Now, before any of you fanatics of Seth MacFarlane's monopolization on the adult cartoon front wish to attack me or tell me I'm being too sensitive: this post is about why Seth MacFarlane sucks on a very basic level. All isms aside (which include but are not limited to sexism, misogyny, racism, homophobia, transphobia, slut-shaming, and fat-hating), MacFarlane's shows just suck.
Why, do you ask?
Because his comedy has just about run its course. He's officially out of jokes, and you dudebros are hailing it as some extradinary work of comedy.
Um. No.
If 10 minutes of a given MacFarlane show episode isn't being spent on some character engaging in mindless noise making or repetitive fight scenes, then you can bet that those ten minutes are being used for some other exponentially obnoxious scene.
And even the "edgy" humor is nothing special. Hahaha domestic violence. Oh man that racism sure is (not) fresh. Fat people are totes gross? Nice job utilizing gay stereotypes. Note: there's absolutely nothing original about relying on stereotypes for jokes. Can anyone say "cliche?"
It goes on. So go ahead: tell me about how Seth MacFarlane is a comedic genius. Just know that it's all bullshit. You douchebags eat up the same fucking jokes (and not just on Family Guy--Cleveland show too--except with Black people!!) and have the temerity to say it's original? In what way, exactly?
I am expecting a slew of MacFarlane defenders. Just know that this thread will be heavily moderated. Just because I'm criticizing a beloved (HA!) t.v. show doesn't mean I'm giving bigots a free reign on what's posted here--and don't bother giving me that free speech bullshit, because that's not gonna fly here (hate speech ≠ free speech).
P.S. Anyone else notice how lovers of Family Guy will often measure it's supposed awesomeness by comparing it to The Simpsons? What the hell is up with that??
