- Family Guy has gone down in quality over the years and has lost millions of viewers. What exactly is the reason for this and why does Fox refuse to let the show end?

Family Guy/Simpsons Parody by ukinojoe
• The Family Simp (Real) - Zábava
I made a mistake in the video. There are 16 seasons of Family Guy, not 18. I honestly don’t know where that number came from. Maybe cause I watch too many series at the same time and was confused. My bad people
Saberspark its all good
Saberspark yeah phantom strider already hates this show since 2010
Saberspark lol
We Gucci
"Peter, remember the time when there were 18 seasons of Family Guy?" *Does cut-away gag.*
I kid, I kid.
Seth MacFarlane said he was tired of the show a long ass time ago. He admits its ran its course
Yo he wanted to end it in 2011 lmao
He prolly wants to kill it by tanking the ratings but fox wont let him
I think he probably puts most of his effort into American Dad
So Nobody likes Family Guy anymore, not even Seth!
He's running it down in purpose
I miss the old, evil Stewie. Also in the beginning Peter was just a happy-go-lucky dimwit whom everyone liked. Now Peter is just a selfish and often cruel jerk and outright cretin who's very off-putting.
+Egon Jensen-Peter got flushed down the crapper ever since season five, when he was diagnosed with being retarded. (Yeah, that's how the show went with it) which just meant it gave the show a free-pass for Peter to do whatever, wherever, whenever with no regard or concern to decency or human life. You can't get upset with Peter, he's just retarded. . .And things got FAR WORSE after that concerning Peter, where he casually murders people on a frequent basis, but season five was really the precipice that permanently broke him. I miss the days where Peter actually cared about being a good father. . .That he treated Meg with love and respect, even if she still was misunderstood. Peter was clueless and a bit of a dimwit but he always had a good heart and always tried to do the right thing. . .And I like how he always tried to be a good father because of how awful his father had been to him. . .(The show flushed that down too since Peter accidentally killed the man who was his adoptive father and it turns out his actual father is a drunken Irish lout, so. . .Peter gets off scott-free once again. . .) He didn't always succeed, but his heart was always in the right place. . .I also really miss the days where Stewie was a very fun, twisted little villain who only occasionally had a soft spot for maybe Brian in the family. . .Likely because while Brian did give him shit, Brian also respected him as an intelligent individual. Stewie was someone Brian recognized as evil and worthy of being considered a "frenemy." And Brian was so smart to where he was an individual Stewie at least respected for being smart and able to get somewhere close to Stewie's level. . .
No I'm ok with it , it makes him more realistic to his age but he should be more evil a little bit
@@feraflauna3238 i been saying this for 3 years but my comments go under the radar saying this stuff while people suck justin ys dick all the time for saying 2 or 3 words.
I agree. Good punctuation, btw.
Remember when brian was the voice of reason now heis a pretentious asshat
Since Family Guys creativity is dead, they've pretty much been using more extreme violence and sex jokes as a way to fill in for the actually good jokes.
Don't forget unneccesarily long "fight" scenes or blatant dragging out of scenes just to hit that mark. Oh, don't forget the generic songs
Meg fucking dies funniest shit ever
It’s Eli Roth’s Family Guy.
Its pretty funny
Jontai Michael not really
The way they ruined Brian and Peter is what really killed the show for me. Peter used to care. Yes, he may have hurt his family sometimes but it was always a genuine mistake and he felt bad. Now he's just a dumb, inconsiderate asshole who uses Meg as a punching bag.
Brian was the perfect balance for Stewie. He really cared for him and tried to lead him along the right path. He would always do what he felt was the right thing and felt like he was a real part of the family. Now he's just an egotistical, moral lacking adulterer. His chemistry with characters like Meg doesn't really exist anymore.
They also turned side characters like Joe into stereotypes. He went from being a hard working man, who never let his disability get in the way, to a depressed wheelchair user, who's entire personality consists of him feeling sorry for himself and letting his disability hold him back.
I really hate how they ruined Brian too. Any episode with Brian now, is just unbearable. He’s a sex addicted, self absorbed, self righteous, and pompous dog who thinks his high intellect and self worth is superior than others.
Yeah I remember when joe first came on the show Peter was jealous of him. Joe was charismatic and positive. Now he’s a wimp who watched Bonnie get banged by another man
I just wish Brian had been allowed to remain intelligent.
Sucks
Or at least stay dead
Yeah, like that one episode when he wasn't liberal
Brian went full dusche
Nothing more intelligent than being an annoying stereotype.
Remember when Joe was actually a really cool character who wasn't treated like a lesser person because of his disability? In fact he was really good at his job, fitter and had a much better family dynamic than Peter
I miss this joe
Remember when he shot his steak because he couldn't finish it and the guys called him a weakling that's what i miss
When was the last time we even heard that amazingly funny screaming from him?? He went from being a badass cop who didn't let his disability deter him in the slightest to a suicidal, defeated sack, who is the butt of his friends' jokes.
@@matadeverdoemden yeah, somewhere along the lines the lost the fact that he was a joke because his life and career were comically better than his able bodied friend Peter.
It used to be the contrast that was funny but now it's supposed to be that he's sad he can't walk? Wtf family guy?
Yeah I miss when the show was more wholesome actually haha
@@matadeverdoemden Not just the characters, but he's also the butt of some 4th wall breaking jokes, like when Peter asked the animators to be drawn with X-men designs, and Joe was made into Professor X because he was in a wheelchair.
The decline of Family Guy was literally that of The Simpson’s but twice as fast.
@M J Grasscutter you know what he fucking meant
@M J Grasscutter bruh, the same as in it's decline was due to the same issues, but it happened way faster
I thought the Simpsons was made for kids
@@JoseOrtiz-yn7zh Bit old, but I'd say your way off. Family Guy is more 'kid' orientated than the Simpsons honestly...
The Simpsons is more PG sure, but a lot of its early jokes (when it was good) were targeted more so at adults than children, and were pretty intelligently made. This is also reflected in the more character orientated comedy within the series. Still had a lot of jokes for kids, but it had a lot of depth too.
In contrast, Family Guy was and is primarily focused on a younger audience. Its largest audience is probably in the younger teens demographic, extending a bit before and after that. The fact that content isn't kid friendly doesn't stop it from being watched by kids, I've seen far more people under the age of 10 wearing Family Guy merch and talking about and referencing the show than those over the age of twenty, and the humour is pretty obvious, upfront and the opposite of intelligent I guess.
(Also it literally has nothing to do with the similarities in rate of decline)
Well ofc, Seth wanted to end family guy after season 7, but Fox was like "hell no", so he flanderized it.
Lois and Peter's "interaction" with eachother is really just sad and irritating. The way peter cuts Lois down about her age and the way Lois forces peter and her family to comply with her needs. And ONLY her needs.
Noah Rylander it’s so annoying Lois always wants everything to go her way and Peter is an absolute jerk
Gabriel Uwalaka not gonna lie Lois barely shows emotion now, I liked when she actually did something
It’s supposed to be silly
That only happens in Modern Family Guy moron
@@tizyman7120 pretty sure that's what he meant, settle down
This is why I’m glad Futurama ended instead of it dying off
Same
Futurama was lit
Rip futurama
And the finale was actually pretty satisfying to watch.
You can watch the re-runs over and over again and still feel completely satisfied that they are enough.
I miss Futurama but at least they knew when it was time to end it
There is only one side character that was always good.
Adam West.
Samuel Solomon
“No one messes with Adam We.” -Adam West
😢 RIP
RIP A.W
Samuel Solomon ya but Adam West himself is dead now so we won't see em anymore
Pumpkinbros I know. And the show won't be the same again.
You know what would be funny, if Seth MacFarlane just said "fuck it, I'm gonna expose Fox in an episode" and make a whole episode about how Fox is just forcing the shit to make money and they don't actually give a fuck about Seth or the cast, that would be fucking GREAT.
*TIME TO GET POLITICAL*
Actually, it was Seth who wanted to end family guy.
Would that be allowed to air
Fox wouldn’t care. No matter how many times Family Guy has desperately asked to get its plug pulled, Fox won’t give up.
Theyve made jabs at fox before. Seth doesnt write anymore though, he knows the show is dead
It's so weird that Bonnie went from a loving supporting wife to wanting to cheat and kill Joe
fr
Sad!!
I just think it’s hilarious lmao
When the animation got better the show got worse
That's the worst part about it. Season 9 was not only when they updated to Flash, but also when the story lost it's substance. There's unfortunately no "sweet spot", combining the show's good animation with good writing. The only acceptions are a few short times when Family Guy characters appeared on The Cleveland Show.
Huey X Quit stealing my identity fool.
The animation got better? I guess the special effects and coloring did, but I noticed the angles and body language are even flatter than before.
Yeah, never watched any episode, but from this video alone newer episodes look worse and flatter.
The animation is better? The coloring and effects are better but looking at how the show moves, it is very lazy and robotic. The older episodes looked worse but the animation was smoother.
Family Guy should have ended when Brian “died”
It should have ended back in like 2007, I have no idea how people are still watching, it's unbearable at this point.
I think that Brian and Stewie multiverse episode should have been the finale of Family Guy back in 2009.
I think it should have ended after when Diane died not season 6.
They would end if Mickey thanos stole Fox
1999: a lovely family
2019: unfriendships each other
Can we just take a moment to realize how painful it must have been for Lois to give birth to Stewie?
Stewie said he just walked right out 😂 because of Chris.
@@xoJaee there is photo of Chris after he was born lol
@@qq-qz9zh Oh yeeah that's right!
Can we all agree that lois shouldnt be able to breath
@@gubadagoober LMAO 😂
You know the one thing I noticed about Family Guy is that in the earliest seasons the family was more genuine and positive. Like the treatment of Meg wasnt anywhere as bizarre or cruel as the more modern seasons. There used to be a sense of real family values.
Yes. But now the Family Guy characters have devolved into degenerates.
The biggest changes I’ve seen in any of the characters are Lois and Joe. Lois used to be nice and caring but now she’s just a tired housewife who just hates everything in her life. Joe used to be proud of his handicap but now Family just made him out to be pitiful and sad in every way
tunasub well if you were pregnant for about 10 years you would be hate everything too. Lol I’m happy she finally had that baby though
@@Lostinmyhead23 Dude, you're confusing Lois with Bonnie.
tunasub gotta completely disagree with you on Lois there. I find early season Lois completely intolerable from a comedic standpoint. All that goody gumdrop upstanding housewife crap was so cringeworthy to me, and she became more tired and miserable I think it humanized the character and gave her more depth. I know, unpopular opinion

Futurama knew when to stop
Unlike literally every other adult cartoon
Hello brother
@@yes-wo7qn I thought that was your mother
Bojack Horseman too
It certainly did and given the choice, I would watch Futurama over Simpsons any day. South Park is still quality in my opinion while Family Guy gets worse all the time. American Dad is an all round better series from Seth MacFarlane.
@@bencarroll6885 South Park is like LeBron James its old and out of its prime but it’s still a good quality show
The thing family guy does that actualy annoys me is when they go out and explain a joke,thats just breaking a golden comedy rule:
If your going to explain a joke,then there is no joke
Fascinating
Amazin'
That is the joke though
Stewart Lee (British comedian if you don't know) often explains jokes, and it's really funny. The difference is that Family Guy isn't nearly clever enough to do ot well.
Oh my God, and I thought I was the only one who hates that!! When a show does that, it just ruins things for me.
Family guy was already ruined when meg became the punching bag
So from season 1, episode 1...
southpakrules n- n- NO
She was always the punching bag
LandDot n- n- NO for the 1st season she wasn’t the punching bag of the show so |_㋛_|
iiLxmon obviously
Let’s say you make a show and the female character gets beaten in the 1st episode
You think your show is gonna last in a world of stupid SJWs wanting “equality”. No it’s gone right there and then.
So family guy slowly adds the fact that she a punchingb bag.
But she’s always been the hate character of the family
If Family Guy does end, it won’t end with dignity.
It's too late for that, just like The Simpsons.
Well atleast it’s better way, than Seth should be voicing his characters who lost the charms for the rest of his life. I don’t know, did he was still interesting to make Family guy movie? 🤷🏻♀️
If it ever ends... they're trying so hard to be as relevant and last as long as the Simpsons
@@dragondelsur5156 nah the simpsons did bits for years, obviously its time is way up but deserves the credit and still does have the odd god new episode
Family Guy, Simpsons, SpongeBob, at this point all of them will go thought the Faily OddParents theatment, getting an unsatisfactory ending, just another regular episodie, pum, cancelled
I absolutely hated what they did with Cleveland's character. He used to be so funny, then once "The Cleveland Show" started, he had been completely flanderized and only made racial jokes. He was so much better when he talked reeeeaaaal slow
Once The Cleveland Show arrived, Cleveland just became a stereotypical black guy, i actually dislike his sons for that.
Brian became a douchebag, Lois is always cheating on her husband and leaving her family for some reason, but then comes back and says sorry and everything is back to normal...then you got what they did with Meg. It's gotten kinda rediculous
Noise
How old are you ?
When did Lois ever cheat?
Kay Lew and Stewie gay
andrewingram92 Clinton, Meg's bf, Quagmire to name a few.
RockBeauty :3 quagmire became the worst on the show
the way they treat meg is so disturbing.
They get too much joy from abusing her
It’s because they didn’t have a writer for a teenager girl
And when she defend herself apparently she took it too far or some shit like that.
Ikr Its funny lol
@@felixthefeline8037 its pure comedy:)
When Adam West was the only character on the show that was always good
M J Grasscutter The mayor is Adam west lol
You never appreciate Adam West until he’s gone. I miss that magnificent bastard.
Kaiser wilhelm 2
What about meg?)
@@IlyaNLeo um adam west is funny
Seeing the last segment with the Disney-Style animation made me remember how good the Multiverse episode actually was, in terms of switching things up and not trying to be bland
I agree. Those "Road to.." episodes breathed much needed fresh air into the show. Same with the trilogy specials ie: Stephen King stories. Even Family Guy takes on history, ancient or more recent, were pretty original. But please God..... no more Star Wars spoofs!
My fav episode!! The road to episodes are my favorite episodes of the series
The "Road to" episodes were all consistently good, even when they came out in seasons that weren't good.
Quagmire roasting Brian over his superficial personality during that steak dinner is the pinnacle of Family Guy's writing.
In which chapter?
It was. But since that fight both brian and quagmire became horrible characters
His rant reeked of hypocracy and gonorrhea and the feud only spontaneously happened to shovel more shit onto a flanderized husk's miserable existence.
What episode is that
@@TheDuffcat quagmire was already a horrible character..?
Or,a horrible person
Hes a pervert
Peter: Hee hee!
Brian: Lois, let's talk about politics
Meg: Hi Guys-
Chris: Shut up, I'm trying to (zany sex related antics)
Joe: (falls down stairs)
Bonnie: Haha!
CUT AWAY GAG
Quagmire: Giggity giggity
Boi don't leak the script for the upcoming episodes!
Cmon man, hush with the spoilers
I personally don’t think it’s that bad that Brian got political I feel they just over did it later on because I feel the show died around season 12 and the rest of the episodes were either a hit or miss after that edit: the main thing that really killed it is that it’s just stupid they ran out of ideas so they just add a lot of filler to episodes
Someone: says about the weirdly pacific action there about to do and doing said pacific action ( seriously has the writers not heard of show don’t tell )
The first four seasons are genuinely hilarious and inventive. The show is unrecognizable now sadly.
Over time family Guy, Simpsons, South Park and SpongeBob characters all become a parody of themselves.
Well South Park at least is still funny to watch. But the other ones are just annoying and made up by garbage
Natasha Hart yep. Still can't believe they're all running to this day.
Ehh South Park still has some clever writing. Obviously they tried to do story arcs with modern day events but ultimately wrote themselves into a corner. In season 20 and 21. But luckily they'll tone it down a little
@@Lipidwave - Im watching the whole garrison-is-trump- saga at the moment and for the first time in my South Park watching life, I turned it off. I was bored and confused, two things i am usually not accustomed to feeling whilst watching South Park.
@@memonson5586 it really isn't, I prefer the later seasons of family Guy over seasons 8-present of south park
I was a little under the weather when I had to record this so I apologize if it sounds different at all. I'm feeling better though! Hope you all enjoy the video ^^

An idea! whenever you need to speak of money as the culprit, might I suggest the scene from the tom and jerry movie in which the main male villain simply repeats the words. "lots, and lots of .....MONEY.."
>What exactly is the reason for this and why does Fox refuse to let the show continue?
Did you mean "refuse to let the show die"?
Thank you lol. I got my thoughts mixed up
Understandable, I'm quite sick myself (I feel worse than trash)
you have to commend Seth for that episode Wish Upon A Weinstein. He knew, and tried to bring it into the light. No one listened
I think you can trace family guy’s quality by Brain’s personality
Accurate
When the show was trying to be funny without worrying about shocking people, it was good. It went for the funny, no matter what.
Eventually the show tried to shock people without worrying about being funny. That's when it went bad.
Pretty much Jerry Springer
Yep
That's actually the absolute best assessment of Family Guy I've ever heard.
The first episodes/seasons looked kinda ugly though...
I think the show is still good nowadays!
There are obviously *some good and some bad* episodes in each season recently, but generally speaking it's still good!
Yes, the humor kinda changed along the years, and it's obviously not for everyone...
👍
Frankly I never cared for it’s humor, but that is a fair evaluation of its initial premise and it’s increasingly desperate peddling of shock value humor.
South Park solved this by creating a whole season one one story
Now that’s over
That was actually my least favorite change. It all turned into one dragged out narrative that grew old after a few episodes. Especially the politics
Harvster Flex season 17’s animation is too fluent in my opinion.
@@nilleftw 💯💯💯🙄
@Doctor Spaceman definitely one of the shows I didn't want to bore me but the whole garrison/trump thing, PC guy, cartman gf🙄
I think the downfall of family guy began when Seth lost interest in the show. It's easy to tell the artist stopped caring and family guy suffers that.
It was when seth stopped writing for family guy
seth was never funny to begin with
his humor is always about abusing women, potty humor, and shock jock
Seth Macfarlane himself has said that he wanted to stop at around season 10. He’s a good writer, but like any writer he has a limit to how long he can keep one thing going.
They are on I think season 13 or sum😂
@@eastherkanga615 nope, season 19!
Edit
I just read up: it has been renewed for season 20 and 21
The episodes suck now tbh.
Because fox wouldn’t let him.
@@Utah842 i Like your name
I used to love meg because her character showed exactly how some kids get treated by their families. It was clear how she was treated was wrong even though the characters never seemed to realise it, until the later seasons that is
Brandon Roberts it always effected her, it was just downplayed.
Going from memory so forgive me if I'm wrong. I think in the earlier seasons, it wasn't so much abuse (or at least malicious abuse), it was more that Peter couldn't connect with Meg as easily as Chris or Stewie and typically neglected her needs. It was still wrong, but it wasn't malicious or physically abusive like it is now.
What Jordan said. Meg didn't really get abuse from her family, it was just that Peter couldn't connect with her like he could his sons (you know the whole father doesn't understand daughter trope). Lois was actually pretty good to Meg in the early seasons as she offered good advice (the episode where Peter pretends to be a high school student to get rid of "doing toad") and helped bring her out of her shell a bit (the Spring Break episode lol). She was just portrayed as the awkward teenage girl who wanted to fit in and try to be popular.
depending on where your cutoff is for early vs later episodes, yes it might not have been outright abuse at first, but it was definitely poor treatment for no reason. it certainly is overt abuse now. shes is in a family where not one member is ever on her side, that alone is emotionally abusive
Yeah, the joke stopped being funny.

Ever since Seth stopped writing for the show and just did the voices the show went downhill, you can see the passion get smaller and smaller as he is asked about the show in interviews.
He never wrote often
Brian went from being my favorite character, to my least favorite.
Sarah Wilson yeah me too he get on my nerves
Ugh. I was going through my "emo, condescending, 2smart4u, eveythingsux, athiest" phase around the time Brian's character became a horrible jerk and I was so delusional I couldn't see how awful Brian was and instead thought I connected with him. Kinda like how you see teenagers now say Rick Sanchez is their idol, I guess, but more toxic maybe.
Same though I won't lie... As shitty as modern Brian is, I do tune in to see what new stupid, pompous, pretentious thing he'll do next lol
So true but to be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to. LOL Okay I'll stop but yeah, it's totally like that with characters like Brian, Ric, and even BoJack Horseman.
Decadent Gamer Fair point, it's like a love/hate situation I have with Brian. Like when the show decided to kill Brian, I cried like a bitch lol.
Easy way to spot the funniest episodes - look for thick black outlines around the drawn characters. The cruder the animation the style, the older and funnier the episode will be. Whereas the shinier and more textured the drawings, the worse it gets.
Very true. But even some cruder animated episodes have their horrible moments. For example, the whole elephant hearing domestic violence joke was incredibly mean spirited and in bad taste.
The animation might've been crude in the early years but it looks so cheap now IMO. If you compare how the characters would make gestures and move around when talking in the earlier episodes and now they just stand completely still with the same expression for the whole scene besides eye movements.
It's probably just a consequence of going from hand drawn to using computers but you can tell a lot more effort went into the animation at the start than it does now (barring some specific scenes).
@@Gamer208010 that's true, half the time the characters just hold their hand out and talk, just standing there. Just looks do cheap... but earlier seasons have more movement so the characters dont look like robors
Pretty much the same for The Simpson’s
SpongeBob and The Simpsons suffer from the same problem. Hell, a lot of modern kid cartoons too.
They don't do entertainment like they used to, it seems.
The reason Family Guy seems to not be as funny is because in the earlier seasons the jokes were quick so that you would find it funny or if you didn’t, you would just move on. But now, the jokes of present day Family Guy are long and drawn out so now if you don’t like a joke your forced to stew in it for its remainder which now is quite a long time. Also like he said in the video, the characters are just becoming awful, such as Brian who is now just a douche.
The cartooning law:
Youre either cancelled as Heroes, or live long enough to become the Bad Guys
Futurama Is a hero, they knew when to end their show
Family Guy is a ATM.
The dark knight
@@clashoclan3371 What's ATM stand for?
There's a movie called "The Bad Guys" which has a team of crooks with that as their official name.
Too much over the top shock humor is what I would blame for the current state of Family Guy. Hell, Brian literally became the new Quagmire the last couple of years. It feels like while The Simpsons writers have been getting better over the years with the seasons, ( after season 21 mind you) which is a sign of relief, Family Guy makes you sit there and grown after finishing the whole episode and make you think what am I watching?
This. I used to love family guy, but this is what turned me off from the show. The shock humor is just not funny. Shock humor only works if you use it sparsely.
This is exactly part of the contributing factor. All the sex and bodily function jokes, which are usually fine but are often taken to the extreme just for the sake of extreme "humor." I still watch Family Guy because, at this point, I feel obligated to, but I grin and bear it. This last season has been marginally better I will add, but they stopped directly airing on Hulu like 7 episodes in for unspecified reasons so I haven't been watching.
I haven’t been able to watch family guy in YEARS for this exact reason. Simpsons on the other hand I’ve been watching since I was 2. The only episode of the simpsons I didn’t care for...was the crossover with family guy. :/ everything else is pretty tame and actually still funny.
Exactly why I stopped as well. Plus, it was getting boring, and I could feel the love Seth had for the show went away. Watch his 90s interview when he first started. You can really tell how much he loved his show.
Fox is really killing him and the show.
Lowell Lucas Jr. The Simpsons has been getting better but the show is kind of boring. Still better than Family Guy though!
American dad is Seth's best work. Lesser cutaway gags and jokes that are simpler but way better than family guy's jokes.
@Kairi Ali imo Cleveland Show has tired plots that don't end up being that special, but there are jokes and situations in each episode that make me laugh very hard.
@Kairi Ali All of them are good but family guy is the best. The shows been on for years and what can they do that won't make people upset. They could just keep all the characters the same and keep the plot and jokes the same but then people will complain it's repetitive. They can change it up a bit and give characters a bit of a new personality but again people will get upset or they can just end the show but again people will get upset so what can they do.
@@tylerd4124 there is a difference between changing a character and character development
Not Jesus American dad is great
I think Family Guy was more enjoyable than American Dad in it's earlier seasons (for both), but American Dad has had a better lifespan overall as a show, it's more consistent in theme than FG. American Dad improved in episodes while Family Guy was always on the decline.
All my freinds like the newest seasons because they think the stupid, violent humour is funny. When I show them the older seasons my favourite ones which are season 1-7, they think it’s unfunny. They don’t like it because the just don’t get the humour and the plot lines

As time went on and Seth created other shows and did other projects, his and the others care for continuity, actual lessons and funny jokes slowly went out the window. They just don't care anymore. Long ago, before it became this long, it meant something. But, like with The Simpson's, they just stopped caring about putting out good quality stuff and just conformed to the way the world is now. They used give lessons on how drugs are bad, smoking is bad, how family matters, and things like that with funny but not too cruel humor mixed in. Now its gone to just Colder than below zero humor and almost nothing the original seasons had going on. The only thing keeping the show going is the adventures Stewie and Brian go on, because those atleast have something more to give than undeserving and unreasonably cruel jokes and humor. Things with Meg went completely out of control. In the first seasons, sure there was some jokes made about her but Peter, Lois and her brothers showed they still cared for her. Peter and Lois, even when they were mean, at the end of the day still remember shes their daughter and they loved her very much. Now shes nothing but a punching bag, something the show actually acknowledged in an episode, but instead of trying to fix it, they moral of the episode is 'get used to it'. Theres no love, no lessons, only a grain of funny jokes, and the creators don't give two shits. People think that the show should have stayed ended and that Seth was showing he agreed when he killed off Brian. There is no old fashion values, and there is no Family Guy.
Long ago, whenever I heard "Family Guy", I would think of funny-but not too cruel-humor, wholesomeness, and good life tips.
Now, whenever I hear it, I just think, "Oh, another Simpson's clone". Even though they were created to be different than them, they just became a carbon-copy clone of how The Simpson's is today.
And the thing that breaks my heart the most? I know that it will never be the same. With the way its going, not even the "Road To" series can save it anymore. The Family Guy we all know and love is gone, and all thats left is this shambling Zombie corpse.
First was Zombie Simpson's
Now we have Zombie Family Guy
Exactly. What i think would be for the best is for Seth to Make the family Guy movie, which would be the end of the series With seth Being Heavily involved, and just let the show rest and finally officially move on.
Dude wrote a fucking college essay over family guy.
Why is FOX still carrying the Simpsons? That show lost its edge about 20 years ago.
No it lost a few years before disney bought them
Nah not really 20 more like the last 5-10
They're still on? I could've sworn I heard something about them having their final season sometime ago
@@livinlikelarry3051, Honestly, I agree. Seasons 10-14 were still good but they weren’t up to the same level as the earlier seasons. Season 15 is when things really started to go downhill for The Simpsons.
If it makes them even a single dollar they’ll keep making episodes
I actually prefer old Stewie. Seasons 1-5. He was hardcore af. They made stewie a softie.
Yes, but I actually prefer him in the "solo adventures" with Brian
Same with Cartman he went from murdering Scott Tenermen's parents to becoming a passive aggresive faux pc plotter.
Billy Moulton now he has anxiety
Sooo true back then he was the worst little shit
He’s just another run of the mill gay baby now.
When my little pony has better characters than family guy
@M J Grasscutter idk fam I started watching with my 4 yr old twins and it's got some great plots and character development. Meanwhile Peter is STILL getting in 6 minute fistfights with a rooster, and Lois is still a chronic cheater looking for half a chance so...🤷🏾
*im gonna fucking gag*
My Little Pony has better characters than a lot of shows, to be fair...
@@thegrayowl1557 that's is really true
The show kinda declined on the last season.
Seriously ending the show when Brian died would have been the perfect end even though it would be a sad one. Brian was the character the audience could relate to the voice of the audience so they could get their answers even though the answers would be absurd. Him dying would have been the good final episode for the show to end on.
Could you please tell me the season and episode

@@poopsickle2411 S12E6 - Life of Brian
Or perhaps Christmas Guy
I stopped watching family guy when Brian started getting all political.
Yep. Brian went from the intelligent, charismatic anthropomorphic dog to a pompous prick
We can at least understand why Quagmire hates him...
Zenkai76 I think it should’ve ended when it was revealed, it was a show within a show.
Look I don't really agree with liberal views on a lot of things such as guns but I they do deserve respect such as when it comes to healthcare and jobs as well as handling the environment and I know they respect us conservatives in other ways to but Brian well oh boy
Toast Yes I consider myself liberal and progressive but even I’ve been accused of bigotry on a couple of occasions for not being progressive enough on the “new concepts” being pushed by the more SJW crowd.
The writers have tried WAY too hard to be serious and profound and have written some really baffling episodes. Meg finally stands up to her abusive family but stays because "its her lot in life to feel bad so they don't have to."
They try way too hard to be edgy and shocking to the point where all the characters feel like the same shallow asshole..Brian is probably the worst of the worst now.
Or the episode where we meet Quagmire's Sister and her abusive boyfriend? They tried to make it a little more serious in tone but failed miserably though my main gripe with that episode is how they portrayed her boyfriend. He would physically assault her out in public or around Peter and the gang and no one didn't even call it out. It just was too much lol
And yeah Brian's character was definitely brought down from likable and the only time his pretentiousness is bearable is when he's with Stewie because Stewie plays off of him and calls him out in humorous ways.
Decadent Gamer So much can be sad about that episode...i hate thinking about it so i purposely left it out. They just stared like morons as he was beating the shit out of her...and they treated HER like it was her fault for being in the relationship.
Stab me daddy.
"Turkey Guys" from season 13, 5th episode, shows all of this. Saberspark you should do a video on it!!!
Peter is so stupid he ruins every attempt to get a thanksgiving turkey. To the point Brian snaps because Peter doesn't know how a Prius works, and he smashes it. The writers don't allow Chris' character to mature and development, even when Stewie tries to help him make a Thanksgiving speech. Brian griffin over and over tries to be the voice of reason to Peter, but every time he speaks it goes in one ear and out the other. The whole episode makes me cringe and shows how bad the characters of fallen since the start of the first season.
A high school classmate in 1999 told me to check the show out and I've been watching it ever since
The Cleveland Show was made, separated a lot of the staff and then none of them returned after The Cleveland Show ended. That's what I believe ruined Family Guy, because it did coincidentally start its drought beginning with the ninth season.
Seasons 1-3 were golden, 4-6 were great and 7-8 were alright. Every season starting with nine started to get so bland.
And in my opinion, I LOVED the Cleveland show
To be honest, I just loved the theme song it was catchy!
You don't see that to south park.
it wasn't just bland, it was even worse than that. bland and sacrificing any message or morals for cheap shock humour that just numbs you.
Nah Family Guy was dead long time ago. You're trash. All the seasons after Season 3 were trash
i loved family guy when i was 14, and only figured my humor just matured away from it. its simply insufferable now.
Me too, I was a huge fan of that show when I was 14, now I watch it only for memories
The old seasons were definitely a bit funnier and had better writers, then the writers moved to American Dad, and it went downhill fast while American Dad got better.
i've always preferred the simpsons. it might have gotten bland, but it gives me more nostalgia, and is generally more genuine/wholesome.
I dunno, I go back and watch some older episodes and they still hold up. The writing just got worse.
@@sawyer2652 That is precisely why American Dad has gone from strength to strength every season because Seth MacFarlane's two best writers Mike Barker and Matt Weitzman moved onto AD. Family Guy turned to crap years ago.
Remember when joe was acually a good character and not just for the cast to go "lol your disabled XDDDDDD"
I remember the episode he was introduced, he was badass even in a wheelchair. Now he's just what Peter thought about him in that episode.
The character of Peter Griffin eventually evolved from fun loving dim-witted husband to a sociopathic jerk.
Damn, Family Guy really did copy The Simpson's at everything.
Excellent work as always.
I sometimes watch the new Family Guy episodes just to see if I actually laugh at something in them. Either way, I wouldn't be sad if the show was cancelled once and for all. I've already accepted that it died long ago.
Numberer1 Supply me with me memes
This is why I watch now American dad.
Also.. Will there be a Shlock 3?.
Same over here lol I watched with my brothers and idk it just feels everyone who used to be lovable has an attitude now like quagmire for example. Remember his random outbursts and always smiling. Now he's just an jerk. Family guy used to be about Peter and his family now when I watch Before Peter announces a dumb idea I'm like "uggh shut up you fat fuck." 😅😅
It's not only the lack of funny that's bothering me that much with new episodes. It's the emotional stuff and commentary on common life and family problems that the show used to have and doesn't have anymore that bothers me. The absolute same thing happened with The Simpsons.
I disagree. I'm still obsessed with the show. And if it gets cancelled, I'm kicking a door down.

I’d say the decline started with hit or miss jokes, similar or straight up copied poses, the collapsed pose, regular standing pose, and angry pose(you know the one, bent knees, angry face, clenched fists, and bent elbows, and somewhat raised forward arms)
Seasons 1-5= great
Seasons 6-8= worse than before but still very watchable
Seasons 9-present= large descent into degradation
Agreed. 1-5 was brilliant,6-8 was ok but still watchable and anything past 9 is just terrible.
Could be an unpopular opinion but I personally really enjoyed season 9, I loved the first episode and I found it quite funny. Some of my favourite episodes are in season 9 😊
Most of the worst Family Guy episodes are from seasons 7 and onwards.
Similar to The Simpsons demise
I like 1 - 10.
Family Guy is just a show that teenagers watch little clips of for half an hour before getting up in the morning.
No
The truth in that statement hurts
Accurate
Are you spying on me?
R A V E N Accurate
I miss when they would make almost constant movie/show references ):
Also the way the animation was kind of fuzzy and a little plain and sloppy. It made it feel homemade, and comfortable. Like Seth made it himself just for you to enjoy in your living room. I also miss when Joe was like this awesome character, and he could do all these awesome things like fight crime and save lives, but he didnt let his wheel chair slow him down. Now hes like a pathetic man baby, and it upsets me a lot. Also when Peter was relatable, even when I was a kid I found him relatable. He was kind of childish but like not to the point where it was annoying. Like the one scene where peter made a draw bridge, and lois came back from shopping and he wouldnt open the draw bridge, but then she said "I have Garfield a tale of two kitties" and he opened the drawn bridge. I thought that was funny, and I loved it! But now peter is like a disgusting asshole piece of shit, and I hate how the show is too worried about what's happening in the world right now. Back in the day they just wrote episodes about their characters, now it's like "transgender people are becoming more open and prominant, let's write a whole episode where peter gets an accidental sex change and has to live as a woman!!!!!!" Like shut up. Thats not a good episode. I want more episodes like Road to Rhode Island/Road to Rupert. Episodes where the characters adventure out somewhere together and have to experience some kind of hardship/struggle, and then you're refreshed at the end of the episode when the issue is resolved/they finally get back home.
I love this comment
@@caydenrobidas3788 Thank you! ^^
I just watched a compilation of season 1 & 2 jokes and you're exactly right. The animation style went from lively and comfy to cold and robotic.
I feel like family guy almost tried to change the humor to match the change in humor over time, while they should have just stuck with the original humor that made them popular in the first place, if that makes sense
!!!
a show is only as good as it's characters, and Family guy used to have a cast of likable, three dimensional characters, but now they've been replaced with toxic, spiteful one dimensional shadows of their former selves. #cancelfamilyguy
What about It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia? Egoistic, shallow and one dimensional characters, yet the show is a commercial and critical hit

Its amazing that South Park is still going strong, probably because they start making all their episodes six days before they air.
Eh
Going strong? They made the pandemic special because everyone is bored of that show:
@@clevernickname3396 Or, and this is more likely, they made the pandemic special because of the pandemic. Just a thought...
They made it because viewership was going down and now they brought it back up with the special and have got the highest ratings on the show in 7 years.
@@clevernickname3396 Without the Pandemic they would have had a normal season instead. My point still stands.
Honestly I wonder if all the violence and stupid jokes is Seth's way of trying to see how far he can go before the show gets canceled for good. He's already said he's tired of the show and that it had run it's course. I believe it got canceled twice before and the people kept bringing it back. So like I said I think Seth may be trying to make it as horrible as he can to push the network and fans into wanting it canceled so he doesn't have to do it anymore and so he can focus on other projects. He did amazing with the Orville. I'm sure he wants to do more stuff like that without family guy getting in the way.
Okay this video gave me the weirdest epiphany. I remember seeing Larry and Steve on what a cartoon. I knew at a later point that Seth Mcfarland had made a test show for family Guy called Larry and Steve, but somehow it is not until this post that I actually connected the two.
Actually Saber, the creator of Fairly Oddparents announced on his CZcams channel that he's leaving Nickelodeon and cutting Fairly Oddparents. Maybe it was for the better.
yeah he left :( pretty regretable but well he had his own share of work back in the day on nick
Pedro_Hernandez_Pro It is because Nick has turned into a shadow of its former self.
pretty much many tv channels has turned into a shadow of their former self,disney while having some good to okay shows has things like pickle&peanut running on their channel,cartoon network runs TTG 98% of the times
So true. It's just scary how much times have changed for these once beloved networks.
the world's most awesome variety channel Not really,nick only has really few okayish to bad shows atm
My problem is the show became relentlessly mean spirited. I don’t have a problem with edgy jokes or dark humour but family guy doesn’t have anything interesting or funny to say anymore, it’s just controversial jokes for the sake of it, it’s not intelligent or well written it’s just cheap shots at the disabled and women (for the most part). I mean can anyone actually laugh at joe anymore in particular? His character and the way he’s treated just makes me really sad
Sergeant Pickles filthy frank is dark humor
Its dark humor, it’s been like that for the longest. This generation is too soft nowadays smh.
Luis Garcia yeah i agree
Luis Garcia it’s not that it’s too edgy for me, it’s just not funny. Idk maybe you have to be 15 to get why shitting on joe constantly is funny.
it doesnt matter what kind of humor it is any. It's dry, it's shriveling up, and honestly no longer amusing.
People can defend it all they want, but the series is pretty much dead now. I've been there since day one, loved it, and look at it now as something that should have been put to rest a longtime ago.
It's not just Family Guy that's suffering from this either. It's sad to see the things we once love die, but honestly i think it's better to have them die being good then watch them slowly grind to an ungraceful halt.
Pass away peacefully, or crash and burn.
By the way Brian acts increasingly “woke” I can never tell if Seth is making fun of the left or is a part of the left? 🤔
Pretty sure making fun of them
@Nicholas Davis he can still parody liberals
I remember back when episodes would show Chris as a talented artist who just like to draw. I miss that.
For me, it was the abuse Meg went through that caused me to stop watching it. When I rewatched the first few seasons, I realized they've always made fun of Meg. For example, in the song "This House is Freakin' Sweet", one of the lyrics goes "We'll do the best we can with Meg" and that was funny! But as the show progressed, her treatment was worsened. I'm not saying that they can't make fun of her at all, but a line has been crossed. Another reason was Peter. As you mentioned. he went from a lovable doofus to a complete asshole. He used to do the best he could to provide for his family and now? It's just sickening to watch. I haven't watched the show in years so I had no clue how bad the other characters got. I'll gladly watch their older episodes. But I'll pass on the recent ones.
tkf15 are you a child? Grow some balls it's just fiction lol
Yes but, it so happens that I don't enjoy seeing people being emotionally abused. Fictional or not.
tkf15
Yeah, I agree. Even in the old episodes, you can still see how the family still love Meg despite them teasing her unlike now. It's like they went from lovable teasing to straight up abuse. Everyone's personality is just garbage now except for Chris who got better.

@@TheBobist So then what category of entertainment does it fall into, drama? Also, if it isn't supposed to be funny then FOX screwed the pooch having it air in the same block with a bunch of comedic cartoons.
@@NavySharkz The genre is "family" I would say. and personally, I find the show to be funny, as do many. check the rotten tomatoes rating against family guy. look at a video on CZcams where bobs burgers family appeared on family guy. that comment section is 90% Bob's is better than family guy. Family guy goes for shock value type humor. ya know... cussing... nudity, sexual, and otherwise unrealistic situations
rant incoming::::
so I came across this article and got so happy that others see it the way I do.
I truthfully feel like shows like family guy and the Simpson have normalized the idea that an animated family has to have a fat stupid husband and "sexy" wife with bad kids in order tom be the family dynamic that creates "humor"
of course with family guy taking it a step further with complete absurdity and nonsense in spades. (which works well don't get me wrong) and so I think that's why people ignore this show so much.
it's not a tone of cussing. it's all realistic things that can happen. no one gets shot in one scene and cool in the next.
no talking babies building time machines. no aliens in wigs. no intergalactic scifi hoopla.
these outlandish ideas are just what people have come to expect from adult animation and because bob's burgers has literally none of that, it's written off as boring. but they can't help it. this is what it takes to entertain now because that's what we have been fed. Its... the norm, so to speak.
just a normal family doing normal things... loving each other. WITH conflict and still being an all around good family with good people and a wife and husband that actually fit together and still can make me laugh. Which I could easily send u good examples.
even the school environment is normal. no "school bully" tropes because that shit just isnt real anymore.
there is a mean girl or 2 but it's not even that over the top stuff like usual.
Bob's is the best at creating real human beings. nothing compares to it. that's all i have to say.
My dad and I use the show as background noise when neither of us want to go to bed
Is it only me or it seems that every episode is the same? Two story lines, then something dramatic happens or something alike, and at the end happy ending or a lesson learned.
See that formula used to work too, but now when every character is an awful human being, it's impossible to pass off morals.
That’s the point of the show that’s been stated over 2-4 times three out the show
They never learn lessons
Actually I believe that Spongebob is getting its second wind with the return of old writers. I think the newer seasons of Spongebob are compared to season 4.
Nah i heard nicks gonna stop making new spongebob episodes but idk if thats true
Didn’t it have its last episode afew weeks ago?
Ramirez. G trust me it's not true
+Ramirez. G they aren't stopping anytime soon. They already announced a new movie a year or so ago. In 2019
My main issue with Family Guy is just its overall repetition, particularly when it comes to episodes that center around Peter and his relationships with his friends and family. The formula going like this, at the start Peter is being selfish, headstrong, arrogant or just genuinely irresponsible, midway this causes a disfunction in his personal relationships and by the end he accepts responsibility for his wrong doings. This wouldn't ordinarily be an issue, if any of Peter's growth actually stuck, but it doesn't, by the start of the next episode, Peter is as obnoxious and irresponsible as he was previously, which is odd given that, at least at the start, Peter may have been a moron, but he was a good person who did value his friends and family. Now he's just a cruel self-serving twit who cares more about his own entertainment and thrill seaking than the well-being of those immediately impactful on his life.
This is seen no better in the episode where a heavy rainfall causes the Griffens to remain inside, where Meg finally stands up for herself and points out how cruel her family treats her, yet by the end, they all revert to deciding to treat Meg like a doormat so that they don't have to actually deal with their issues like responsible people, yes it's a comedy show, but that doesn't mean these characters should be as despicable as possible. Having said that I am a huge South Park fan, thanks to Eric Cartman, however the difference is that South Park reinforces how terrible of a person Cartman is than doing some half-assed attempt at making him a good person, with few acceptions, but still Cartman isn't meant to become a better person, he's a narcissistic pschyo who takes glee in making others suffer and he's sees nothing wrong with his behaviour, the same mostly applies to Peter, except the show continuously tries to make Peter "good" only for him to throw away any wisdom his has gained by the next episode
Honestly it was never that funny to me, I feel like one of the reasons the show is such a joke now is that it kept trying to continue even after it’s edgy and not very creative brand of humor became outdated.
Yea family guy was actually really good in its older years but now it's basically becoming bad.
It's kind of the Spongebob of Fox.
Nolan Peters except spongebob recently went back uphill again, but family guy keeps getting worse every passing season.
Nah, that's The Simpson.
No, Simpsons is still at least decent.

This is how I would end Family Guy. All the characters would go back to how they were apart from Stewie. They would reflect on themselves and see how bad they became as people. They would all forgive each other. The episode would close with everyone laughing and just in general having a good time. Then the credits would role and that would be the end of Family Guy.

bruh drake Yeah true.
It has been covered to death already.
When you Google "flanderization" and come across the wikipedia page and it features a picture of Family Guy with these exact problems (Meg becoming the punching bag, Lois becoming a sex addict, etc)
Flanderization ultimately diminished the quality of these shows. You see it in Family Guy, the Simpsons and Spongebob
I was talking with someone about shows that are tv-14 but are close to being tv-ma, and I said, “Family Guy can be pretty extreme and violent too.” The person I was talking to then said, “Wait... Family Guy? Really?”. This kinda shows how much the show changed from witty and clever to low brow humor.
