A Defense for Family Guy
A Defense for Family Guy
A reviewer for the Parents Television Council has stated that Family Guy “delivers some of the most vile, offensive content on broadcast television.” Entering its ninth season, the Sunday-night staple Family Guy continues to entertain fans with its outrageous humor, cutting-edge animation and epic episodes. Since its debut, the show has reached a cult status among fans, and its breakout star, a talking baby, becoming one of the greatest TV villains of all time. Family Guy is about a family full of love and hate, which cannot stand each other at times; however, they manage to put real life scenarios and create humorous jokes about it. Family Guy is a show that looks at so many negative aspects of our culture and captures our attention with its crazy sense of humor. The show exhibits much of its humor from commentaries upon the American Culture. Many people in society tend to hate Family Guy because of its cruel sarcasm; yet, at the same time, many people seem to love it. The reason why people favor Family Guy results in the fact that we live in a world where we are expected to portray political correctness to its extremity. Family Guy offers us its offensive humor to counter balances this extremity by offering political incorrectness, which allows the viewers an outlet to release their stress. There are several ways that MacFarlane illustrates this, like the way that Stewie and Brian’s relationship is on the show, two of the show’s main characters, which is simply hilarious. As well as how the character, Peter Griffin interacts with his family, it is hysterical and amusing. Lastly, how the creator uses significant people in society to give us insight on their image and situation in real life by using jokes and humor.
The relationship between a talking baby and an anthropomorphic dog is stunning. Babies are supposed to play with their dog, let the dog take care of them and become its best friend, especially, if they literally talk to each
