World Of Weirdness / Family Guy

Go To

Thanks to the vast myriad of Cutaway Gags and the overall wackiness of the main cast, the world of Family Guy oozes weirdness from its core. There's a one year old baby who built a functional time machine that led to the creation of the universe, a talking dog that has long term relationships with human women without anyone commenting, a woman who was pregnant for "like 6 years" (as Peter put it), numerous anthropomorphic talking animals and inanimate objects (with the evil monkey who lives in Chris' closet and the giant unkillable chicken being two of the most frequently-appearing ones), a peg-legged pirate whose father may or may not have been a tree, and the Kool-Aid Man who bursts into people's houses while yelling "OH YEAAHHH". This is just the tip of the iceberg. There's also:
