Title: Get Fuzzy censored
Post by: hypernova on April 20, 2008, 12:25:25 pm
If anyone here reads the Get Fuzzy strips, you undoubtedly woke up to a rather heavily censored strip yesterday morning.  Does anyone know where an uncensored version exists?  It looks as if it was censored before it was even sent out to the papers, because all the scans online have the same exact censor bars in shape and size.

As far as I can tell, it wasn't meant to be just some black bars, but I could be wrong.

It was probably intentional by the artist.

The South Park and Family Guy references are dead give aways. The reference about the kid gluing something to his chin is in reference to an episode of South Park where Cartman glues a scrotum to Butters chin in order to get on a talk show. The Family Guy "Monkey Boy" is a reference to Red Summer? I'll have to watch it again to be sure. Either way, considering the topic of the strip, it makes sense for the artist to black it out.

Wouldn't it be cool if Family Guy was funny?

Are you kidding? It's hilarious. Much funnier than the overrated Simpsons IMHO.

And far funnier than South Park which was good for one or two seasons, then became the same old shlop over and over and over again.  Oh look, a gay joke.  Oh look, a ---steaming pile of meadow muffin--- joke.  Oh look, a penis joke!

Because it's funny and isn't afraid to make fun of anything or anyone.

It's definately not funny, so that can't be it   ;D

Okay, to be fair, the first few seasons before it was cancelled were pretty good, but its been a long downhill ride since then.

Family Guy - 1 out of 3 of the original episodes were hilarious.  1 out of 3 were terrible, and the final third were musicals. 
Heh, true.

Family Guy isn't funny.

South Park is. 

The writing on South Park has gotten better over the years.  I would say the past 3-4 years are the best ever.  If you dismiss South Park because you didn't like the first few seasons than you are really missing out.

There is an entire Wiki page to devoted to explaining just how and why Family Guy sucks.  It's not just about the cheap jokes, hack writing and plagiarism either.

Enjoy!

People are entitled to their opinions, even if that opinion is completely wrong.  It's sad if you can't find Family Guy funny.  The day that happens is the day I will commit suicide because it means I have no sense of humor.

You guys really need to go watch South Parks "Cartoon Wars I & II"

"Cartman and Kyle are at war over the popular cartoon, "Family Guy." Kyle loves "Family Guy" and Cartman hates it. The two boys embark upon a mad chase across the country and the fate of "Family Guy" lies with the first boy to reach Hollywood."

Here are links where you can watch both parts, LEGALLY!:

Part 1: http://www.southparkstudios.com/guide/1003/

Part 2: http://www.southparkstudios.com/guide/1004/

The best is when they discover that Family Guy is really written by a bunch of Manatees who nudge floating beach balls with pop culture references written on them into a chute where they are assembled into "jokes".

Here is another great one: http://www.southparkstudios.com/clips/103667

I sure hope South Park does another 'fresh from the headlines' episode about the internet again.   ::)



Yeah, me too!  I don't like my comedy funny, I like it fresh from the headlines!

Southpark is normally the most spot-on funny satire of pop-culture on television.  It goes after all the "golden calves" created by Hollywood and the media.

This season hasn't been the best by any stretch of the imagination, but it is still funny.

I just watched The Simpsons for the first time in ages last night. I laughed my butt off throughout the episode. I have watched Family Guy a handful of times, but the show just isn't that funny. I may chuckle here and there, but it is far inferior to The Simpsons and Southpark.
