![]() Jjs: Take a good hard look at the motherfucking boat! Have I missed something during all my times watching this particular episode? I decided to come on board and help riff this one to see if this really is infamous enough to warrant being among some of the worst this show has to offer.Įpisode opens with the Griffin family, Joe and Bonnie on a boat.] I was like, “Lethal Weapons? Really?” This was always one of my favorites of the OG 3 seasons and I honestly never heard anything bad said about it. I won’t deny that this show definitely has its stinkers, and the the episodes I saw in consideration for these riffs were the usual suspects as I expected, but the one we’re riffing here first definitely caught my attention. Long story short, I loved this show as a kid, would quote and talk about it a lot with friends in elementary, I got all three original seasons AND the Freakin’ Sweet Collection on dvd when I was like 11/12 because I loved the show so much, the show comes back on the air no doubt thanks to my purchases, I loved the newer episodes enough to get the next two season sets, I got Stewie Griffin: The Untold Story for my PSP thinking “holy crap Lois, it’s the freakin’ Family Guy movie! You know how much I wanted one of those!”, I even got some of the figures and whatnot from Suncoast back in the day (still regret not getting the Peter vs Giant Chicken double pack, fuck), the show kinda lost me somewhere between 2008-2009, I came back in 2011 because And Then There Were Fewer and Back to the Pilot were both that damn good, and I’ve more or less kept up with the show since then.ĭo I still love the show as much as I used to? Of course not, but it still makes a good time waster whenever I have nothing better to watch and it still gets its laughs out of me, even in the modern day. OMJ: *barges out of closet and points at you angrily* Well that’s the best I could come up with. ![]() I know our NC riffs could drag at times for some, so these transcripts won't be as detailed, plus every episode is guaranteed only 22 minutes. Admittedly this specific episode may be a strange choice, but we were low on options for this spot, oops. As many fond memories as I have with the classic era episodes, those are not perfect by any means either and have several elements that haven’t aged well as you’ll see with this episode chosen. ![]() It’s only fair we start from the beginning, so we’ll be kicking this off with a Season 3 episode from the classic era to show where some of the eventual problems began. Or if we add nothing new to the conversations, then at least hopefully you'll get a few cheap laughs. How exactly did we go from the early days to the fascinating trainwreck it is today? There’s a lot of reasons everyone’s said by now, but perhaps this trip through time will shed new light on why the show has the issues it does today. Much like with Nostalgia Critic, I want to paint a line that shows the decline over time and show what exactly went wrong. But, we’re a daring community, so I decided to take the challenge, even if I look like a sellout hack who is low on ideas. Now I know what you’re thinking: so much of Family Guy essentially riffs itself, so can we really add any new perspectives you haven’t heard before? You’re not wrong to question the point of this. But that’s another conversation entirely. I’m so tired of adult animated shows running on indefinitely and refusing to stay in the grave. (I see what you’re doing, trying to drag me back in Well, I ain’t buyin’!) Mad respect to anyone who has bothered to keep up with it weekly, and I have heard it’s had a few occasional rebounds in quality, but I have no real desire to see what I’ve missed at this point. Most knowledge I have of modern episodes comes from secondhand or a few out of context YouTube clips that get recommended to me once in a blue moon. There’s a few scant newer episodes I’ve seen since, but otherwise my days of following this show’s batshit antics are long done. Around Season 12 though, I finally had enough and dipped because good lord, what an awful season that was. I would religiously watch it every Sunday night with the rest of that Animation Domination block. I used to be a big fan of Family Guy ever since I was a young lad. A good amount of members here used to watch it and it’s spawned tons of memes in the community, mainly used to mock it nowadays. Family Guy, much like Nostalgia Critic, is a show of somewhat importance to SBC lore. ![]() Jjs: Hehehe look Lois, we’re riffing Family Guy now! I’m long past the stage of yelling over cartoons and I moved on from Family Man years ago…but damn, when Clappy suggested this idea, I could not resist.
