Family Guy (Official Thread)

[im_wide_awake]

"i made a darth doodie"
i gotta admit
family guys been slipping but that was amazing

[TheOtherAndrew]

yes! so it should be a new one every sunday again right?
this is correct

[polock]

the couch part had me going

[AP_Punk]

I dislike Family Guy, but sounds like I missed an OK episode of it. Maybe I'll check it out sometime online.

yea I havent been following Family Guy for years but this was very funny

[Drew Beringer]

Best part was when the dude was pretending to shoot the ship.

"pa-choo, pa-choo....gotcha!"

[chokeychicken]

i liked when they were fighting the TIE fighters and r2 opens the back hatch and pops one with his 9MM.

"Thats how we do it in my nehgborhood, bitch!"

Robot Chicken still did it better

[Nametekken]

i mean really. who throws away a half of pizza.

[Shatter590]

i mean really. who throws away a half of pizza.

ya know, what. i know were on a dangerous mission and all, but im taking this couch.

[duhpunk]

i didn't find it very funny...but on the other hand, i was in a bit of a bad mood

[Nametekken]

ya know, what. i know were on a dangerous mission and all, but im taking this couch.

that is where i came into the episdoe.. i found them trying to get through the door absolutely hillarious...

and the old man and his light saber. classic.

[Shatter590]

its a lightsaber, everyone around here has one *cut to scene where hick is using lightsaber as a bug zapper* why would you hang this here? its so inviting.

i stand by robot chicken doing it better, simply for the line "What the hell is an aluminum falcon?"

"Hey HAN? why do they call them TIE Fighters?"

torrent link?

you can stream it here for now

[Tsagoodness]

the best part was the end when "Chris" and "Peter" are arguing about the robot chicken version. Seth Green got his two cents in.

[zizou1790]

hahahahaha wow this episode was hilarious and i dont even usually like family guy

[zizou1790]

I don't care I'm taking this couch


haha i loved that scene

[uchiha]

Wow what a great episode lol too many funny parts to acknowledge. But one of the best parts was when Peter was trying to out-manuever the fighters by moving slightly to the left lol and the part with Coach McGuirk in the bar was the best ever... any reference to Home Movies is amazing.

[aolsux]

best family guy since the cancellation

[krishasaheadake]

Its Beach Front Property!

[demondays524]

i thought the star wars episode was good. it was one of the best episodes in a while, last season was sort of a dud.

[Jarrodtexas]

I dont know, barring a few funny parts, but I thought they were trying too hard for most of it. Maybe it is just because I am getting older..I dunno

[Dan CiTi]

I really liked it.

[summer skin]

This wasn't even good...just a bunch of references to older family guy episodes, with a few obvious jokes thrown in.

[krishasaheadake]

This wasn't even good...just a bunch of references to older family guy episodes, with a few obvious jokes thrown in.

I see your points but I still found it very amusing :shrug:

[kwsqd]

A 'good' episode, they should have cut it in half and made it really funny...

[Loch_Doun]

It was okay but i've grown out of this show.

[fantasma]

I enjoyed it alot. Especially Greedo.


The Robot Chicken reference was great too.

"So it doubled to 10?"

[summer skin]

Remember That Guy From An Old Episode, Well You Won't Believe What Starwars Character He's Playing Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahacance led

[asmolitor]

after the floating text intro, it was all downhill.

[utgjames]

#THe commentary on the hole on the Death Star was hilarious

[Justin_stacy]

http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20071003/tv_nm/tv_fox_familyguy_dc

[anamericangod]

It was worth it. That was quite possibly the greatest television episode of any series, ever.

[TheOtherAndrew]

It was worth it. That was quite possibly the greatest television episode of any series, ever.
Wow.

Uh I wouldn't exactly go THAT far.

It was definitely one of the best Family Guy episodes.

[SteveLikesMusic]

Lame.

[krishasaheadake]

Wow.

Uh I wouldn't exactly go THAT far.

It was definitely one of the best Family Guy episodes.

I honestly feel its one of their weakest episodes.

[eMart]

It was one of the funnier episodes before the show started going downhill.

[PunkENG]

Star Wars episode was by far the best Family Guy ever.

[Justin_stacy]

I honestly feel its one of their weakest episodes.

did you see last season?

[anamericangod]

Star Wars episode was by far the best Family Guy ever.

Some of it was amazing, some of it was kind of dumb.

[Rock]

http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20071003/tv_nm/tv_fox_familyguy_dc
They just got around to suing Fox? Awesome.

[TheOtherAndrew]

did you see last season?
qft.

[chokeychicken]

i feel like if you wait 4 years, you don't deserve to sue.

[Adrian Villagomez]

This show sucks. Bring on the hate.

[Johnny Clutch]

This show sucks. Bring on the hate.

Couldn't agree more. Some early stuff was funny, but it got old real fast.

[TheOtherAndrew]

Haha, Stewie's talking in a fashion that implies he's gay!


Again!

[Adrian Villagomez]

Couldn't agree more. Some early stuff was funny, but it got old real fast.My word, someone who finally agrees with me.

:appl:

[AP_Punk]

My word, someone who finally agrees with me.

:appl:

I agree with you too. :nod:

[Adrian Villagomez]

I agree with you too. :nod::buddies:

[krishasaheadake]

did you see last season?

No to be honest I missed most of it :-/ I take it they were sub par?

[TheOtherAndrew]

No to be honest I missed most of it :-/ I take it they were sub par?
Ridiculously so.

[Thug_Nasty]

that sucks.

[Dan CiTi]

Good song.

[brentkid]

I swear to god, people are becoming such pussies about things like this.

[asmolitor]

i thought that was in the public domain. fair enough. but how are people just getting around to the weinstein episode?

[SingleDoubt]

next on the suing family guy list: the simpsons


...ZING!!!! :-D

[Broken Parachute]

The first few seasons were money. I don't like it as much as I used to. "When You Wish Upon a Weinstein" was one of my favorites when I first started watching.

[reductiondesign]

Terrible show.

[SJms1026]

The Star Wars episode could've been so much better.

[TheOtherAndrew]

Family Guy sucks and is not funny.

American Dad is better but obviously The Simpsons >>>>>>>>> All.
Disagree. New Family Guy is just not funny. American Dad is one of the worst shows on television.

[summer skin]

Disagree. New Family Guy is just not funny. American Dad is one of the worst shows on television.
qft.

also the star wars episode was terrible...
OMG LOOK WAT OLD OBSCURE 80'S REFRENCE/ FAMILY GUY CHARACTER IS PLAYING A STAR WARS CHARACTER LOFFLEWOFFLE

[AP_Punk]

next on the suing family guy list: the simpsons


...ZING!!!! :-D

Haha

[notoaststereo]

worth it? i think so

[The Revisionist]

This show is no good.

[ArTkY_]

Family Guy is fucking terrible now. I watch the reruns of season 2 and whatnot, but other than that... God.

[utgjames]

It was worth it. That was quite possibly the greatest television episode of any series, ever.


ditto

[OveriseFan]

Family Guy sucks and is not funny.

American Dad is better but obviously The Simpsons >>>>>>>>> All.

Seriously?

American Dad was never good.

Family Guy used to be really funny, and still has the occasional moment.

[DivisionStreet]

i thought that was in the public domain. fair enough. but how are people just getting around to the weinstein episode?

It doesn't matter whether or not it is public domain...because it was a parody. Parodies of absolutely anything are protected. Fox will win this lawsuit based on solely that. The company that is suing them is stupid and their lawyers should have realized that this is an automatic loss.

[Kif]

Rumours are tomorrow Family Guy is doing a Benoit joke. Not that I haven't gotten a laugh out of it, but WWE are pretty pissed.

Also, Family Guy was never funny. I don't see why people thought it used to be. The animation is pathetic, the jokes were predictable and the plots were boring.

[TakingBackDowd]

i think this shows hilarious.

[anamericangod]

Just out of curiosity, what do you think is funny?

[lassise]

yeah it wasn't that funny. they are kinda late on this suit tho haha

[Kif]

Just out of curiosity, what do you think is funny?
I don't think it is funny per se, but like edited pictures of him have been a little funny.

And yes, I know I'm going to hell.

[anamericangod]

I don't think it is funny per se, but like edited pictures of him have been a little funny.

Oh, haha, no, I wasn't talking about Benoit. I was just asking what kind of comedy stuff you are into since you don't think that Family Guy is funny at all.

[JustAnotherPoet]

so in the finale episode of the Stewie Griffin Movie when future Stewie is racing present Stewie to the pool before the swimming race, the music sequence reminds me of either the opening or a particular part of some other show. it's right on the tip of my tongue, but i can't for the life of me remember what it is. it especially reminds me when he runs between the two sun bathing girls and the backtracks to say "Hi, Stewie Griffin." anybody know what that was from? it's been driving me crazy for a while.

[Halloween413]

I believe the whole sequence is a spoof on Ferris Bueller's Day Off when Ferris is trying to get home before his parents.

[shinedown114]

That's exactly what it is

[JustAnotherPoet]

oh my god...that is it. weird as it sounds, that's been driving me insane for the past couple of days

[krishasaheadake]

cmar with a sweet digital download

[Nolessthanblink]

I didn't think that Star Wars movie was all that funny honestly...

[drewziph]

could it be that there is no such thread?

if so, please direct me to it.. as me searching has proved fruitless.

[jbaseball44]

couldn't find one myself, i have never been a huge fan of this series (i think it plays second fiddle to south park and futurama) but every now and again i watch it.

[Until The Bombs]

Overrated, although enjoyable.

[drewziph]

strange. as much as i enjoy south park and futureama...

family guy is some way out in front!

[Burning Star IV]

You probably can't find one because no one cares about family guy.

[AP_Punk]

i'm pretty sure there's a few family guy threads but the search function hasn't been working right lately so that's probably why.

[Ailite]

I'm pretty tired of this show

[jawstheme]

South Park!

[SLoT]

when the show got picked up again it became unfunny for sure. the early episodes were great.

[amysaurus]

New episodes are definitely not as funny as the old ones. It's mindless entertainment for me.

[drewziph]

im amazed at the lack of love for family guy?!

[DaveFeelsRight]

Overrated, although enjoyable.yup

[jdark6]

New episodes are definitely not as funny as the old ones. It's mindless entertainment for me.

Glad it's not just me that's thought this. I was worried that I might be growing up or some shit like that. Now my mind can rest.

[Adeniz19]

i'm sure there is a thread for this but the search function is down so its all good

[tacosforcharles]

Fun to watch every once in a while with friends, otherwise it's a pretty lame show.

[amysaurus]

im amazed at the lack of love for family guy?!

Don't get me wrong, I used to love Family Guy. It's just that once I started watching South Park religiously I realized how fucking stupid Family Guy can be. It's entertaining, but you have to admit that the first few seasons are better than this past season.

Glad it's not just me that's thought this. I was worried that I might be growing up or some shit like that. Now my mind can rest.

Yeah I thought that maybe I was growing out of being entertained by such a show but really I think it's because I started watching South Park and realized how much more intelligent SP is.

[Throwback]

This show is a plague. Maybe not the initial run, but fuck, please make it go away.

[reductiondesign]

Terrible; when I (somehow) find myself watching a new episode, I don't laugh once.

The last season of South Park was absolutely awful. It felt like a bad imitation of itself last year.

[sputniksignals]

Yeah search function doesn't work at all. I searched for a thread on the front page and it phailed

[amysaurus]

The last season of South Park was absolutely awful. It felt like a bad imitation of itself last year.

I really liked the Internet episode and the cheesing one. Aside from those two, not that funny.

[drewziph]

so, my appreciation thread has turned into the opposite.. crazy

i liked some of the new episodes. and enjoy any episode in generally

[Throwback]

I hate Family Guy, but I do watch almost all the time. I think I'm masochistic.

Another thing that pisses me off is when I tell people I loathe Family Guy and they're like 'you only say that cause South Park did.'

[Throwback]

I really liked the Internet episode and the cheesing one. Aside from those two, not that funny.
The internet one was pretty decent. I guess its technically two seasons ago, but the Guitar Hero episode is one of the worst in the show's history and everyone thought it was hysterical.

[amysaurus]

Eh, I thought that one was okay. It was definitely not as funny as everyone made it out to be though.

[Brandon Allin]

I'm aware the general consensus is that Family Guy has seen better days, but I still adore this show. I'll agree that the new seasons aren't quite as good as the original material, but I don't think a single show has ever made me laugh as consistently as Family Guy has. I support this thread.

[TheOtherAndrew]

It kinda went downhill after coming back from being cancelled. Lately its been better though.

[demondays524]

Glad it's not just me that's thought this. I was worried that I might be growing up or some shit like that. Now my mind can rest.

You're definitely not alone. Most of the new episodes are crap. I barely watch it anymore except for the reruns of good episodes.

[Throwback]

On another note, I want to punch whoever greenlit American Dad in the cock.

[Throwback]

When I really think about this show, it does amaze me though. I remember loving it when it first came out and being really pissed as it got jerked around so much with threats of cancellation and all that. Then, when it came back I really didn't care. Now, when I watch those episodes, they really aren't even funny to me anymore. I guess this show just doesn't age well or something, but its weird that I was such a huge supporter in the beginning and now barely ever laugh at it.

[cahrishurr]

I find the early episodes unfunny now and the newer episodes great. Maybe its because some of the comedy is only funny for the first few times because it is mostly inane pop culture jokes and unrelated cut scenes. I still like the show though, its hilarious how some people have turned on it when the show hasnt really changed.

[rob_mylo]

yup. american dad is trash

Its more automatic now. The 'like that time I...' jokes were used much less frequently in the old episodes and there were more dialogue/story-based jokes rather than crappy pop culture based ones. There really is a glaring difference to me. The whole feel of the show has shifted in my opinion.

Thats why the show has no lasting power as displayed in me having no interest in the earlier episodes anymore. Stewie however will forever be funny to me, they need to make a show just for him and I would enjoy it.

What do you think of The Cleveland Show? Or rather the trailer since obviously we havent seen an episode yet.

tell me more, i havent heard of this

[Chris Fallon]

Do not find this show funny at all anymore.

Even the old episodes I've seen a few times have run out of steam. I think Seth MacFarlane thinks he is much funnier than he really is.

I think the Cleveland Show will tank. The trailer didn't fully convince me it was a great idea. I don't think Cleveland can carry the show by himself. Plus, I don't like how it looks like to be another version of Family Guy. I'll probably watch the first episode and take it from there.

[SkyHeldUpByStar]

I can't stand this show anymore. I remember watching it when it first came out while I was in high school and I know I liked it then but I just can't get myself to laugh at it anymore. Even their voices annoy me. I think the moment for me that it stopped being funny was when, after having not watched the show for a while, my friend had me watch the "movie" where Stewie time travels. I found it grating.

[cscwell107]

I didn't think that Star Wars movie was all that funny honestly...

Yea I didnt think it was all that great either. It did get more funny the more i watched it

[WhoSaidThat?]

I believe the whole sequence is a spoof on Ferris Bueller's Day Off when Ferris is trying to get home before his parents.

If there is one think I hate, JUST ONE, it's the act of not getting the pop culture reference. Always pisses me off.

[Until The Bombs]

After not caring about this show for the longest time, I'm starting to enjoy it.

[WhoSaidThat?]

BHnX-fqlo1M

[theguilt engine]

Haha this new one was pretty funny tonight.

[uchiha]

damn I missed it.. good thing mininova exists

[deathbatgurl]

what's your favorite episode?

[terrycw89]

The one where Peter gets into shenanigans. Hilarious!

[MIKEY_HORROR]

Probably the one where they got a new computer, and Meg was on some message board...and started a new topic w/o using the search function. And Peter kept calling her stupid and thrwing rocks at her for making such a n00b mistake

[Jessooker]

hmm.

[MattRM]

I enjoy the bit about Brian's novel.

[Justin_stacy]

Brian Portrait of a Dog.....single best episode. The poltergest spoof was pretty good too.

[Greg]

probably

Wasted Talent or To Live and Die In Dixie

[popdisaster00]

The one where they bring up past memories.

[Thomas Balkcom]

The one where they bring up past memories.

Haha!

[Rawrr]

The one where they bring up past memories.
I like the ones where they bring up past memories intertwined with pop-culture references better.

[terrycw89]

I like the ones where they bring up past memories intertwined with pop-culture references better.

I change my answer to this!

[Thomas Balkcom]

You guys are hilarious

[popdisaster00]

I like the ones where they bring up past memories intertwined with pop-culture references better.
yeah, those are great but so rare!

[sjb2k1]

i don't know if i have a favorite ep. i have favorite scenes though, for instance, when brian gets drunk in the airport bar when he's taking stewie home, or when he's all coked out and rants about his day.

[ZeitGeist]

Yeah, the pop culture references are great. I think one of the funnier scenes they've done was Stewie fling all the way to Hollywood to punch Will Ferrell, I thought that was just hilarious.

[deathbatgurl]

has anyone seen the star wars episode?

[skashroomking]

fam guy 1

[jakemuscles]

peter - "thats my mama"

[c_rob2700]

"look theres jesus!"
"and his best friend Peter, haaa"

[WhoSaidThat?]

"look theres jesus!"
"and his best friend Peter, haaa"
I liked that.

[Justin_stacy]

I know its been said before, but this new season of Family Guy is just awful. Brian competting with Cleveland for a girl and taking relationship pointers from Stewie, and then last nights episode with the over usesage of the 'bird is the word' in a non-funny repetition and jesus mockery.

And here's the synopsis for next weeks episode:

Mort Goldman accidentally steps into Stewie's time machine, so Brian and Stewie go back in time to retrieve him. Things look bad when they discover that they've arrived in World War II-era Poland, so they must travel to Nazi Germany to save Mort and find a way to safely return to the present.

I wonder how riped off Fox feels now that they've given McFarlane a 100 million dollar long term contract and all they have to show for it is below average ratings and another pointless spin off?

[berskyjr]

ya, i dont like family guy anymore. I said it before this season and all my friends are like WHY??? WHAT??? They all still watch it. i wont. mcfarlane needs to know when to stop. I was one of the guys that was there from season 1 and when they got cancelled.

[OldJersey]

I never thought it was that great.

[Ailite]

I've lost interest in it, I used to love it

[Rawrr]

Hey Louis, remember that one time..

[Smash Adams]

I thought the last few seasons have been less than stellar, I think Seth's heart just isn't in it anymore and he's just doing it to fuck Amanda Bynes, which is cool and all since she's cute

[berskyjr]

I thought the last few seasons have been less than stellar, I think Seth's heart just isn't in it anymore and he's just doing it to fuck Amanda Bynes, which is cool and all since she's cute
man I wish I could fuck Amanda Bynes

[amysaurus]

Oh, there are new episodes again? I should watch.

[doomcrs04]

It's no worse than it was before. You all have heard it's shitty now and it's not cool anymore so you think that the show is shittier. The show is still the same.

[jakemuscles]

bring in new writers who are breaking ground

[Kif]

I never thought it was that great.
This. I still watch the odd episode if there's nothing on.

[parallelism]

How awful Family Guy's always been.*

fixed

[Hojonny]

It's no worse than it was before. You all have heard it's shitty now and it's not cool anymore so you think that the show is shittier. The show is still the same.

I"m with you. And the "Everybody's heard about the bird" joke was hilarious. This is a simple case of it's cool to hate it, so I guess I should. Everybody hated FOB at my highschool back in the day cuz everybody was supposed to. That doesn't mean that back then they sucked balls. They didn't. This show hasn't changed, but the public opinion has changed. Now that it's cool to hate, it sucks. Mob mentality rules this nation. Pisses me off.

[MattRM]

Yeah, I think there have been a few brilliant moments in the past couple episodes. At least this show is (usually) consistently funny from one week to the next, unlike The Simpsons, which maybe averages two funny episodes a season now.

[eMart]

Agreed last night's episode was very shitty. It was the first time I actually tuned in to watch this show in a long time and I picked an unfortunate episode to watch. If this show never came back from being canceled after the 3rd season, it would've had a cult status rivaling that of Arrested Development.

[BruisedxBroken]

Mort Goldman accidentally steps into Stewie's time machine, so Brian and Stewie go back in time to retrieve him. Things look bad when they discover that they've arrived in World War II-era Poland, so they must travel to Nazi Germany to save Mort and find a way to safely return to the present.

...that actually sounds like it might be kind of funny...

on a side note, family guy is still funnier than any of the new south parks, although admittedly, the writing isn't quite as creative (never has been, and sp was funnier in it's prime). people who bitch about how family guy is no longer as funny as it used to be need to realize that nearly every show looses steam after it peaks. just look at the simpsons! what it used to be, and what it is today. that should be the proof...

[domotime2]

haha after 2 episodes the show is shitty.....


SOUTH PARK PLOYS WORKED !!! AMAZING! (i love south park, family guy, simpsons)

[domotime2]

simpsons has ups and downs....but more ups!


but thats actually an interesting point to why Family Guy will never reach simpsons gold...

simpsons 400 episodes.....and they still manage to be creative and originaly with their story lines and jokes (with a few exceptions)

family guy 100 episodes? (idk the number)...and they're all ready running out of ideas.

[TheAtticusFinch]

i didnt know things had to be witty and clever to qualify as "funny"... South Park keeps going because its become pure satire, as long as shit keeps going on in the country/world, Matt Stone and Trey Parker will make fun of it. so it looks like South Park has an indefinite amount of material to work with.

personally i loved last night's Family Guy.. its the first new one ive watched in a long time.

[BruisedxBroken]

that's understating it actually. family guy has been stealing ideas from old simpsons episodes since the show first started. there's a youtube video floating around in cyber space with about six or seven minutes (i think) of family guy material ripped off of old simpsons episodes.

Don't get me wrong, I like Family Guy. But Seth MacFarlane is to animated-comedy what Carlos Mencia is to sketch-comedy.

Never the biggest fan, but I enjoyed last night's episode.

[Protested Hero]

I liked last night's episode.

[Anthony Lutz]

You guys obviously haven't heard the word.

[Protested Hero]

The bird bird bird, bird is the word.

[Smash Adams]

the part where he was reading the newspaper was the funniest part
Well, there seems to be an absence of a certain ornithological piece. A headline regarding mass awareness of a certain avian variety.

[Kram41]

You guys obviously haven't heard the word.

Everybody's heard about the word.

[Chris Fallon]

Someone tried convincing me last night's episode was funny.

Needless to say, they lack the skills of proper persuasion.

I was dying. That was the best episode I've seen in quite sometime.

[OtherBen]

you lot worry me sometimes.

last night's was hilarious.

[Anthony Lutz]

I thought that was a great episode personally. It was better than a lot of things I've seen on TV as of late.

[sundaydrivetsl]

that's understating it actually. family guy has been stealing ideas from old simpsons episodes since the show first started. there's a youtube video floating around in cyber space with about six or seven minutes (i think) of family guy material ripped off of old simpsons episodes.

Don't get me wrong, I like Family Guy. But Seth MacFarlane is to animated-comedy what Carlos Mencia is to sketch-comedy.

haha, that video on Youtube is great. There are some pretty blatant rip-offs, its actually kind of sad for Family Guy. Some of them are like "come on, really? you had to straight copy the Simpsons!?"

[lindZ629]

The thing is, even though the Simpsons might not be as funny as it used to be, it's still entertaining. I sat through Family Guy the other day thinking "why am I watching this" the whole time.

[popdisaster00]

I'd have to think that Seth has less involvement in the writing now, and he's making so much money that he doesn't even care. With that said, I haven't seen any of the new season or much of the last season, so I'm not going to say it sucks now. I just know it was better when it started. It was better before American Dad.

[xBITCHxPLEASEx]

"like That Time When...like That Time When....almost As Good As...almost As Bad As...."

[Mike78098C]

The bird is the word was funny the first time it came up.
Then they tried to use it as a gag for 5 minutes in a 21 minute show.
5/21 = 24% of the show wasted on one really long joke.
Almost a fourth of the show.

[sundaydrivetsl]

I hate when they throw in stupid musical songs too that last for 4 minutes, I like more of the dialouge

[A_Rolling_Stone]

i thought fjorg swedish bakery was about the funniest thing i have ever seen in family guy. can't say i watch the show all that much though

[thiswokendream]

Ever since they brought the show back it is the same random joke after another. I love the first few seasons and then it just became redundant. Same thing with the Simpsons. I love The Simpons up until about season 9 when the writting started taking a turn for the worst.

[Un'Aria Ancora]

Man, this show has gone so far downhill....

[WhoSaidThat?]

Haven't you all heard?

[Indoor Living]

that is one of my favorites.
has anyone seen the star wars episode?


Hell yeah! I love right at the beginning, when all the guards are like watching that one entrance, and one of them says, "What if they come in another door?" So funny.

But IMO, this season is very subpar.

[acfrue]

Haven't you all heard?

heard what?

[WhoSaidThat?]

[amysaurus]

Watched the first episode of the new season... not that funny. Cleveland's finishing sex line is not funny.

[deathbatgurl]

ha ha. i like it when peter tries to save the couch.

[BruisedxBroken]

I'm a sucker for musicals, so I don't know about all that. and the cut-away gags are a great angle too, but family guy definitely streches the filler as far and often as they can. peter falls, clutches his knee and moans for like 20 seconds? come on now, is that really necessary!!??

[cscwell107]

I actually thought last nights episode was pretty funny

BA-BA-BA-BIRD IS THE WORD

[acfrue]

PTkd9L9JSB8 i couldnt get that link to work, maybe this one will

[Indoor Living]

Am I the only one that was completely annoyed ba-ba-ba-by that ba-ba-ba-bird is the word thing?

[cscwell107]

I liked it

[domotime2]

"i just did you but ill go another round i guess"

[domotime2]

but really....

the episode...possibly not an all time-great, but its not like it was such a step-down from previous episodes... it had its moments..i definitley laughed a couple of times....thats all i really can ask for.

and i applaud anything that takes a stab against dane cook

[domotime2]

its the small things that continue to make shows like family guy, and south park funny....

like when they went into that 30s mob style rant about who stole the record, and then chris joins in....haha its was priceless, and good use of Chris for once.

chris is funny if used well.

[TheOtherAndrew]

This show stopped being funny after coming back from cancellation. The first episode (the Mel Gibson episode) was stellar. Everything after that has been pretty mediocre.

Pretty much what I was going to say, outside of that I enjoyed Blue Harvest since it only had one or two cutaway gags.

[summer skin]

How anyone can find anything remotely funny about the bird is the word episode is beyond me.

[itsmesean0630]

How anyone can find anything remotely funny about the bird is the word episode is beyond me.
Well, it's their choice, and it the choice of a New Generation.

[sugarcoatedlies]

I thought the last few seasons have been less than stellar, I think Seth's heart just isn't in it anymore and he's just doing it to fuck Amanda Bynes, which is cool and all since she's cute

Wait, what? He's fucking Amanda Bynes?


Anyway this show's target audience are stoners and people in their late 20's to mid 30's that like nostalgia and shit. If you notice a lot of the comedy on there is just the random ass flashbacks, which if you took them out would have unfunny plots.

Bird is the word episode was ridiculously awful. They reused the things of Peter's dancing way too much. Overkill if you ask me.

Also wtf is with them making Stewie be definitely gay in the new episodes? He seemed to be straight and really evil in the first episodes and now he's wussed out.

[Paulb-182]

the shows gone to shit, nothing else needs to be said about it really

[Cheshire_Buddha]

Wait, what? He's fucking Amanda Bynes?

Yep, he's getting all up in them guts.

[Paulb-182]

Yep, he's getting all up in them guts.

ive just looked up who that is...

it cant be true, shes quite attractive, hes just a knob

[ZeitGeist]

I liked it too, but if I saw it again, I probably wouldn't like it as much. Some of the stuff they do tends to get annoying as you see it more. Overall though, obviously, this show kicks ass.

[Justin_stacy]

hahahahahaha.

[Brandon Allin]

ya, i dont like family guy anymore. I said it before this season and all my friends are like WHY??? WHAT??? They all still watch it. i wont. mcfarlane needs to know when to stop. I was one of the guys that was there from season 1 and when they got cancelled.
I'm sure you'd stop making episodes if you were making millions of dollars, as well.

[Brandon Allin]

He's been like that for a few seasons now. If you ask me, there's two versions of Stewie. The first one is where he's evil, hates Lois, and wants to take over the world. Later on in the show, he became this sarcastic, somewhat gay version of his former self, and dropped the whole world domination scheme. However, I find the latter much, much funnier. If I wanted to watch something with a mishapen head talk about taking over the world, I'd watch old episodes of Pinky and the Brain.

[berskyjr]

I'm sure you'd stop making episodes if you were making millions of dollars, as well.
touche.

[coltenTALK]

I stopped watching that show a long time ago.

[Scott Irvine]

I was one of the guys that was there from season 1 and when they got cancelled.

Cool brag!

[sjb2k1]

haha i didn't even know this was back on yet. my DVR is so fucked up. the other day it taped that stupid reality show ep, but not the new ones, wtf? although it seems i am not missing much.

[berskyjr]

Cool brag!
you better fucking believe it.

[domotime2]

the show is fine....its still funny, get over it scenesters

[domotime2]

haha i just watched the german episode for like the 4th time....this has GOT to be one of the best episodes in a long time. like, in many ways this was a terriffic episode...great long lasting jokes, small funny bits, one liners...the cow goes SHAZOOOOO...hahaha awesome.

"From: The Fuhrer
Proceed with case white: Invasion of Poland


PS Got Your Last Message.
LMAO!!!"

[jcoop05]

HAHA the German episode was pretty hilarious

[popdisaster00]

Did anyone watch last weekend when Stewie was left home alone? I only caught the second half of it, but it obviously referenced Home Alone and Planes, Trains, and Automobiles. And the fact that they were on a road trip in the first place referenced Vacation. Did the ep reference any other John Hughes films?

[TheOtherAndrew]

haha, movie references.

[WhoSaidThat?]

Loved the latest episode.

no. it was funny like one time then i was like ahhhh stop

[billyboatkid]

I think the newer ones are getting pretty funny again.

[hellogorgeous]

the show is fine....its still funny, get over it scenesters



qft

[IamTheINDUSTRY]

i'm gonna say it - family guy was never good.

[gilatron5000]

This show really is awful now.

I'll admit that I used to like it. But the new episodes are just not funny. I even watched an old episode on Cartoon Network, and I thought it was really funny! But then I watched an episode on FOX and wanted to die.

[billyboatkid]

I think it's still pretty funny.

It's not as funny as it used to be, but eh whatever.

[ThisIsNotDan]

it's slowly getting worse, but for the most part it's still pretty funny.

also, American Dad is atrocious. that needs to be said if it hasn't already been. the Cleveland show isn't looking good at all either

[WhoSaidThat?]

I loved this show before, during, and after it was cool.

[Charles777]

Sometimes I ask people what the word is, and then I reply,
"The bird"
And they don't understand what I'm talking about.

It's not cool anymore?

I think it stopped after those South Park episodes. :shrug:

FAMILY GUYYYYYYYY! DAMN YOU TO HELL!!

[jcoop05]

when in the hell are we getting a new episode!

[WhoSaidThat?]

when in the hell are we getting a new episode!
That's what I'd like to know.

[Charles777]

Yes, and I constantly pwn them with my knowledge of model ships, and scotch.

[acfrue]

cant blame you for hangin' with n00bs, pwning is like a drug. you just have to do it and having n00bs around you makes it that much easier.

[crappypunkrock]

I hated this show before and during it was cool. Now it's ok, i think stewie is funny. I can't stand peter though, he gets annoying. Family guy rips off alot of simpsons too. But it sure has grown on me.
