This became more uncomfortable following the release of ''Series/QuietOnSet'', in which it was revealed that Brian Peck became an acting coach for the show after getting arrested for molesting Creator/DrakeBell during his career at Nickelodeon with much of the entertainment industry in his defense.

Instead, he draws a picture of himself hanging from a tree because he was bored and didn't feel like bowing to Stewie's whims. "[[Recap/FamilyGuyS8E17BrianAndStewie Brian & Stewie]]" later reveals that Brian has been contemplating suicide for a long time because he feels like no one cares about him. In some viewers' eyes, this turns the visual joke from [[BlackComedy a warped one]] to a cry for help.
* In 2013's "[[Recap/FamilyGuyS11E15TurbanCowboy Turban Cowboy]]", one cutaway has Peter drive a car through the Boston Marathon, leaving injured, bloody bodies on the ground behind him, and is then praised for winning the race. This was less than a month before two brothers set off a bomb at the real marathon, a scene similar to the one in the show. Between that gag and the episode's plot of Peter joining a terrorist cell, the episode was yanked from Hulu and has become the first ''Family Guy'' episode to air once before getting banned temporarily. For added irony, Creator/AdultSwim had the misfortune of airing a repeat of the episode just hours after the deadly terrorist attacks in Paris on November 13, 2015. It got even worse in 2016 due to an eerily similar incident where an ISIS follower drove a truck through crowds of people in Nice, France on Bastille Day.
* "[[Recap/FamilyGuyS11E19SaveTheClam Save the Clam]]" opens with Horace pitching for Peter's softball team and being killed when a line drive is hit right back at him and strikes him. Two days after the episode first aired, Toronto Blue Jays pitcher J. A. Happ was seriously injured under very similar circumstances.
* "[[Recap/FamilyGuyS8E1RoadToTheMultiverse Road to the Multiverse]]" ended with Human Brian getting hit by a car and killed. This happens to the main universe Brian in "[[Recap/FamilyGuyS12E6LifeOfBrian Life of Brian]]", killing him off [[spoiler: for all but two episodes... and even those were retconned]].
* In "[[Recap/FamilyGuyS3E19StuckTogetherTornApart Stuck Together, Torn Apart]]" when Joe is showcasing the police van's technologies. The robotic arms simply cuff Peter, but when Cleveland steps in, he gets beaten by clubs and a gun is planted beside him. A similar incident occurs in "[[Recap/FamilyGuyS12E20HesBlaack He's Bla-ack!]]", when Peter pretends to be a cop pulling Cleveland over so he can see the latter. Peter goes a little far on the brutality, even saying "He's trying to grab my gun." These scenes would become less funny following the shooting of Michael Brown, who allegedly tried to grab Officer Darren Wilson's gun.
* "[[Recap/FamilyGuyS4E16TheCourtshipOfStewiesFather The Courtship of Stewie's Father]]" contains a scene in which Michael Eisner falls in a river and is eaten by a swarm of alligators while Peter and Stewie are on vacation at Disney World. Although the episode aired in 2005, it would feel pretty uncomfortable to watch the episode now, considering that 2-year-old Lane Graves drowned and was killed by alligators while playing near a lake at Disney World.
* In "[[Recap/FamilyGuyS3E21FamilyGuyViewerMailOne Family Guy Viewer Mail #1]]":
** Mayor Adam West immerses himself in toxic waste so he can gain superpowers like the Griffins but it backfires when he's diagnosed with lymphoma. In real life, Adam West died from leukemia on June 10, 2017, which makes the episode haunting to watch now.
** Peter receives a bone surgery after losing his bones and also finds out that most of them came from his family. We see the results of what happen to the other Griffins, [[http://image.wikifoundry.com/image/2/XOSD3AsUSPBbYDon5pu6Rw88544/GW433H323 especially Brian who ends up with a shriveled nose]].

Suddenly not so heartwarming now...
* In "[[Recap/FamilyGuyS10E22FamilyGuyViewerMailTwo Family Guy Viewer Mail #2]]":
** In the second segment, Peter is given the power where everything he touches turns into Creator/RobinWilliams. Peter is initially happy about this until it overwhelms him to the point where he attempts to commit suicide. On August 11, 2014, Williams committed suicide. As a double whammy, at the end of the segment, in order to prevent anything else from turning into Robin Williams, Peter cuts his hands off. When Williams' body was discovered, it was reported that he'd slit his wrists before hanging himself.
*** Coincidentally, BBC Three was broadcasting this very episode around the time that news broke of his suicide.
*** Creator/AdultSwim had the misfortune of scheduling a repeat a day after news of the suicide broke out. At the last minute, they replaced it with "[[Recap/FamilyGuyS1E3ChittyChittyDeathBang Chitty Chitty Death Bang]]" and pulled the episode from regular rotation for awhile.
** Earlier in that same episode, in "Chap of The Manor", Clive Crowley, the British Tom Tucker, reports about a man with a gun and two bullets attacking Manchester, on May 22, 2017, Manchester was hit with a terrorist attack at an Ariana Grande concert. In light of that attack along with similar ones in London, the episode seems pretty uncomfortable to watch.
*** Manchester has a history of gun crime, earning the notorious nickname of "Gunchester", so this could be more of a case of CriticalResearchFailure from the American writers.
* In "[[Recap/FamilyGuyS8E15BrianGriffinsHouseOfPayne Brian Griffin's House of Payne]]", the show's parody of Creator/JamesWoods implies he has had sex with an underage girl. Seven years later, in real life Woods was accused by Creator/AmberTamblyn of tryng to hit on her while she was only 16.
* In season 4's "[[Recap/FamilyGuyS4E4DontMakeMeOver Don't Make Me Over]]", Stewie causes a diversion by running naked in the mall screaming, "Help, I've escaped from Creator/KevinSpacey's basement!". In light of a real-life revelation from Creator/AnthonyRapp that he was molested at age 14 by Kevin Spacey, that scene would seem cringy to watch.
* In "[[Recap/FamilyGuyS9E17ForeignAffairs Foreign Affairs]]", Peter talks about trying out gymnastics for the Olympics with a cutaway of him with a perverted coach who offers Peter to have an inappropriate shower and barring him from seeing his parents, Peter later [[BreakingTheFourthWall turns to the camera]] and says that someone should look into the sport. Watching the episode now would feel uncomfortable, considering that by then a real-life Olympic doctor was recently convicted of child sexual abuse of several gymnasts including [=McKayla=] Maroney and Gabby Douglas.
* In season 14's "[[Recap/FamilyGuyS14E18TheNewAdventuresOfOldTom The New Adventures of Old Tom]]", Peter attempts to reinvent Tom when a younger reporter replaces him, he says that Tom is falling further than Charlie Rose leading to a cutaway of Charlie Rose after a night out with an inappropriate news report. Two years later, Charlie Rose faced accusations of sexual misconduct by numerous women.
* The ending to "[[Recap/FamilyGuyS4E19BrianSingsAndSwings Brian Sings and Swings]]" is a BrickJoke in which Frank Sinatra Jr.'s "mother" Creator/MiaFarrow shows up to give him a spanking (thanks to Peter calling her earlier). In 2018, Farrow's real son Moses accused her of abusive behavior.
* In "E. Peterbus Unum", when at the I.R.S. and learning that he is going to be audited, Peter cries out over the agent trying to tell him the bad news, first over the cancellation of ''Series/PartyOfFive'' and then over the actual news, with him then asking, "What the hell is ''Party of Five''?" It's not quite as funny anymore since the original 90s version has fallen out of popularity and is rarely seen in syndication; with the 2019 reboot being canceled after one season due to lackluster ratings.
* In "Emmy-Winning Episode", Shonda Rhimes calls out ''Family Guy'' for having characters of color voiced by white actors. In June 2020, Mike Henry, the voice of Cleveland, announced he'd be stepping down from the role in response to nationwide protests against systemic racism.
* "Mr. Griffin Goes to Washington" has UsefulNotes/BobDole announce that he's a friend of the tobacco industry. This takes a ''much'' darker turn in 2020 when Mr. Dole has been diagnosed with Stage 4 lung cancer.
* In "Boys Do Cry", one of the ways Texas is shown to be socially backward is that every purchase comes with a free gun. In 2021, the state controversially passed a bill allowing the open carry of guns without the need of a license or training.
* A cutaway referencing how Creator/AdultSwim keeps the show's funnier jokes intact in the style of its bumps in "[[Recap/FamilyGuyS8E10BigManOnHippocampus Big Man on Hippocampus]]" became this in September 2021, as Turner Broadcasting lost the cable rights to air the first 15 seasons of the show and moved to [[Creator/FXNetworks FX, FXX]] and Creator/{{Freeform}}, which use the syndicated versions and the versions that aired on Fox instead of what is on DVD.
* This particular line, from "Wasted Talent", is gut-wrenchingly prophetic, considering how quickly the Griffins replaced their dog in "Life of Brian":
----> '''Peter''': Beer that never goes flat. Do you know what that means, Brian? This beer will still be carbonated long after you die of old age and we buy another dog to help the kids...you know, forget about you.
* This [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e1cijUlcfkA cutaway]] gag featuring a sex tape with Creator/BillCosby considering Cosby's eventual arrest and indictment for sexual assault.

* "[[Recap/FamilyGuyS2E13RoadToRhodeIsland Road to Rhode Island]]" originally had a scene that depicted UsefulNotes/OsamaBinLaden getting past airport security by singing [[Theatre/AChorusLine show tunes]] after Stewie did the same thing. The scene was removed from future airings of the episode and even from the DVD release, although it showed up on a later "best-of" DVD [[note]]The "Freakin' Sweet" DVD set.[[/note]] and, as of 2018, is on the Hulu version. The worst part is that the show's creator, Creator/SethMacFarlane, was supposed to ''be'' on American Airlines Flight 11 -- one of the planes that hit the World Trade Center -- but was [[LifesavingMisfortune lucky enough to miss it due to oversleeping from a hangover, his agent giving him the wrong flight information]], and deciding to wait for another flight (until he saw the crash on the news).
* The CutawayGag concerning Creator/KatieHolmes escaping Creator/TomCruise's manor. It becomes a little awkward after their divorce in 2012 (though given rumors that the marriage was a sham to cover up Cruise's alleged homosexuality, this might be HilariousInHindsight in a sick way). This is perhaps seen in a different light if documentaries like ''Going Clear: Scientology'' and the Prison of Belief and ''Creator/LouisTheroux'' "My Scientology Movie" that the Church of Scientology has quite an influence and hold on Cruise's life, and how people outside the church can very quickly be considered "Non-persons".
* The gag from "[[Recap/FamilyGuyS4E3BlindAmbition Blind Ambition]]"[[note]]The episode where Quagmire saves a woman from dying of a heart attack while Peter goes blind trying to swallow the most coins so he can get into the ''Guinness Book of World Records''[[/note]] where Peter tries to do good by dressing up as "Gary the No-Trash Cougar" and threatens kids at a school with a gun has now become yet another twisted ''Family Guy'' joke thanks to the Sandy Hook Elementary School massacre in Newtown, Connecticut on December 14, 2012, though given the subject matter there was likely never a point in time it might be in good taste.
