Are You There God? It's Me, Peter

If I was stuck in an elevator with God, I'd probably ask Him some of the same questions Peter asked on Family Guy Season 16 Episode 20. Of all the questions, Peter had, the most important one, I think, was whether or not we were just a computer simulation for a higher species. That would answer a lot of questions about the weirdness of life. But if our life was being run by a higher species, what would be the purpose of God, then? And that's exactly the point.... more

The Unkindest Cut

A parent's love knows no bounds as Quagmire learned on Family Guy Season 16 Episode 19 after he lost his penis in a shark attack. It was more than a little weird that Quagmire was willing to have his dad's member transplanted to him, but for a guy whose life revolves around his penis, it makes perfect sense. The fact that Ida saved his penis also raises eyebrows since why keep something that you were so desperate to rid yourself of? Maybe Ida explained it, and I missed ... more

Family Guy should have made Family Guy Season 16 Episode 18 a Six Second Episode because that's about all the time it took for me to become completely bored with Hammer and the Millennial saga. Every piece of commentary made about Millennials and their many, many issues as well as our addiction to the Internet is stuff that has already been done and said before. Still, watching Peter transform into a Millennial after trying vaping was funny. Getting schooled by Hammer ... more

Mike Henry to Stop Voicing Family Guy's Cleveland Brown: 'Persons of Color Should Play Characters of Color'

Has Family Guy Reversed Its Decision to 'Phase Out' Gay Jokes?

Nine months after announcing on-air that it was “trying to phase out” gay jokes, Family Guy offered a clarification of sorts on Sunday. In the episode, titled “Disney’s The Reboot,” a focus group was assembled to help choose a new direction for the show, now in its 18th season. Following a scene with jokes about Peter’s sexuality, one group member said, “I thought I read you guys were phasing out gay jokes,” to which Peter replied, “... more

Family Guy Remembers Carrie Fisher (and Angela) With Emotional Eulogy

Family Guy struck a surprisingly emotional chord on Sunday, opening with Peter making a speech at Angela’s funeral — a eulogy which doubled as a tribute to Angela’s voice actress, the late Carrie Fisher. Borrowing from some of television’s timeless theme songs, Peter said, “Who could turn the world on with her smile? Angela. Who could take a nothing day and suddenly make it seem worthwhile? Angela. So no one told you life was gonna be this way. [Four claps.] Ang... more
