Family Guy

This is a highly offensive, rude, sometimes racist, sexist, Megist, and yet it is also absolutely Hilarious. The show first came out in 1999 and is still running. It is currently on its 11th season and is closing in on its 200th episode. The show has been offensive toward almost every religion, race, gender, sexual orientation, and just about everything else. Which personally i feel that if you make fun of everything then you are specifically targeting anyone or anything. However specific episodes do tend to target something for that episode. The show can be pretty intense when they have violent episodes. And the show contains a lot of sexual humor. This is an animated series and watching it on television it is rather edited. Many episodes contain curse words including fuck. Which as I said, you only hear most of that if you watch it somewhere other than television. A couple of the middle seasons even show Peter's penis and a few other peoples body parts. But as they are animated, and not in a particularly sexual fashion it would not classify as pornographic by most standards.

The show centers around Peter Griffin and his family. Peter is a fat, alcoholic, small penis, mischievous, lazy person. He is most identifiable by his chin which looks like a pair of testicles. His wife is Lois who is a thin, large-breasted, red-haired, woman who learns to fight quite well. She is often shown throwing excitement into the sex life of their relationship. They have 3 children, the oldest being Meg. Everyone hates Meg. Meg is always wearing a pink hat, she is thin and even though people are constantly joking about how ugly and undesirable she is, she ends up dating quite a few people including the neighbors boy, the Mayor Adam West, and the local pharmacist's boy. At one point they do address the problematic relationship with her family. Meg even called everyone out and yelled at them, they realized how terrible they were and the family completely fell apart. Which led to Meg accepting the role of being the family's Lightning Rod of Hate. In this roll she is often told to shut up, farted on, mocked, and all kinds of unsavory treatment. Next up is Chris. He takes after his fathers genes in being fat and having a ball like chin. Chris is interestingly enough the smallest family role. He is only centered in a few episodes. However he does get to shine when it comes to the 3 Star Wars episodes as he is the role of Luke Skywalker. Lastly there is Stewie. Stewie is psychopathic and ridiculously intelligent, oh and did i mention he is a baby. He is constantly trying to kill his mother out of spite. He has invented hundreds of machines and devices, and his family doesn't know anything. The show fluctuates on whether or not the family can actually understand him or not. Except Brian the Dog. Brian is the family dog. He is able to talk and usually walks on 2 legs. He has sex with people and only on rare occasions even acts like a dog. Brian is a snobby failed book writer who is constantly contradicting himself. Him and Stewie often are seen on various "Road To..." trips where they travel in time, dimensions, or through fantasies and legends.

There are other characters that are friends, enemies, or family that frequent the show. The show also throws random moments about the characters actually being actors. Jokes about going on strike or hating the lines they receive occur frequently.

I find this show to be quite funny on most occasions. However many of the ruder jokes make me groan and their idea of comedy on occasion. But all in all i give the show an 8. I find it very funny, but at times it feels they are trying a little too hard for the laugh.
