Family Guy is a fucking abomination. The worst kind of pointless ooh-shocking desperately try-hard comedy there is. I can't help but imagine that the writers are these painfully unfunny "cool nerds" who high-five each other and say "whoa, totally RANDOM, dude!!" every time they come up with another joke about abortions or whatever. even kevin bishop is funnier than family guy.
did you ever see that episode of south park (when it was still funny) which was a massive pisstake of family guy, and it turned out that the writers were actually a bunch of manatees who selected (at random, obviously) different coloured balls corresponding to a scenario/place, an action/activity, and a character/celebrity, and that was how they came up with the stories? it was brilliant.
