* As of August 11th, 2014, the opening segment of "Family Guy Viewer Mail #2" (where Peter has the power to turn people into [[Creator/RobinWilliams Robin Williams]] by touching them, and he attempts suicide after realizing his powers cannot be controlled), isn't so funny anymore. Said episode was re-run on BBC Three just as news broke of Williams' death of an alleged suicide. [[Creator/AdultSwim [adult swim]]] later pulled the episode from their schedule the next day.

* In 2013's "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. Less than a month after it aired, the real Boston Marathon was attacked with explosives, creating 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 streaming and has become the first ''Family Guy'' episode to air once before getting banned (as opposed to what happened to "When You Wish Upon a Weinstein," where it was banned for a time, then aired on TV, and "Partial Terms of Endearment" where it most likely will never air in America at all, but it does have a DVD release and people overseas have seen it).
** The episode is airing in syndication now, both on free TV and cable. It's also on Netflix streaming.

* From ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'': "Road to Rhode Island" originally had a scene that depicted Osama Bin Laden getting past airport security by singing showtunes after Stewie did the same thing. Amazingly enough, this episode was produced and broadcast ''before'' September 11th, 2001, when few people knew who Osama bin Laden was and even fewer knew he would orchestrate an attack using commercial airplanes. 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]]. (One could also interpret this as HilariousInHindsight; but given the removal of the scene, it seems to belong here.) The worst part is that the show's creator, Seth [=MacFarlane=], was supposed to ''be'' on one of the planes that hit the World Trade Center, but was 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).
** Adult Swim reran an episode where Mayor West laughs uncontrollably for about a minute straight at the name of the character [[EmbarrassingNickname Boner]] from ''GrowingPains''. That's all fine and good, until you realize that they aired said episode 2 days after Andrew Koenig, the actor who played Boner, killed himself.

* From ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'': "Road to Rhode Island" originally had a scene that depicted Osama Bin Laden getting past airport security by singing showtunes after Stewie did the same thing. Amazingly enough, this episode was produced and broadcast ''before'' September 11th, 2001, when few people knew who Osama bin Laden was and even fewer knew he would orchestrate an attack using commercial airplanes. 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]]. (One could also interpret this as HilariousInHindsight; but given the removal of the scene, it seems to belong here.) The worst part is that the show's creator, Seth [=MacFarlane=], was supposed to ''be'' on one of the planes that hit the World Trade Center, but was 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).
** * Adult Swim reran an episode where Mayor West laughs uncontrollably for about a minute straight at the name of the character [[EmbarrassingNickname Boner]] from ''GrowingPains''. That's all fine and good, until you realize that they aired said episode 2 days after Andrew Koenig, the actor who played Boner, killed himself.



** The CutawayGag concerning Katie Holmes escaping Tom Cruise's manor. It becomes a little awkward after their divorce in 2012 (though given rumors that the marriage was a sham to cover up Tom Cruise's alleged homosexuality, this might be HilariousInHindsight in a sick way).
** The gag from "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 sick SethMacFarlane joke thanks to the Sandy Hook elementary school massacre in Newtown, Connecticut on December 14, 2012. See also: Joe pointing a shotgun at a group of kids staring at him though his window as seen on the ChristmasEpisode "Road to the North Pole."
** In "The Tan Aquatic with Steve Zissou", when Stewie thinks he's dying, he tells Brian to write down his final words. 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. "Brian and Stewie" later revealed 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 a [[BlackComedy warped one]] to a cry for help.
** In 2013's "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. Less than a month after it aired, the real Boston Marathon was attacked with explosives, creating 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 streaming and has become the first ''Family Guy'' episode to air once before getting banned (as opposed to what happened to "When You Wish Upon a Weinstein," where it was banned for a time, then aired on TV, and "Partial Terms of Endearment" where it most likely will never air in America at all, but it does have a DVD release and people overseas have seen it).
** "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.
** "Road to the Multiverse" ended with Human!Brian getting hit by a car and killed. This happens to the main universe Brian in "Life of Brian" and now he's KilledOffForReal.
** "You Can't Do That On Television, Peter": As Peter and Lois are arguing over his being too much involved in his children's TV show, spending nights out on the town and neglecting his family duties as a result, Peter lets slip that he can have "any 3-year-old girl [he] wants" (by hosting the show and having access to them). Already a highly inappropriate comment – if not, a darkly pedophiliac statement was excorised by a man who already has been known to be selfish, childish, abusive, ephebophiliac (when he tried to do 17-year-old Connie D'Amico), unconscionable, non-empathetic and misogynic – the "joke" became even more evil following a posthumous exposé on British television host Jimmy Savile (''TopOfThePops'' and the children's television program ''Jim'll Fix It'') revealing him as a pedophile and sexual predator of children.
