Family Guy Has Run Out Of Ideas

Okay why is it that all family guy jokes boil down to this.

1.Inane pop culture refrences. How many times are they going to make fun of aquaman?

2.Musical Numbers that go on for too long.

3.Repetetion of Dialogue for the sake of being funny. Drawing out conversations wayyyyy to long.

4.Recurring jokes like the chicken fight.

The characters have no personality. We get it! Stewie is evil and a closet homosexual, Quagmire is a pervert, Meg is disliked, Peter is stupid and Lois is the voice of reason. No character devolpment whatsoever.

They draw out events in order to make them awkward but they overused it and now we are numb to it. How can you tell one episode apart from the other? You don't you just remember the notable gags. The animation sucks and is so lifeless. South Park has bad animation but that gives it charm while Family Guys art style is just sterile.

This one trick pony needs to be put down.

I've stopped watching the show. It's just too painful to watch at this point.Cube_of_MooN

Same here, I really dislike watching it.
It's just too random and it is boring to watch.

I wonder if it will ever be cancelled.

people are just incredibly protective over that show. I definetly wouldnt be called an anal elitist if I said I hated the simpsons. but apparently only elitists have problems with family guy.

As far as it being cancelled, I doubt it. As far as I know, the show still gets good ratings, and that is pretty much all a show needs to survive it seems.

I think some people think too critically about the show. It's not supposed to be the Godfather, you know? It's a cartoon!!!jubino

but the fact that people get incredibly offended when anything even remotely bad is said against the show is mind boggling. like you said its not the godfather or anything, why do people care if someone calls the show stupid.

ELITIST! :P It'll get cancelled when the money stops coming in.

How is that elitism?

When a show has been reduced to predictable plot lines and overused stale jokes how is it elitist to call it out on its own flaws?

Family guy is lazy writing. A show should make you say "i really like those characters!" "I relate to their struggels!" "Wow thats some good satire!"

How many hanna barbara characters are they going to show in illogical scenarios? They aren't even putting them in ways that would make sense to the characters world its just "OH lets throw optimus prime in and make a joke about him being gay LOLZ!

Robot chicken does nothing but skit humor but the humor is always realvent to the characters and the stop frame animation has heart. Thats an example of good writing as well as a sense of stylishness.

Family Guy is to South Park as Mad Tv is to SNL

Animation can have a well devolped cast of characters that evolve and have soul. Animation can create a magical universe that causes fans to obsess over small details and form ideas about where the plot is going. Animation can create sharp satire and create a experiance that leaves you feeling good. How does family guy do any of that?

Family guy fans! Whats your favorite episode? Can you answer that? How bout whats your favorite cutaway gag?

I dont think anyones really arguing against you..youre absolutly right of course, while its easy to name a favorite futurama episode you really cant with family guy because every episode its just an arrangement of random jokes. Actually I'd find it pretty funny if someone had a favorite family guy episode.

All shows like the simpsons run out of ideas, its just the sad truth.123625

What people are going to realize someday is that you can just produce show after show like family guy the same way Hanna Barbara did with their cartoons.

Why is it Family Guy keeps getting spinoffs while Futurama and Invader Zim get cancelled before they even reach maturity?

I've seen Futurama a few times.. and that show sucks ****. I didn't laugh once any time I saw that show. If it's the show I'm thinking about with the robot and the one eyed lady, then yeah, that show blows. That's why it would get cancelled..

Probably because the show's creators knew when not to go to far.

I like the show, and I don't get offended, but on the same token why do people even argue that it's not deep enough? Really, that's like getting mad at vanilla ice cream cuz it's too cold and tastes like vanilla. Family Guy is a stupid show by nature. It is what it is, like it or not.

I loved the first seasons. They were great.
I do notice that most the new seasons aren't good at all, and I can't stand to watch them.

I am shocked it probably won't be cancelled. In a few months, the cleveland show will also be on fox, so Seth Macfarlane will have 3 shows on fox.
I am shocked that anyone would want to see more of his cartoons, I know I won't be watching the cleveland show.

Fox isn't that great of a channel anyways.

Yeah, three seasons ago.aaronmullan

Really? From what I see on here, everyone bashes Family Guy, ever since the South Park episode.

I haven't had a chance to see the new season yet (not out on DVD) but I've always liked it.

I thought The Simpsons, and King of the Hill were great last night...but I didn't laugh once at Family Guy, I mean Seth McFarlane is busting out Iraq jokes?? I remember when Family Guy used to be ahead of the curve comedically speaking, but it was way behind last night.

The Simpson's Tree House of Horror was hilarious, and I loved King of the Hill's spoof about MySpace

You know what sucks even worse?

-The spinoff that's coming - The Cleveland Show

uggh

I really don't care I enjoyed last nights episode.

"I got like 5 fish coming buddy" :lol:

the manatees must not be doing their jobinyourface_12

maybe a ball got removed from their tank

IT ran out of ideas after the first episode.

IT's terrible that our culture embraces these horrible forms of media, which only influence and corrupt the weaker minded. I see countless kids imitating what they here on these trashy shows, and it offers nothing positive to our society.

Someone who saw the light early :D I despise family guy :x

its seems they are stretching a little bit of material a long way. Jokes last way to long, characters are just terrible
