It is sad how Meg went from being a normal teenage girl who was normally bullied but still loved to just a punching bag not just for the family, but for the whole show to abuse in general.
A RUclips channel it’s also because there were no female writers so they didn’t know how to right for a teenage girl so instead of hiring a female writer they just bully her
I don't get why they made the family hate her in the later seasons when the earlier ones she was shown to be just as big a part of it. I mean come on isnt the first episode about Peter helping Meg learn to drive?
Meg actually becomes homesick? She really should’ve just gone along with her new life. Does she just have Stockholm syndrome for the Griffins? But nope. She’s not allowed to have a happy ending. I never even get the point of the “cosmic plaything/Megward the Wizard” tropes. Why exactly does the universe have it out for Meg? Why would she ever feel homesick for the unapologetic emotionless sociopaths that are the Griffin Family? Why exactly can’t she be allowed to be happy?
For the same reason Bonnie & Joe and Peter & Lois, who are miserably married, never just get divorced. Come to think of it, I can't think of any character in Family Guy that is actually happy and content with their life. I get that the show is supposed to be a dark comedy, and that's why no one in the show ever has a happier life, but after 20+ years of this writing, you think the show could subvert its own narrative for a change?
StarViewer68 Cleveland actually found a new life with a much better woman. That does not make him a Good person but certainly he got his own show and seems pretty happier!
@@GTdba I'm not gonna act like anyone on the show, aside from Stewie which is ironic, is a good person but I just don't get how anyone would be homesick for the Griffin family. Again which is why I'm starting to think Meg has Stockholm Syndrome.
@@austinmorrison6953 That would be partially on Brian remember when the one time she stood up for herself, the family started to implode and he encouraged her to go back to being an abuse victim.
James Warden oh yeah, that goddamn episode where Meg finally snaps and talks back to her abusers and they get the gall to make it so Meg decides to be the “lightning rod for her family dysfunction” because she thinks the Griffins couldn’t survive otherwise. God that ending was infuriating.
It’s tragic, really. I feel like Meg has the potential to be one of ,if not, the, most interesting character in Family Guy. Think about it. How is Meg’s life affected by all the abuse she gets when she finally gets away from abuse? How will she handle people who are actually nice to her. Interesting scenarios that they are not willing to explore. So sad...
Something that annoys me a bit about adult cartoons is that they feel the need to have all sex, violance and drug jokes just because their an "adult" cartoon. You can make jokes that aren't about sex, murder, drugs and etc. Early family guy proved that
I remember a following episode where at the end, Peter gives a touching speech about Angela, which you can tell was really Seth talking about working with Carrie in the Peter voice.
Dakotasan To me this seems like they are doing this just to combat racism that the show and VA never was involved with. What’s wrong with people of different skin tones playing characters that have that appearance? What’s next, making all computers done by an AI voice. It’s called voice ACTING after all.
The “Better Off Meg” episode could’ve been a great way to send off Meg’s character in case Mila Kunis wanted an out if they had ended it the way Strider wanted
Though I absolutely agree that Bojack Horseman is the better show, make no mistake, Family Guy did have that "Brian and Stewie" episode where they were locked in the bank vault and Brian opened up as to why he had a gun in his safe. That was very well done (and one of my personal favourite episodes) and it's just a shame that none of the dramatic attempts since then have come close!
Honestly though. Even South Park handles dramatic and sad situations better than Family Guy could, and it's also a show full of gross out humor HDHF. Bojack will always be the best at it, but South Park is definitely a decent example of a show very similar to family guy that knows how to handle sadder issues while adding jokes to it.

@@johnnyblaze9874 I would say 1-4 were gold. 5-8 were not as strong, but were still largely enjoyable and funny. Anything after season 8 is pure shit. Only eighth graders watch new Family Guy.
Even though I love family guy, everyone can see that it’s been dropping off in quality for a long time avd they’re just not trying anymore. I still watch it for the older episodes as well as the Stewie and Brian episodes.
I stopped watching Family Guy a million years ago. But Better of Meg would've been a great way to write her character out of the show, especially utalizing something like the ending you came up with. It was clear after season two or three that they didn't know how towrite her, and were only kicking her can down the road. So this would've been a great way to not have to deal with that anymore.
tbh I would LOVE a Spinoff with Meg. Like they did with Daria from Beavis and Butthead. Or even make it a like a Timeskip with Mega as a young Woman - maybe in College or something.
@@888beach4ngels I like the old episodes equally as much as the new ones. The entire franchise is a huge guilty pleasure (excluding the Cleveland show). I am just glad people like the old episodes which proves it’s a good show and that liking the show does not make me a bad person. I have lots of guilty pleasures but there are shows that I hate that people like. I just have a bad time finding differences between opinion and fact because of how the internet are so loud when expressing what they feel about a show to the point that it makes me insecure as a person to dare disagree without getting backlash
Tho it might not be a modern Family Guy episode, I think that “And then there were fewer” is an actually really good episode! It does some well done jokes about mystery tropes, and the ending is unexpected, as well as Dian’s backstory and plan A really underrated episode
Great list as always, Strider! Although Seth and his writing team has noticeably run out of steam, it's good to focus on the high points of modern Family Guy as well.
What Brian said at 9:55 about Macbeth. That made me realize that Family guy reminds me of one of my favorite quotes from Macbeth To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow, Creeps in this petty pace from day to day, To the last syllable of recorded time; And all our yesterdays have lighted fools The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle! Life is but a walking shadow, a poor player That struts and frets his hour upon the stage And then is heard no more. It is a tale Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury Signifying nothing. I'm probably using it wrong here, buuuuut it felt appropriate.
another good one is Follow The Money, I love the concept of one dollar being passed around to pretty much every character seen in the show, and shows connections between unlikely characters.
Thank you for finally showing the newer episodes some love! I've been watching your channel for years, and was honestly kinda getting tired by how much shade you threw at this show. I know a lot of the new episodes don't hold a candle to the older ones, but I still enjoy family guy and I also enjoy your videos, so I appreciate your positivity in this one, cheers!
@@user-uo8ny1kj4c Family Guy went through some serious seasonal rot through seasons 7-13. It's not like everyone just decided to gang up on it one day, it went from great, to boring, to exhausting in a span of six years. It feels like only now that Seth actually gives a shit about the show again.
25:00 See this is the reason why I don't like Family Guy. I find that they CONSTANTLY BELITTLE MEG calling her fat ugly etc. What kind of message is that to teen girls who are already struggling with self worth and image?
Big trouble in little Quohog, Dog bites bear is personly the best, close thing to get development I agree that Better of Meg is the worst because it failed to make a change
yeah the only bad part is that to watch an episode of a season post season 19 i have to watch the entire season for a couple of jokes to make sense but besides that i like them
*Seventh* PhantomStrider makes “Best Modern Family Guy Episodes” Good episodes of 2010s Family Guy (I know there’s Road to the Multiverse, BUT WAIT, THERE’S MORE?!)... Am I dreaming?! QUICK! Somebody please request Mr. Enter to do more Admirable Animations, even though it can’t be on the best of Family Guy, like SOME of Modern (then again, even some of the worst shows can have SOME good moments) and the whole of Classic Family Guy including just one episode of the series in the 2000s!
Dude, you do realize he said he'll never do an admirable of Family guy, because he expresses nothing but utmost contempt for the newer episodes for the franchise.(Sadly that includes doing admirables of episodes like PTV or any of the "Road to" episodes...)
You know, people, maybe I’m wishing for something that I could only see in a dream after all. Maybe Enter SHOULD update his list of episodes he’ll never review.
I would love to see an admirable animation by Mr enter on that road to episode where Brian goes to see his mother, only to find out she's dead. That episode really touched my heart when I watched it at age 13 (ish). Just a thought....
The movies being parodied in the episode “Three Directors” are: Wes Anderson: The Grand Budepest Hotel Michael Bay: Transformers Quentin Tarantino: Pulp Fiction I haven’t seen the full episode, just gathered this from the clips I saw
Meg is personally my favorite character. Although most if not all characters are just bland or just caricatures of what they used to be (funny cause they're caricatures of a plain ol American family to begin with), Meg still feels relatable. She needs more episodes I think. More done right and not like #1 worst.
Love how you end your best & worst lists with the best side. It isn’t that big of a feature, but it is a welcome one as it ends off as more positive. Very thoughtful of the viewers watching!
I remember watching an episode about derby and in that episode Chris was very concerned about Meg's well-being. He even pushed her away from the danger and got really hurt. After watching this video, I was shocked to find out that he locked her in the warehouse just to keep being sympathetic in school. WTF?

One of my favorite modern episodes is "A lot going on upstairs" because, like "dog bites bear", it moves the emotional relationship between Brian and Stewie farther, as stewie admits brian is more of a father figure to him than peter, and he is scared of disappointing him. and the nightmare sequences are just incredible.
too many people relate to you and there are people like me that dont bring family guy down just because it has some modern jokes in it and some unfunny parts because deep down they are still good but just not as good.
@@user-uo8ny1kj4c same i like family guy i dont think its a great and amazing show it has some bad bits in the show but its a good show even the newest episodes are decent
My favorite episode of modern Family Guy has to be Candy Quahog Marshmallow. Where Peter, Joe and Cleveland sing a Kpop song to convince Quagmire to come back from South Korea. Every character fits in with their original personalities, and nothing about the episode is sad, or miserable. It feels like a classic Family Guy episode involving a love story, without any cutaways.
My favorite modern episode is “JOLO.” After Peter his honored for unintentionally saving the life of a missing kid, joe feels like a failure as a person. Where he starts to live life to the fullest, and invites Peter, Quagmire, and Cleveland on a trip to Niagara Falls, where he attempts to commit suicide. But after saving his friends’ lives from a tram accident which nearly lead to them falling over Niagara, joe realizes that life is worth living after all. Definitely a family guy episode for the good book.
I wish some people would realize that Family Guy has actually improved, but people are so goddamn ungrateful, anymore! It's quite a real shame! Honestly, there are still both good and bad episodes of Spongebob and yet people still treat that show with respect, so why should Family Guy be treated any differently?
@@zo6679 Because it can teach little kids to be offensive. They're too impressionable. Adults who watch offensive cartoons know better so it's not a problem.
I like Family Guy but I respect those that don’t even though they seem to be so loud about it. I like Family Guy and all I ask is for people to respect that
I used too...but it lost it's thrill when my parents deemed I was old enough to watch it and then as I got even more older I began to realize, I just liked it for the thrill of not being captured, the taboo of watching it
i actually really like 2019-present Family Guy! they got rid of cutaways and they feel like really funny mel brooks skits honestly. that yacht episode was gold
It would have been way better if for the rest of the show, they kept Meg living her new life, meeting new friends, actually being accepted somewhere. I know it wouldn't exactly be Family Guy-ish. But at least it would have been touching, and she would have gotten some justice.
Goddamn, I gotta admit I gave up on Family Guy quite a few years ago but when I watched "Dog Bites Bear" I found it genuinely great & very heartwarming.
I honestly think family guy should of ended at season 8. While there are still some half decent modern episodes, it just needs to end, because Seth MacFarlane just obviously doesn’t care anymore.
I think I read somewhere that said Seth tried to end family guy by killing off Brian but fox and the fans hated him for killing off Brian so he couldn’t end the series.
Random Person ikr Seth actually said the reason why he made the season 8 episode Brian and Stewie is because he thought it was gonna be the last episode of the show, and honestly it would’ve been better if that was the case, but the idiots at FOX wouldn’t allow it to end. Same goes for the simpsons, which will probably run till the world ends.
4:29 Was Gilbert Gottfried’s voice actually part of that episode, or did you edit in that sample to censor the actual sound of the whistle? I remember in a very early episode when Lois used a dog whistle to interrogate Brian, and it simply was just silenced; no sample replacements, or bleeps.
There was a sad modern episode revolving around Christmas and it happened after Brian’s death and his replacement. Basically, Stewie is just very upset that he lost Brian. There is a moment in the episode where Stewie gets asked what he wants for Christmas and Stewie says “I just want my best friend back”. And he begins to feel guilty over Brian’s death. But then Stewie goes on this epic journey to try and reverse the past and keep Brian from getting run over. Brian and Stewie really are the perfect duo
I think the real reason people still watch Family Guy is because they always hope it’s returned to the golden era, and more often than not leave disappointed
I am glad to see you're still uploading strider and I hope that you are doing well and lockdown has been ok for you down under, I love you're content and I have been watch for several years and you're in my opinion the best creator on the platform.

Hello strider, you probably won’t see this but personally I would love to see a top three best and worst Bojack Horseman episodes because of the fact that the series has ended.

Even though I love family guy, everyone can see that it’s been dropping off in quality for a long time avd they’re just not trying anymore. I still watch it for the older episodes as well as the Stewie and Brian episodes.
Yeah I now only watch for Brian and Stewie, even the new ones. I cant stand many of the episodes
I stopped watching Family Guy a million years ago. But Better of Meg would've been a great way to write her character out of the show, especially utalizing something like the ending you came up with. It was clear after season two or three that they didn't know how towrite her, and were only kicking her can down the road. So this would've been a great way to not have to deal with that anymore.
tbh I would LOVE a Spinoff with Meg. Like they did with Daria from Beavis and Butthead.
Or even make it a like a Timeskip with Mega as a young Woman - maybe in College or something.
@@Kairos_Akuma That would be really cool. Just her trying to cope with people outise her family.
Family Guy should of stopped in 2009 but money. At least thier are some "funny" moments in the 2010s plus this year.
Well I still like it because it’s like DreamWorks! You never know if it’s good or bad until you watch it yourself!
Theres a theory that the creators of the show are making the show as bad as possible so it can get cancelled. Not my theory, just what i heard.
@@888beach4ngels Well it’s not working because I laugh at the episodes
@@calebkuti7897 eh, your opinion, but you gotta admit the old ones are better than the new ones.
@@888beach4ngels I like the old episodes equally as much as the new ones. The entire franchise is a huge guilty pleasure (excluding the Cleveland show). I am just glad people like the old episodes which proves it’s a good show and that liking the show does not make me a bad person. I have lots of guilty pleasures but there are shows that I hate that people like. I just have a bad time finding differences between opinion and fact because of how the internet are so loud when expressing what they feel about a show to the point that it makes me insecure as a person to dare disagree without getting backlash
Tho it might not be a modern Family Guy episode, I think that “And then there were fewer” is an actually really good episode!
It does some well done jokes about mystery tropes, and the ending is unexpected, as well as Dian’s backstory and plan
A really underrated episode
Agreed! Also loved: Wish it Want it, Do it, Stewie as Brian’s publicist 😂😂😂
I don't watch family guy anymore, but I love your 5 Worst/Best Modern Family Guy Episodes.
"Three Directors" was not Carrie Fisher's final episode. It was "Don't Be A Dickens on Christmas"
Family Guy has gotten so bad I tend to pretend the show only lasted 8 Seasons and that 9-18 are a fever dream.
I acctally like season 9 mainly cause of the two episodes than there was fewer/ road to the north pole
Season 14 and lower were the best
S18 is good
I pretend season 6 is the last season, and that “Stewie Kills Lois/Lois Kills Stewie” serves as the series finale.
Kendra Rasberry that would be a horrible finale
This video can be summarized as “that’s good” “that’s bad”

Thanks for gracing us with your vast knowledge
Great list as always, Strider! Although Seth and his writing team has noticeably run out of steam, it's good to focus on the high points of modern Family Guy as well.
I was unsure if he liked the show or not
@drsamw pepper 2 months ago they made a work from home episode
@drsamw pepper Stewie also made a toilet paper joke. I liked it but Strider didn’t 😥

Honestly Quagmire's mom is one of the few modern family guy characters I like
What Brian said at 9:55 about Macbeth. That made me realize that Family guy reminds me of one of my favorite quotes from Macbeth
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death.
Out, out, brief candle!
Life is but a walking shadow, a poor player
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury
Signifying nothing.
I'm probably using it wrong here, buuuuut it felt appropriate.
"5 Worst/Best Modern Family Guy Episodes"
Me: Wait, there's GOOD modern Family Guy episodes??
Nope.
Here and there.
hahahaha haah gooood one......
Yes there are. Lots if you look hard.
@@togedemarusiridescence7219 I'm just not a huge fan of Family Guy or any other adult cartoon, even though I'm a teenager.
another good one is Follow The Money, I love the concept of one dollar being passed around to pretty much every character seen in the show, and shows connections between unlikely characters.
That dog whistle joke was much funnier than it had any right to be.
Thank you for finally showing the newer episodes some love!
I've been watching your channel for years, and was honestly kinda getting tired by how much shade you threw at this show.
I know a lot of the new episodes don't hold a candle to the older ones, but I still enjoy family guy and I also enjoy your videos, so I appreciate your positivity in this one, cheers!
Family Guy is kinda making episodes that are good AND bad
Finally someone that doesnt shit on every new episode that gets made.
@@user-uo8ny1kj4c Family Guy went through some serious seasonal rot through seasons 7-13. It's not like everyone just decided to gang up on it one day, it went from great, to boring, to exhausting in a span of six years. It feels like only now that Seth actually gives a shit about the show again.
Dog Bites Bear is the only episode of the show that actually made me tear up a bit at the end, great episode
7:50- It's kinda funny considering Monty Python did this joke ages ago and actually made it work.
Yoham... gamblepudding... dives emoss eisanvanbeughen of Oom - That's all I can remember of it 😆
Can’t wait for “Top 10 Best Monty Python Works”! 😃
25:00 See this is the reason why I don't like Family Guy. I find that they CONSTANTLY BELITTLE MEG calling her fat ugly etc. What kind of message is that to teen girls who are already struggling with self worth and image?
I think that's why it's an ADULT show..you know, those shows for ADULTS. That's known for DARK humour..you know, humour that's DARK.
@@paigeanne1031 a lot of teenagers still watch family guy sometimes more then adults
@@zacharyrosemann and they are not the intended audience. Period.
@@paigeanne1031 True but most adults don't even watch family guy even if they are the intended audience.
Family guy is just lazy.
Big trouble in little Quohog, Dog bites bear is personly the best, close thing to get development
I agree that Better of Meg is the worst because it failed to make a change
The episode “The Unkindest Cut” is like the adult Equivalent of “SpongeBob You’re Fired”.
I thing south park is the one long running adult cartoon that still manage to be good
@Conrad Kuntz yea that still is a good show but I wouldn't put it up as a long running show it came out in 2011
yeah the only bad part is that to watch an episode of a season post season 19 i have to watch the entire season for a couple of jokes to make sense but besides that i like them
I'd agree, South Park and Bob's Burgers can still get a laugh out of me easily.
@@coolskeleton-wx2cp true but that was half way fixed in season 23
South Park is still good, but I have to admit that the older episodes were way better in my opinion 😕

PhantomStrider makes “Best Modern Family Guy Episodes”
Good episodes of 2010s Family Guy (I know there’s Road to the Multiverse, BUT WAIT, THERE’S MORE?!)...
Am I dreaming?!
QUICK! Somebody please request Mr. Enter to do more Admirable Animations, even though it can’t be on the best of Family Guy, like SOME of Modern (then again, even some of the worst shows can have SOME good moments) and the whole of Classic Family Guy including just one episode of the series in the 2000s!
Dude, you do realize he said he'll never do an admirable of Family guy, because he expresses nothing but utmost contempt for the newer episodes for the franchise.(Sadly that includes doing admirables of episodes like PTV or any of the "Road to" episodes...)
Sorry dude. John said he was done with the show.
You know, people, maybe I’m wishing for something that I could only see in a dream after all.
Maybe Enter SHOULD update his list of episodes he’ll never review.
I would love to see an admirable animation by Mr enter on that road to episode where Brian goes to see his mother, only to find out she's dead. That episode really touched my heart when I watched it at age 13 (ish). Just a thought....
It is for Seasons 14-18, you know that?
The D in apartment 23 had a swell point though, many people don't care about others until the next person get hated.
The movies being parodied in the episode “Three Directors” are:
Wes Anderson: The Grand Budepest Hotel
Michael Bay: Transformers
Quentin Tarantino: Pulp Fiction
I haven’t seen the full episode, just gathered this from the clips I saw
Con air too
Meg is personally my favorite character. Although most if not all characters are just bland or just caricatures of what they used to be (funny cause they're caricatures of a plain ol American family to begin with), Meg still feels relatable. She needs more episodes I think. More done right and not like #1 worst.
Love how you end your best & worst lists with the best side. It isn’t that big of a feature, but it is a welcome one as it ends off as more positive. Very thoughtful of the viewers watching!
The meg getting popular because of eating content is just Nikacado Avacodo in a shellnut.
I remember watching an episode about derby and in that episode Chris was very concerned about Meg's well-being. He even pushed her away from the danger and got really hurt.
After watching this video, I was shocked to find out that he locked her in the warehouse just to keep being sympathetic in school. WTF?
The characters don't have a solid personality anymore.

*COINCIDENCE, I THINK NOT*
@Google is going to take your data muahahaha giggity
One of my favorite modern episodes is "A lot going on upstairs" because, like "dog bites bear", it moves the emotional relationship between Brian and Stewie farther, as stewie admits brian is more of a father figure to him than peter, and he is scared of disappointing him. and the nightmare sequences are just incredible.
Those sequences are much more better than the ones in "Seahorse Seashell Party"
I miss the old Family Guy, and I’m sure *lots* of people can relate
too many people relate to you and there are people like me that dont bring family guy down just because it has some modern jokes in it and some unfunny parts because deep down they are still good but just not as good.
@@user-uo8ny1kj4c same i like family guy i dont think its a great and amazing show it has some bad bits in the show but its a good show even the newest episodes are decent
@@manuelcandia1940 I like your attitude
@@user-uo8ny1kj4c thanks
@@manuelcandia1940 np
My favorite episode of modern Family Guy has to be Candy Quahog Marshmallow. Where Peter, Joe and Cleveland sing a Kpop song to convince Quagmire to come back from South Korea. Every character fits in with their original personalities, and nothing about the episode is sad, or miserable. It feels like a classic Family Guy episode involving a love story, without any cutaways.
I love that episode
I hate that one.
I laughed hard at the Kpop video....the writers have DEFINITELY seen a few real ones. xD
I still do LOVE Family Guy even though some of there episodes can be mean spirited to Meg But they still provide good laughs even now and then
Now I'm curious. Why do the Griffins treat Meg like they hate her?
they just bring her down so they feel better about there worthless selves
@@jdawson7877 Ooooh, so they take their own problems on Meg.
Carrie Fisher was one of my favorite actors, she will be missed 😔🙏🏻
My favorite modern episode is “JOLO.” After Peter his honored for unintentionally saving the life of a missing kid, joe feels like a failure as a person. Where he starts to live life to the fullest, and invites Peter, Quagmire, and Cleveland on a trip to Niagara Falls, where he attempts to commit suicide. But after saving his friends’ lives from a tram accident which nearly lead to them falling over Niagara, joe realizes that life is worth living after all. Definitely a family guy episode for the good book.

@@carybeweary7209 yeah it was underrated
Meg is 18 not 17 remember that episode quagmire tried to sleep with her
I wish some people would realize that Family Guy has actually improved, but people are so goddamn ungrateful, anymore! It's quite a real shame!
Honestly, there are still both good and bad episodes of Spongebob and yet people still treat that show with respect, so why should Family Guy be treated any differently?
We can only hope for season 19. Apart from its animation, of course.
Spongebob is not downrigt OFFENSIVE and uncaring like Family Guy. And sorry Mate. If you polish a Turd, you have exactly that. A polished Turd.
@@Kairos_Akuma Modern Spongebob is extremely offensive lol. And a kids' show being offensive is way worse than an adult's show being offensive.
@@SukiNoKoe what? Lol
@@zo6679 Because it can teach little kids to be offensive. They're too impressionable. Adults who watch offensive cartoons know better so it's not a problem.
Personally I've never liked family guy, but i dont judge people who do, people can have their own opinions
Kaylee anime_6000 yeah
Me to imao
I like Family Guy but I respect those that don’t even though they seem to be so loud about it.
I like Family Guy and all I ask is for people to respect that
I used too...but it lost it's thrill when my parents deemed I was old enough to watch it and then as I got even more older I began to realize, I just liked it for the thrill of not being captured, the taboo of watching it
Finally someone who thinks rationally
I really appreciate how much you've mellowed out over the years.
Nice to see you upload strider !
in these head times
i actually really like 2019-present Family Guy! they got rid of cutaways and they feel like really funny mel brooks skits honestly. that yacht episode was gold
It would have been way better if for the rest of the show, they kept Meg living her new life, meeting new friends, actually being accepted somewhere. I know it wouldn't exactly be Family Guy-ish. But at least it would have been touching, and she would have gotten some justice.
I really liked "You Can't Handle the Booth." It wasn't perfect, but I found it to be really entertaining and bizarre.
The lack of character development of Peter because that guy is still a lunatic and still mistreats his kids
Bruh episodic cartoons don’t have character development why doesn’t anyone understand this
25:32 I never understand why Meg is so hate by her family or Seth McFarlane, she simply deserves more
Because parental abuse is hilarious

Goddamn, I gotta admit I gave up on Family Guy quite a few years ago but when I watched "Dog Bites Bear" I found it genuinely great & very heartwarming.
YES YOU FINALLY DID IT, IVE BEEN WAITING YEARS
I honestly think family guy should of ended at season 8. While there are still some half decent modern episodes, it just needs to end, because Seth MacFarlane just obviously doesn’t care anymore.
I think I read somewhere that said Seth tried to end family guy by killing off Brian but fox and the fans hated him for killing off Brian so he couldn’t end the series.
Random Person he actually wanted to end it at season 7, but Fox wouldn’t let him because it was (and still is) so popular
Neddy Boy that’s what is sad, fox is sucking the Simpson’s and family guy dry when these show could have ended on high notes.
Random Person ikr Seth actually said the reason why he made the season 8 episode Brian and Stewie is because he thought it was gonna be the last episode of the show, and honestly it would’ve been better if that was the case, but the idiots at FOX wouldn’t allow it to end. Same goes for the simpsons, which will probably run till the world ends.
@@tokyosr6617 not true since the episodes aired 3 weeks apart and it’s impossible to produce an episode that quick
4:29 Was Gilbert Gottfried’s voice actually part of that episode, or did you edit in that sample to censor the actual sound of the whistle? I remember in a very early episode when Lois used a dog whistle to interrogate Brian, and it simply was just silenced; no sample replacements, or bleeps.

I miss when Family Guy was good
WAS
I liked it more now than in the early seasons. A very guilty pleasure but we all have that one piece of shit we like
No? OK..
I miss the joke when peter is taking a bath and he calls quagmire. I laughed so much!
It’s getting better, don’t worry
@@squinos3255 If Strider picked 5 GOOD episodes then the show is getting better. TRUST ME
There was a sad modern episode revolving around Christmas and it happened after Brian’s death and his replacement. Basically, Stewie is just very upset that he lost Brian. There is a moment in the episode where Stewie gets asked what he wants for Christmas and Stewie says “I just want my best friend back”. And he begins to feel guilty over Brian’s death. But then Stewie goes on this epic journey to try and reverse the past and keep Brian from getting run over. Brian and Stewie really are the perfect duo
was just watching some old family guy before this was posted lol
Okay
I think the real reason people still watch Family Guy is because they always hope it’s returned to the golden era, and more often than not leave disappointed
I am glad to see you're still uploading strider and I hope that you are doing well and lockdown has been ok for you down under, I love you're content and I have been watch for several years and you're in my opinion the best creator on the platform.

Hello strider, you probably won’t see this but personally I would love to see a top three best and worst Bojack Horseman episodes because of the fact that the series has ended. Plus you seem a fan of the show so I think I speak for most of us when I say we would love to see this addition to your channel. Love you man keep up the good work.
I’m a simple person: I see a new PhantomStrider video, I click
Even with family guy's worse moments, at least we have those episodes that captures the more zanier, exciting moments that classic family guy had. Fantastic video by the way, hope you stay safe.
Oh yeah I love the boat ramp scene that is just so god damn hilarious
The joke about Las Vegas in "'V' is for Mystery" is probably one of the best they've done.
