Family Guy

[Shaunbadia]

What the fuck? Seth MacFarlane did a cross over episode with all three of his shows?

It was three episodes (One of each show) that aired one after another in which a hurricane swept through each town , culminating in this scene at the end of the American Dad episode.

Here's the scene:


Sorry the video quality sucks, but it was the only one with semi-decent sound.

[Knightboat]

Oh right, I'm just looking at it on Wikipedia now.

That sounds... that sounds awful.

[Handsome B. Wonderful]

When Cleveland and Peter show up is arguably the worst moment in the AD! episode, unsurprisingly.

[Shaunbadia]

Night of the Hurricane in three nutshells

TCS - Explain the premise of the event, Religion is stupid, Long Song, the family ignore Junior's logic and thank God for still being alive.
FG - Uncomfortable reverse Meg bashing, Uncomfortable family argument, Brian's weird trip, Meg is back to being a punching bag.
AD - Poseidon adventure parody, brutal acts of violence befalling Hayley and Francine, Crossover moment

I don't watch Family Guy anymore but is this the bad acid trip you're talking about?



I haven't seen the whole episode but I remember watching this on YouTube and liking it. Granted; it's not funny, but I think it's clever. I think that's why I like Superjail! so much.

ugh THAT episode..... honestly so fucking terrible. worse than any simpsons episode, ever.

I actuallyy thought it was kind of a brave move until they pretty much hit the reset button with the Griffin's going back to treating Meg like shit. Stewie's last line saved that whole unbelievable scene. I can't remember it exactly but it was something like:

"Tonight's Family Guy dealt with drug abuse, to find out more, visit your local library. There's probably a guy behind there who sells drugs"

[Jesse Pinkman]

"Tonight's Family Guy was a very special episode about drug abuse, but the simple fact is, it's no laughing matter. To learn more about drugs, visit your local library. There's probably a guy behind there who sells drugs."

Well then your in for a treat, here's a Family Guy promo that doesn't really say anything about the show other than "It contains fart jokes"

Yeah, that's the one all right. I guess it is kind of impressive from a pure animation standpoint, but knowing how disturbing it was, I just can't like it.

[Handsome B. Wonderful]

From an animation standpoint it's been done millions of times before and done so much better.

[Shaunbadia]

Yeah, that's the one all right. I guess it is kind of impressive from a pure animation standpoint, but knowing how disturbing it was, I just can't like it.

If you ask me Family Guy's finest achievement from an animation standpoint was the Disney stuff in "Road to the multiverse"


It's a shame the quality of the recording sucks because it really is a good looking scene when you see it the way it's meant to be seen.

Is Family Guy dead yet?

What happened to Seth wanting to end it??

I guess the Flintstones reboot went belly up so were getting 14 more seasons of FG, ehh?

[CousinMerl]

One more thing about Family Guy is that I've noticed they have a problem doing dark humor, such as moments with people being killed or seriously injured: For example, moments like those on South Park can be pretty funny (usually in a twisted way), but when Family Guy does those they are most often unfunny and/or downright disturbing or unsettling. It might have something to do with how those moments of dark comedy are presented.

Another thing is this: Does the Family Guy crew don't care about the characters anymore?; in the early couple of years of the show, the characters were pretty different and had their own personalities, but now basically everyone on the show have seemingly turned into violent sociopaths with mental issues.

I am addicted to this shoe. Its story is very hilarious and characters are also very very amazing. Love this show and watch it daily online.

I used to enjoy Family Guy quite a bit but now its just awful. I still watch it sometimes just because I like watching the whole Animation Domination block (ok and because I enjoy criticizing it), but its drop in quality has been much faster than that of The Simpsons and I cringe to think what it will be like if it ever achieves the same longeviety. The only two characters left on the show are Stewie and Brian and even they often come across as shells of their former selves. I just can't bring myself to care about any of these characters anymore, which makes the odd couple of episodes a season where they try and go for an emotionally driven plot automatic duds in my opinion. And I'll end by saying Peter challenges Alan from Two and a Half Men as the worst character on tv right now.

[Hurlbut]

I used to love family guy but haven't really bothered to watch ever for a while now I guess just got burnt out of it. I hate how much they changed the characters mainly Stewie but Chris is a throw away character now and Brian is an annoying know it all loser now. Haven't watched American Dad enough to comment on it, but I have seen enough of The Cleveland Show to know its terrible.

[ManiacalRoboKiller]

I already posted how I feel about Family Guy to great lengths in another thread...but I'll just say 1st 3 seasons were comedy gold! Then after that the show took a massive slope to tasteless, boring, unfunny, drivel! The three Seth Macfarlane shows are kinda like The Simpsons.

American Dad- Is like classic Simpsons funny, smart, witty, and character development!

Family Guy- Is like the Scully years...wacky, stupid, and both fathers are jerkasses!

The Cleveland Show- Is like the Jean years bland, boring, and has outstayed it's welcome.

[Handsome B. Wonderful]

Even the first three seasons aren't really that great, looking back.

And it's also pretty sad that a show that's been on for ten years has 3 minutes worth of individual fart "jokes".

[lolcats]

I managed to catch a few of the older ones from season 2 that I thought was a season 6 episode with actual animation.

[Hurlbut]

You think they only have three minutes of fart jokes?

[lolcats]

And it's also pretty sad that a show that's been on for ten years has 300 hours worth of individual 5 minute long fart "jokes".

Fixed it for you.

[Handsome B. Wonderful]

You think they only have three minutes of fart jokes?

Even just three minutes is sad is what I mean.

[CousinMerl]

There was also this one thing about the show that I've started to think about more and more when catching bits of it on TV: why does all characters have that heavy-lidded eye look as their default expression?, it looks like everyone is bored out of their minds.

[Handsome B. Wonderful]

They are imitating those that are watching at home.

[Shaunbadia]

They are imitating those that are watching at home.

That kinda reminds me of the explanation Robot Chicken gave for why it's called Robot Chicken and why the chicken is strapped to a chair in front of the screens during the intro.
"You are the chicken being forced to watch this shit"
