Does Family Guy take the jokes too far?

This is the show that jokes about things like rape. Of course it takes it too far

In any other context I’d be disgusted but here I just take it with a pinch of salt

Some jokes/gags are in very poor taste indeed but not the vast majority

All of it’s just part-and-parcel of the show to me. I’m not bothered

I do agree actually and they sometimes joke about abusing underage people as well which is pretty suspect. Like SB says a lot of it just feels scattershot as well and serves no purpose

I was amazed a few weeks ago though to discover my 94 year old Grandma knew of Family Guy and she described it as 'an ethically sound program'

can only assume she's only seen a small sample size
