New York Rhode Island Massachusetts That entire New England Coast is sitting on what is the most dangerous Earthquake Faults in the planet. Its called the Ramapo Fault Line. Yes, it's true. Earthquakes do occur on a regular basis in New England. Notable examples of earthquakes that caused damage in New England and adjacent areas are: the earthquake off the coast of Cape Ann, MA in 1755; two earthquakes near Ossipee, NH in 1940; and an earthquake near New York City in 1884 Damaging earthquakes have occurred in nearly every eastern state, including New York. The largest were magnitude 5.2 earthquakes that occurred in 1737 and 1884. NEW YORK - Earthquakes are a natural disaster of the West Coast but they're a threat to the East Coast as well. It may not be that surprising that the Appalachian Range is not as 🌋 active as , the Cascade Range or the San Andrea Fault. But the New England Side quite active. So, maybe the writers of Family Guy have some kind of Crystal Ball that is foretelling the future that something volcanic will happen ; and it needs to be taken seriously

I had this happen to me in California when I was 17 looking for affordable car insurance. I went in to an insurance office in a strip mall and it looked completely legitimate. They made up a fake car insurance contract and everything. They said it was through “Bristol West insurance.” They even had a phone service for it or someone in their office pretending to be an insurance agent. A couple of months down the road, the place was GONE but the signage was still up. I got my down payment and monthly dues back after 2 years. They got arrested and sued. Lesson learned the hard way…
I kinda lost interest in Family Guy somewhere before the 10th season. It seemed to go to shit a lot quicker than The Simpsons or South Park. Shame cos it had good potential.

One thing I like about Peter is he said no immediately when the salesman suggested taking Lois’s jar of money, modern day family guy would just make Peter give it without hesitation and probably even sell Meg to someone for the extra cash
@@Robbie_Haruna right? At least before Peter actually gave a damn about Meg instead of shooting her the second she says hi. Modern family guy is good, but older family guy was a gem, actual funny jokes that land instead of gore and way too long filler cutaways

It depends, especially for companies who need to outsource their risks to someone else, especially the one with the capacity to provide service to minimize the risk for that company.

@@dildeep96 Yes it could. “Golden age Simpsons” is put on a pedestal by people to make them feel cultured but even some of the consensus best episodes like Marge vs. Monorail was never as laugh out loud hilarious as Family Guy.

I think my favorite part of this is how Peter agrees they're overdue for a volcano but doesn't realize they'd also be overdue for rain.
He doesn't understand that a rainy day fund isn't for literal rain though.

True the writing was great.
Peter's a complete and utter idiot but he's not stupid. Or at least he wasn't in the first few seasons.
Y'know he says "touche"; a fancy way to say "that's applicable to what you have said as well"
Well, the joke about it not raining in Rhode Island was more about how Rhode Island is an infamously rainy and dreary place. Kinda like Britain.
