Too far for your subjective taste, whatever that is (only you would know what that fully means for you).

Having Louis married to Peter is an L but in terms of selfishness they’re almost as bad as each other, just in different ways. I would judge Louis harsher (and she does give off narcissistic vibes sometimes) for it than Peter on account of her being much smarter but there’s enough about her that makes her reasonably non-annoying so she doesn’t bother me too much. I just enjoy her for what she is and ignore the fact that she’s married to who she’s married to.

This is why sometimes you get people saying either everything is ok or everything is off limits,but then both those situations are problematic. I understand context & satire ,but Family Guy throws alot of crap at the wall as well ... seeing what sticks and what doesn't. I don't even think the writers are bothered anymore if the audience finds it funny. It's just about pushing boundaries. |

Also it's about the jokes actually being funny , another example is The Simpsons...imo the earlier seasons were better written and funnier.

I think everyone can agree about The Simpsons. The O.G. seasons were probably objectively the best (or at least among them) but seasons 9-16 are my favourites, with 17-19 being average. Season 20 onwards is very different from the original show but I still take it for what it is and vaguely enjoy watching them. It’s still a good show to me.

For me there is no joke that goes too far.
Of course I have jokes from the Show that I don't find funny, but I don't get offended at the jokes because they're just jokes, there's no actual malice behind it. In my view if anyone is getting offended at jokes from Family Guy then the problem is with you rather than the Show, just like how the issue was with the Muslim community who by and large were getting offended at South Park depicting Mohammed, and even getting the episodes banned in the UK, I remember Patrick on here going mad at the time about it as he was a huge South Park fan, and he was 100% bang on. Apologies for the long post, but I will always defend Comedy that has no real malice behind it.

Especially with how they cover Lois's hypocrisy at laughing at the idea of Peter being raped because his a man, in Family Guy's own weird kinda way they were covering a couple of big issues in that episode, but they just made it absurd in presentation like Family Guy always does, especially back then.

Understandably as I believe it was all done as a political statement in the aftermath of the Charlie Hebdo incident. Which does take some cajones . |

The Show is clearly not pro Paedophilia, it would be banned if it was. The Show just loves to be absurd, we don't exactly want it to turn into today's TV where entertainment is dead do we?

I think I'd probably be more offended by them if the Show was telling me that Peter & Lois were noble people, the same with Quagmire or Stewie, but tbf to the writers they do acknowledge that the Griffins in particular are a trainwreck.

That crossover episode with the Simpsons is still available on ITVX (I think) and … yh. Marge Simpson is very much a cartoon member of The Waltons compared to any of the F.G. characters besides Meg (who gets bullied way too much on that show).

I think I also remember Bart being horrified by something that Stewie did, but I can't remember exactly what Stewie did.

This is one of the things we’re talking about, to be fair. It was about Stewie prank-calling Mo (after Bart) about his daughter or someone being raped. I did think it was nasty but that’s just how Family Guy is, clearly.

Any idea why Louis’ dad is treating Brian like a 15-year-old in episode 19 (ITVX’s latest upload)?

The new episode of South Park was excellent tonight and bang on the money concerning Jewish people "running" Hollywood and Kayne West being crazy. And about how films and tv shows are shoving so much (lack of a better term) "woke" bollocks down everyone's throats.
One of the only tv shows remaining with common sense. The offended will always find something to be offended about, when they can't be a victim anymore, when their own "poor me, give me attention" runs out, they become offended for others, usually white men being offended for black people. It must be so insulting for a black person when white people seem to think they know better about offence and bigotry. 3 or 4 do it on here daily. Anyway, if you're not a deluded snowflake trying to be offended for everyone else, give the new episode of South Park a watch. It's very refreshing.
