What was your favourite Meg Griffin Moment 🤣🤣😂😂
None of them
shut up LS Mark!
When Peter placed a booger on her
When she wasn’t on screen
That one time she got kidnapped
Really hated that episode where Meg finally stood up to her family but just apologized at the end
And it was Brian’s fault she apologized too!
a hat in time :D
yeah, that infuriated me as a kid.
This might be the most original opinion I have ever heard
And after that episode, there was an episode revolving around domestic violence and trying to play for "realism"/. How. Freaking. Ironic.
Meg's arc is so fascinating to me. She was a badly written annoying teen girl stereotype in the beginning of the series, but instead of writing her as a better character, the show turned her into a punching bag to cater to the audience. "See guys? We think shes annoying too!"
I personally blame South Park for that, and for the edge wave that came to Adult Cartoons at the time
I think the issue comes with fans not liking her character so they changed it so that the writers made fun of her before the fans did. Then they dialed it up to the point where even the fans felt uncomfortable and then finally gave up when they realized that Meg was a lost cause.
@@nickrustyson8124 why South Park? What you mean by that? Can you be more specific?
@@nickrustyson8124i disagree. south park started before family guy. the 2000s were filled with edgey content, its not all south parks fault.
the treatment of meg as a character is unique and got to a point of nearly uncomfortable cruelty.
beating a dead horse. oe meg in this case.
@@nickrustyson8124South Park is still in the edge wave they just do a wayyyyy better job utilizing it
I still don’t understand why the Writers think making Meg Likable is so Hard when it’s so Easy.
The thing is as well, they already succeeded in that during the bully years.
Meg got bullied but still did a ton of honorable things which showed how selfless she was. That poem she wrote about hope was honestly beautiful.
But then the writers felt a need to justify their bullying of Meg by making her a bad person and giving her lines like "I'm part of a group that trashes Anne Frank's house every year"... like cmon how are we gonna root for a person who does that?
They should've just taken bully-years Meg and removed the bullying.
they dont know how to write her, which sounds like an excuse at this point after so many years. they can just hire someone or practice making teen girl characters in the show in the background if they wanted to start even learning so they can put more effort into her. I know some have daughters, they could literally take from their own experiences.
It's almost like Mila Kunis is the awful person they are making fun of huh? @@sarahweekes4829
Probably because Mila Kunis is insufferable
@@ArunaUtd Hell, I just read that kind of characterization as her being psychological fucked over by being raised by a self-destructive man child and a selfish rich bitch.
I think American Dad portrayed the daughter character better than family guy ever did. Haley was a sort of punching bag for Stan to throw jabs at, but she was her own character that was interesting and will be shown in a good light once in awhile when the focus isn't on Stan. Episodes show her good traits when they're about her. She has emotional moments with Stan too. Idk if this really made any sense, but Haley is a better Meg.
Not to mention a lot of the tension between the two comes from their differing political opinions. Peter just hates Meg because he finds her annoying.
@@phabiorules I agree. I love the episode from, i believe season 1, where they explain where this political tension comes from. Like their early moments and how much they loved each other, until she grew up and realized she didn't support this same side. I think it's a great dynamic between the two. I also personally love that episode Lol
She also dose not just take the abuse all the time. She stands up for her self. We also we Stan dose love Haley and care about her.
@@phabiorules Also, because there's a sort of justification, it always comes off more like Stan sees her as a dumb kid that doesn't know what she's talking about; and not like he just hates her.
Definitely helps that she's proven right sometimes, and not just a punching bag.
She's the result of an affair by Lois, if I remember correctly. It doesn't really excuse it but it does explain it.
Early Seasons: _"Shut Up Meg"_
Modern Seasons: _"Who's Meg?"_
Also modern seasons: F*ck off Meg
I mean, is it better to get negative attention or no attention at all?
@@XxHipxX no attention is better then straight up abuse, but it's just as bad
They’re going through the fazes of abuse
@@dabatman5187 faze clan
I never understood all the hate towards Meg, she isn’t ugly or rude to anyone. She just kinda exists.
she looks just like Lois who is considered attractive by the show's standards. It never made any sense.
That’s kind of the point
@@SarcasticArielMeg fat. Lois no fat. Fam guy
@@SarcasticArielmaybe she has a better body and no glasses? 🤔
@@Phosphor_Sco I call her chubby at best

Family Guy plays under Family Guy?
“Describe Family Guy to me.”
“Shut up, Mark.”
Thought it was funny huh
When I’m at my lois, I’m still a family guy.
keep cooking 🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
You were supposed to say "Even at my Lois, I Meg it happen."
Even at my Lois, I’m still griffin it my all
even at my lois im still brian my best
"That's me at my Lois, no Peter Griffin" - Denzel Curry
"Meg is pointless"
Meanwhile, Cleveland's kids are cardboard cutouts in the background never allowed to talk. Or Joe's kids except like once every 10 years, but don't worry, Quagmire gets all the time he needs to drag down an episode.
Meg is a main character
And now Quagmire's more boring because he's not allowed to be a walking sex joke anymore. So like Meg, they're just throwing things at the wall trying to figure out what sticks. Giggity.
@@dustinvance243 More than boring, he's an obnoxious Karen who wants to bully and lecture everyone around him
@@Tadicuslegion78And the writer made that whole speech for him to Brian because they wanted to show the audience “oh, he’s so based! See, we hate Brian too!” When all of Quagmire’s points are hypocritical. At this point Quagmire is just the “based and red-pilled” character
Meg is supposed to be a main character. She's in the main family
(first 4-5 seasons) Family guy is a show about a dysfunctional family who get into wacky shenanigans
(rest of the show) Family guy is a show about a family of awful people doing awful things to each other and strangers while reminiscing over pop culture references.
Honestly i still like family guy. Its just my trashy show I like to watch. Probably the same reason why people watch real housewives
My thoughts exactly this is what family guy is, not hard to come up with this fact.
First 6-7
To be honest, Meg's abuse got very old and tired before she became boring again. It's actually nice to see her get better treatment! 😅
I'm gonna take a crack at that challenge:
Family Guy is an adult animated Television show which showcases the adventures the citizens of Quahog get into. Its humor is usually derived from pop culture references, references to the 80s, or the shows unique "Cut-a-way" gags. It shows almost no continuity.
Edit: Sad that I have to even SPECIFY this, but no, this was not written by AI. I simply thought for a solid minute or two on how to describe the show without name dropping the Griffins.
I applaud how you were able to do this without directly referencing the family itself
pretty solid
@@LSMark family guy is about a dysfunctional family
Pretty good, only one problem: made using AI
@@keatonrozema5787 ..... And what, pray tell, led you to THAT conclusion?
I can’t stand what they did with Meg. When she FINALLY stood up to her family and called them out, I thought her character arc was going to skyrocket. Nope. The writers make her apologize and go back to be the punching bag. 😒 I got tired of the abuse for nothing. Not only does her family hate her, the whole town does and I never understood it for her character.
“Remember, if your family constantly abuses you, that’s a good thing because it makes everyone else feel better”
- family guy
@@YodaOnABenderare you actually trying to treat family guy like it has moral messages? 🤣
@@truanalain4266 I will when the show presents it like a moral message going on about that stupid “it’s important for someone to be the lightning rod and absorb everybody else’s anger” bullshit
@@YodaOnABenderI mean, it's family guy. they can do an episode about quagmire's sister being abused and how domestic abuse is wrong, but it's still family guy and you're still a moron for thinking that family guy has good moral messaging
@@YodaOnABender Its insane they really try to make it sound like she was doing the right thing. 😂
Family guy used to be about how a family guy tried to use TV tropes/Pop culture to raise his family, which ended up failing miserably and forcing said father to learn about it. It's famous for their cut-a-way gags to add comedy, which were usually an entertaining flashback who actually contributed to the plot.
Really?
@@jddi1527Nope, not really.
8:13 The site you saw wasn't an actual Family Guy wiki. It is a fanon wiki. Fanon wikis are wikis where people make their own series, episodes, movies, and games out of their favorite IPs.
It was always strange whenever the show tried to make her seem ugly or unattractive. It feels like that trope where a female character has glasses, but the moment she takes them off, she's suddenly drop-dead gorgeous. Like her high school friends fit the "unappealing buttmonkey" way more than Meg ever could.
Fr
When she worked as a TSA agent, she was the most attractive one working there.
How do you people miss the point so badly?
@@stijn3085 I'm all ears on trying to find out the point I'm missing apparently.
It’s more confusing to me because she looks almost exactly like Lois, who is apparently super hot?
Remember when the characters had actual depth and personality rather than just being one constant stereotype in place for a joke? Neither do I
"Hey Lois, remember the time we had depth and weren't just stereotypes?"
Imagine if this was a cutaway gag
Pepperidge farm remembers
Like Chris wanted to be an artist
@BB-te8tc If it was, then the screen would've just faded into an empty black void.
Genuinely a little depressing seeing those clips from "Chitty Chitty Death Bang" in the intro where Peter was genuinely excited about Meg's cheerleading tryouts and encouraging of her ambitions. That was actually the first Family Guy ep I ever caught on Adult Swim as a little kid 😭 It's so strange seeing that scene back to back with the lightning rod monologue from "Seahorse Seashell Party". Family Guy was never a show about consistency or anything, but it's weird to see it go from sugar to cyanide to just flavorless chalk dust today.
I never understood all the hate towards Meg, she isn’t ugly or rude to anyone. She's just there💀
I'd say Family Guy (intially at least) is about a dad (the titular "family guy") trying to raise his family from what he learned watching family sitcoms, "good old-fashion values" but applying them so literally/exaggerated that the hypocrisy of it being better than modern day television is shown.
Or its just takes the premise of the Simpsons household, makes every member able to talk, and add cut-away gags.
This is surprisingly deep. It's probably a more thoughtful take on the show than Seth MacFarlane himself has ever given.
Megs only trait was punching bag for half the shows run and once the writers even got sick of that, she feels pointless now!
To be fair, I prefer her current situation more. Yes, it's boring, but I prefer innocent boring characters compared to innocent punching bags (I am talking generally, it can work if the character stands up for themself, or learns to, or if the pain is more cartoonish than mean spirited and they recover quick).
@@medusasea791the other way is more funny though and she’s a fake character anyways 😂
@@justaneditygangstar I mean ofcourse, there's only so many times you can beat up the same character before it's just kinda sad. Like it's not morally wrong or anything, but at best, it's a dead joke, and at worst, it's just kinda... weird feeling.
It's like squidward. Like at a certain point, I just don't care to see him in pain. He's just a pretentious bitter asshole. I get making fun of doing "Avant Garde Clarinet" but I don't wanna see him get a toenail violently ripped out. It's just kinda disgusting.
Family Guy is a show about cartoon characters trying to preform a family sitcom as they gradually get more and more unhinged until getting tired and then burning out entirely as the seasons moved on. I still love the line where someone points out a contradiction or something and Peter goes "I don't know its all just jokes."
The "Live in Vegas" album really helps make my point clear
Honestly, this is something I’ve noticed with a lot of media tbh. A lot of writers don’t take criticism seriously.
If you say “I don’t like how Meg is treated.” A lot don’t go “ok let’s take a look at what we’re doing and what people are saying”. They seem to just go on an extreme. Either they do a complete 180 and make whatever was complained about worse in the opposite direction, or they just start stripping away bits and pieces without actually improving what’s left
It’s like if you said “I don’t like the sauce on this meat loaf, I wish it were sweeter” and the chef either removes meatloaf entirely from the menu or starts coating it in pounds and pounds of sugar. It doesn’t fix the problem, it just makes the problem different. It feels kinda, narcissistic in a way. Like they think their idea is good so to show you why yours is shit, they go on the most extreme they can with it and make it shit so they can then go “well, we tried it your way and you still hate it so???”
Honestly makes me kinda hate a lot of writing teams in that regard. It feels like I’m just being talked down to in a way
The Smiths from American Dad feels more like a family than FAMILY Guy The Griffins for a long time.
Big time. Though the Griffin’s did also feel like a real family in the earlier seasons.
I remember Mark saying in his every Family Guy episode review that everyone hating Meg is like Homer strangling Bart & it struck me that unlike Homer & Bart' s dynamic, Meg's only comedic angle was her misery. I even remember episodes where Meg would dissappear for the episode's remainder after one joke where something bad happens to her.
I imagine a lot of that was just down to Mila Kunis being very busy and not having much time to record for the show other than a handful of lines for episodes. She doesn't really tend to do much work now, but she was still a huge leading actress when in the 2000's and 2010's, and having a main or big supporting role in movies is far more time consuming than a lot of people really tend to think. Now though, she tends to focus more on her family, and isn't acting in two or three movies/shows a year, so her schedule is far more accommodating to record Family Guy episodes than it was 10, 15 years ago.
Speaking of useless things, it's crazy how the clone high reboot basically went from a charming parody of teen dramas to basically just a teen drama with a few jokes.
Family guy is a graciously animated sitcom about a kind father trying to the best for his kids while Baby stewie tries to outgrow his past evil experiences and return to the nice baby we all love. It really is a kind-hearted family sitcom.
Ah, the good old "I mistook a Fanon wiki with a FanDOM wiki". The former are effectively collective fanfics in wiki form (They're the ones responsible of things like Lucina from Fire Emblem being Peppa Pig's nemesis, for example)
I did not realize there was a difference...
I was so confused when I made that mistake with the kids next door fanon wiki. Like, when did all these characters get married and have kids?
@@LSMark yeah fanDOM wiki is the legit one, for better or worse LOL
I kind of want to know the context behind the Lucina/Peppa Pig rivalry, but also I think any actual explanation couldn't be as funny as there being no explanation at all and just letting the idea bathe in all its surreal glory.
Fanon = Fan canon. so as OP said, fanfics basically. Or commonly-accepted elements amongst a subgroup of fans that aren’t truly canon, but said group is willing to treat as true.
Family guy is a show about a family living through what is considered a normal day in rhode island while seth macfarlane occasionally changes the channel to a different animated comedy show every couple of gags
hey lois
Easy challenge.
Family Guy is about a group of actors playing the roles of a nuclear family whilst getting into misadventures that lead to either perilous, emotional or severe situations with inconvenient cutaways.
I see
11:06
"You guys always act like you're better than me!"
Family Guy is a series about 5 people and Chris who try to survive another day of their miserable lives, but if they die, they live again next week.
Singling out the REAL pointless character, I see.
I can’t stand how there are a few episodes where Meg can shake up the status quo like with her bond with peter on the college tour or when she stands up for herself and it just never amounts to anything and makes you question what the point of that was
Some dumb detail I notice about later season Family Guy episodes is when they do that thing when 2 characters are talking and you see the back of one character's head and it has a shadow regardless of the environment they're in. The sun can be shining directly on the back of their heads and there will still somehow be a shadow where the light is shining
0:35 oh yeah?
Family Guy is a show about a family who have many misadventures together or seperetly, with a bunch of fisical comedy and gags (their most popular format being the cutaway gags)
**cracks knuckles**
Family Guy is a TV series about the humorous day-to-day adventures of the citizens of Quahog, said humor usually manifesting in pop-culture references and cutaway gags.
I didn't use AI, I swear. This is me writing.
I like it how when meg actually stands up for herself, she becomes unlikeable
Family guy is a slapstick adult comedy cartoon about a dysfunctional family and their larger then life antics.
Boom did it. I deserve a cookie.
Family Guy (at least in the earlier years) is about a working class man in Rhode Island, struggling to be a father and husband, when his biggest influences were similar figures on 80s sitcoms, and the concequences that view has on his family and the world around him. (ToonrificTariq said it better).
Edit: I paused to answer the "challenge" and then a minute later, the same thing was said.
“When I was a young kid, at around 10…”
Your parents let you watch Family Guy at 10? My parents only let me when I was 13 and still only certain episodes 💀
My mum got really upset and banned me from watching after seeing a segment where Peter dreams about killing Lois but that ban only lasted about a week
@@LSMarkYou watched a LOT of Family Guy when you were 10, didn’t you lmao
I remember when I was 4-5, I would just watch adult swim or nick at nite. The only scene I remember was Stewie killing Lois in the episode when she and Peter went on a cruise.
@@LSMarkhow did you survive during such family guy deprivation
I can't watch it until I'm older (born in 2010)
My attempt at a family guy description:
The show follows a family of five in quahog, Rhode Island. The family gets into shenanigans everyday, and the humor that comes along with it is equally as random.
You proved your point that was ridiculously hard for no reason any description comes off as bland.
It’s a sitcom, it’s not a show you’re supposed to binge.
Try describing what the Simpsons or Full House are about

Does it count if i say family guy is about terrible people doing terrible things
Family guy:
An animated sitcom about a dysfunctional family in a dysfunctional town.
The episode where family Guy had her go "wow I guess I NEED to be abused" only for them to write a 'serious' episode about Quagmire's sister being abused (which btw they heavily imply that she's in the wrong or weak for) made it so I could never take any serious moments from quagmire as genuine
i think toonrifictariq perfectly described family guy.
a middle aged father who tries to apply television logic into different scenerios, some of the time tries to apply it to parenting. while doing that, also paroding pop culture, and current events.
I was also gonna say toonrifictariq's head cannon always felt like the best family guy premise to me
Basically that description also fits perfectly with The Simpsons
The sonic unleashed music in the background just sent me back to the past
Family Guy is an animated sitcom about a disfunction family and their crazy antics, with some cutaway gags.
That's the best I can do.
Hey Lois, remember the time LS Mark made a 15 minute video about our daughter?
Family Guy is about that time something happened and those who remember it.
I think I would summarise the plot of Family Guy as "Average Dad doing not-so-average things."
my man went to a fanon wiki and was shocked to find things that were fanon.
I DIDN'T KNOW THERE WAS A DIFFERENCE
i love how toonrifictariq put it
it's about a man who tries to bring fortune to his family through the morals he learned through tv. shit just makes sense
Family Guy is basically just Seth McFarlane's version of The Simpsons but with cutaway gags and more violence and ruder jokes and more swearing.
It felt like the writers wanted a gag character so they made it Meg which led to her ONLY being known as punching bag
I always felt bad for Meg
Cool! That's the female Gundam from G Gundam! I've been wanting to watch that show! 😁
This is the biggest flaw for a long-running show to me when long running shows who create their characters under a certain cultural era and then are forced to change them later. They ultimately forget what made the character special and just choose the more wacky traits and ignore the more nuanced and complex ones leaving the character feeling soulless.
Family guy is a comedic slice of life adult animation that centers around The Griffin Family and their weekly antics. mostly focused on Peter, the patriarch (that felt weird to type), it allows follows the exploits of his wife Lois, his 2 teenaged children Chris and Meg, as well as his infant genius/gay baby stewie and their dog Brian. episodes typically center around an A and B plot, where the A plot focuses on Peters adventures, the B plot will showcase the familys exploits (and usually how peters antics can have an effect on them).
although the show began more as a humble recreation of older 80's/90's sitcoms (think family matters or full house), the show quickly became more about surreal and sometime horrific episode plots (including the baby getting pregnant, or getting herpes, or building a time machine. or peter and his friends finding god???). you can actually gleam the original intention of the show from its theme song "but where are those good old fashioned values (in television), that we used to rely?"; the show was meant to be about a family trying to better themselves, usually gleaming wisdom from lifes many lessons from tv.
went a bit off the rails there, but its not impossible to describe the show
Family guy is about a man in his 40s using lessons from TV shows he grew up with to raise his family.
Would be interesting to see how Haley Smith, another daughter in a sitcom life, has turned out. Probably more, since American Dad has a lil more depth to the family.
I've started watching American dad again since i was a kid and man these later seasons do treat her with equal respect as the rest of the family with is little but equal. Everyone in the smith family is always equally in the wrong at times, it reminds me kinda more of it's always sunny now then family guy. Haley doesn't feel like a punching bag, she feels like a character who can be wrong and do terrible things but so is everyone else
@@twigwigsosoI quite agree and it’s also nice that they learn from each other and call out each other, so it’s more fair. Also Francine and Hayley are much better feminists than Lois and Meg.
The last I saw, Hayley was kinda going on an arc of turning slowly into Stan.

About show Wikis having episodes that don't exist, the logo you used was actually the Family Guy "FANON" site - fanon is a kinda spinoff wiki from Fandom sites, where 'fanon' (short for 'fan canon') is about stuff like headcanons or, in these cases, things fans made up for... fun I guess?
The infamous one is into the light a hazbin hotel fanfic which comes up first if you Google something that hasn't happened in hazbin hotel/helluva boss
Family Guy is about Peter Griffin and his family’s antics
…………
I enjoy the times they make Meg unhinged, but it's obvious the crew have no idea what to do with her character
Family Guy is a show about the misadventures of a disfunctional family
I know im late, but i can finally describe this show, "peter griffin, a well meaning father who has a hard time connecting with his family, does his best to please his wife all the while she worries about his actions, as his idiot of son and annoying teenage daughter try to live their lives, all the while, there genius of a baby and dog best friend go on wacky adventures together"
Family guy is about a dad who is obsessed with tv from the past, trying to find a decade to live in. and needs to learn to move forward. that's why in the theme song it has "It seems today that all you see
Is violence in movies and sex on TV But where are those good old-fashioned values... On which we used to rely?!"
Family guy is an adult animated comedy about a family and their friends and neighbors getting into various silly antics.
Family Guy is ultimately about the endeavors of a man who was raised on old-school family sitcoms, who tries to apply the logic of those "good old fashioned values" to raising an actual family. The lyrics to the theme song and the fact that the logo has an old CRT TV in it are there quite literally to denote that.
It has changed a little over the decades, but ultimately it can be traced back to that. What happens when you try to apply sitcom logic to real life?
Family Guy is about TV, it's about tropes, you can see this in the opening where the characters sing about how TV is always the same, you can see in the second section that all the characters act as if they know it's a show and the title itself has a TV symbol. Notice how almost every joke subverts common tropes, even when it's about politics you see them heavly criticizing the ideology presented in the joke, I can remember Chris showing up in a Trump joke and he said "Look! I wrote this joke(gets angry expression) THAT'S WHAT YOU DESERVE (type of people name I can't remember)" or something like that, it showed how Family Guy is even parodyzing jokes that take a clear political position, I remember those people who comment "haha family guy is wild, no one is safe!" Yeah, neither you.
Now let's take my favourite episodes, the ones where Stewie kills Lois, if we analyze it, it's played very meta and parody-like, Stewie feels like another Stewie, the plot gets bizzarre even for Family Guy standards, it was played as if it was the defenitive ending of Family Guy, and how does it end? It was all a simulation, Brian asks Stewie if people are gonna be mad about this and he says that yes they do but they should enjoy the ride. If that doesn't prove that Family Guy is about common TV tropes... I don't know what it is. Family Guy is the OG meta-narrative, that's why it works with it and with shows such as Velma it doesn't, because with Family Guy it's the whole point
fanon wikis are a bane to people trying to research any basic information about any series
Boo. Luigi jumpscare.
Hello there, Mark, lmao.
Family guy is about the misadventures of a dysfunctional family who each have their own quirks and wacky ways of solving lifes problems.
For the question at the beginning, family, Guy is a show about toxic family going on crazy adventures together, and despite their difference is somewhat loving each other in the end Sometimes
The Griffin Family slowly crumbles as every season passes by going on wacky yet horrible adventures.
0:25 I guess I'd say Family Guy is just simply about the random adventures and mischief of the Griffins and how each situation affects the family and/or their dynamic (until its returns to the status quo at the end of every episode)
Family guy is a animated family sitcom essentially. Just like every sitcom it’s just about a group of people who live together and get into shenanigans. There isn’t always a story, but every episode has its own story. With shots, the music, and everything all we’d need is a laugh track to be fair.
1:45 THAT! Yes I want to see the pitch bible for Family Guy so badly!!!
10:35 yo that thumbnail goes super hard
All right…here I go.
Family Guy is about the wacky adventures of the Griffin family, but a lot of the time they have to live off the tropes of old movies or shows and any other kind of pop culture, because the dad, Peter Griffin, grew up was born and raised with the morals and style of those movies and shows, more specifically the 80s, and is raising his family off of those ideals that he learned previously, hence why there’s so many random cutaways in the show. It’s like a show run by Peter Griffin himself.
I too was unsettled by that message Mr Enter would put at the start of his old videos when I was a kid, and the old intro he had for Animated Atrocities in 2014 because the music was scary-sounding
Family is an animated show about the family and their friends and neighbors as they get into ridiculous and over the top antics
I feel like the moments where Meg’s a punching bag would be more funny if she just took it in stride to a ridiculous degree.
Imagine if the scenes where Peter hits her, she just doesn’t react and/or is upset by something else like for example that episode where the Griffins hide in the attic from burglars, when Peter hits her with a bat, she’s upset that it isn’t a dream.
Maybe Seahorse Seashell Party has Meg act smugly about her insane durability rather than standing up for herself.
Family Guy is a show about a family which may or my not be insane getting themselves and the city and by extention the multiverse into chaos involving cutaways
Challenge accepted. Family guy is about a family dealing with day to day issues relating to the everyday person with curaway gags and nostalgic humor. Bam done.
