The Family Guy Thread

[Captain Hobo]

This is the first scene after Fox brought Family Guy came back. Still cracks me up.

There is also a great one-liner about the Cosby Show pre the 'allegations' but unfortunately I can't find it on YouTube.

Found it.

It constantly recycles its own meagre store of gags. It's got about three basic gags -- a cutaway to something that references a work of '70s or '80s pop culture; one of those "stretching out something so long that it's funny" routines (they do this one about five times an episode), and sexual-innuendo jokes that are sort of The Golden Girls for frat-boys. I don't mind that they sometimes use jokes from other shows -- recycling jokes is inevitable in comedy -- but they managed to get through 50 episodes without coming up with a new kind of joke, and that wears thin.

Ha, even though I do like Family Guy (early seasons), this was fantastic

I recall the very early seasons being okay. Nothing special, but watchable.

However, I get the impression that if I watched them back today I would probably dislike them almost as much as I do the post-2005 seasons.

Sure.

I'll do so after you go back and watch the best of RVD and Kevin Nash

His attempts at comedy were far better than Seth Macfarlene's
