As i near my thirties i appreciate family guy far more then i did in my late teens or early twenties and i have absolutely no idea why
Because you haven't actually watched a full episode in years and just see funny clips on youtube that insulate you from the fact that the show's been a flaming dumpster fire since like 2008. They legitimately struggle to make a full coherent episode work for just 22 minutes now.
>>150937897Modern family guys sucks, sure. But i like old family guy now more then i did when i was younger and by logic it should be the other way around
>>150937933Oh, in that case it's probably because you're the age those earlier episodes were actually trying to appeal to. So you appreciate those episodes more because they were always meant more for people your age. It was originally intended to appeal to people that were middle-class Americans in their 30s to 40s.
>>150937860I feel the same way, and it's because Family Guy has become an extremely hateful show. It has open contempt for every single one of its characters, and I find that is an honest reflection on the real world.
>>150937860I like Family Guy but only for like first four seasons
>>150937860I'd already grown softer on Family Guy after accepting it's a show that refuses to take itself seriously and always keeps a "jokes first" mentality, but something also changed as I grew more admirable of how much job security it provides to the many people working on the show. It's something they all seem to enjoy being a part of, plus even the newer stuff is on average more entertaining than other long-running cartoons.
>>150937933>Family Guy>Well written CharactersFraud image.
>>150937860I don't like how in the newer seasons main characters are killing people left and right and are indifferent to their deathsseason 11https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3l1BVztCjzUseason 12https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZfM0B3V1jqUseason 16https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R0iSITWhNis
>>150938171A lot of those newer episode are still written by classic Family Guy writers like Chris Sheridan or Danny Smith so you can't even blame it on the new writing team
>>150937860As I near my 40s I find I don't even enjoy the early seasons of Family Guy I liked back when they aired any more. I do appreciate KotH more though.

>>150938780>Who is Lianne The least hot of the SP moms... ?
>>150937860It has a certain comfiness to it. Like Scooby-Doo: you know exactly what to expect, yet it's still entertaining enough for you not to get bored of watching.
>>150939921I'd feel sorry for you if it weren't you deliberately choosing to have such bad taste
>>150937860That's the boomer brain taking hold which is making you dumber
>>150937933>"Peter has never harmed a fly?" Da fuk? Wasn't there a running gag of him abusing Meg for no reason? >"Never acknowledged Mary's death"There's no character in Bob's burgers named Mary.This has to be a joke.

All these "adult comedy" shows are literally used as white noise by most of the population.
It’s always nice to have an adult animated show that never takes itself seriously.
>>150940066IRL, you idiot, as in the show runners and cast, not the characters in the show. Are you ragebaiting or something?
>>150937860Dementia
>>150940066>Bob's burgersThis got a laugh out of me regardless of whether it's bait or you're just retarded, Anon.
>>150940372Rick & Morty's inconsistent quality has given me a newfound appreciation for Family Guy and American Dad lately. I can always count on the latter two to at least be fun.
>>150940820>IRL, you idiot, as in the show runners and cast,Not harming a fly IRL is not some impressive feat, anon
>>150937860Someone once said that if you treat family guy like a series of comic strips rather than scenes in an overarching show it becomes much more bearable. And it works every time for me.
>>150941264That just makes it worse that SP failed to do it.
>>150937860Your standards went to the gutter
>>150937933>>150940820>>150940958Sorry for being ignorant, but why should IRL drama have any impact on whether or not a cartoon is good? That shit seems pretty irrelevant.
>>150940311Anon, I am sorry, but your comment gave me an excuse to go on an esoteric rant. The number one thing I cannot fucking stand about modern “adult comedy” cartoons is that the fact they’re animated is treated like a complete afterthought. It’s already bad enough that the art is bland, but the moment I can follow 100% of the “story” just by listening without even looking at the screen? It makes me want to commit a hate crime against the first person I see. How the hell is it that I lose absolutelynothingby not watching a cartoon? Why are you even animated if there isnothingabout your show that requires drawings, exaggeration, movement, or creativity? I swear 90% of these “adult comedies” could be turned into live-action sitcoms tomorrow, and literally no one would notice a difference because they aren’t using the medium. This is an animation. Go wild. Use a unique art style. Push visuals. Do something surreal, something impossible. Give me visual jokes, timing gags, insane scenarios, something. But no. Instead, we get scenes in Family Guy where they describe a joke in excruciating detail and then cut to said joke. Why even draw anything at that point? It’s such a disgraceful waste of a medium that can literally do anything. What the hell happened? You can’t watch Harvey Birdman as background noise and get the same experience; even with limited animation, you still have to watch it. You definitely can’t do that with anything from the 1930s–1950s. Those cartoons were alive. Meanwhile, modern “adult animation”? I can just throw on the audio, walk away, and boom, I’ve basically seen the entire episode. Because nothing is happening on screen worth looking at. I remember someone saying that “adult cartoons are written by comedians, not animators.” If that’s true, it shows. Painfully. I’m just tired of the slop.
>>150941839Most adult comedy cartoon writers are live action writers or wanna get into writing marvel movies. Im serious
>>150937860roadhouse
>>150937860Because in your thirties you stop being gay and giving a fuck about whatever's fashionable to like at the time, and just enjoy things for what they are
>>150937860Family Guy is geared towards boomers so it's no surprise you like it more as you get older. That's why it got more popular years after it first got cancelled.
>>150942792At this point, I can tell.
>>150938683May he Rest In Peace
>>150941839As long as the west(mainly america being the worst culprit) views cartoons as "just for kids and shouldn't have bad words except capeshit" and the strong mentality of trying to be like Family Guy/Simpsons, we are fucked.Not even Europe and South America has fallen for this meme.
>>150937933I see more people on average talking about South Park than I do Family Guy so make of that what you will
>>150945725The hell is going on with Kyle’s face?
>>150937933They acknowledged Mary Kay's death in a tribute.Also, no South Park fan would say there's no fuckable characters
>>150945754he angy

>>150937860Your standards have plummeted.
>>150941145Stewie is so cute whenever he gets excited
Because it attacks "political correctness" it makes jokes attacking lgbt and the disabled and Brian is condemned far more than Lisa
>>150937860Is It the Family Guy.
>>150941839I'm waiting for the part where you go on an esoteric rant, anon. Everything you said was quite exoteric.
>>150937860Family Guy is schlock but is decently funny and entertaining. Shows like the Simpsons and South Park have eaten themselves like an ouroboros.
>>150949901The very same!
>>150947224A lot, the fandom are mostly fujo and shotacon. Trey admit he write with the help of fan materials.
>>150937860It's because Family Guy knows it's just fiction, dumb waste of time that doesn't offer any real value except money to this world. And that applies to all visual animation, except classical arts like theatre. People seethe at Family Guy for being unfunny slop, but Family Guy knows that its entire medium is nothing but worthless slop. That's why manchildren hate it, as it exposes the fact that they've become emotionally connected to pointless garbage that is inherently meant to entertain consumers. That's why the existence Family Guy makes people seethe. You have good taste, anon.
>>150937933Based
>>150938171It's been like this since like the post-revival, I guess they just ramped it up. It's incredibly quaint now to watch the very first episode and see a gag like kids getting sharp and dangerous toys thanks to Peter's negligence but without any violence being shown.
>>150950451based on what
>>150950559This episode is so embarrassing
>>150950374This is the fandom he wanted, after all.
>>150937933I aggree its become my.main backround noise show again and the older episodes still hold up. I didnt watch pretty much any of it after 2008-2010ish due to a sharp decline in quality but from what I can tell there was at least 1 season where it got alot better again between then and now
>>150941700Objectively it doesn't. But entertainment and enjoyment people get out of it is a subjective thing.

>>150937860of all the shows from Seth (except for either The Orville or Ted), American Dad will always triumph over Family Guy for sure as it has way better character development and humor. That said, Seth's shows are perfect shitpost material. Having that said, I'd still prefer Mike Judge's projects over Seth's projects, and both Beavis & Butthead and King of the Hill are GOATed

>>150956812AD isn't even really Seth's project anyway, it was mostly Mike and Matt's ideas.
>>150937933Peter has killed more people than any other character in the show. More than Stewie.
>>150957651Hasn't Mike been mostly absent for a while now?
>>150957651Still, it's very hilarious through and through, and except for Aqua Teen, King of the Hill and Beavis and Butthead, it's the only show that has been consistent throughout its run
>>150941839It's like with Team Fortress 2. They made the game cartoony looking because it for some reason explained why there would be two bases so close to each other. Cartoon adult shows use cartoon as an excuse to do dumb and lazy jokes because they feel like a live action show wouldn't work. Why do you think everyone in these shows have their energy ramped up to 11 and get in to shit like accidentally causing a nuclear meltdown when they're supposed to be an average family?

>>150950313Peter Griffin's eyebrows were removed after the first two seasons because they were considered "superfluous," as the show can convey emotion through other means like furrowed brows. The character's original eyebrow design was also unrealistic, with Peter's eyebrows appearing above his hairline and Lois's eyebrows being barely there. Removing them simplified the animation and allowed for a more consistent visual design that was less cluttered and easier to animate.>Animation choice: The eyebrows were removed as a design choice to simplify the character's appearance and animation.>Emotional expression: The show found other ways to express emotion, such as furrowing the brow, making the separate eyebrow lines unnecessary.>Design consistency: The original design was inconsistent and unrealistic, with Peter's eyebrows floating above his hairline. The change made the design more streamlined.

>>150937933>no fuckable charactersskill issue, i'm afraid
>>150963629even Mike Judge's shows had more fuckable characters than South Park. Look at the women seen in either Beavis & Butthead or King of the Hill for instance
>>150941839You might know this already but writers have actually been asked now by streaming services to purposefully write their shows so you don't have to watch them to know what's happening. It's stupid as fuck and came from them noticing the same thing you described where the show is treated as white noise by parts of their audience. Instead of thinking they need to try harder to create something compelling to watch, they instead are going in the opposite direction and thinking they have to cater to that style of person who's just not going to pay attention to begin with, and just want comforting noise of their favorite shows playing.It's completely counter productive because you're not hooking those people into enjoying the show to reach the point that they will treat it as white noise then. That part is earned by being good to watch first.

>>150964213Hhhot.
>>150937860It's because the early seasons of Family Guy become significantly funnier with time.It's a lot like recalling the funniest parts of Spongebob and you realize immediately why the meme potential is so outlandishly high.
>>150937860Thankfully, we have Family Guy to help us in our time of need.
>>150965904for better or for worse
Modern Family Guy is still miles better than South Park, Simpsons and other comedy shows because it doesn't try to be political, "deep" and moralist. Also it doesn't try hard on degeneracy
>>150966059>Modern Family Guy>better than other comedy showsAmerican Dad, King of the Hill, Beavis & Butthead and Aqua Teen would like to have a word with you
>>150956924it will FINALLY be a Road To adventure (the first in ten years) but in movie form
Family became completely and totally unwatchable after a certain season. The fact that anyone still has any positive feeling for it I can only chalk up to rose-coloured nostalgia for when there were actually jokes in the show.The Simpsons became boring and unfunny and not worth watching. Family Guy became completely unwatchable entirely. Worse than boring. It made you wonder if the writers were trying to get fired and just writing retarded bullshit on purpose.Unless Family Guy somehow got better eventually long after I stopped watching I have to attribute to all of you having COVID-melted microplastics instead of a brain.
>>150966059>it doesn't try to be politicalnigga Family Guy is political. Did you not even pay attention to the show? Brian Griffin is just the liberal douchebag. My god anon, you are a retard for thinking that Family Guy is not political when the show is just as such as Simpsons and South Park. You literal retard
>>150966487Being political =/= having politics in it. Otherwise every show that says sharing is good is communist, every show that says to respect people's choices is liberal and every show that teaches family traditional values is conservative. Being political is addressing current political issues and seeking to influence people on them.
>>150957560James Woods guest appears are the peak of the show? My question is would they still use them even thou hes a twitter bad guy now? I dont follow the show so i have no idea when his last appearence was
>>150957560>>150957570This is the best idea ever. No joke
>>150938079Me too, mate.
>>150966076>American DadWas never better>King of the WokeTrash nowadays >Beavis And Butthead revivalSanitized >Aqua TeenReddit>>150966487Because Brian's character was always about being a pretentious hypocrite. Still it doesn't keep holding itself to the current political thing everytime. The show also make fun of conservationists and take a piss at the americans as a whole, treating everything dumb and cartoonic, something that South Park forgot to be by forcing DRUMPF seasons and boring Randy episodes instead of the kids being dumb kids in absurd adventures, normally involving things they understand jackshit nothing about. It's so bad the show lost it's absurdity and got rid of many cool characters that made it's world fascinating like pic related.They even made hell and Satan going around DRUMPF shit. It's fucking tiresome and petty. I have more fun with Peter being a fat retard than any of those pretentious try hard shows.
