got kind of sick of hearing Seth MacFarlane's opinion on everything while the old pedophile sings about kids sucking his dick or something
I haven't watched a "new" episode in forever and it sounds like I haven't really missed out
the bigot who thinks being an asshole is actually worth shit
@Cap'n:

I don't think he was in tonight's episode, thank god.

Yes I know. My comments from a previous post stand.
(HAHAHA! CHENEY HAS A GUN! GET IT!? CAUSE HE SHOT A GUY!!!! HAHAHAHA) (HAHAHA! CLINTON IS SLEEPING AROUND! CAUSE HE CHEATED ON HIS WIFE IN THE 90'S!!!! HAHAHA)
Where do they come up with this stuff? Gold!
Funny, most people hated the show because it didn't comment on relavent issues and was completely random. And yet Greg dislikes it because it does those things now.
By commenting on relevant issues do you mean having a battle in the Oval Office where portraits of Reagan and Bush are torn through with a chain gun while a portrait of a naked Clinton is deliberately avoided?
Family Guy's 'commentary' is about as useful/funny as name-calling.

Sadly I have nary a clue what you're talking about as I said, I haven't watched this episode nor do I intend to. But the fact that you even mention they treat Dick Cheney like a Bondsian villain is enough to confirm any suspicions.
HAW HAW! LET'S MAKE DICK CHENEY AN EVIL PERSON!
What's next?
HEY GUYS! LET'S MAKE AL GORE TALK LIKE A ROBOT!
Boring.
Like I said before, my youngest brother has a pathological hatred for Family Guy. He hates American Dad too. In fact, he wants Seth MacFarlane to die. I have no idea why he hates Seth so much and his shows.
Anyway, I haven't watched Family Guy in ages. I've always like some its jokes, though I hate most of characters.
@Greg: I never thought that Family Guy of all shows was politically biased. Then again I don't watch it much so I wouldn't know. I do love the first 3 seasons the best!

We have a resident Tim Heidecker & Eric Wareheim Hater here, who wants to see these two get what's coming to them badly so not really much of a surprise there.
And now thinking back on it all Family Guy's politically biasness isn't so bad besides I for one am sick and tired of hearing right-wing Conservatives and they're supporters act like they're above everyone and think everything they say and do is factually,morally, & politically correct, seeing Keith Olbermann & Seth McFarlane take shots at them on a somewhat regular basis is good.
It's the same shit no matter what side you're on
