Please make me feel less alone in my hatred of family guy

I didn't used to hate it. When I was in my teens, I thought a few jokes were alright.

Now I REALLY hate it though and most of the people that really like it.

I hear it's much better when you're high.

I don't know if being high would make me any less repulsed at the fantasies of a teenaged boy who grew up in the 80s

I shouldn't be voicing my opinion at all, since I have been happily enjoying South Park lately. :/

Especially when they cite South Park as an example, because they are actually consistently funny.

Family Guy is awful shite and the only thing they show on Adult Swim I really actively despise.

South Park has its problems in its later years but is orders of magnitude better even when its at its worst.

I'll admit it, I've never gotten around to getting into Family Guy.

Family Guy is the perfect Hollywood arc, done at superspeed

Scrappy underdog; funny, relevant, risks, but not too far

Mild success: holy shit really? Funny, sorta relevant, hard pushing of risky jokes (in terms of subject matter, workability, everything) some pluses, some failures

Full on success; Star Wars parodies, overblown bullshit, unaware that you've become what you mocked.

I just figure Seth's got enough money, so why do I need to encourage him by watching his show?

I think that Superion kind of bagged this topic as far as why I dislike it so much

@slack: funny how that works.

Mrs. Cakes said, (239 days ago)

Yep, Superion pretty much summed up my feelings on Family Guy.

The reason I didn't like South Park is because in it's earlier episodes it tried too hard to shock and gross out, but come on, I've had the internet since I was 9 years old. Nothing can shock or gross me out. Clever social commentary is pretty cool though.

it started out ok but now it's just terrible

I don't like it but I don't hate it. Like most TV, it doesn't even register on my radar due to its meh-ness.

I severely loathe quagmire. severely. but sometimes a well-timed "giggidy" will make me half-smile.

(depends on how much i like the person it came from)

South Park's dissection of Family Guy was just beautiful.

@makelikepaper: I don't think you're supposed to like Quagmire.

This show has never been very good. At least half of the jokes fall totally flat and I hate every character who isn't the dog, so there's nothing to make me care when they aren't telling bad jokes.

IceOwl said, (238 days ago)

It always seemed to me that a lot of the jokes were supposed to fall flat, and that's what made it funny. Of course, lately it seems the jokes fall flat because they're really just not funny at all.
