Ethics in Family Guy

I made this thread to discuss all the good old fashioned values you learn by watching this fantastic show.

Quotes:
Peter (after Lois tells him he's childish): "If I'm a child that means you're a pedophile, and I'll be damned if i'm going stand here and take this from a pervert."

Peter: Don't worry Chris. Sometimes it's good not to fit in. (Flashback to Veitnam)
Peter (dressed in a clown suit): You guys are stupid. Their gonna be looking for army people.

(Peter has to come up with a fake name on the spot, so he looks around the room to get inspiration)
Peter Griffin: Uh... my name is...(he sees a pea)
Peter Griffin: Pea...
(he sees a woman crying)
Peter Griffin: ... tear...
(he sees a Griffin fly by)
Peter Griffin: ... Griffin. Peter Griffin

Peter - I'm afraid I have some very bad news, your wife's gonna be a vegetable. You're gonna have to bathe her, feed her, and care for her for the rest of your life.
Guy - OH MY GOD!
Peter - No no no, I'm just kiddin. She's dead.

Peter: Lois, you've got a sick mind!
Lois: Peter, I'm talking about making love.
Peter: Oh, I thought you wanted us to murder the children and harvest their organs for beer money.

Peter: Sometimes it's appropriate to swear
(Peter is in court)
Bailiff: Do you swear to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth so help you god?
Peter: I do........You bastard





If i get children one day, I'll certainly let them watch family guy!

What do you think about this show? Personally I have a sick humor, so I enjoy it.

Don't report this thread, cuz those bad words are just quotes!

Re: Ethics in Family Guy

I agree, for I feel there is wisdom to be learned in simple things many would view useless, obscene, or even stupid.

I never really took the time to really take into consideration the *Ironic Wisdom* in peter's seemingly pointless discussions.

Shows great by the way! Always love a good comedy to relax.

Re: Ethics in Family Guy

This programme is my favourite at the moment, hilarious, hidden meanings and a dog that smokes.

Re: Ethics in Family Guy

A dog that smokes, smokes, and drinks - and has a thing for his best friend's wife! For any pseudo-alcoholic college drop out living at home with a generally apathetic outlook for his future, Brian should hit close to home.

Though, I think the show is going down hill. They have essentially remade earlier episodes. Except for Louis' development into a fuller character, the show is losing it's edge. Still amusing.

My favorite minor character is Mayor Adam West. A nice jab at politicians.

Re: Ethics in Family Guy

Family Guy is one of my favorite shows. I admit that some parts are getting stale, like the way Peter treats Meg, but it's still pretty funny. Particularly the interaction between Stewie and Brian.

Re: Ethics in Family Guy

How can you hate a show that guest starred Frank Sinatra Jr? I know a lot of people that think family guy is crude, amoral, and just plain terrible, but I gotta say... I disagree wholeheartedly. They can blame FG until the cows come home, they're more than welcome to not watch it, it was made as clear as daylight in the FCC episode. Family Guy is a hilarious show that tweaks in a moral story everyone once in awhile.
...
Ollie Williams is pure awesome.

Re: Ethics in Family Guy

I have never liked the show, despite being a fan of crude, amoral and trashy comedy. But I really don't even see it as comedic. It's a bunch of slap stick twisted wording for odd humor which I find really annoying. If you were to listen to someone tell a story like they set up their jokes, you would end up punching them in the face after the punch line. But why people like the show, I guess because it's mindless participation.

Re: Ethics in Family Guy

Yeah some awkward moments, it's all in there, I'm beginning to think Seth is a bit cynical with the world and he uses the programme to have his stabs.
