The new seasons have less cutaways tho. I actually enjoy that format, the jokes related to the episodes are great. But It's weird that they changed the format right when FG exploded on the internet and mostly because of the short funny cutaways.
@jumentoqueanima why? it just creates shots of pre existing locations with little to no visual interest. I swear they’ll sit in the same spot for 5 mins and move to another. Cutaways gave the show a huge amount of space to play. Now it’s just watching a mediocre sitcom. When Family Guy is meant to be a parody of that. Im glad you like it tho. Just wish I could.
@brandonhaygood5286 which is funny because lots of people say american dad is like family guy now. I think theyve both just become shittier and more generic versions of what they used to be
The fact that Family guy went from a stereotypical animated sitcom to an edgy 14 year old’s paradise to milktoast corporate slop is incredibly depressing and amusing at the same time.
"What happened to Angela?" "She died" Yea they just dont give a damn anymore, It's what everyone says but then they make rhat a recurring joke after they did an entire opening dedicating to Carrie Fischer/Angela's passing it just genuinely feels like the new writers do scenes specifically to be youtube/tiktok clipped
You know my elder sister said that whenever she does chores in her apartment she puts on Family Guy as sort of background noise. I can’t help but think maybe that second screen approach has seeped into the show, considering how empty and slow the episode is that you really don’t have to pay attention to it.
I just put it on when I’m going to sleep now. Used to love the show, now when I’ve actually tried to watch it I’m literally rolling my eyes and getting annoyed at the attempted jokes.
Not to mention those Simpsons and Disney shorts on Disney+. It’s simply Disney characters meeting with the Simpsons family going “Wow look at that Disney trope, isn’t that stupid?” Please laugh audience, aren’t we cool for breaking the fourth wall and pointing out the fact we made fun of a trope popularized by Disney?”
That Mother’s Day special was unfashionably awful. They didn’t even try to make the Disney characters look like they belonged in the Simpsons, they just looked like Microsoft Paint edits.
I really love the Christmas episode where Lois just looses her shit . It really made me appreciate my own parents and the effort they went through to pull off Christmas on a very low income .
Family Guy's draw was that it didn't shy away from the edgy jokes that The Simpsons wouldn't tell. But now that sensibilities have changed, it's just diet Simpsons. There's nothing to set it apart.
Heck, the Simpsons has actually tried to move away from the rut it’s in with more experimental episodes now. I’d say Family Guy is the equivalent of Phineas and Ferb, where it was once really novel and unique, got popular out of nowhere, and then slowly kind of limped along and died - internally, but no one wants to *really* let it die in peace so they keep reviving it over and over hoping that it gets popular again.
@@eatatjoe thing is Phineas and Ferb got popular bc of Highschool Musical and how it was strategically placed right after the second movies premiere ended so it didn't really come from nowhere, plus it knew when to end and were just contracted to do there last season so they made experimental specials every so often in that last season so they could have fun before the show ended since they were forced to make it regardless. Family Guy's just gone far past its prime that its essentially lost its fanbase and most people just hate it, I'd say its fate is more emblematic of Fairly Odd Parents
Probably doing there own shit while he’s in his room it’s easier to hide these things from parents then you think my mom most of the time is on the first floor and I’m on the third
Every modern family guy episode is -One legitimately funny joke -the characters discussing how lazy the show has gotten -A joke about how disabled people are a burden on everyone around them and should just die that’s both somehow over the top and also clearly grounded in a genuine seething hatred - people telling Brian he’s stupid and pretentious - The writers patting themselves on the back for having bog standard Twitter fence sitter opinions
@@kylecianciulli8842TTG is unironically more funnier than Modern Family Guy cause at least TTG has enough dumb humor to keep you engaged with it Family Guy doesn’t even try and just makes stuff that’s made to be TikTok clipped.
It's like they surgically removed all the heart and soul from Family Guy. It's rare for me to even crack a smile while watching any of the newer episodes.
Wow. Uhh, what a coincidence, UA-cam showed me this right under Spilling The Milk's reaction video with its title claiming that this special is very funny. I'm not kidding.
6:50 Okay hold on. I watched this special on Hulu and actually thought it was already, but I do NOT remember this happening AT ALL??? I thought it just ended with the zoom out of the house with Meg playing fetch with Brian???
Just like the recent Halloween one, this didn't even feel like Christmas "Special." It looked like just another average Family Guy Episode that they called to promote it being released exclusively on Hulu.
First 10 seasons: “Remember when”….*cutback* Stewie has a diabolical plan to kill…(name here) Last 10-15 seasons: Brian’s back. Meg still sucks and Quagmire isn’t as perverted. And Stewie is….basically a smart manipulative toddler.
Quagmire is still perverted but they tone it way down given that they made jokes about him sexually harassing women and forcing himself onto women. They give him i think two backstories why he does it which doesn't excuse his behavior regardless.
I mean all you have to do is look at the animation to know this. Simpsons with it's animation is always growing, trying something new, it literally is getting smoother all the time and looks pretty damn beautiful. Family Guy meanwhile, well, could you even tell a difference between any modern Family Guy series? I've always hated this style, it feels like they have a couple poses the characters slip into and out of every now and then, and only a few facial expressions to go around, it's so lazy
The reason why the Halloween and Christmas specials weren’t that impressive is because they’re recycled episodes from last season that didn’t air because of the writer strike
This was the first new Family Guy episode I've watched in years, I was just so bored during the whole thing. It wasn't even laughably bad, it was just nothing at all.
I know this isn’t a ranking video, but please, PLEASE do “Every Episode of Adventure Time Ranked”. It’s such a good show that starts off as a slapstick episodic comedy, but over the course of 10 seasons, develops into an emotionally mature, serialized show that tackles some really hard subjects in a pretty serious way, without losing the fun charm that made it so good in the first place.
@@patricklauer4452 even worse when they have to de-age peter to make him the millenial of the family for certain stories, age-up stewie where he isnt used for baby and or evil genius stories. it just ruins the characters. its not easy to write a show that has gone of for 20+ years tho.
You can tell the writers thought the Jeff Goldblum impersonation was super hilarious, they used it twice in the first 5 minutes, and both times it wasn't very funny.
Also, from what I remember hearing and reading is that McFarlen only does the voices for the characters without reading the script. Because he is no longer really associated with the new team. Just does the voices and gets paid and goes off to work on other stuff. Big reason as to why the magic and writing is just lukewarm.
5:35 I don’t think they don’t have any potential ideas. American dad still does decent Christmas episodes. Although they have a long running story so it’s easier
Family guy is like a dying loved one on life support, you don’t want them to die, but they’ve been long past they’re prime and you know they’ll never be as good as they once where.
I think what would have made this and The Halloween special more better is that instead of just regular episodes make them 1 Hour specials like Then there were fewer or the Star Wars specials,at least then it would stand out from being just regular episodes that are exclusive to Hulu
@ no that’s a voice crack. That’s exactly what a voice crack is. We didn’t call it a voice fracture or voice total structural failure. No just a little crack
I remember the song from Road to the North Pole the most. It's so haunting. It randomly got stuck in my head a few days ago. I haven't watched it since it aired so that's saying something.
God, the idea that a Family guy movie could exist sounds so strange to me. What will it be about? How is it gonna Look like? Will it be animated?....As in not like "Will it not be live action" i mean like, will it actually be animated and not stiff and robotic like the show. I HAVE SO MUCH QUESTIONS.

Everyone knows the true metric of a Family Guy episode's quality is how many clips from it end up in "Family Guy Funny Moments" compilations.
The new seasons have less cutaways tho. I actually enjoy that format, the jokes related to the episodes are great. But It's weird that they changed the format right when FG exploded on the internet and mostly because of the short funny cutaways.
@jumentoqueanima why? it just creates shots of pre existing locations with little to no visual interest. I swear they’ll sit in the same spot for 5 mins and move to another.
