Crosses the Line Twice examples in Family Guy.
- Stewie beating the crap out of Brian when he owed him money becomes funny again about when Stewie pulls out a gun and shoots him in the knees. Then, for good measure, Stewie pulls out a flamethrower.
- There's also "If I'm Dyin', I'm Lyin," where Peter claims Chris is dying so his favorite show can come back on the air. When the charity points out they've bought the rights to Chris' death, Peter says he healed him. Fast-forward to people dancing on the Griffin's lawn asking for Peter to heal them. Lois, who still doesn't know about Peter's flimflam, wonders if that's chanting she's hearing. Peter assures her that's ridiculous, while edging towards her holding a fire poker. Yes, the implication is that Peter was about to commit murder (or at least assault) over a TV show.
- Terri Schiavo: The Musical. Yes, it's Exactly What It Says on the Tin... with preschoolers. And it's hilarious.Brian: Don't they think it's a little soon for a musical about Terri Schiavo?Chris: Or too late?
- In "Brian Griffin's House of Payne" — when Stewie falls down the stairs and cracks open his skull, only to wake up, vomit, and pass out again, it's pretty funny. Then it gets pretty gross. Until a raccoon is seen snacking on the exposed brain tissue, and Chris' only reaction is that raccoons look like little robbers. And then Peter and Lois' reaction to the whole ordeal...yeah.
- Carter is implied to have molested Lois, and has sex with a girl who is implied to be a sex slave, in the same episode. It makes you think because Carter is Lois' father.
- "When You Wish Upon a Weinstein" does this so many times the episode never aired uncensored on Fox. In one conversation, Cleveland tells Peter "Not every Jewish person is good with money" and Peter responds with "Well, yeah, I guess not the retarded ones. But why would you even say that? For shock value? Jeez, Cleveland, there's "edgy" and there's "offensive." Good day, sir!"
- In one episode, Lois is seduced and cheats on Peter (with Bill Clinton) and the fallout is treated as troubling and difficult for the couple to reconcile over. Then he seduces Peter too, and it's just hilarious.
- One cutaway joke has two Jewish slaves working on the pyramids with one of them saying to the other that all peoples have to go through hard times but they are getting theirs early and after this it will be all smooth sailing for them. Hulu uploaded the clip on YouTube where one of the long time most liked comments is "It's funny because of the Holocaust."
- In the episode where Brian goes back to college, the seminar on rape.Teacher: Look to your left. Now, look to your right. Statistics indicate that both of those men will rape you.
Girl in class: *looks to her left*
Guy on left: I'm not gonna rape you.
Girl: *looks to her right*
Guy on right: I might. - In the episode where Chris moves away to become an artist, Peter reveals that he has a button on hand that he can press to blow up Chris, and it seems like a little too much Flanderization. Then it turns out that it doesn't work because Peter put the chip in the wrong baby, followed by some random girl exploding, and it's hilarious.
- In "Herpe The Love Sore", after Stewie gets herpes from Brian, no one wants to be around him. He mentions that he's lonelier than a Kennedy family reunion. A cutaway shows said reunion with all the tables empty except for one guy. The guy asks "Where is everybody? Oh, Yeah, they're dead." He then immediately gets shot in the head by an unknown assailant.
