1. Family Guy is funny

Not "Brazillian Joke" funny, but funny. :patriot:

[AllegroRondo]

2. You havent seen the "half hour news hour" yet.

ewwww!

[Orrex]

3. Nor will I ever, but you make a good point

I revised the poll's question slightly.

4. Thank you.

I thought I was the only one who didn't like that show.
The baby isn't funny at all, he's disturbing.

5. I think it's hilarious.

[enigmatic]

6. Absolutely hilarious

One of the few things on TV I'll go out of my way to watch.

7. Anyone catch the My Pet Goat moment last night

I was literally LMAO.

[Initech]

11. Oh man, that was too funny...

And last night's episode was one of the best in a long time.

26. 'Prom Night Dumpster Baby'...so politically incorrect; so freakin' hilarious!

[Oeditpus Rex]

27. "Did you check your TC/IP server? Clear cookies? You want this dog?"

No thank you Ollie

10. Can't answer since both are funny

in the same way that All in the Family was funny - they both lampoon the worst in society and manage to make it entertaining.

12. Family Guy is awesome, American Dad sucks

As for "unfunniest cartoon on television", I'm going to have to go with about 90% of Adult Swim's programming.

14. i love Family Guy

i have four seasons on DVD and the movie, too. :)

16. I HATE "Family Guy" but he probably needs to make 9/11 jokes

My S.O. (who loves the show) told me that last night, they did some really tasteless 9/11 type scenarios.

But since McFarlane claims to have held a ticket for Flight 11 that crashed into the WTC, but missed his flight because he had been out drinking too late the previous night, he might have some issues to work out there.

20. Heh

He made fun of Bush for reading My Pet Goat, and he made fun of how people are afraid of air travel.

Issues?

:shrug:

17. Used to hate it, but it's grown on me...

Once you accept the "...remember that time I..." and "...it can't be worse than that time..." links to jokes, it's a lot more palatable.

That and accepting that his 80s references are not MEANT to be timely, but to resonate with his target demographic, it makes more sense.

Although it is weird to see video of Seth talking, sounding like Brian the dog. Somehow, it just seems ....wrong.

18. I like Family Guy but...

...I can't watch back-to-back episodes on DVD. I tried that once and the show kinda loses something when I watch it that way. It seems to wear thin real quick. One episode here and there is good.

[Deja Q]

19. It used to be good, but season 3 onward is brainless and tacky.

Seasons 1 and 2 had some vestige of a plot...

Rather like "The War at Home" - season 1 is politically incorrect and that's why it worked... but season 2 drops all attempts at any plot just so they can go south park on everybody and call each other a 'douche bag' or bleep a word every other minute...


FOX seems to think that crude language for the sake of saying it is what's funny.

[unpossibles]

21. you have got to be kidding.

Even if you don't like it, there are so many worse shows out there.

[martymar64]

22. South Park is MUCH worse!!!

SP still has a few brilliant moments, but all in all has gotten really stale. I could never get tired of Family Guy however.

[dysfunctional press]

23. American Dad is the Best...Family Guy sucks rotten eggs.

nt

[tonekat]

25. I only watch it for Brian's pithy comments. n/t

[Shell Beau]

28. I love it! Although it is crude. But that is why I love it.

I did think the babies in the garbage can last night was disturbing though!
