Family Guy
Family Guy: Stewie Griffin There is a show which pushed boundaries that started in 1999. This show was sometimes accused of copying of The Simpsons. This is a show which was cancelled by the Fox station and came back on because of the high sales of the DVD 's. The show that I am mentioning in this intro is Family Guy. The Griffin family are the main characters in this show. This is no ordinary family. This is an outrageous family that does things that could not happen in real life. It consists of six characters which are Peter Griffin, Lois Griffin, Chris Griffin, Meg Griffin, Brian Griffin, and Stewie Griffin. They all play their different roles in the Family Guy series. Peter Griffin is the head of the Griffin household. Peter is overweight and he is the fattest person in the show. He also drinks a lot and easily gets into accidents. Peter is consistently depicted as crude. He loves watching television and his IQ is lower than mentally retarded. Even though Peter is the head of the household, he is not the one that keeps everything together.

Lois Griffin, the wife, is the one who keeps everything together. She was born into the wealthy family. Before she was a Griffin, she was a Pewterschmidts Her family was rich, so she was always associated with rich people. She fell in love with Peter because he was a towel boy and he was different from all the snobbish rich people. Chris Griffin is one of the three children of the Griffins and like his father, he is also fat. He is not very smart, either. He is haunted by an "Evil Monkey" which lives in his closet. The Evil Monkey comes out of his closet and points at him. Chris is the only one that gets haunted by the Evil Monkey, though. Meg Griffin is the one daughter in the Griffin family. She is the child that gets ignored. No one pays attention to her and the few times that they do pay attention to her it is because they are making fun of her. Brian Griffin is the dog of the family. Usually a dog

    Satire is the use of humor, irony, exaggeration, or ridicule to expose and criticize people 's stupidity or vices, particularly in the context of contemporary politics and other topical issues. “Family Guy” portrays carnivalesque imagery such as those seen in “South Park” and “The Simpsons.” The author Peacocke is a fan of “Family Guy” but she says, “It’s important not to lose sight of what’s truly unfunny in real life-even as we appreciate what is hilarious in fiction (308).” Peacocke liked “Family Guy” at first when she realized that the jokes were taking things too far she started to dislike it then liked it again. She felt some people was going overboard and not looking at it to be funny. The show is based…

    Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, and when it comes to the television series, Family Guy, everyone does. A person either loves the series or absolutely hates it. Antonia Peacocke voiced her opinion on the hit series in her article, Family Guy and Freud: Jokes and Their Relation to the Unconscious. At first she was just another addition to the other Family Guy haters, but she eventually came around and saw the humor after the hard to swallow punch lines. “Family Guy does not aim to hurt… creators take certain measures to keep it from hitting too hard.” Peacock says (307). What the creators are reenacting in the shows are not exactly, socially acceptable. However, that’s what draws its viewers, its cutting edge take on society’s problems and differences. The fact is, what is being said in the series is not a lie, maybe more bias due to the point of view, but it’s based off the truth. The reason people find the show so funny is because it may have happened to them or a friend. One may be offend by Family Guys risky takes on sensitive subjects, but it is the truth and the truth hurts sometimes.…

    Family Guy Satire

    • 4 Pages

    These shows are both extremely controversial in the situations portrayed on the television screen. Both shows use the monotonous aspects of small-town life as perfect settings for bizarre happenings. South Park is a collection of rednecks and yuppies, sociopaths and stereotypes. However, it is the group of children that carry the show through its humorous and sarcastic humor. Family Guy similarly live in the small town of Quahog, Rhode Island with a group of unusual people with eccentric cameo appearances. Both South Park and Family Guy focus their plots mainly on a central character. In South Park, it is the maniac Eric Cartman, and in Family Guy it is the loutish Rhode Island father Peter Griffin. Cartman's humor comes from his ridiculous schemes, his undeniable evil, his dismissal of reasonable courses of action, and his unforgettable voice. Peter Griffin humor comes from his clumsy ways, his poorly thought out jokes, and his parody of the average…
