Nope. I only watch it because the subhuman dialogue puts me to sleep.

>>91764504
Really, none of Fox's shows, let alone their cartoons are all that relevant these days. No matter how hard they try to force them down the collective public's throats.

>>91762778
If this show lasted one season, these repetitive bland moments would be memes
If this show lasted 4, that'd be something
If it lasted 15, it'd be fucking ridiculous just how much money they've made.

>>91763201
Why are they so obsessed with that one "hurt" pose?

>>91762947
The one with the alien and the fish.

>>91772985
Idk, I don't think i've ever seen anyone fall with their arm behind them like that.

Now you can write an insincere schmaltzy ending complete with lazy callback just like the pros!

How many years has it been since a Family Guy episode has actually had a plot to it?

>>91772985
It's the closest thing to an animation style they have. That one pose.

The episode with Norm MacDonald voicing Death is the best episode in the series. Prove me wrong.

>>91773914
there's like a few episodes where norm macdonald voiced death.

>>91774182
No, there isn't. Norm only voiced Death the very first time. All subsequent appearances ever since then were Adam Carolla.

Nah nigga. Homo Sapiens are too smart a species to work on FG. They need other mammals for that shit. By the way thats what always pissed me off about Family Guy. Seth is smart, the cuck himself tried to bring back Cosmos for Christ's sakes, how the fuck do you degrade yourself by doing shit like this. In terms of animation he's also not bad: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wuSu07KiMjs. This reminds of that one FG creepy pasta about a depressed Seth hiring some asshole to run FG for a while, only to make it edgier, a theory that I am starting to believe.

Autism is hardly required to notice it. It's like the Dreamworks Face of the show.

I hate this show.

It does for real shows not cartoons.
They even have a short clip between commercials saying well be right back

I dunno. This still makes me laugh:

>>91773467
I may be wrong but I remember that in an episode a lot of people fall and everyone of them has that goddamn pose

>>91778580
Yea but when was the last time you've seen a "we're back" bumper? it usually cuts back to it instantly

>>91778924
Any crowd murdering scene?

>>91763013
wo-OAH!

>>91762778
The funny thing is that it looks like it was made on GoAnimate, when in actual fact, it's actually shipped of to some shitty Korean animation studio that takes almost a year or something to produce an episode.

>>91779352
>GoAnimate
what is this anomaly anyway? i see "my reaction to" videos on youtube with it and it's weird

why is it mcfarlane copied?

>>91773616
Jesus it's so robotic

>>91777321
Seth's humour is a mix of pop culture, smut but not edgyness and old school. Look at Ted

>>91778619
Throw enough shit against the wall, something will stick

>>91762778
i watched one episode the other week because fuck watching any ongoing series, its all lost all over again and it ends with a fat kid dacning on ddr
Of course thats pretty hard to actually animate so instead the entire body was static moving fowards and backwards while the legs moved all over the place in comletely unnatural ways
Its funny when they think they are actually making animation, no guys, your characters stand and sit around and you stick to the poses unless its a peter fights something scene wich you dont do anymore

>>91771969
What about The Ginder (cancelled after one season despite critical praise)?

>>91773616
Was I the only one surprised that the show is still animated frame-by-frame (no auto-tween)?

>>91762778
>*falls down with right arm bent behind his back*

>>91762778
Remember when the show didn't stoop to the low level of excessive vulgarity and shock humor to try and be edgy.

Tfw peter will never be an almost Chevy Chase style goofy retro dad like he was in season 1 again

R.I.P. Family Guy, you will not be missed by me

>>91772985
They said in a commentary all the way back in season one that they really liked the pose so now It's a running Joke that ran way too long.

>>91763756
Nothing really, each episode had one coherent narrative, an A plot and a B plot, there were cutaway gags buy they weren't forced and bitter, the show was a little edgy but not in a completely detached way, and it still had a lot of heart and the characters were shown to ultimately care about each other.

Now it's just a dead eyed bore fest where everyone competes to be the most uninspired sociopath.

Fucking south park has more expressive storyboards than that.

>>91787287
It's frowned upon and considered a storyboard cheat to use ripped models.It's only socially accepted if it's a very designed model like a freaky demon.

No wonder his shows keep going, aside from the teenage fanbase even the storyboard cut every corner
