I have seen the adverts now I see them but I couldn't have told you who he was.
I really only watch stuff off the planner on sky
For donkeys years I've just binge watched dvds and or kitchen nightmares, judge Judy, American pickers or true crime, historical stuff
Stuff it doesn't really matter if I'm paying attention or not

He's named after the alphabet, no wonder Randy hates him.

See, this is why the "it's something to chill out to and laugh" argument doesn't wash with me about Family Guy.

If we ignore the shitty animation, poor stories, dull characters, etc, and strip it down to just the jokes, then it still falls shorts. Simply because the jokes just aren't very funny.
It doesn't need to wash with you. Some people laugh at it, and some don't.

it's also ridiculous that we are discussing it this much when it's not even in my Top 10 comedies of all time and even I admit it is way past its peak.

I haven't bothered to watch a full season for at least 5 years.
Nice try.

I used to like Australians until I came across you and Whitlock.

I've never seen FND but I like this list. I didn't know you were an Office US fan, marvellous. Have you watched it all the way through?
