This ongoing battle has lasted a few series and was recently explained... it's DEEP, man, DEEP!

That clip is exactly what I'm talking about. It's all about clumsily contrived flashbacks, and has absolutely no original wit or commitment to a storyline. The humour isn't situational, and doesn't derive from the linear narrative - it's like someone writes a really mundane script and they hammer as many blindly pre-prepared jokes in as they can, either through some random flashback or someone or something implanted in the present timeline, but irrelevent to it.

I'm not a fan of Family Guy, but I put off seeing Dumb & Dumber for ages because I thought I would hate it -- I didn't care for Jim Carey's comedy and thought that the movie would merely turn out to be a 2 hr demonstration. But I was completely wrong. I loved the film and found almost every scene to be funny.
It may be low-brow, but it makes me laugh, and that's all you can ask of a comedy.

ah now, is that the phrase made popular by the Jay Sherman character on 'The Critic'?nekokate wrote: I'll revert back to "it sucks!"

Family Guy is a chain of gags, most of which are quite funny, or very funny.
Ever since that episode of South Park where they point out that the jokes in Family Guy don't derive from the plot, people have been stating that as if it's a criticism in itself.
Well, it is not.
I expect it's harder to write something such as South Park, where the writers have to keep everything relating back to a central narrative, but that doesn't invalidate all types of cartoon comedy which stray from that model.

Here's a directory with the first three series, 'Stewie Griffin, The Untold Story', their first feature, and also 'The Family Guy Album' for quick download...
