>Family Guy season 1 episode >guy gets riddled with bullets

Television in general became edgier and Family Guy followed.

Because they let them. They weren't holding back, they were held back.

Later seasons had a much higher budget, allowing for more detail.

>>92833860
For Family Guy, I always thought Nu-Family Guy as a Rocko's Modern Life/Wacky Deli situtation. Seth made is his more gross, violent, and sexual hoping that Fox will take it off the air so he can move on to other things. But Fox loves it and demands more.

>make a baby and a dog have kids to get off air
>Fox still renews it

>>92833860
Because that scene was funny. Ripping a whale to shreds with all the blood and guts included is just shock value

>>92833860

This scene was depicting the comedy in how many bullets the guy could take, stumbling down the street the whole time like some comedic dance, screaming the whole time. It's funny because of how drawn out the scene is, along with how he just keeps moving with the car the entire shot. It's violent, but absurd.

Nu-Family guy would have just had him get shot, a bunch of goons walking up to his gasping collapsed form, then just kept shooting at him with deadpan expressions until he was a pile of red goo, with a huge amount of graphic detail forced in.

kinda answered your own question there
most people who do too much of something do so because someone told them they werent allowed to do any

I'm waiting for the episode where peter rapes a child, akin similar to how peter got raped by a bull.

>>92833860
When it got dark it had huge ratings even if the show us bad now it still gets in the millions of ratings

>>92838321
'' How old is that girl''
'Peter shuts is laptop, drives out to the middle of the ocean and dumps his laptop into the deep below'

>>92840335
That's just looking at child porn. I'm waiting for peter to actually rape a child.

>>92841092
>"Peetah, couldn't you tell she was a child?"
>"Oh c'mon Lois, she was just asking for it by wearing her Hello Kitty backpack.
>"For god sake Peetah, you'd better hope she's not old enough to get pregnant!"
>"So what, she'll get an abortion!"
>"But that's not God's will, Peetah, you'll have to raise that child!"
>[Brian rant about abortion]
> Well either way, Peetah, you've still raped a child! [Slow pan in as Lois raised one arm, closes her eyes slightly] How could you do this to us, I thought we knew you...
>It's not proven yet Lois, I've got to go to court, I promise it's not what it seems.
>For your sake, I hope so Peetah...
>Well, this is a jam! Let's hope I can get a good lawyer to sort this out
>[cue ancient fucking joke about Michael Jackson or something]

On a related note I've been watching a lot of American Dad lately and you guys are complete hypocrites about the "gore" and violence in that.
They even literally had a rotting whale carcass like FG except shown with a lot more detail. And then there's that episode where Principal Lewis' prison wife keeps shanking people.

Oh God I'm getting deja vu, I can sense this argument will be lame and annoying.

>>92834243
Seth doesn't do shit, he has written 3 episodes in total.

>>92841500
American Dad has no cut-a-ways... so it's more tolerable.

I'm just gonna leave this here

>>92833860
The first season was genuinely funny, but now it seems like the show just thrives on being nothing but offensive imagry and dialogue. The characters have all become unlikable parodies of themselves. It's just pathetic really. If I had a kid I would do everything in my power to keep this show away from them.

The point where Peter lost his eyebrows was the point that the show was starting to go to shit anytime soon

>>92841500
Because American Dad is objectively better.

>>92833860
I don't get it either. It seems like almost every single adult comedy cartoon has become progressively gorier and bloodier. I don't understand what's supposed to be funny or amusing about that shit.

That's fine but let's not pretend Family Guy's issues are with shock humor when you like AD.

>>92833860
To cause massive butt hurt in people like you who then go and whine online and get called a faggot by people like me

>>92841500
American Dad has more likable characters though and a moral at the end of every ep

Easy to see why it's at least the more respectable show of the two

>>92843033
Look I like American Dad but this is the worst argument. Likable characters and morals are pretty much completely unrelated to quality.

>>92841500
I'd say a big part of it is that while both often use shock humor, AD builds off what they present. Like, in the this scene, Stan actually has a reason to show Brett that rotting whale, and when they use it for a joke, it's a quick ridiculous joke that fits Stan's almost naive character. The same thing sorta validates Lewis' prison bitch because it's part of the episode's plot and the humor they try to make is built off of it. It's not as much that AD doesn't use non-sequitors and shock humor, but what they do is all within consistency for the characters and the show. Any crass shite that happens in AD is a prop, while in FG, it's the entire "joke."

>>92843592
>in FG, it's the entire "joke."
Not always. The infamous Stevie/Brian babies had jokes beyond just the shock value of the creepy half-species offspring.

Good point in general though.
