4''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'' has enjoyed [[LongRunners a lengthy, successful run on television]], and has a nuanced style of humor. As such, we've had to split more specific examples of the show's funny moments across multiple subpages.

21* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zTaO9A-0oeE Whenever]] Brian [[FurryReminder acts like an actual dog]].
22** From "Back to the Woods", when Brian, who is tied up to the pole because James Woods, who has recently stolen Peter's identity (and everything he has), does not like the fact that Brian is snooping around:
23--->'''Brian:''' ''[tugging on rope]'' This is humiliating. I went to Brown, for God's sa--\
24''[spots squirrel running past, starts chasing and barking at it wildly until the rope snags him backward]''\
25'''Brian:''' ''[confused]'' What the hell? The rope was longer, now it's shorter! What kind of black magic is this?
26** From "12 and a Half Angry Men", when Quagmire harps on Brian, thinking that he knows how the judicial system works, when he can't even understand his relationship with the mailman.
27--->''[zoomed out shot showing Brian coming out from behind the garage on all fours and chasing the mailman away]''\
28'''Brian:''' You motherfucker, get out of here or I'll kill you!! But come back tomorrow, same time, b-because I get sad on Sundays when you're not here.
29** In "New Kidney in Town", Peter complains that he didn't get any sleep because Brian and the neighbor dogs kept him up all night.
30--->'''Brian:''' ''[calling out from outside the window]'' Hello? Hello!\
31'''Dog:''' Hello!\
32'''Brian:''' Hey! Hey, are you a dog?\
33'''Dog:''' Yeah, I am!\
34'''Brian:''' I am also a dog!\
35'''Dog:''' Yeah, we're both dogs!
36** From "Quagmire's Quagmire" we have Brian's reaction to firetrucks
37--->'''Brian:''' Oh my god! ''[runs from one side of the couch to the other]'' Ooowwwooooowwwwooooooo! I'm matching the sound! Awwwwooooouuuuwwoooo!! ''[runs back and forth frantically]'' Is what I'm doing helping?!
38* Peter Griffin's [[http://www.snotr.com/video/434/Family_Guy_chicken_fights epic]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W4WGQmWcrbs fights]] with Ernie the Giant Chicken. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AMf7qcOyw5I And in reverse!]]
39** The fact that Peter is always able to go right back to whatever he's doing afterwards, no matter how long and dragged out the fight was. Not to mention that the people he was talking to prior to the fight are just ''waiting'' for him to come back, and go right on with their conversations as if nothing happened.
40* Adam West. CloudCuckooLander taken to extremes.
41** All of his scenes in the episode about gay marriage.
42--->'''West:''' (seeing his own blood) Oh my God... [[TomatoInTheMirror I'm a tomato]]!
43** [[BondOneLiner "Perhaps it was the Noid...who should have avoided ME."]]
44** "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! I'm trying to get all the As out."
45** "So it's a shouting contest you want, is it? Well, game on, Quahog! AAAAH! AAAAH! AAAAH! AAA- ''I'm beating you!''"
46** The Adam West song.
47** And let's not forget the cat launcher, which is a crossbow with cats. It's as awesome as it sounds.
48** Kebert Xela.
49---> '''West:''' [[Franchise/{{Superman}} Only saying his name backwards can send him back to the fifth dimension where he belongs.]]
50** Adam West wanted all graves covered with concrete because he's afraid of zombies. "You'll thank me when no one eats our brains. You'll thank me." He later runs away screaming "zombie" after Quagmire comes out of his grave.
51** Adam West's disastrous press conference in "Twelve and a Half Angry Men."
52--->'''Child reporter for elementary school newspaper:''' Mayor West, are you afraid of the dark?\
53'''West:''' I thought I'd made it clear to you that asking me about the dark was off limits! This press conference is OVER!
54** "Old people are wizards in the future."
55** Adam West giving a eulogy when Peter and his friends are lost at sea.
56--->'''Adam West:''' The Bible declares, "an eye for an eye", so let us now take our vengeance against this murderous ocean." ''(takes out a knife and stabs a beach several times)''. You won't be hurting anyone anymore".
57** Mayor Adam West was arguably even more surreal during the early episodes, when he was still happily providing permits in-between his insane conspiracy theories and exclusively tucking/rolling from his bathroom to his office.
58* The RunningGag, seen where Peter's latest contraption gashes a hole in Cleveland's house, making Cleveland, in his bathtub, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OTWZltMeorY come crashing to the ground]].
59-->'''Cleveland:''' No...no...[[BigNo NOOO]]!...[[LampshadeHanging I've got to stop taking a bath during Peter's shenanigans.]]
60** And then after the premiere of ''WesternAnimation/TheClevelandShow'', when the ''empty'' tub crashes down...
61--->'''Peter:''' Oh yeah, [[ContinuityNod Cleveland moved...]]
62** Made even FUNNIER than, in an episode, a missile launched by Mayor West STILL manages to land and hit Cleveland's house in his own show!
63--->'''Cleveland:''' [[RapidFireNo No, no, no, no, no, no, nooooooo!]] ''(falls)''\
64'''Tim the Bear:''' ''(walks in screen)'' ...I don't get it.
65** And ''then'' the gag manages to be incorporated into "Something, Something, Something, Dark Side", when Cleveland as [=R2D2=] falls into the Dagobah swamp.
66** On ''WesternAnimation/TheClevelandShow'', Cleveland's ex is in the tub and crashes with it, only [[spoiler: she dies]].
67* The famous [[http://video.adultswim.com/family-guy/peter-hurts-his-knee.html hurt knee.]]
68** In "FOX-y Lady", Lois' version appears in which she hurt her ''breast''.
69** And in ''Something, Something Dark Side'', [[http://www.heavy.com/comedy/comedy-videos/family-guy/2010/03/family-guy-something-dark-side-imperial-walker-fall/this happens to an AT-AT.]]
70** In "Viewer Mail 2", a variation of this appears, again with Peter, in the "Chap of the Manor" segment:
71---> '''Peter:''' ''(deep breath in)'' Bugger. ''(deep breath in)'' Bugger. ''(deep breath in)'' Bugger.
72* The "sounds of the rain forest" cutaway (where Peter buys a "Sounds of the Rainforest" CD to help him sleep, only it also includes sounds of loggers cutting down the trees and talking about how Sting -- who advocates rainforest preservation -- sucks) certainly qualifies.
73** Not to mention the "Sounds of the Studio Audience" commercial.
74* And now here's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bOLN6_U3NGQ Ollie Williams]], with the [=BlaccuWeather=] forecast. Ollie?
75-->'''Ollie:''' IT'S GON' RAIN!
76** Thanks, Ollie.
77** Also, Ollie's bit in the one with the hurricane:
78--->'''Ollie:''' IT'S RAININ' SIDEWAYS!\
79'''Tom:''' Do you have an umbrella, Ollie?\
80'''Ollie:''' ''HAD'' ONE!\
81'''Tom:''' Where is it?\
82'''Ollie:''' INSIDE OUT, TWO MILES AWAY!\
83'''Tom'''" Well, can we get you anything?\
84'''Ollie:''' BRING ME SOME SOUP!\
85'''Tom:''' What Kind?\
86'''Ollie:''' CHUNKY!
87** '''''EGGO!'''''
88** '''''I'M AT THE WRONG AIRPORT!'''''
89** '''''WHO WANTS THIS DOG!?'''''
90** '''''SPACE WEATHER!'''''
91** When Quahog is in the grip of a massive heatwave:
92--->'''Tom:''' How are you beating the heat, Ollie?\
93'''Ollie:''' ''(swings by on a tire swing)'' SWIMMIN' HOLE!
94** And in "420", [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p7W-wMHqOWU when everyone gets stoned]]:
95--->'''Tom:''' How does the weather look, Ollie?\
96'''Ollie:''' ''(calmly)'' Not too bad.\
97'''Tom:''' Right on.
98** '''''HE GON' GET IT!'''''
99** In the movie:
100--->'''Tom:''' I can't figure out how to check my e-mail from home.\
101'''Ollie:''' (from offscreen) DID YOU CHECK YOUR TCP/IP SETTINGS?!\
102'''Tom:''' Yes I did, Ollie.\
103'''Ollie:''' ENABLE COOKIES?!\
104'''Tom:''' Yes, Ollie.\
105'''Ollie:''' D'YOU WANT THIS DOG?!\
106'''Tom:''' No thank you, Ollie.
107* The Kix cereal cutaway.
108* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o0mHAJ5c080 Any time Joe yells]].
109-->'''Joe:''' "This is stupid. I wanna talk about '''VAGINAS!'''"\
110'''Joe:''' "You're getting '''SLACKS!'''"\
111'''Joe:''' 'You're starting to '''PISS ME OFF!!!'''"\
112'''Joe:''' "Oh man, if I was a woman I'd press my bare boobs up against the glass in public, just for the '''SEXUAL THRILL!''' '''THE SEXUAL THRILL!!!'''"
113** I swear, Creator/PatrickWarburton must have trouble with this character sometimes.
114* Meg abuse jokes at times are hilarious.
115-->'''Meg:''' Hi, da-''(gets shot)''
116* Consuela
117** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p7w_S5zme5Y Champion curler]] and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a4c7pcUXu2c virginity coach]]
118* The DVD commentary tracks had some good bits:
119** Seth curses as Peter (keep in mind, this is before strong language was commonplace in the show, so at the time, it was hilarious hearing Peter say the F word)
120--->'''Peter:''' Lois, get the ''fuck'' off my back. I swear, one of these days, I'm gonna backhand ya! Jesus Christ.
121** In the commentary for "Stewie Griffin: The Untold Story", during the ''Film/FerrisBuellersDayOff'' parody, Seth mentions how he always found it annoying that Ferris was falling from his jump in slow motion while everyone else was regular speed. It's funny 'cause it's true.
122* In the later seasons, we have the repeated TakeThat's aimed at Florida, such as Peter mistaking the University of Florida for a Down's syndrome summer camp, the state being fingered as a haven for sex offenders, and a taunt song performed in duet by Peter and Quagmire.
123* The very fact that quite a few entries are on both [[NightmareFuel/FamilyGuy the Nightmare Fuel page]] and this one, really says a lot about the show.
124* The show's merciless lampooning of the Tea Party/GOP.
125* Any time Peter acts like a [[ManChild three-year-old]].
126[[/folder]]
127[[folder:Deleted Scenes]]
128* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gGdhw9FcjRU Quagmire's date with Lois]]
129-->"EEEEEEEEEEEEEEW!"
130* The deleted scene from "Christmas Guy" in which Stewie snipes Joe's armbands so that he'll drown in his pool, before being sniped himself by Suzy Swanson.
131-->'''Suzy:''' [[BigDamnHeroes Not on my watch, pal!]]
132* [[https://youtu.be/2pNTrYd-4FQ Bruce mistaking a 911 call]] as a woman having somebody over.
133-->'''Woman:''' I think there's someone in my house!\
134'''Bruce:''' Oh, I envy that. I live alone. [[ComicallyMissingThePoint Nobody ever comes over my house.]]\
135'''Woman:''' No! There's someone in my house right now!\
136'''Bruce:''' Well, maybe you wanna put out some snacks, or something? Doesn't have to be nothing fancy. You can even just open up a box of Wheat Thins; pour some in a bowl. Multi-grain's always good...\
137'''Woman:''' Oh my god, they're coming up the stairs!\
138'''Bruce:''' [[NotHelpingYourCase Oh, you gonna have to close that bedroom door if your bed's not made.]] Maybe, perhaps, you could put on a video later, and sneak upstairs and make that bed.\
139'''Woman:''' ''[[TheScream (screams)]]''\
140'''Bruce:''' Oh, looks like they saw that bedroom!
