But something feels fundamentally wrong about the argument this episode is making. No, we didn’t need a Charlie Brown-Esque speech to tie everything together. This episode dangles the “high-road,” an actual message in front of you, and then farts all over it. Yes, even for an adult satire show like “Family Guy” it’s too cynical. But at the risk of sounding like a hypocrite, I think it’s because the ending feels too cynical. The family then resorts back to “shut-up Megs” and fart in her face. So she admits that although she is technically right, she’ll say she’s wrong. Then, Meg realizes her family needs someone to rack on or they can’t survive.

Each Griffin realizes she’s right and doesn’t know how to cope with it. Meg exposes everyone in her family as being vain, self-absorbed assholes that only bully her because they’re all deeply upset with their own lives. But where this episode sucks is in its ending. The cast of “Family Guy” delivers a hilarious yet heart-wrenching performance. Brian gets high on shrooms, Stewie baby-sits him, and Meg finally opens up about being the butt of everyone’s jokes. The Griffins are stuck inside due to a hurricane. IMDB Ratingĥ.6/10 1.Seahorse Seashell Party (Season 10, Episode 2) Its the stranger who’s talking loudly on their phone in a library. This episode is the equivalent of sitting on an airplane with a crying toddler behind you. There are no characters on “Family Guy.” Just evil, greed, lust, and dogshit. This episode was another example of how one of our favorite cartoon dads has become a deviant sociopath with no redemptive attributes at all. He made mistakes but had redemptive qualities that made him relatable. Much like Homer from “The Simpsons,” Peter Griffin started out as the everyman dad. But my real issue is to see how devolved the characters have become. A dad who wants to marry his son is strange, disturbing, and likely will offend plenty of people. But they were pissed for the wrong reasons, again. As you might expect, people were pissed, again. In “Fresh Heir” Peter wants to marry his son to inherit his father-in-law’s fortune. Actually, that’s giving it too much credit. If “Stewie is Enceinte” is low-brow, “Fresh Heir” is some hillbilly redneck shit. Sometimes it feels like the creator doesn’t even need the cast of “Family Guy.” But this episode felt mundane and unfulfilling by the end. It’s incredible to see the chemistry Macfarlane can display between Stewie and Brian on their adventures (both characters he voices). The jokes fall flat left and right, and it’s a prime example of how the cut-away formula can get so tiresome that a single episode can overuse it. However, this episode does feature some of the laziest writing throughout the show’s history. But this is “Family Guy,” a cartoon, so we’re not sure what they expected. Road to India (Season 14, Episode 20)Ĭritics like to tear this episode apart for its racism and stereotyping of Indians. But this episode felt so low-brow that it was embarrassing. Some may argue that shock humor is what built “Family Guy” up in the first place. The baby impregnates himself with Brian’s DNA. In order to save the relationship, Stewie results in drastic measures. The episode features a falling out between BFFs Stewie and Brian. But then this episode assassinated any hope that was left. It came out at that critical point in the later seasons when some were holding on for the show to regain some semblance of quality. “Stewie is Enceinte” pissed a lot of people off. Stewie Is Enceinte (Season 13, Episode 12) Besides, who didn’t think Brian would come back eventually.īut I digress, so let’s jump into this. Its low-bearing fruit and Tony Sirico being added to the cast of “Family Guy” made for a pleasant few episodes. Surprise surprise, many of which come from the later seasons of the show.īefore we get started, we’re going to leave “ Life of Brian” out of this. Today, we’re going to rank the 5 worst episodes the show has put out. Either that or the show’s creator doesn’t have anything smart or funny left to say. Now, it seems like Macfarlane is deliberately tanking the show to see just how bad it can get. But even their performances have become lazy and parodical. Additionally, the cast of “Family Guy” is one of the best in television history. Yes, it’s always been a hodgepodge of jokes and random cut-aways, but at its core, the show remained funny. Seth Macfarlane’s “Family Guy” has fallen hard.
