I mean this is some Mickey Rooney-level of bullshit. In 2013.
Family Guy and Seth Macfarlane sure do love their rape jokes.(Possible Trigger Warning)

I'm with you. I can't watch any of Seth MacFarlane's shows anymore. It's like my tolerance for his stuff melted away (even American Dad). Bob's Burgers, I can watch that shit all day long!
Just read the first page and surprised so many are acting as if American Dad was immune to the same type of "jokes"
Off the top of my head there's an episode when Roger keeps mugging Hayley's boyfriend, Jeff, and at one point Roger begins to pull down Jeff's pants and then sighs "ugh I don't have time for this"
Or when Stan is at a restaurant with his co-workers and there's this young boy dancing and moving towards some Stan and is stopped by his father, saying "We've talked about this...this is why you keep getting molested"

Also thinking about (and pardon if this feels off topic), a reminder that Loretta ended up written off and subsequently killed because Alex Borstein had difficulties voicing her. Like no one at the crew thought about hiring a black voice actress as a replacement? Cleveland did end up getting a black voice actor years later, but still.
Edit: For that matter, Alex also voiced the Asian reporter, Tricia. Not really sure if she has since gained a new VA.

I might be misremembering but I feel like in early family guy they were less frequent and marginally more relevant to the particular episode. As it went on it felt like they just started putting any old shite in, all the time, but perhaps that was just a cumulative effect in action.
The show nowadays has veered away from shock humor and is now pretty absurdist, for better or worse. I sometimes have it play on Hulu while cleaning up the living room. At the very least, I prefer it to modern Simpsons, which just tends to bore me to tears (but that may just be because I have a stronger fondness for golden-age Simpsons than the pretty-good early seasons of FG).
Yeardly Smith was the only that had the sense to not do this bit?
Or their fake Lisa was really that far off that the others sounded legit.

Pretty certain none of the Simpsons VA reprised their roles in that infamous cameo. It's quite noticeable those are imitations.
Pretty much, yeah. I enjoyed him before they made him a terrible terrible character. Other than the great zinger about Renee Zellweger the one part where he's caught peeping in the ladies' room in the most ninja of ways kind of pissed me off because it brought his deviancy a little too far. It was all downhill from there. It shouldn't surprise me that this was the third episode of the show returning, where everything felt off anyway.
So it's their Lisa that is really so bad it makes the others close by association.
none of those are Simpsons voice actors, I thought it sounded super obvious cause they all sound terrible.
I mean the Lisa one was soooooooooooooo sooooooooooo bad it made the others seem legit in comparison.
Like hearing the sound of a door closing for a voice line, you recognize that the rest of the cast is voiced by actual humans.
I'm sorry, but as a fan of AD this is simply rose tinted glasses.
This was the first one to come to mind, if you want I can think of some more.
Point is, it's weird to be in one camp but not the other.
Early Family Guy>early American Dad at least, but after that, well...I would take American Dad over it nowadays.
Maybe I should watch that show more but I saw the whole 1st season and I can't get into it at all really.
It's weird how my parents were OK with me watching Family Guy but never were on board with me looking at South Park or even the Simpsons at one point in time.
I never truly managed to watch SP until years after the fact and when I did, I just never saw the appeal in it all. Crass for the sake of it.

Seth Mcfarlane's Family guy is hot trash. I have no idea why this show is still going on. It's Sexist, Racist, Xenophobic. They get away with making Sexist jokes and racist jokes all the time. They date Black people to the '70s. There's no creativity with them. Like it's just a sad way of comedy that is just hot trash. It really shows who is writing and creating this show and their inner thoughts on the world and how they think they can get away with this.
The 1st series is them trying to decide what the show is. It rapidly improves from there.
I love all the seasons, but i think starting from series 3 or 4 is a good place.
Ha, ha, so skip a few seasons eh? But yeah, anything that works is fine for me.
Ah, I'll keep that in mind if I were to watch it again.
All the characters on that show are pretty awful people (except maaaaybe Marshal), but Ted is the worst. Ted, in some ways, is as bad as Barney, he just doesn't realize it. Barney is at least honest with himself that he's a dirtbag, for how little that means.
Damn. For me I absolutely adore Bob's season 1 and think it downgrades every season following that. It's not a bad show now by any means but at its worst it is toothless and obnoxious in its current state(for me anyways). Nothing makes me laugh more than season 1 though, it's just so raw and unfiltered.

This and everything else people are talking about is edgy, absurdist comedy. Stop putting real world feelings into it. It's not that hard. And yes I get a lot may not like it and that's ok. The humor can be too weird or off putting.
I think the FG rape stuff vs. AD rape stuff are on two different levels. The FG examples are often waaaay too illustrative of the actual crime, where as it's usually only mentioned in AD and is mostly a contextual jab where the character in question is the joke rather than rape itself being the butt of the joke like it often is in FG. I'm not saying it's okay at all in American Dad, but it's harder to let it mar the entire rest of the series because it's way less in-your-face the way it is in Family Guy.
Another interesting example of rape as a joke in animated comedies is that Jellybean King rape scene in Rick and Morty. It's actually one of the more disturbing ones out there because of how serious the scene is but it seems to get a pass because it's mostly a joke about the King rather than rape, I think.

Watch the "Burger Boss" episode and go from there. It's video game related and funny as hell.
Ha, ha, I had no idea there was an episode like that, I'm a fan of video game related stuff in episodes.
