i actually really agree with this. i think that family guy is, deep down, kind of mean spirited. it doesn't have the same heart and soul as the simpsons did (come on you can't NOT compare it to the simpsons!). in the simpsons, specifically homer and bart are flawed characters who have their problems and make their mistakes, but deep down they care and they love others around them, and they strive to change for the better. the simpsons always wraps up a dramatic plot with character growth.
family guy on the other hand... i don't know i don't really get the feeling that peter griffin actually loves or cares about his family, or ever makes any changes ever.
i'm a cynical person, and family guy is too cynical for me.
Giggity Giggity Goo! >

Shut up, Meg >

being mad at family guy for making 90s references is like being mad at i love lucy for making 40s references >

family guy started in 1999 though. Family Guy has just never been topical.
A good example of making relevant, well-known references is South Park. Even after the show is over, everyone will no who Kanye is or Kim Kardashian or the movie 300.
FG references obscure, semi-attractive actresses that were famous for like 2 movies or musicians with one hit song. >

Okay but why should it be shut down tho >

Family guy was made for people born in the 80-90’s if you dont get the refrences your to young which means you shouldnt even be watching family guu >

so 22 year olds shouldn't be watching Family Guy? >

Seems like it >

Correction, YOU don't know the celebrities lmao >

Good comedy is universal and transcends time.
Family Guy really isn't that. It only lives on because 12 year olds discover youtube clips of edgy jokes from the show and think they're cool because they watch edgy stuff. >

I have always loved family guy, the old one >

I've always found it annoying, especially peter griffin's voice and most of the jokes are overdone and comes off as way too immature/childish for me, I've always preferred King Of The Hill that I would watch with my dad sometimes. >

King of the Hill is a lot better than Family Guy. >

I suspect that this thread was stared by a Zoomer who doesn't get the jokes because they're:
A) Too young 
B) Too dumb 
C) Too stoned 
D) A and B 
E) None of the above
F) All of the above
Of course the answer is D. >

Correct sir. >

tbh American Dad clears Family Guy >

HOW DARE YOU! Give a completely realistic and relevant review of that shit show. 
Signed, 
Someone who loved it as a stupid teenager in…..wait for it…..2005. >

hard agree. Glad someone else agrees with me here.
It's never been funny. OG Simpsons from S2 - 10 and South Park are far superior in every single way.
And i aint a zoomer either. I'm 29. I was there when Family Guy started. I was there when it was popular.
It was never funny. >

Personally I think American Dad is far funnier then Family Guy. I’m 24 and I just don’t find it funny, I’ve been trying to watch it but I’m underwhelmed >

I think Family Guy was made with that 80s-90s kid being the target demographic. In which case, they would know the celebrities they reference. 
That being said, I don’t much like the show either. >

I thought that was South Park's demographic, and Family guy was more what kids, or immature adults think is funny. Some parts were funny, but I hate the damn cutaways and now it is a mess. It should have ended a long time ago, and I am not going to lie, Even the two before need to end, sadly. They had their stay. 
I heard they are bringing back Beavis and Butthead, it wont be the same without MTV reactions (Music videos). >


The jokes are always the same. Its always like "Thats worse than that time i raped a dolphin with hitler!"

How is that the same as any other joke? Sounds completely off the wall and different than anything >

because then the next joke is "That's more fun than the time me and Willie Nelson had a three-way with the Queen of Batslava on the International Space Station!" (cut to: a scene of Willie Nelson and the Queen of Batslava having a three-way on the International Space Station) >

Soooooo many cut away gags >

It’s got funny moments but yeah I never was full into it. I liked American dad more. A lot more. Mainly Roger. >

Roger carried that show at some points.
That's okay tho, I love Roger >

I have always hated family guy. It's just dumb humour. There is no intelligence to it at all. >

Every show can't be big bang theory >

The funny thing is that big bang theory is also shitty dumb tv. >

I'm trying to think of which comedies could even be considered brainy. >

Not exactly a comedy but I’d say the humor in Rick and Morty is quite clever and may be considered brainy, also south park is pretty clever a lot of the time >

What would you consider Rick and Morty if not a comedy? >

Yeah it’s a comedy I guess >

It's just so... ugly. And hateful. With the most obvious, bigoted "jokes" beng rehashed over and over. Like - Jews are greedy nerds with big noses. Latina cleaning lady wants Lemon Pledge. And Meg is disgusting because she doesn't look lke a model. I remember the last time I tried to watch a FG episode, it was the one where Meg defeats bullies with the "power of gross", including mismatched boobs. I turned it off n disgust and just never went back.
