I wasn’t going to say it!
It’s a fine line… the sitcom “Spaced” and the early Kevin Smith films did it well
A little bit is affirming but too much makes me feel like I’m in a generation of manchildren
Can we say “f**k you” to Family Guy, then?
I never liked that show anyway.
Oh, yes you can. That show has to be just about the pinnacle of the whole “pop cultural references are funny in and of themselves!” crap-ola.
And an additional “fuck you” in that show’s direction for perpetuating the nauseating trend of “talking baby with attitude” characters.

I’m starting to like you, Sir. I’m starting to like you a lot.
And not in an ironic way.
Or a gay way.
Just, you know, in a totally non-gay, non-ironic, regular dude sort of way.

Haha hey, I un-ironically appreciate it.
Although to get immortalized in a Prongs Comixxx issue - one of my eventual goals for this board interaction - I’m probably gonna have to do at least something offensive and regrettable.

Don’t fret. I’m sure your time will come.
One of the things I hate the most about that stupid “Family Guy” cartoon is that a lot of the people that love it think they are special for loving it. Like they are really astute and clever for “getting” the “humor” of it? Yeah, sorry, Kids. I “get” it. I really do. There’s not anything to decipher or decode, actually. It’s just not that funny.
To me it’s like some retarded modern-day yankee version of a Punch and Judy puppet show (HAHA!!! That puppet hit that one and then the other one got hit!!! HAHAHAHA!!! They both got hit! HAHAHA!!! Brilliant!!!) or one of those idiotic live Mexican weekend variety shows like “Sabado Gigante” . . . weeeee!!! Loud noises! Yelling! Bright colors! Holy crap, this is awesome!
And don’t get me wrong. I understand and appreciate slapstick. “The Three Stooges” are genuinely funny. “Family Guy” is just . . . . uggh. It’s not for me.

I’m going to chime here…the best is the Zucker Bros pictures…Airplane!, Naked Gun, Top Secret, KFM, etc. No one does slapstick humor better than those guys.

That’s a good tie-in too. It can be stupid and silly and still be clever and funny if done right. Those films were great. UHF with Weird Al is great also. Heck, I even think Baseketball is hilarious.

Somebody once thought it was ‘strange’ that I could appreciate the vile and / or slapstick humor in ‘Ren & Stimpy’ but not in ‘Family Guy,’ as if these two animated shows share any DNA whatsoever.
There’s just no comparison between Family Guy’s limp pop-culture ‘gags’ and, for example, Ren answering Stimpy’s simple “guess what” inquiry with “gee, I don’t know…am I going to have to KILL YOU again!!!”
By the way, the earlier Pantera talk reminded me of the Beavis & Butthead episode in which they are watching a video for (I think?) ‘Cemetery Gates,’ and after Beavis comments on Phil Anselmo’s intensity, Butthead chimes in with “go to your room, Pantera! How dare you speak about your mother that way”

But somewhere along the line it became the standard and ironic veneration is now a bit grating IMO

Yes, we can. Family Guy, American Dad and everything that giant-faced cunt Seth MacFarlane touch are dogshit. One-note trash, i hate him, he’s an obnoxious, unfunny turd who’s somehow made a career out of being unfunny. I hope he hates himself as much as i hate him, but that might be impossible.
Oh, and in case anyone was wondering while we’re on the topic . . . yes, I think Beavis and Butthead is absolutely brilliant.
And an additional “fuck you” in that show’s direction for perpetuating the nauseating trend of “talking baby with attitude” characters.
I dunno, i might lay the blame at Look Who’s Talking’s door for that talking baby bullshit. How was that so popular?!

Merry Christmas, Jay. Boxset, Baby!
I like that there’s a “Look Who’s Talking Now” . . . and the kids are like 7 years old.
Really? They can talk? No shit! They’re ready for 3rd grade, I should damn well hope they can talk now. Call Ripleys! This is some mind-blowing stuff.
Oh, I almost forgot.
#3 features DOGS that talk (Sort of. I mean, we can hear them and they can hear each other, but no one else can . . . you know the drill.)

HAHAHAHA!!! Oh, my goodness, I’m going to crap myself! This is amazing! Seriously, though. I’d be kind of mad if I took my retarded kids to see a movie like this (because is anyone really going to bring anyone else other than their own retarded children?) and the dogs are saying they want to “play bury the bone” and calling each other “bitches” (yeah, there’s a line we weren’t expecting).
Wow. Just . . . wow.
Check out "people who liked this movie also liked . . . ". It’s pretty much EXACTLY what you think would be there.
Look who’s not fat, yet.
HAHAHA!!!

Totally agree with this ^^

And don’t forget BABY GENIUSES. Which has some redeeming cultural value, simply because it inspired this artfully negative review on the Onion:
…“it’s perhaps tempting to view producer and co-screenwriter Paul’s Baby Geniuses as a deeply personal work, especially once the film’s giant, deformed-looking robot baby starts to malfunction. Is this Paul’s way of wreaking revenge on a world that eats its young? Or is Baby Geniuses merely a horrible, horrible film that wears out its welcome before its opening credits and lumbers along like a slow-motion trainwreck for what feels like three and a half months?”
And speaking of rednecks…
I finally watched that WEST OF MEMPHIS documentary on dvd last night.
And I tell you…I IS MAYD. Mayd I is.
While I don’t have time to RANT (but believe me I is gunna rant about this shit) I must say I completely take my hat off to GRMPYSMRF regarding his comments on corruption and greed in the USA and the scumbags who grease the cogs of the machinery that runs that country.
A judge running for the senate and a prosecutor making a bid for the bench use the lives of three white trash heavy metal kids as pawns in their self obsessive quest for more power - left me sickened.
Absolutely sickened.
And those dumbasses who sat on that jury and listened to that twaddle about SAY-TAN- NIK worship, and listened to that “confession” given by a near mentally retarded 16 year old who was obviously (obvious even to me and have NO legal background whatsoever) being fed information by the police as to what to say next (“and…and…so what happened after the kids were tied up? It was…you said it was around 5pm but it was closer to 7 wasn’t it?..what happened after you molested and tied them? what happened? You cut them right? What happened after you cut them?”) and listened as NO DNA evidence whatsoever was presented and NO notice was taken WHATSOEVER of the alibis that the three defendants could provide - and yet STILL found these three kids guilty is just…
[shocked]
More rant to come.
But apologies to Grmpy…

Quagmire is funny as hell. But, I’ll jump on the family guy hate wagon for the first 3 or for years but the later episodes are pretty funny. I think they got better writers because some of the later seasons are actually pretty clever and funny.
I enjoy Family Guy to a point.
But it’s certainly run its course…
