    The cutaway became more of a cue to laugh than an effective method of joke telling. Even if it made no sense or had no context, some people would laugh because they were trained or expected to. I remember laughing at some as a kid and having no idea what they were talking about.

      @anthonyc2072 2 роки тому +365

      100% spot on assessment.
      That's why for example let's just say... The Office, right? You have to watch the show for the most part to understand any particular scene or the context of why the particular scene is funny, almost like an inside joke.
      I made the mistake of trying to show my dad, who's never seen The Office a compilation of Michael Scott being mean to Toby scenes, and he didn't think any of them were funny and stopped watching halfway through the video. Then I realized, it's because he doesn't understand the context of the characters and how their relationships and personalities play a huge role.
      South Park can be the same way, someone could look at this scene and think "Who is that fat kid and why does he even care to begin with?"
      Not knowing that Eric Cartman is a lowkey diabolical super villain, that will stop at nothing to get a point across or get what he wants.
      TL;DR context is everything.

    It's weird because I honestly think the cutaway gags were pretty funny back around the time when this South Park episode was made. The punchlines usually made sense if you actually got the references they were making. Definitely no rhyme or reason to how they were segued into but that was always Family Guy's style and it was something that made the show unique in a way.
    But it's like the Family Guy writers embraced the parody whole-heartedly, because not long after this episode came around, it really did start to feel like they just formed entire cutaways using a rudimentary algorithm with no consideration for an actual punchline. They also started self-parodying themselves and lampshading the weakness of their own style of humor a lot more (which is cute the first time you do it but stops being funny incredibly quickly). Nowadays, the cutaways make almost no sense and come off as the writers saying "This is your scheduled cue to laugh" as opposed to any genuine attempt at humor.
    At least how I see it, Family Guy was always meant to be a show with weak narrative elements that mostly served as a loose vessel for delivering one-off jokes. But as they ran out of jokes, it kind of transformed into a show that's just a weak narrative with obligatory cutaways that are only really there because the audience expects them to be there (and they help to kill as much of a 22-minute runtime as possible).
    I mean basically, I didn't really have a problem with this style of comedy so long as it managed to be funny, which I think it mostly succeeded in back when this satire was made. It stopped being funny, so now it's just a really annoying way to pad out a poorly-written narrative. The show actually became MORE like how South Park depicted it as being.

      I do think that people are taking cheap shots at a big show. I think the south park guys do have their heads up their own asses most of the time and that does add alot to their comedy. It seems like a form of comedy gatekeeping to say "oh these guys have a formula so it must not be funny" and its pretty regressive. Family guy did and still does have some bangers that can actually make me laugh out loud at times and south park has had some serious valleys in their content as well. Yeah the cutaways are gimicky but south park did a totally vile episode solely about swimming in piss in a water park, the only joke the whole episode. It just seems like people focus more on 'the process' than the actual jokes and if you look at all of the series, not just family guy, I think you see more depth in what Seth Mcfarlane does in his work than most of what Trey and Matt have ever really done. Oh the wrote a musical with the same Mormon jokes they've been doing for almost 3 decades? How precious, I'm sure all the fedora tippers are right about them being the peak of comedy.

The villains were using as a cover a publishing company that kept churning out all kinds of short novels, which were very popular until the arrival of the Internet, and they worked under the same principle. They had a database of random subjects, verbs, nouns, etc, in cards and they took cards at random and fed a computer with them and the computer came out with the plot for a novel putting all those things together in a logical way.

      Family Guy is more dark style humor and flashbacks, but still better. South Park fell off to me a long long time ago, and while family guy might not be as funny as it used to be... I prefer it over the whole nastiness that South Park uses as their general theme.

    In the 1990s, there was a game called Gex, and all of its jokes boiled down to stuff like "this is like X at Y's house" or bad impressions of celebrities.
    Then Family Guy ran for over 20 years and decided its jokes should be even worse versions of that.

      If you really know him, -- tell him that Family Guy is easily one of the funniest shows in the history of television, and this was definitely *NOT* an accurate portrayal of it. Millions of viewers agree. (Granted some seasons are better than others.)
