You're gonna have to elaborate. Family Guy isn't exactly universally loved.

If I had to guess, they regurgitated Pee-Wee Herman's performance from Back to the Beach.

Family Guy has been so horrible this past season that I took it off my tivo's record list.

Besides, this song will forever be related to pee-wee herman.



*edit* Heh, looks like others brought up pee-wee while I was searching for links.

Family Guy's funny but they tend to have jokes that run way too long or are repetitive.   The Simpsons had one "rake scene" in 19 years, Family Guy has one every week.

The South Park guys nailed perfectly how lame Family Guy jokes are.

Some guy posts as Rare Hero over on RGP and is constantly looking for attention because he's some minor contributor to Family Guy.

Family Guy was killed at the right time the first time around.  It was 1/3 lame, 1/3 musicals, 1/3 hilarious.  The mix hasn't improved any since its return.



Actually I believe he is a director on the show and used to be one of the lead animators.  Hardly "minor".

Not a bad way to make a living is it?

*show still sucks though.

Im usually a fan of Family Guy, but I must say that damn song got annoying fast. The scene stolen from Office Space with Stewie and Brian smashing the record? Incredibly satisfying.

I agree. It might have been funny the first 2 or 3 times, but it got old pretty quick.
The Office Space ripoff made it all worthwhile though. I kinda wanted to do that to my TV.

It actually reminds me of both of them. First FMJ, then Back to the Beach. *does the Jamaica Ska*

heard of what?   you aren't talking about that avian related story that should have been in the newspaper are you.


I agree that the mix on family guy is 1/3 good, 1/3 tolerable and 1/3 crap, but this one did catch me in a good mood i guess.

Something about an ornithological species, right?

I may just have to ringtone that, just like I did pbj time.  Talk about something to annoy adults and draw everyone's attention.  Does anyone want my pbjtime ringtone?  MP3 format, and did it myself.  It sounds fantastic.  (I did cut out Peter's line when he interrupts.)Peanut Butter Jelly Time!

i love the family guy, have since it first came out, nothing is ever 100% perfect but more often then not Family Guy cracks me up. My only disdain for the show is the excessive musical numbers. The ratio of funny to lame is not good in that aspect, but it did give us comic gold like the "You've got AIDS" song

then dont. either you like it or you dont. you cant force yourself to, and theres no point in doing so. Im that very minor percentage of Family Gy watchers who loves it but can understand that not everyone does.
