Giggity goo.
Hehe, alright!
“Flashbacks” should be a bigger circle.

Yea exaclty, they flashback a little too much
that makes it cool tho
there should also be a circle for “fights with chickens”

You seem to be suggesting that the plot of the episode is unrelated to the episode. That makes not a lick of sense.
On the contrary, the diagram does include the plot is part of the essence of Family Guy, but has nothing to do with the content it is known for, although that can be subverted, as there are episodes where sex was a relevent plot points. Like that one time Peter sold himself to science, and given a gay gene…and the sexual hilarity ensued.
Yeah… give Hillary props for being such a good sport
What I don’t understand, is how it makes no reference to the content of the episode, the crossing sections have no content, and in general, the graph has no meaning.
This graph fails because Episodes of Family Guy HAVE no plot.
Every episode (that I have watched…which is most most them) has a plot. Something happens throw of the status quo, funny stuff happens, and the family returns to the status quo at the end. It’s the plot style of pretty much every sitcom, especially mainstream cartoon ones.
I just watched an episode where Perter actually says he lov… er, nevermind i didn’t say anything about meg!
That is actually what it’s trying to say, and thus, it fails for being so crap that you got a completely opposite meaning from it.
exactly
um, duh. Quit making such obvious charts/graphs. “the chances of me hitting a red light when i’m rushing to the hospital….oh, what’s that, the graph says “everytime” oh, hahaha, how clever. Bah, you aren’t clever! This isn’t even remotely funny. Graph Jam has become a pit of stupid, obvious, and excruciatingly predictable “jokes”. They don’t even “swear” that much, either. It’s a once in a while thing, not even every episode…..frack, I hate you graph jam, and the people who submit their utter crap to you.
Yea, I know what you mean…this graph isn’t really that funny, just…obvious.
Make a clever graph then.
And get a life. Do you realize you’re ranting about a website that posts funny/stupid graphs? In the context of the real world, your post seems a little overboard, doesn’t it? Take a pill and relax dude, it’s gonna be alright.
No!
of what? the gaseous content of earth’s atmosphere?
Agreed. Do better or quit whining.
Don’t let the door hit you in the ass then; nobody is forcing you to look at any of the graphs.
Could YOU do better?
yeah, make it into a pie chart and it makes a hell of a lot more sense. total misuse of a venn diagram.
backatcha.
I totally agree. The old graphs were witty and refreshing. These graphs are just the same joke over and over. I’m so sick of it. I always check in to see if I’ll be surprised by maybe ONE interesting graph but have thus far been disappointed.
Family Guy rules!
no, no it does not.
Simpsons did it!
It used to do it. But they hired some chimps to write the episodes.
Don’t tell the Manatees.
I am in agreement, good sir.
yes it does
You forgot “racism.”
mockery of racism*
If only it *were* mockery…
It is. What makes you say it isn’t?
Simply repeating racist tropes and then laughing about them does not really constitute mockery (which I would argue can be a fairly sophisticated form of comedy), it’s simply lazy. Perhaps more importantly, I would argue that it takes exceptional comedic sense to make racism even the least bit funny (it having no inherent comedic value), and the writers of Family Guy seem to lack this particular sense (in general, though I will certainly concede that there are a very few moments where the writers are able to to tap into American racism for some real comedic gold. These moments are, however, few and far between, and have recently been outweighed by those where the attempt at humor fails rather spectacularly).
For an example of where the attempt at humor fails…an episode that consists in large part of many of the characters essentially in blackface is no less problematic because the characters are animated – and the fact that it continually passes for comedy is, I think, indicative of the continued problems of racism in American society.
Thank you so much for this statement! This is one of the many reasons why as soon as I hear, “It seems today…” I flip the channel!
Family guy is made for mature audiences. If you can’t handle the “racism”, don’t freaking complain since obviously it’s your own fault for not being mature enough.
Sexism is significantly more rampant.
Possibly, although that doesn’t reduce the significance of the racist elements that exist within the show.
I really would have picked a different word than rampant, since my mind just thought “Oh – rampant sexism. Bet the ladies enjoy that
”
yes but the parts that are COMPLETELY unrelated to the plot line (especially the idiotic flashbacks) are what make family guy AMAZING!
agreed!
i find that people who dont like Family Guy are huge piece of worthless crap douchebags (:
I hate Family Guy. It’s all crude humor. Yeah, it’s got funny parts sometimes, but not enough for me to watch it.
It’s not that I’m a prude, because I love the Simpsons with all my heart, and Lord knows there are some crude jokes peppered in with the irony and satire and sarcasm. But really, it does get pretty old.
Being a douche-bag would be saying “i [sic] find that people who…[actually] like Family Guy are huge piece [sic] of worthless crap douchebags [sic] (:
Most of my friends and family watch it, so I wouldn’t say that. Have a nice day.
And you just described what I consider FG viewers to be. After having seen three episodes (all against my will), I laughed exactly 0 times. What the hell do people see in this show?
Aw, you’re so sophisticated. Lucky!
I liked it more when there were less of them. After the first one or two, they just start to bug me, and all I can think is “Wow – the writers have clearly given up, and now are just taking the piss”
And yet you continue to watch it, and it continues to get good ratings and stay on the air. So sad.
yeah I agree with this graph, IMO Family Guy isn’t really funny if you take out the cheap shock value jokes that are (mostly) unrelated to the plot. I will admit the show makes me laugh, but it’s not nearly as good as The Simpsons or other shows that actually put creativity into their jokes
You forgot a bubble with “ripped off of The Simpsons”
Fa sho
Everywhere I go, “Hey Cartman, you must like Family Guy, right?” “Hey, your sense of humor reminds me of Family Guy, Cartman.” I am NOTHING like Family Guy! When I make jokes, they are inherent to a story! Deep, situational and emotional jokes based on what is relevant and has a POINT! Not just one interchangeable joke after another!
Don’t you mean “screw you guys, I’m going home”?
They don’t even call them “Flashbacks” in Family Guy. They call them “clips,” although I think a more apt descriptor might be “Tangent clips.”
Why was a venn diagram used? Doesn’t make that much sense this way.
How so? Flashbacks can include swearing, etc.
notice that comedy is nowhere to be found.
Not with an attitude like yours, Champ.
Really people? I love Family Guy because they spit right in the face of televison ethics. The FFC song? A protest against censorship. If you are SO superior you need a intricately detailed story line and the filth they put on Family Guy is too much, switch over to South Park where they keep it classy (note the sarcasm). STFU and pull the stick out of your ass.
*applauds*
Maybe it started off like that, but now – now it just people saying rude words and laughing at themselves.
FINALLY someone who understands Family Guy.
Misuse of a Venn Diagram.
Pie chart makes more sense.
Um…. not really, since the point is to show that the other elements rarely intersect with the plot.
Forgot to include:
-Unfunny gags that take waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyy too long.
-Unfunny (intentionally) Musical numbers that take waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyy too long.
-Brian being being a preachy asshole!
Should have a great big circle around the whole thing titled “Garbage”.
I hate family guy. What a bunch of trashy, toilet humor.
Yeah, because Graph Jam and Fail Blog are so much better.
i lol’d.
prost!
on the episodes shown on tv, there’s relatively little swearing
you graduate third grade?
Should have been a bar or pie graph. Logistics fail!
Ladies and gentlemen, Mr. Conway Twitty.
Ha!
very good.
The graph is a Venn Diagram so it can show how the other 3 subjects never have anything to do with the episode’s plot.
you’re an even bigger buzzkill than Buzz Killington.
You missed out on a great chance for a joke in the middle there… it could have been like “Bill Clinton” or something.
completely accurate- there’s no humor
Oh there’s plenty of humor you just have no snese of humor.
No there’s no humor in family guy Family guy is just a version of the simpsons only more stupid unfunny and retarded
Ah, well, I’m glad you’ve cleared that up for everybody.
this is why it’s so great.
nyyeheheheheheheheheheheh
Family guy has a plot?
This show is worse than nothing. Racism is too much a part of it. Tell me how the part where the gay baby and the dog go to Gettysburg is funny at all. Just terrible.
Says the person who has ‘theanus.com’ as their website.
yeah and ur point?
True. Yet I still love it.
Though I love American Dad more.
That’s the same as [SCRUBS] but family guy once made hitler on a unicycle somehow tie into the plot… kinda… never mind it’s just silly
Omigod, seriously? You didn’t get it? The whole POINT of Hitler suddenly appearing on a unicycle was an ironic demonstration of how Family Guy never has a “plot”…now go home and watch 2 and a Half Men.
I dont recall all that much swearing, seeing as it’s on public television…but I suppose my California version of cursing might be slightly different from the mid-american version LOL
wow, i find this graph ironic. whoever made this clearly does not understand ven diagrams.
And the swearing, flashbacks (which are actually called “cutaway gags”), and sex refs are like the best. so suck that.
although i admit family guy wont stop copying the simpsons.
i love the chicken fights!
yo… I luv that show, but seriously that is true en soo many different ways. lol
at least they’re FUNNY sex refs, flashbacks, and swearing….besides, how many episodes have you actually sat down to watch?
god yes
u forgot to include humor
family guy is the best thing to come out of the US in a long time, by far the best tv show!
i understand why some people can get offended by it but, they just need to lighten up!
just because you like family guy doesnt mean everyone has to
Lol, it’s funny you super Family Guy fans are getting mad because he pointed out the obvious, which is true, they do a crap ton of flashback/reference scenes. Not everyone has to think this show is a shyt
um… yeah… it’s not really that funny. but i stopped watching it after “prom dumpster baby.” that was messed up.
i’ve laughed more watching king of the hill than that piece of plagiarized crap.
you forget still image
What plot?
I can’t think of any really important plot.
And also, you forgot random musical numbers.
ooh, looks like Kitty is sleeping in my room tonight.
oh, i love southpark
