I have to give FG props, it is probably the most insultive cartoon out there now. I mean it, no matter your race, age, gender, religious preference, sexual orientation or even dietary inclination, FG will find a way to offend you. In fact, I'd go so far as to say this show will offend you just for being a human! It takes cheap digs at everything an everyone. And then their are those stupid cut-away gags, seriously, can FG go for two seconds without making some sort of BLAM? All the characters are douches, even the one-off characters act like jerks. And if you love blood and gorn, your in for a real treat! If the artists were still using ink and paper they would need to haul in a tanker of red ink a week! Every time a character is beat up (which I swear happens once an episode) we are privileged to some lovely shots of buckets of blood, exposed bones and black eyes. This shows suppose to be a comedy, right? On to the shows humor, or lack there of. Pardon me, but I don't think making cracks at the disabled or ill is funny. And this is just the tip of the iceberg. This show knows it is offensive, and it PRIDES itself on this. it knows that its Fox's cash cow, and it uses that as a safety cushion, because Fox wont cancel its biggest money maker, no matter how bad it is. Much like SBSP, FG has gotten worse and worse as the seasons progress. Even the only two redeemable characters (Brian and Stewie) have become a bigoted author mouthpiece and a camp gay stereotype, respectively. This show treats things like domestic abuse, rape and suicides as JOKES. While it doesn't do as many jabs at politics and religion as its "brother" American Dad, FG can and will offend you. And the fact that there are two shows out right now by the same creator who obviously revels in offensive content, that seems to me that the "adult" cartoon industry is in a sad state of affairs.
My final thoughts? Why didn't this show stay dead when it was canned the first time?
The show that strives to offend you.
