Has there ever been an UNfunny moment in Family Guy?

by Wendy on June 19th, 2008

I love Family Guy, honestly, I do, but sometimes they go too far into the realm of “trying to be funny but it backfires because it’s REALLY NOT FUNNY.” Case in point:

The time when Peter Griffin was doing a stand-up comedy routine in a hospital full of terminally ill children.

Making fun of Lou Gehrig’s disease. Sick.

Michael J. Fox and Parkinson’s.

Quagmire finding the tied-up cheerleader in the bathroom.

However, here’s the thing: Family Guy is going to offend everyone eventually. That seems to be their main goal. So even though they do push the envelope a wee bit too far sometimes, that’s why we keep watching.

The only bad part is when the really poor taste jokes are not done well - like the Prom Night Dumpster Baby. That was just stupid. Also, when they do the same joke a hundred times in one episode - that’s just lazy writing! What do you think - are there any moments or jokes in Family Guy that made you go “oh, they went too far!”?
