Who like's Family Guy?

Oddly Insane · #1 01-01-2005, 05:50 PM

Do you like it and whats your favorite episode?

Godlesswanderer · #2 01-01-2005, 06:12 PM

Yes and my favourite episode has to be either the nudist neighbours one or the Christmas one.

Silversnow · #3 01-01-2005, 07:08 PM

I like it, but I'm not sure which one is my favorite. I do like the post-nuclear one simply because of the giant chicken.

I love Family Guy, but I have only seen most episodes once, so I couldn't say my favourite.

I love Family Guy. Everybody loves Family Guy. I bought the volume one DVD set, which kept circulating through various friends of mine for a good while. I'd buy the second volume, except I'm tempted to not blow all my Christmas money so soon of recieving it.

I'm going to buy the season one and two boxset someday, but I just spent a lot of money on CDs, when I'm saving for a computer.

I love family guy... I watch reruns whenever I can, so I've seen most (if not all) of them. Can't wait for the next season.

I can't say which is my fav... I love them all!

I like the one where Lois's Aunt dies and they get her house. Stewie is eating and talking to his Butler "Cut my eggs!" "Your eggs are cut sir" "CUT MY MILK!" "I can't sir it a liquid." WELL FREEZE IT AND THEN CUT IT YOU NITWIT!" "Now you 2. FIGHT TO THE DEATH!"

I don't like Family Guy. I just don't find it all that funny. It is mildly humorous, but it really doesn't have much on Futurama and Space Ghost. The jokes in those just crack me up. (although admittedly Futurama can be pretty weak at times. Bender seems to make up for that though...)

Haha.

Anyways, Family Guy is awesome. But I've also only watched the episodes once, so I can't comment on my favorite.

And mawk, how could you say that? Futurama better than Family Guy? Not even possible. Space Ghost is pretty funny though...

I can say that because it's my opinion.

And yes, I find Futurama funnier than family guy. Thus, it is in my opinion, better than Family Guy. I can sit through an entire episode of Family Guy and not even laugh once, finding myself distinctly unimpressed by it, but so far I haven't watched a single episode of Futurama without at least once being in tears with laughter.

One of my favourite futurama jokes was the one where Bender was asked to shock the professor (because the professor was unconscious) so Bender shouted "Your tax return is late! Things cost more than they used to! Young people use curse words!" at the professor.

That kind of joke will always be (for me) phenominaly funnier than the somewhat tiresome Pinky and the Brain ripoff baby who has aspirations of world domination. It's almost as bad as the Invader Zim "DOOM!" joke.

The whole cartoon plays off like the classic American family sitcom, which is a format I loathe with a vengeance. It just does nothing for me.

I guess I'm not intelligent enough to get that humor.

Granted, Family Guy can be (well, actually... most of the time, is) a little stupid as far as the humor goes. Still makes me laugh though.

Maybe Futurama has improved since I last watched it, I dunno. I watched a few of the very first episodes a few years back, and haven't watched anything from it ever since... so I suppose my opinion isn't quite valid.

Meh, you're entitled to your opinion. Personally I would advise that you give Futurama a bit more of a chance. You are right though that Futurama does take an above average level of intelligence if you're to get most of the jokes, whereas Family Guy merely requires a pulse in order to actually get the jokes. (finding them funny is a slightly different matter however)

I can't really compare Futurama to Family Guy since they are both so different. But I can definately tell you which one I find funnier.

But like I said, give Futurama a watch sometime. I think you'll be pleasantly suprised by some of the newer episodes.

Languor · #15 01-02-2005, 11:15 AM

I'll watch it next time it's on, but I don't think it's on here in the U.S. anymore. I'm pretty sure Fox cancelled it. I might be wrong though.

Oddly Insane · #16 01-02-2005, 12:43 PM

It's in the USA. I don't have cable so I'm not really sure. But I have 1st and 2nd season on DVD. I LOVE IT.

I'll have to find out when then. I didn't think it was... shows how much I know.

Adult Swim

Cartoon Network at 11:00 pm

Futurama

kthx

Languor · #19 01-02-2005, 07:31 PM

Cartoon Network? Lol. I haven't watched that in years.

Majic · #20 01-02-2005, 10:01 PM

Cartoon Network did suprisingly well with the addition of Adult Swim. Granted, adult is referring to the target audience of teenagers, but that's besides the point. The comedy lineup is damn good, if I do say so myself, and Saturday night anime could be worse. Or maybe not. I'm not well briefed upon the specific show selections.

Facsimile · #21 01-02-2005, 10:29 PM

I was a fan of both Futurama and Family Guy for ages, but now, a couple of years down the track, I can see Futurama trying to be funny, but failing (Which saddens me because I used to love it), and Family Guy always beeing laugh out loud.
And mawk, non-intelligent people don't get a lot of Family Guy, trust me. Sure, they laugh at the parts where someone gets hurt, but that's about it.

***Wil*** · #22 01-03-2005, 07:42 AM

Family Guy is hilarious. Sky One just never shows it.

Hobo · #23 01-03-2005, 09:24 AM

Family Guy > all those other fox cartoons.

Unless i already posted in this thread. Then *some kind of spam*

You mean Sky One Mix? I don't have that.

Adult Swim is the adult-oriented program on Cartoon Network. It plays at night... around 10 or so for my time I think? I dunno, I've only seen it once or twice. I've never heard of this "Adult Cartoon Network" before though.

it's not technically aimed at adults, but some adults may find it funny.

I'm pretty sure there is no ADULT CARTOON NETWORK with anime porn...... or whatever...

your friend is either bluffin, or doesn't know what it is...

Well hey there, ya muscly-armed paper boy! I'm wonderin' when your gonna bring me some good news!

I've got some popsicles in the cellar... you like popsicles?

Ugh. I'm so bad at remembering quotes, but Jeebus, I love Family Guy. I keep hearing rumors about a new season. Honestly, I hope they're true.

I've heard them too. I've heard it's coming out *looks at watch* this year.
If it's not true, then I'm going to burn the GameFAQs message boards to the ground.

That is, if they don't accidentally do it to themselves.
