That’s a lot of patrons
colonialism is bad, wah, the self hating white liberal is just so sad. wah.
no, no one wanted this except maybe rich white liberals obssseed with the royal family, think BLM is about black people and not marxism.
So why was Prince Phillip on those flight logs anyhow
I’m starting to think the actual target audience of “adult cartoons” aren’t adults at all, but teenage edgelords whose definition of comedy is being as outrageous and disgusting as possible
Agreed.
100% true.
It's been this way since Family Guy was revived from cancellation the second time.
@@motxmod I wish family guy clones would copy the first few seasons but instead they insist on copying the worst aspects of the modern version of the show. Why are there so many shit family guy clones. It's like copying zombie simpsons and then being confused when your show fails.
Yeah, you'd be correct.
Am I the only one who thinks that lot of “kids”-cartoons are more maturely written than most adult oriented cartoons?
No, you aren't
No, my dear. Most children cartoons have very mature themes
no, you're absolutely right.
@the hevy You sound like the kind of guy who unironically thinks racist jokes, constant swearing, and gore is Leh mature and complex. Do you happen to watch family guy, by chance?
Define "mature"
I find it very ironic that (most) cartoons geared towards adults are often the ugliest, most immature pieces of crap ever put out into the world, whereas cartoons 'meant for' children are often better written, are actually diverse in their art styles and animation, and can be enjoyed by anyone regardless of age.
very interesting point.
Exactly, shows like Avatar the last airbender, or Steven Universe, seem more mature, than the other so-called “adult” cartoons like Mr Pickles, Allen Gregory, etc. It honestly feels insulting that no effort is put into these shows and the writers just rely on repeated swearing, racist jokes, and fart noises.
And people wonder why more and more adults watch children's cartoons
Literally! Even We Bare Bears was super entertaining over Hulu’s the Duncan’s or w.e. It’s called✋🏽🙄
@@princenadroj9766 Did u honestly say Steven Universe with ur chest? They ruined the show in the later seasons.
“Are Americans really that interested in mocking our royal family?”
As an American, I can wholeheartedly assure you…NO. No we are not.
pot shots to euros maybe for historical jokes but modern no no we do not care
Are you also a woman that follows reality shows? Because I'm sure that's the target audience.
If we were? Trust me. Y'all would know about it. It would be filled with so much South Park and Big Mouth antics you would think they got lost in some sort of lame Scooby Doo cartoon that doesn't even have an animal. It looked like the show got too much caught up in so much UK Humor or British Humor that it really forgot what is satirized in the United States. That has to be explained to the audience. If a joke has to be explained? Then it is probably not a joke. So therefore? That is a well-deserved shot from a US audience that just doesn't get it. Because why should they?
yeah i almost never hear about them here, i didnt even know half the members talked about in this video lol
@@1986BNick Well South Park Made Fun Of Megan Markle & Prince Harry
"Adult cartoon" now just means "ugly artstyle and crude for the sake of crude written for 15 year old edgelords"
It's funny how "adult cartoons" tend to appeal more to teenagers than adults. Everyone I knew in high school watched stuff like Family Guy and American Dad, and now none of them do.
@@Niobesnuppa No joke, someone at my elementary school watched Family Guy. I still know him too this day.
yeah they took a look at rick and morty and said "hmm i can do that"
and even rick and morty has been on a decline in quality
I do not even think they will enjoy that shit.
I haven't seen 1 "adult" cartoon that doesn't have a shitty child like art style... Shows like Avatar the last airbender has better and more mature art, storytelling and action than almost all "adult" cartoons. The exception seems to be invincible.
I like how on Wikipedia it says Boris Johnson has "at least 6" children
Man’s got the weakest pullout game in the isles
@@budusbusham3324 The Atrociousness MULTIPLICATES if you remember the Peak of Quality in terms of Comedy and Voice Acting:
I DARE you all to watch ‚Cliffside’ and ‚Starship Goldfish’ and tell me that ist not objective Fact that ONE-LINERS (yes, single Sentences!) are better then - for example - all of Chibnal-Era-Doctor-Who!

@@loturzelrestaurant huh???
@@loturzelrestaurant you OK there hun?
It's because he doesn't even know himself how many he has 😅
The perfect example of how to use the F-Bomb is in Bojack Horseman, Because they only use it once per season and it always makes a huge emotional impact when they do.
Except in that part where he uses it for a joke, which kinda annoyed me, I thought there would be a proper f bomb from hollyhock at bojack due to his hatred and pitiful anger at his mother
@Mr Krabs is an Orangeman ????
Bojack horseman is actual pig shit
after season 1 , BH is straight dog ass.
@@doughnutsandcoffee8622 Now you're just speaking out of your ass
What show is better than BH???
As someone who actively dislikes the royal family, don't bring up the kids to this. They didn't deserve this.
Especially now since these kids have lost their great grandmother; well we can thank the Queen for one final act before she passed away; making sure this atrocity never sees the light of day ever again with a second season
apparently prince george threatens kids at school with "watch out, my dad will be king one day" so now he deserves it lol
Exactly, they don't deserve to rule over us peasants just because they won the birthing lottery.
I agree. I think monarchy is soo outdated in this century but bullying little children is so disgusting. I know that there are some terrible people in the royal family like Prince Andrew or Princess Michael of Kent but I don't understand how these things give people the right to slag off little children. These children are real people, they will have an active education throughout their lives and this stupid show might have a negative effect and make their lives worse by ostracizing them from their peers. And I know that they're rich and privileged as hell but it still doesn't change the fact that they are real people who have real lives and on top of that they're minors. If they had created new fictional characters it wouldn't be a problem but using real people, especially children, as a joke should be off-limits for any decent person because these children aren't in a place to defend themselves, not yet. And also it seems like the pedobear Andrew has more immunity than toddlers. That sumps up the whole show actually.
@@TrueBuddhaCat she only died a month ago
Jeez it feels like a week since she died
I never thought a comedy mocking British culture would be so bad that it made me _miss_ Holmes and Watson. But here we are, I guess.
300th like. Haven't even started the video yet so this comment is scaring me.
The IT Crowd and Toast of London are both crass and British, and both a thousand times better than either of these.
HBO’s The Prince is definitely more horrible than Jellystone in almost any way imaginable. Although I haven’t even seen it on HBO Max because I’m an Aussie and I don’t have it.
It's like the creators looked at Spitting Image and decided to do that but without the cleverness or effort behind that great show
Nobody tell him about full English
The Prince:
*uses children that were born into wealth who have no way to respond to parody, and proceeds to use one-note jokes that have been used for actual decades*
Also The Prince:
*Doesn't even bother to use Prince Andrew for easy jokes*
Or Fergie… or Princess Anne… or Prince Micheal of Kent’s wife Marie Christine…. Like, there are options
Yeah, like Diane. That'd be a real crash and burn!
The producers are probably friends of Epstein
i giggled a bit.
@@registheron9752 At least get her name correct.
They have achieved the impossible, and made me feel genuine sympathy for the royal family. Those poor children.
I am SO tired of every animated adult comedy having the same ugly art style. Would it hurt to actually have an aesthetic thats easy on the eyes?
You probably did, but try hazbin hotel and vivzies other show
@@stixinst5791 Helluva Boss?
@@SamtheBravesFan Yes.
@@stixinst5791 Yeah, but that shit costs money and imagination
@@stixinst5791 also watch Close Enough, it's got edgy humor but it's got a heart in it and you get the feeling that the characters love eachother
I hate that parodies use disclaimers to shield themselves from criticism. Using a disclaimer for legal reasons is completely understandable, but the whole "please don't bully us snowflake" part is hypocritical when the entire show is basically bullying real children who can't understand what's going on.
The disclaimer doesn't work it's like they came up with it FIRST then decided to write the jokes because some of these "jokes" are bad
It has made me ask the question, does anyone even know what George’s and his siblings’ personalities are like at all? I know next to nothing on this matter so makes me disturbed how adults are inserting personalities into people that are real, which is ironic as the disclaimer makes that the characters in the show are fictional. 😐
@@jameszweep I know, like children haven't even developed real personalities yet.
i love your gundramon picture
@@jaredwii123 thanks! My hope is that one day Gundramon can get a 3d model, so then it will be easier to mod Gundramon into things that don't have Gundramon.
Honestly, shit like this makes me wish someone would make a sitcom about the greek gods. It's just perfect considering how dysfunctional they were.
@@gwest3644 Lol You're probably right.
That’s GENIUS
WAIT BECAUSE IM IN THE MIDDLE OF WRITING A SCRIPT ABOUT THIS EXACT CONCEPT 😩
@@darkchylde7532 Hah, that's fantastic. I demand you finish writing that script right now.
naw...idk if you've ever read the comic but they're making an animated show for Lore Olympus. that shit is gonna be a mess.
This show has already aged badly when Philip died while it was made, but now that Elizabeth II also died, has made this age even worse. It’s like a fine wine… if you spike it with laxatives!
Yeah
Though I have no idea with the show, they describes the Royal Family like that is in cheap taste
It's like lemonade mixed with milk that's been left to ferment in the sun
Can't wait for the sequel The King where it's about Charles being terrible at being king because he's old and Prince George is doing all the royal work behind the scenes and being a Stewie clone, insert jokes about Harry hating his family and Elizabeth and Philip being zombies or something, done
@@iregretdyeingmyeyebrows5645 and Princess Anne killing all the fun.
I honestly have no idea why they would make this specifically for an American audience. Especially considering most Americans who follow the British Royals _like_ them.
They do?
@Vish B you didn’t know the fucking fallout ghoul had a following?
@Vish B Eh... it's more like how other countries view America. We don't really think about them until they make headlines... or unless you read People magazine.
We do?
@Vish B Americans in general love foreign countries and cultures. Britain hits a particular soft spot because we not only have a shared history and language but British culture is depicted as cool and refined in American media. The US love for the royal family is a combination of a fanaticism over celebrities and the alure of old England.
This is my problem with adult cartoons like this, where there is no clever or interesting writing or funny jokes. It is replaced with gratuitous swearing, gross out and violence. E.G paradise pd, brickleberry, Mr pickles, etc
This. All of this. A big aspect of character-writing, even for comedy is restraint. What are these character's boundaries?
Well paradise pd and brickleberry were made by the same people
This is why I stick to things like Bob's Burgers, Archer and Futurama.
Although I was was surprised how much I enjoyed Lower Decks, the new Amazon Prime show based around Star Trek. I like it even though I've never really watched Star Trek.
Agree. It's just not funny in any way. I have no problem spoofing the Royal Family but that puppet one the Brits do is funny. This is NOT.
tbh brickleberry was a guilty pleasure, but i agree.
Making George feminine stereotype was legit awful because one of the princes got made fun of by a fully grown woman when the fact that he dances ballet got public. Like he's not even a man. He's a child?
Even if he was a fully grown man, that's no reason to make fun of him for being into ballet.
@@tomb.524 Ironic cuz Billy Eilliot was a popular British film.
@@tomb.524 You're not wrong, but the fact that he's 8 makes it so much worse.
Tons of Soviet officials enjoyed ballet,and they weren't made fun of,and they were grown men,why must George be made fun of liking ballet while being a child
@@PirateCat822 Exactly, like ballet is art and even macho men enjoys art.
Who’s here after the Queen died. Making this show age even worse.
I am
Ditto!
@@avalasialove what?
@@Dantheferret ditto means "im with u" or "me too"
@@e.m.rivera8948 okay
Considering how the rest of the show is, I'm surprised every character didn't just boil down too "haha British people posh"
I'm British and I'm not a posh tea drinking snob who loves the queen like we get stereotyped as. To be honest the royal family bore me and I'm sick of hearing about them.
@@Xehanort10 well stereotypes aren’t always accurate but there is also the British stereotype of a Chav in a hoodie with bad teeth and can’t pronounce the letter T, is this more accurate?
It's not that Upper Class Brits are posh, it's that they obviously try so hard to be posh. Now that's comedy.
@@maxdavis7722 no
@@maxdavis7722 Only in London. And on the subject of Londoners, you forgot to mention the shanks.
I really feel sorry for the royal children as they're mocked in a show they're not even old enough to watch.
I'd barely say mocked. As far as we know they're nothing like the kids. They're not spoiled and neglected, sleeper agent spies, or... whatever the baby is
@@DDarkestKnight you're right about that
That's the worst part
They don't give AF
@@OliverHollingdale they will once they grow
On the subject of the main character being a sociopath and effeminate, I'm pretty sure that character is just trying way too hard to be Stewie because people loved him
Yeah but Stewie is a fictional character. I wonder how the real prince who this character was "based off of" would feel seeing himself portrayed this way😬
People loved Stewie because the character had actual depth to him, he’s not just some jerk baby. Well, prior to a later season anyhow.
Maybe he started out that way, but he quickly progressed from Seasons 2-5 to become a much more interesting and enjoyable anti-hero.
@@jjturner4424 is he even evil anymore?
@@sssunnyd7874 not sure tbh. I don’t really watch the post season 6 episodes. Stewie kinda changed from hellbent on world domination around season 2, with the start of the fantastic Road To…series he does with Brian. Funny enough, the first couple were directed by Dan Povenmire, creator of Phineas and Ferb.
@@sssunnyd7874
As far as I watched from the later seasons he seems like the most normal and "best" character of the family at this point. (Which is saying a lot)
Peter, Brian and Chris have become annoying unlikable assholes. Louis is a nag and is an occasional asshole. And Meg is now a joke and a punching bag.
The thing that pisses me off the most is how the guy voicing Prince George cannot do a British accent to save his life. At least Seth McFarlene puts the effort in when he's voicing Stewie and tbf its not too bad as far as attempts go. This guy doesn't even seem like he's trying and ends up defaulting to stereotypical gay voice.
With Seth I think he is doing the "I try so hard that is funny", he doesnt over act it sounds a bit natural in the context of the show.
@@julianpradarodriguez7336he got better with time and practice.
Family Guy for British people? I feel sorry for the Brits!

Why does Netflix and other streaming services insist on making bad comedies and promoting them the most
Bad mouth was a success so they want that piece of pie
They're cheap and writers can get away more easily with stringing together 15 second gags without any semblance of a plot.
At least this one wasn’t really promoted, so no one has to know
That’s usually how I can tell a new comedy show will be bad. Executives seem to think if they over promote a show, it will draw people in to watch the show. What they fail to realize is people will probably not tune into the show for the second episode.
Like most trends, the studios caught on too late. 15 years ago "adult" cartoon sitcoms were mostly decent, Family Guy was okay, the Simpsons was watchable, Futurama was making bank with re-runs on Comedy Central, etc.
But they waited until like the mid 2010s to start churning out rip-offs.
I’m certainly not against satirizing public figures (I.e. Presidents, Prime Ministers, Monarchs, etc.), I think the children of those people should be off limits.
I completely agree with this.
Right? The kid is like eight and his siblings younger. It's really shitty of 'em.
Yeah. You must be this tall to be mocked.
Yes satire is funny but only when done right
Eh i'm not against satirizing and making fun of evil, like the british royal family.
"Do you guys really care that much about them?"
As an American, I have no clue why Americans are so obsessed with the royal family.
As a Brit, I have no idea why we are obsessed with them.
As an Irish person, I can't really provide a third funny comment to keep this joke going.
as a german person, I declare this joke dead.
As another American, I also have no idea. Is there supposed to be some fantasy element to all the "royal wedding kings and queens" bs that gets slapped into tabloids over here?
@@wahoo. As a Canadian I can show you the picture I saw of those 3 people celebrating Charles' III coronation just for laughs(if I can find it)😂
It's so bonkers to me that they don't mention Andrew at all, that could be an entire show by itself! It's right there!
I know, right?
they’re okay with joking about children and a dead man but don’t mock the sex criminal!! that’s too far!! literally what was the thought process behind this?
@@vampirelibrarian777 To heavily paraphrase Jonathan Swift: "Satire is a looking glass in which one can see everyone but themselves"
Needless to say, Andrew is a little too much like some of the writers and execs behind this show. Making any jokes about his behaviour would require them doing some uncomfortable self-reflection.
gotta protect the minority u know
@@vampirelibrarian777 and you've just defined the American Liberal
Stuff like this make me appreciate Trey and Matt more. Not everyone can make humor like south park.
And do it for so long
@@anthonykeller1957 yeah, they are the directors for every single episode. It's crazy.
South Park despite the limited animation and some references and topics tend to be dated at least they do something with it and give it character. While it puts children in heinous situations at least they never mocked real children
@@agrubohub4009 they did mock some real children, like Honey Boo boo (and some others), but it was really well done, mostly using it to make jokes about the parents and society. Some South Park jokes got old but most (for me) didn't lost the weight, and I'm not even from the US. I do agree with you so much, it is about the writing and character.
@@davii2663 Yeah, I think they meant to show how terribly Honey Boo Boo was being raised rather than insult her.
“Was there really that much demand for a show about the royal family in the US?”
No. No there wasn’t, and that’s what is a bit infuriating about it. Executives are so out-of-touch with what people actually care about.
No one shouldn't care about the Royal Family. They have the right to keep their internal family dramas private just like how we have the right to.
I totally agree. America was founded in spite of the British crown not for it. I know they are our allies but we do not have to bootlick the crown
@@aruce9 Exactly. Also, this show isn't bootlicking, it's just clear right insulting the Crown.
They follow "trends" which just mean what some out of touch yes man thinks is cool and some more idiotic investors think is gonna make money. Yet since all these people seem to be involved in everything you see the backbleeding more and more. Everything has to be a weird mix of Family Guy, Archer, Simpsons and South Park. That's ALL "Adults" get that new. Yet children get some real topics and ironically might go over their heads.
@Aditya Chavarkar “black” she’s barely black, as if that’s even relevant, and criticizing her or making fun of her doesn’t make you racist
Considering the queen has recently died this is even more outdated
Yeah, I heard it over the news.

so annoying
Because it was made by Disney!
@@TommyDeonauthsArchives what was made by Disney?
My biggest issue with this pile of a show, besides it being not funny, and downright boring, is the fact it makes fun of real children who didn’t sign up for this. Family guy, South Park, The Simpsons etc make fun of kids, but they are all fictional kids based on people the creators knew from their childhoods. This show takes actual children who cannot defend themselves and pisses all over them. Orlando bloom is the voice for Prince Harry, he and Katy Perry are very strict about the privacy of their daughter, yet he had no issue participating in this mess that violates the privacy of other people’s famous children? I don’t get it.
I dont think it particularly violates their privacy since none of this is based on actual events or specifics, just representing actual people in an incredibly bad taste way. It's not like george himself is being filmed or present for any of this, which is the one good thing I can think of about this show.
@@Timeward76 I think it does actually violate the privacy of these kids. They are already in the media spotlight and things like this might escalate that attention. Also, they may experience increased online bullying because of this, and they still have to attend school where they may be bullied for their portrayals (real or not).
@@Sonnie-uw9sw I hadnt thought of that angle. Thats a fair point.
Boondocks did the same thing?
Simpsons made fun of entire generations of kids but because they're actually funny you don't mind it. This is terrible so you feel it's wrong for children to be parodied in bad taste.
@@that_deadeyegamer7920 Not at all. As far as I’m aware the kids in those shows you mentioned are not actual people. They’re fictional characters based on real people. As I stated in my original comment, HBOs The Prince is using real children as characters in their parody. Also, I never said I was a fan of those other shows.
I feel like it'd be funnier if they had the royal fam only be vulgar in private. The queen doesn't cuss and/or burp in front of ppl she, always acts perfectly. To see her go from her 'vulgar/normal' self to her queenly self would IMO not only provide more scenarios for humor but also in general be funnier than just watching her cuss around like a normal person.
There’s snl skits with that concept
Futurama's Mom is a great example of how this can work very well
Considering that Queen Elizabeth regards the Windsors more as a "Business" than a family, I think it would have been funnier and smarter if they'd treated her like a mob boss, and as mentioned, hold back on the swearing but bring it out occasionally to show the ruthless side. I mean, if you're going to pull jokes about Phillip dying, you may as well be equally douchey include the Dianna conspiracies.
Imagine the Queen taking a rifle from a beefeater and gunning down someone who annoys her, and no one can stop her because she's the Queen.
That would actually be a really funny idea
Hell, a comedy show about the Queen being a mob boss with the British monarchy being portrayed as racist (considering the funk the press made over Harry marrying Meghan that could make for a good joke if they do it right) would be pretty funny too.
@@eatatjoes6751 I think it could also be funny if they didn't portray the family as racist but the press surrounding them racistly trying to paint Meghan in a bad light but actually making everyone believe the family is racist. Everything they do makes it worse due to classism, bad communication, ignorance and arrogance. It could be a fun mirror to the British public (I don't meant to defend the family but this way I think it could have more impact on the
audience , if it were meant for Britain) but still with Grandma Mobboss the Queen lol
It occurs as though half this comment section can write a better show. The bar has been set low enough.
That would be entertaining. Like “The Sopranos” but untouchable. Meghan and Prince Harry want out the business but they’ve already been made. Prince Charles and Camilla want to advance but everyone is so loyal to the Queen and the late Lady Diana that they can’t find anyone in England to work with them. Prince William and Kate were hopeful about their future ruling the kingdom but given how much power the Queen is and how weak Prince Charles is, they both fear that the kingdom may be in shambles when it’s there turn. Prince George wants desperately to be a good Don but seeing that he’s only 8 years old, the pressures of the crown are already proving to be too much and he’s seeing bits of his grandmother rising up.
Why did they give Prince George an American accent?
Oh right, it's because the creator of the show wanted to be in it despite the fact he can't do a British accent. At least when Seth McFarlane does it the character is American and we can be blissfully unaware that Stewie is supposed to have a British accent. Seriously, I didn't even know that's what it was supposed to be until they made an episode explaining why he has a "British" accent.
family guy has aged incredibly poorly and wasn't very good in the first place but the episode about the origin of stewie's accent is genuinely funny for this. trying desperately to get the actual british therapist to hear his fake accent and the guy's just like "idk. can't hear it"
@Salvagain Mbala Wait. Hold the phone. Rex Harrison! Hahaha. I can see someone like Seth wanting to parody him since he’s such a musical fan.
@Salvagain Mbala I just knows he likes a lot of the same musicals I like because I’ll find clips of him singing songs from them. Oh man does he do a great Harold Hill.

What bothered me about the trailer (I didn't watch the series) was that a cartoon made an actual living child the punchline to adult themed jokes, most of which imply he's gay. It's a cartoon. You can easily create a fictional royal family to satirize. You don't have to target a minor.
Painfully accurate
I think It's sleezy to target a minor who honestly can't defend himself
Same thing in family guy
To everyone saying he’s a fictional character, he is also still a child

@@lukehubbard9676 The difference being Stewie Griffon was fictional.
What kind of a monster makes an entire show to make fun of an actual 8 year old kid which no control over what his family actually is. Do you really think Prince George isn't going to grow up messed up with this level of public criticisms on him, especially when HE LITERALLY DID NOTHING WRONG??!!
I get you, but he and his siblings will be fine(even with them loosing their great grandparents, Prince Phillip and now Queen Elizabeth II) they have great parents and by the time they get older this “show” will not be remembered at all; as it should be(plus, both Britain and even the late Queen were far funnier than this abomination)
Lol the show is amazing
HBO: "So Mr Janetti what were your contributions to Family Guy?"

Comedy is basically the worst if you watch a "bad comedy" at least with horror, sometimes it can be entertaining. Thriller and action too have decent entertainment value but with comedy, which is subjective anyway, it grinds to a violent halt if unfunny and can lead to absolute misery. Sure you can be bored with horror, but it hits worse with comedies.
I don’t remember who said it but I’ve once seen a reviewer say “when serious drama fails you can at least laugh at it, when comedy fails all you can do is sit there in horror and cringe”
@@curryfishheadenjoyer Yeah, I don't know who said that, but seeing a bad comedy is akin to torture. You want out and you are either stubborn, doing something for your job, or can't escape and it's akin to torture. At least, if the bad otherwise movie is any good at being bad, you can at least get SOME enjoyment. Doesn't always happen, but the amount of bad action where you are bored to tears is rarer misery then bad comedy you don't find funny!
@@curryfishheadenjoyer I was about to say soemthing along the same lines.

The hypocritical part of this has to be Sophie Turner voicing Princess Charlotte in this show mocking real life children while going on a rant slamming the paparazzi for photographing her child. She is not okay with her daughter's pictures being taken but she is okay with a whole show making fun of innocent children....... Like? I am a fan of you but this leaves a sour taste
Her words: "It's (expletive) creepy that grown old men taking pictures of a baby without their permission. I'm sickened, I'm disgusted and I'm respectfully asking everyone to stop following us around and stop trying to take pictures of our daughter and especially printing them"
EDIT: because some of you are missing the point. I am not equating the invasion of Willa's (Sophie's daughter) privacy to the mockery of the royal children on the show. I am merely saying it is hypocritical how Sophie had been so publicly protective of her daughter, someone who was innocent and never chose this life but was subjected to this, and yet participated in a show whose main premise is mocking the children of the royal family, who are similarly innocent and never chose this life either. I didn't think this was too difficult to understand, but if you must require such details and try to debate me on specifics, you are missing the point.
Sighs EDIT 2: Me saying that Sophie is hypocritical doesn't mean I support or wish that her daughter would be photographed by the paparazzi. Me pointing out contradictions doesn't equate to me wishing her ill. I don't believe ANY children should be exploited by the entertainment industry. I am just saying that Sophie should be on the same team as us who are against this show since she is so protective of her daughter and this show is making fun of other children but I guess not
I am tired of having to explain myself since my original comment was very clear. If you must defend Sophie, go ahead. But my statement still stands. I am going to mute this now because I fear that idiocy is contagious.

The "kill me now" joke at 11:17 could have actually been almost funny if the prince's servant made a "oh I'd love to" aside. The joke literally writes itself, and they couldn't even do that. They dropped the ball on an easy joke that seems the obvious one to make

And I can’t even see how the Royal Family would be offended by this…there’s no reality in it to imply anything.
If they REALLY wanted to offend the Royals, they’d have made jokes about Prince Andrew’s association with Epstein and Princess Diana’s death. THAT would have set them off.
I loved when the Queen met with Daniel Craig, that was actually her idea, they wanted to get an actress for her part, but she said she wanted to actually do it, I love Queen Elizabeth, that whole skit of her meeting him, and then coming out of the helicopter like James Bond, was all her idea. The helicopter wasn’t actually her, but still ❤️
It is this show that ultimately has turned me off of most “adult” animated shows. Immediately seeing the trailer made me see this as ANOTHER Family Guy clone, and watching the first episode on RUclips didn’t help at all. I am okay to admit that I enjoy watching animated shows aimed at younger audiences like The Owl House or Amphibia as they are pleasing to look at and handle certain subject matters better then this show could, and they are FUNNIER.
On another note, I appreciate Cynical Reviews bringing up that the trailer was released just before the show was streamed. When I first saw the trailer myself and when it was going to air, I figured this move was done to avoid any negative press they knew was coming.

The queen of England lived through many years of tragic events and continued on. When this show came out, she died less than a year later. Coincidence? I think not.
It’s funny how Family Guy knock offs continue to make their bootleg versions of Stewie a small evil child/baby. Family Guy themselves realized how old this joke got and dropped it in later seasons

This makes me really appreciate the Windsors, a live action comedy about the royal family. First off they don't even show the Queen or her husband, or the minor kids.

I’m an American and I can honestly say that I’ve enjoyed British shows’s parodies of the Royal Family (mainly Spitting Image though) WAY fucking more than I enjoy a single second of this show. I can not believe that Family Guy clones are STILL being made, when it is very clear that everybody who isn’t paid to make them fucking HATES them!
@@Slippin_Jimmy1012 The sheer amount OCP got wrong with confidence is hilarious. Spitting Image kept more on the nose… that being said I think The Windsors is probably my favorite Royal parody
@@zandaroos553 The Windsors is hilarious, and not disrespectful towards the Queen. Also the privacy of the children
Agreed
Yet another reason Futurama is amazing. Anytime they would reach an end of a production cycle unsure of continuation they would write episodes that could be a series finale if it was the last.
I'm appreciating Beavis and Butthead/South Park way more now. Especially since this came from mocking a small child, for, some reason. Like, why? Is it because of his family or something? What did George do? Follow a paper boat down a sewer grate?
Also, thank you for reiterating my hatred for Netflix after they canceled Age of Resistance.
Man, how this show aged like milk!
They should have seen that coming, considering the show's cast is mainly made up of people so old a gust of wind could send them to Scotland.
I love this show
Ummm… Honestly? In the ‘States, the Royals are more like that cool-sounding toy that some other kid had in school. Like, it’s super exciting when you hear about it, and you want to see more. But, then you see it, and you realize that it’s not nearly as interesting as you thought. Then it explodes, and that’s super interesting. But then everything quiets down for a few years. A blip here or there, sure, but you don’t really think about it unless it’s shoved in your face. Eventually the cycle repeats.
Yeah that’s about right
Which part of the states are you talkin bout
Is this an ad??
@@Fanartist-Kitty Exploding Royals here! Come on down to see the Exploding Royals! Best show of the century, I’m telling you!
You, Sir! Have you seen the Exploding Royals? No‽ Why you absolutely must see them, and right now, it’s absolutely free… for just five dollars! Thank you, sir! Have a wonderful evening!
@@Toberumono yes indeed, come marvel at Corrosive Camilla, gaze at Explosive Eddie, and bring the kids to watch our Combustible Corgis!
👁️👄👁️ 💣🐶💨
If you want to see true satire of the British Royal family, look no further than the show The Windsors. It’s genuinely funny and makes jabs at nearly every royal (as well as several politicians).
That show is hilarious. Really clever.
I enjoyed that show. Charles, "First me, then you!" is really enjoyable. Though I can tell it's made by Brits because they keep on making jokes about Kate being a gypsy. Is it suppose to make fun of her not being from the Aristocracy, or did she really have family ancestors that were Romani?
@@jackiepierce6314 I don't think she has any gypsy in her, but the show is so funny adding this to the character, along with Harry's inability to read. Pippa as the villain has to be my favourite especially the evil soap music they play when she is around. Can't wait for more episodes
The windsors is a great show. It kind of lost the humour whenever they showed Trump, just because that has been done to death in every other comedy he appears in. But the first couple seasons are gold-tier
@@SleevelessSleeves Yeah, it always worked better making fun of British politics than American politics. But it was still good.
This looks like Alan Gregory and Family Guy had a baby, and that baby was raised by a South Park parody of British people.
South Park is at least written well
and they gave it f3t@l alchohol poisoning.
@@Grim_Sisterno it isn't. The characters are uniformly unpleasant and unsympathetic, the animation is ugly, the jokes are not funny, and the political takes are cringeworthy.
@@Attmay you should revisit South Park. The last few seasons were actually pretty ballsy
Imagine being a kid and having a show about yourself that you’re too young to watch, and making you look like a sociopath. Pretty messed up
They really tried to recreate STEWIE in that blond little kid. Bruh, you can’t replicate pure legend.
Also dont try to do that when its a real kid you are portaying, poor kid.
@@Pilsnor true - somebody's going to make fun of them and that's not nice.
They also tried that with Allan MacGregory, and of course the Cleveland Show.
@@JeffreyThrash at least Cleveland show was written by the same people who made Family Guy
@@waltercomunello121 its more that they are projecting something as personal as sexuality on to a real child, its not that they are making fun of someone, but royal or not they are just kids, just because no body is ever going to see this show does not mean its okay to make a real child the central carecter of a show that is just mocking said child without knowing anything about said child.
Love how everyone just brushes past the clip of gorden Ramsey's hand being blended...wtf?
Was a prank he did lol
Knew someone would mention bout it.
And your PFP
It strikes me that half of the "jokes" are variations on "isn’t it scandalous that these posh people are behaving incredibly uncouth" e.g. the Queen of England is swearing, hilarious.
This may be funny as a one off sketch in some other (better written) show, but you can’t write an entire series based on that premise alone.
I think that if you really needed the queen to swear, they should have kept it about the tarts. Instead of ending on a cliff hanger she would have said "those... fucking... tarts" after eating a poisoned one and ended the series there.
They don't even treat it as scandalous. It feels like a goddamn norm in this show.
That whole premise is so overdone and obnoxious, in this case even offensive. I think it encourages more of this FUCKING behaviour but making it FUCKING mainstream.
They should have gone the opposite direction, exaggerate her poshness, give her a Lucille Bluth schtick, and slowly add more and more comical protocol rules she insists on, eventually adding supernatural rules like “can’t go places without being invited” to play on the (lazy) joke of her being immortal, that would have had the potential to be genuinely funny satire in a better show (or at least have a few funny jokes in this one), but no they went “LOLOLOLOLOL OLD LADY DO A SWEAR”
@Louis Kirkwood Considering he's Greek and not British.
ah yes political satire without actually commenting on politics, perfect
As an American, I can't care any less about the Royal Family, except for Harry but that's because he willingly came to America and complained nonstop about the culture.
Great video, thanks for sharing.
Complained about British culture or American?
@@Lilah81 about American
What did he say?
If every Family Guy character looked like a ghoul, it would be this show.
It also needs to be about 28% more tedious than regular Family Guy... which borders on a war crime
😔
There's just something so painfully forced and unself-aware about most shock humour set in the UK
Add on the fact that it’s written out of the country and you have cancer itself
