I feel like Seth McFarlane went to karaoke bar, watched a woman waiting 20 minutes for the song to start while on stage, and then decied to use it as a joke
When you said “endurance test” it made me think it should be in some sort of physical gameshow challenge where people have to go the longest of watching bad family guy skits without falling asleep or having a mental breakdown
Jokes like that can work, but the thing it’s extending needs to be funny in of itself, like the Sideshow Bob rake scene If it’s just… this, it’s exhausting And it was already set up so halfhazardly
Honestly I was smiling until he started singing/talking, like there are hundreds of ways to make a punchline work there, have him breathe then cut away right before he sings, maybe even have the machine die before he sings, you could even do something wholesome where Lois joins and play into the absurdity. Idk im not a writer, but as a viewer that's what would have made me enjoy this moment.
It’s just because of how long it is dragged out of nothing really happening, also I know the animation has been like this for awhile but it would’ve been funnier if he was more lively
The point of the joke is that he knowingly spent that much time building up nothing. If the machine broke, it would have been less funny because the whole setup for the joke was that Lois was annoyed with his karaoke phase, so having the machine break wouldn't be Peter's fault, and therefor the "Peter is annoying" setup wouldn't have resolved. And if the scene cut away before he sang, then there's no joke because, again, the humor is in the anticlimax. Now, to the uninitiated, "anticlimax" sounds like cutting away would fit perfectly, right? Well no. Anticlimax requires an actual conclusion. The point of anticlimax isn't to avoid a conclusion, it's to provide an unsatisfying conclusion. Also, why would Lois join? Again, the cutaway was prefaced with "Peter is annoying" so Lois joining would both make no sense and not really fulfill any joke format. Long wait, then she joins. How are those two things connected in any way? Long wait, wait not worth it. That's the connection. That's the joke. Also see: ruclips.net/video/E-xhxS581Uc/видео.html Except in this case, the anticlimax is the fact that you know exactly what's coming and it takes forever to get there and the thing is clearly not the big deal it is being made out to be.
@@gagejoseph91 It's way less absurd because the Krabby Patty announcer was very enthusiastic in the beggining and this scene was less dynamic. An actual climax would have fit better.
I’m not gonna lie I chuckled just out of how I waited a minute just to hear him in monotone say “yeah I threw up in the sink” between lyrics. Honestly wasn’t as bad as I was expecting.
@@quackster8295 Bruh are you being serious? You call this lazy filler "comedy"? I don't even like the simpsons but atleast their fans aren't nearly as braindead as Family Guy fans
Not to mention. It wasn't just a one minute cutaway gag. It was a one minute cutaway gag with almost no actual animation in it. Peter only tapping his foot for the first 60% of it is one thing, but Lois is completely static for like 95% of the scene.
The worst thing is that someone was paid to suggest this, aprove this, and animate this. The fact that this was approved shows how much family guy has run out of entertaining concepts for cutaways.
Yeah i know right its worse than the producers trying to choose a celebrity to insult. (Cuts to the producer room with a bunch of producers talking) Producer: Ok guys next episode who should we mock? Producer: Well we could always do The judges off American Idol. Producer: Nah we've done that how about we do one on Alan Rickman. Producer: You idiot he's dead did you forget that? Producer: Well we could always do Milia Kunis Producer: Yknow I'm starting to think the more jokes we do the more this season is gonna suck.
Seth MacFarlane said they do that kind of gag when FOX won't let them do the gag they want. They make FOX pay for the rights to the video to spite them for not letting them do their original gag.
I feel like if family guy was all cutaway gags it wouldn't be so bad, but the fact that this is here just takes away from the fact that there's a plot happening in the background. The bit works great if it's just building up to the one dumb piece of payoff, but the fact that this is a cutaway means that we have to cutback eventually.
@@ewwpoorpeople5684 Yeah so what? I usually just enjoy those gags. Who tf cares about a story? This isn't Game of Thrones or Bojack Horseman. It's just for comedy
Better joke if he said "to explain how i threw up in the sink, let me take you back to 1987! Our story starts with me, yes thats me in that silver coat over there, I was the biggest hotshot in dodgeball..."
I don't think it was the worst, the idea was actually pretty funny because yes, the intro to Baba O'Reilly is very long. The execution was just very poor because there was barely any actual animation. Part of it is kinda beyond the animators' control because they aren't really allowed to do any additional movements outside of what the storyboarding department drew.
I agree. The intro being long did make it funny cuz it’s like I’m waiting for the song to start and Peter did do some leg movement and stuff but Lois was so still and not blinking so it made it kind of awkward
I literally could have written this better. No puke in the sink, just an extremely long wait during the intro... that's interrupted occasionally by Lois' nagging.
I have to say I agree the joke as an idea is rather amusing, since no sensible chap would ever sing The Who's Baba O'Reilly in a karaoke... But yes the execution was a bit off, I would have liked it better if it happened in a karaoke bar filled with young people not knowing this song and being pissed off about Peter not singing but doing these nonsense movements instead.
This is much funnier than what people are suggesting, which is to have it cut away right when he inhales. It’s funnier for him to wait through the entire intro without saying anything, but waiting until AFTER the first lyric to finally answer her question.
The Simpsons just needs to end. Futurama ended off with a memorable fucking bang, and I consider that Matt's BETTER work. The Simpsons is just confused whether it's alive or dead at this point, basically turning into Schrodinger's cat.
I see the joke they were going for. It could've felt more in place if they made it shorter and put effort in to Louis's movements. Otherwise the joke itself isn't bad at all. Afterall, a lot of their cutaways are suppose to simulate actual awkward situations in real life.
The thing is it is a complete waste of time. I know they were trying to be ironic but it seems like a complete waste of time. I would have rather spent 5 seconds laughing at an actual funny joke than 1 whole minute staring at peter slightly moving his body to a song.
Well, there is this one cutaway featuring a female frog in a bar being ogled by some frog guys. Idk the episode off the top of my head but that one is worse imo.
It's more insulting than anything that they would put this on the screen to waste an entire minute of the audience's time. There are a couple more cutaway gags that are even worse. One being a single frame of a radio being shown for an entire minute straight, no animation whatsoever. There are also those cutaway gags that are just taken from old TV shows that can last anywhere from 2-4 minutes, just awful!
There's a 10 minute episode of Dexter's Lab that is just Dexter's Dad lining up a golf putt. That's it. It's like a 20 second loop that plays for 10 minutes
There is literally 5 jokes in this: 1) Peter's Karaoke phase, randomly having a Karaoke box in the kitchen 2) Peter finding an excuse to not answer Lois for a long time 3) The Who : Baba O'Rileya has been criticized for having such a long intro, when it came out and to this day 4) The length of the song directly tie back to 2, which is to delay his excuse 5) Eventually give the excuse, but do it with a song that will delay his response and choosing Baba O'Riley, referring back to 3 and 2.
Honestly, I wondered how they get away with having copy written music in. Well, farm instead of fight could be a way around this without people noticing like everyone has
Just incredible, You can actually SEE the frustration emanating from the person who recorded this from, I'm going to say Netflix? as Peter prepares to sing his song. Truly amazing stuff!
@@ChuckECheesesKid9000 Heavy sarcasm is implied although I didn't say I wasn't taking it as a 'good joke', The entire comment was meant to be sarcastic. but it's ok if you didn't understand the joke. My dog burping would be a better cutaway gag than this shit.
It inspires a reaction and that’s entertainment! The fact that I actually searched for this specific cutaway and found someone had uploaded it just goes it show it had an affect! To me there is a number of things that make this funny; the anti-climactic build-up, the observation that the quality of most karaoke machines are piss-poor and that you think this is worse than Conway Twitty 😂 there’s something to be said for Family Guy always sticking to its own rules and not selling out to the network’s demands. This in itself is something the network has then been able to package and market which is probably why they can get away with so many 1% gags. There is something very Dada about these jokes but they are an art form! Reminds me of Andy Kaufman which is probably why I enjoy them so much 😂
I don’t wanna call the animators lazy since this probably wasn’t their decision, but somebody definitely made this gag just to save their already small animation budget
Yeah I feel like in the early seasons they moved more “human like” but now they stand still like manikins and blink once a minute. No disrespect to the animators cos like u said it’s not their fault but yh
I think it's hilarious the way it is. It's mocking the song for having an unnecessary long intro and Peter's dedication is also funny because he could have just fast-forwarded to the singing part, right?
@@Marcomanexists True. I find it annoying when people make out Seth to be a victim of how Family Guy is getting worse when he has the power to end his own show.
@@Ash_Queen16 he’s not a victim but if you notice, family guy has been writing increasingly stupider jokes lately. Stuff like the scene when Peter kills a whale with a forklift... you don’t exactly write a joke like that when your show is at it’s peak. I think Seth has just run out of ideas now.
@@Marcomanexists I know he’s not a victim,. I was just saying that because some people like to say that “Seth doesn’t write his Family Guy anymore and since someone else is ruining the show he has no control over it.” However he still voices the characters and contracts don’t last forever. And I agree, I feel like it ran its course.
@@anoniemonbekenden8159 I had to look that up to see what you were talking about...it's awful, but again it at least took the bare minimum of effort to photoshop that wig on and it doesn't last a whole set so it's not the worst/laziest
I get it but it didn't have to be so long. Just 7 seconds of the song and peter saying yep that's me, you're probably wondering how I ended up in this situation
I like to think that a lot of that money probably goes into cocaine or other drugs because many people in the film industry often use them. A professor of mine who worked at Cinecittà (Rome) told me that even, in the budget of a film/TV series they were making, they were also asked to count the money needed to buy cocaine.
They've been done in Dexter's Lab, Space Ghost Coast to Coast, Smiling Friends, way too many Japanese cartoons, & a deleted scene in Hot Rod that was probably cut for being too long & losing its entertainment value in rewatches. Who rewatches a modern Family Guy episode though, right?
There are tons of bad Family Guy jokes, but this one at least has something going for it in that it's a bit of a subversion. Like that alcoholic elephant one
And to think, they ratted out on Bob's Burgers for it looking like it was animated in a moving car. Family Guy looks like it was animated in a speeding semi truck, at 5:35AM, by someone with a massive migrain.
Modern family guy in a nutshell. “Jokes” stretched on for like a minute, just for the characters to literally say the “punchline” thus making it even worse.
This is what's called a shaggy dog joke. It's purposefully long winded and anticlimactic. The joke is that they managed to hold your attention for such a long time for no reason at all. It's anti-humor. It's not stupid or lazy. It's completely intentional and designed to fuck with the audience. I don't like shaggy dog humor, but I can still recognize it for what it is. EDIT: cry harder. Your salt nourishes me.
I feel like that's the bane of Family Guy's existence. Didn't know its humor had a distinct genre; I'd just thought it was dry humor that was executed poorly. A few of such jokes would be fine, but in my opinion, they're what the show depends on to make its audience laugh, and with them being used so frequently, they just get old pretty quickly, as does the show, ultimately.
Yeah, I've noticed that they seem to be intentionally making them last for a while. remember that one scene from S18 E1 where meg's boyfriend's head gets decapitated, and when meg comes to save them from the sinking ship, his head falls off again and Chris has to try and throw it back up? Here's the scene in case you have no clue what I'm talking about: ruclips.net/video/eEMI0icwPHg/видео.html&ab_channel=CorSal
It's not a shaggy dog joke. A shaggy dog joke relies on the floor being ripped out from under you, with every thread of the story being thrown out with the too simple punchline. This isn't a shaggy dog joke because you can tell from the first second what the punchline is going to be. The vocals are going to kick in, and he's going to say "yes." Think about Norm Macdonald's famous "Moth at the Podiatrist" joke, and imagine how unfunny it would be if, instead of the minutes of well written dialogue in the middle, it was just, "A moth goes into a Podiatrist's office," Sixty seconds of complete silence, "because the light was on."
The identity of modern Family Guy is their cutaway gags, not the actual story since they gave up story/character development long time ago. Even then, their gags are a hit or miss.
@@jaisotheunfathomablybased7135 It never gets brought up again with the exception of times they make him do dog stuff that is out of character for him. They even did an episode all based on Stewie's first words being "FUCK" but the problem was he talked before to people including his own family. It didn't add up the timeline, and I never could focus on the episode with that in the back of my head. This goes back to when I said how "they gave up story/character development long time ago."
I’m not sure who in the writers’ room came up with this “joke” but I’m pretty sure Seth had that person fired. (I know it wasn't Seth who wrote it because he hasn't written for the show in over a decade)

The worst part about this cutaway is that he isn’t even tapping his foot in time 🤦🏻♂️
Or bobbing his head in tune
They are too lazy to sync it
Yes he is
no the video is just out of sync with the audio, it wasnt out of sync in the episode but i get what you mean
No, the worst part is that they're not even blinking
I love how wonderfully animated this cutaway gag is
Look at how fluid Lois movements are
Right she doesn’t even need to blink
This cutaway gag is the definition of Illustrated Radio.
It would’ve been a cracked up type of funny if Lois during this whole thing had the smoothest animation ever seen in the show

I feel like it could’ve been funny if Lois like walked away or something, I dunno I’m spit balling hear but it just didn’t land
Maybe they have her screaming at him but you can’t hear her over the music and it starts when the drums come in
See that woulda been funny
Honestly, I think it would've if one of them was moving normally, and the other was a still image
I wasn’t expecting this to be so stupid, so I actually laughed when he started singing and then just admitted he threw up in the sink.
It was kind of funny after the setup lol
oh my god Matt Bellamy is here too? this video was on everyone’s recommended
@@spacecowboy1743 yeah, the video has to be pretty damn popular for someone to recognize me.
I didn’t understand what he said at first because after the minute of nothing, I forgot how the scene started.
I agree 100%. My exact reaction. The buildup is comprised of thinking to yourself "how dumb can they take this?"
This video really makes you realize how long a minute actually is.
This is my dad's favorite cutaway of all time, he still references it to this day
this is why you watch seasons 1-4
Or Season 1 - 6
@@RJIS I watch any season that isn't 1-6, personally.
@@RJIS it's probably less funny because people complain when they make harsh jokes
The modern seasons are ok too
@Daniel Carey Simpson’s has been garbage since family guy came out, you truly are a delusional fanboy
As a wise person on RUclips commented once, “American dad gets all the good jokes while family guy gets the leftovers”
This is the worst take of all time.
@@ALY-xc7fl how can it be the worst take when your comment exists?
No dude.
True
then the leftover is usually gud
Lois doesn’t move, breath, or blink for 50 seconds
"Hey, we got the license for this awesome song from The Who. What should we do with it?"
The title of this video is the truest thing ever said by the human race
They do so much of this bullshit now
Well, there is this one cutaway featuring a female frog in a bar being ogled by some frog guys. Idk the episode off the top of my head but that one is worse imo.
Idk man I thought it was pretty funny
@@comrade8185 you thought them staring at each other for 1 minute king was funny...
Yeah this was super lazy
Wait till someone decides to make a 10 hour loop of this...
OOOHH YEEAAHH!!
You mean this wasn’t the 10 Hour loop?
Nice
It's more insulting than anything that they would put this on the screen to waste an entire minute of the audience's time. There are a couple more cutaway gags that are even worse. One being a single frame of a radio being shown for an entire minute straight, no animation whatsoever. There are also those cutaway gags that are just taken from old TV shows that can last anywhere from 2-4 minutes, just awful!
0:06
**record scratch**
Yup, that's me. You're probably wondering how I ended up in this situation. Here, let's go back to the beginning.
There's a 10 minute episode of Dexter's Lab that is just Dexter's Dad lining up a golf putt. That's it. It's like a 20 second loop that plays for 10 minutes
And I'd watch it again.
Dear god no
I do recall. Pretty sure he ends up missing the shot too
@@EC-bp6qn I didn't think he ever even took the shot. I thought it just faded out
And the Rocko's Modern Life episode of a stationary can for 30 minutes.
Lois isn’t even blinking. She’s a still image.
There is literally 5 jokes in this:
1) Peter's Karaoke phase, randomly having a Karaoke box in the kitchen
2) Peter finding an excuse to not answer Lois for a long time
3) The Who : Baba O'Rileya has been criticized for having such a long intro, when it came out and to this day
4) The length of the song directly tie back to 2, which is to delay his excuse
5) Eventually give the excuse, but do it with a song that will delay his response and choosing Baba O'Riley, referring back to 3 and 2.
The worst thing about this is that he’s supposed to “fight” for his meals, not “farm” for them. Disgusting I tell you.
Omg I didn't notice that
Honestly, I wondered how they get away with having copy written music in. Well, farm instead of fight could be a way around this without people noticing like everyone has
@@Jonymankitty that wouldn't get them around the copyright, it's still blatant thievery, they just have the money to pay whoever to shut them up
I thought he said “vom”
The first time I watched it I also heard "Fight", but he's saying Farm :0
This gag could've been better if it was either shorter or if Lois at least said something to Peter during the instrumental lol
The intro to the song is actually that long.
Of if she started shifting around, and doing the waiting thing characters do
You misspelled “best” my guy
0:11 Past this point, Lois is completely motionless and only blinks once.
0:55 Blink
@@vkdkdslhd Yep, that's the one time she blinks
Just incredible, You can actually SEE the frustration emanating from the person who recorded this from, I'm going to say Netflix? as Peter prepares to sing his song. Truly amazing stuff!
@@ChuckECheesesKid9000 Heavy sarcasm is implied although I didn't say I wasn't taking it as a 'good joke', The entire comment was meant to be sarcastic. but it's ok if you didn't understand the joke. My dog burping would be a better cutaway gag than this shit.
It inspires a reaction and that’s entertainment! The fact that I actually searched for this specific cutaway and found someone had uploaded it just goes it show it had an affect! To me there is a number of things that make this funny; the anti-climactic build-up, the observation that the quality of most karaoke machines are piss-poor and that you think this is worse than Conway Twitty 😂 there’s something to be said for Family Guy always sticking to its own rules and not selling out to the network’s demands. This in itself is something the network has then been able to package and market which is probably why they can get away with so many 1% gags. There is something very Dada about these jokes but they are an art form! Reminds me of Andy Kaufman which is probably why I enjoy them so much 😂
Look in the top right around where the drums come in. It says "buy on youtube."
And here I thought the worst cutaway gags were the ones that felt like commercials. This one is just....wow.
Great song, awful cutaway
@@broadstreetbullies849 okay song awful cutaway
@@onigiri2032 great song. 😃
Hurry Up Shrimp is decent
@@harrambou9468 I don't think it's a bad song it's pretty good but it's not great like some classic rock songs
Does anyone remember that one cutaway gag where they literally cut to a music video and let it play in its entirety
I don’t wanna call the animators lazy since this probably wasn’t their decision, but somebody definitely made this gag just to save their already small animation budget
Yeah I feel like in the early seasons they moved more “human like” but now they stand still like manikins and blink once a minute. No disrespect to the animators cos like u said it’s not their fault but yh
Dunno I've been watching old family guy clips lately and this is the only one that made me actually laugh
@@XTad1 Very low standards
......$1,000,000 is a small budget?
@the sus lmfao family guy is good if you want to do something and listen to it in the background or if you're drinking
It would have been funny if they cut the gag’s run time in half and had Lois look impatient as the gag went on
I think it's hilarious the way it is. It's mocking the song for having an unnecessary long intro and Peter's dedication is also funny because he could have just fast-forwarded to the singing part, right?
No, they were just filling run time. See: Conway Twitty cutaways
This show WANTS to get cancelled I swear
Then why don’t they just pull the plug then?
@@Ash_Queen16 money
@@Marcomanexists True. I find it annoying when people make out Seth to be a victim of how Family Guy is getting worse when he has the power to end his own show.
@@Ash_Queen16 he’s not a victim but if you notice, family guy has been writing increasingly stupider jokes lately. Stuff like the scene when Peter kills a whale with a forklift... you don’t exactly write a joke like that when your show is at it’s peak. I think Seth has just run out of ideas now.
@@Marcomanexists I know he’s not a victim,. I was just saying that because some people like to say that “Seth doesn’t write his Family Guy anymore and since someone else is ruining the show he has no control over it.” However he still voices the characters and contracts don’t last forever. And I agree, I feel like it ran its course.
The best part is that this feels just like an edit where someone put the music over the scene
No, this at least had _some_ effort put into it unlike just showing an entire Conway Twitty performance
What about Conway Bieber?
@@anoniemonbekenden8159 I had to look that up to see what you were talking about...it's awful, but again it at least took the bare minimum of effort to photoshop that wig on and it doesn't last a whole set so it's not the worst/laziest
Conway Twitty is pretty dope though by himself.
I remember them ribbing on themselves for being lazy with Conway Twitty usage
Remember that time I sang La Cucaracha to Paul McCartney?

That’s not the point
This and when Carter has the excavator
The “I bought this song license some time ago and it’s about to expire, so I’m going to use it, even if it makes no sense” cutaway.
Fun fact:Each episode of Family Guy costs a million dollars to produce, the bit with Peter tapping his feet probably $5 gone right there
I dought it costs a Million dollars to make one episode
@@Mr.clean666 it does cost a million
NoNO NO NO
Most of it goes to voice acting and the writers
I like to think that a lot of that money probably goes into cocaine or other drugs because many people in the film industry often use them. A professor of mine who worked at Cinecittà (Rome) told me that even, in the budget of a film/TV series they were making, they were also asked to count the money needed to buy cocaine.
what the hell are all of you talking about this is literally the funniest cutaway
I enjoy the “too long to be funny” family guy gags because no other show makes them. They are a family guy staple and are quite annoying.
They've been done in Dexter's Lab, Space Ghost Coast to Coast, Smiling Friends, way too many Japanese cartoons, & a deleted scene in Hot Rod that was probably cut for being too long & losing its entertainment value in rewatches. Who rewatches a modern Family Guy episode though, right?
This would be kinda funny as like a RUclips shitpost, not something to put on actual television
This would be a great clip to put on Family Guy's official Twitter account.
Family Guy is a shitpost
they don't even blink
0:55 numbty
Lois doesn't blink until after Peter starts moving.
One time I went to grab a snack and came back and this cutaway was still playing.
The time for the lyrics for the song to start is the joke.
It isn’t a funny one
@@shady9044 True
Jokes are funny and have good timing
There are tons of bad Family Guy jokes, but this one at least has something going for it in that it's a bit of a subversion. Like that alcoholic elephant one
I laughed. It’s just so stupid, that it actually kinda becomes funny.
that’s the point of pretty much every joke on the show lol
Same
That’s what they were hoping you would do
Family guy in a nutshell
That’s the whole point of the joke. I’m surprised people are so annoyed about it. It is actually quite funny.
And to think, they ratted out on Bob's Burgers for it looking like it was animated in a moving car. Family Guy looks like it was animated in a speeding semi truck, at 5:35AM, by someone with a massive migrain.
Modern family guy in a nutshell. “Jokes” stretched on for like a minute, just for the characters to literally say the “punchline” thus making it even worse.
"OK writers, we're 90 seconds short on this episode"
This is what's called a shaggy dog joke. It's purposefully long winded and anticlimactic. The joke is that they managed to hold your attention for such a long time for no reason at all. It's anti-humor. It's not stupid or lazy. It's completely intentional and designed to fuck with the audience. I don't like shaggy dog humor, but I can still recognize it for what it is.
EDIT: cry harder. Your salt nourishes me.
I feel like that's the bane of Family Guy's existence. Didn't know its humor had a distinct genre; I'd just thought it was dry humor that was executed poorly. A few of such jokes would be fine, but in my opinion, they're what the show depends on to make its audience laugh, and with them being used so frequently, they just get old pretty quickly, as does the show, ultimately.
It's still a crappy joke though.
Yeah, I've noticed that they seem to be intentionally making them last for a while. remember that one scene from S18 E1 where meg's boyfriend's head gets decapitated, and when meg comes to save them from the sinking ship, his head falls off again and Chris has to try and throw it back up? Here's the scene in case you have no clue what I'm talking about: ruclips.net/video/eEMI0icwPHg/видео.html&ab_channel=CorSal
It's not a shaggy dog joke. A shaggy dog joke relies on the floor being ripped out from under you, with every thread of the story being thrown out with the too simple punchline.
This isn't a shaggy dog joke because you can tell from the first second what the punchline is going to be. The vocals are going to kick in, and he's going to say "yes." Think about Norm Macdonald's famous "Moth at the Podiatrist" joke, and imagine how unfunny it would be if, instead of the minutes of well written dialogue in the middle, it was just,
"A moth goes into a Podiatrist's office,"
Sixty seconds of complete silence,
"because the light was on."

Why did I laugh at this
Was it Peter's empty expression
Was it the eternity of the same beat

And now for the actual worst. Ladies and gentlemen, Mr Conway Twitty
I am so high that I actually appreciated this one
that was longer than markiplier being surprised that it was the bite of 87'
That was a nice minute that I will never get back
The identity of modern Family Guy is their cutaway gags, not the actual story since they gave up story/character development long time ago. Even then, their gags are a hit or miss.
Gags being a hit or miss is for everything, not everything can be a hit
@@jaisotheunfathomablybased7135 So technically I'm correct. 😳
When has family guy ever had character development?
@@tundrazzr3659 when Brian was dying and he had to learn to deal with the fact that at the end of the day he is an animal, a pet
@@jaisotheunfathomablybased7135 It never gets brought up again with the exception of times they make him do dog stuff that is out of character for him. They even did an episode all based on Stewie's first words being "FUCK" but the problem was he talked before to people including his own family. It didn't add up the timeline, and I never could focus on the episode with that in the back of my head. This goes back to when I said how "they gave up story/character development long time ago."
"We're $1000 over budget, how are we gonna make that up?"
I never really noticed before, but I find it funny that a channel named 'Bart' uploaded a Family Guy video.
Not as bad as the "Worse than the time I forgot to sit down" cutaway, but this is definitely second place
I love how it’s so long they have to remind you of Lois’s question.
No, that’s part of the joke. Lmao this Family Guy hate is starting to get so petty and lame
I gotta say, the animation between ,0:11 and 0:21 is stellar
you are all wrong. this is hilarious. I started laughing as soon as the music starts. I knew exactly what they were gonna do. this is brilliant.
this genuinely made me laugh, so now i’m worried about what that says about me and my sense of humor
Sometimes family guy is the funniest thing you’ve ever heard. And other times it just leaves you sitting there like 😐
My wife hates when people think that song is “Teenage Wasteland”, she’s like it’s “Baba O’ Riley!!!!”
