The entire “joke” is that the evil Chinese are spying on you and you should be afraid of them. At this point, I that every TV show over here that gets really popular is obligated to start blasting pure propaganda at the viewer.
Meanwhile the CIA and the NSA and the FBI and Amazon and some small shoe company from Tucson, Arizona know more about you than you do.
Funny how quickly people have forgotten that it was proven that the government and these mega corporations are spying on US citizens.
There is not enough hate towards family guy. Its jokes and cutway gags are disturbing, fuck their ironic racist jokes, it was never funny and never will be. I use this time to say, fuck Sacha Baron Cohen. You shit Zionist, who disguise his Islamophobia in ironic bigotry.
Family Guy is a show written entirely by smug cis white men and it shows. Forgive me, but I don’t find the constant deluge of black jokes to be that funny when it’s starting to look like they aren’t jokes at all. Just what you think african americans are like.
Seth MacFarlane does the Orville, too. It’s like if Star Trek were made by people who think the only good part of Star Trek was the advanced technology. Advanced technological liberalism where the technology has somehow magically erased contradictions. Pretty cringe.
fuck Sacha Baron Cohen. You shit Zionist, who disguise his Islamophobia in ironic bigotry.
Didn’t he take a harsh position against zionism?
He is more concerned about antisemitism than the plight of Palestinians, this is the sense I got from him. He is sure against crazy zionism but he is very lenient to Israel. It might be my ignorance. My dislike of him might be also due to my dislike towards his brand of comedy. That was also the reason why I found the article below as I was searching for articles that talk about ironic bigotry in media.

I already don’t like the guy for the entrapment and sexual harassment he did with US Republicans and I don’t even like US Republicans.
I’m very suspect that you use the word “entrapment”. Giuliani seemed to believe the woman was underage, though I could be wrong.
No, Borat himself implies that she is.
Giuiliani thought he showed up for a normal interview by a young adult woman.
She flirts with him and he flirts half-back.Sequence of events:
- Giuliani gets interviewed by a woman.
- They wrap up the interview.
- She invites him to his bedroom, supposedly for a drink.
- They lift and shift clothes to help each other take off their microphones.
- A half-naked stranger (Borat) barges into his hotelroom and tells him to stop what he’s doing because she’s underage and only 15 years old.
On top of making people think that Giuliani think she’s 15 as in the movie,
as the adult woman play a teenager dressing up in teen/child clothes throughout most of the movie (not the interview), there are signs that some of the video and audio might be edited.The audio where she invites him to the bedroom for a drink was out of mouth’s view and so was the phone number and address request.
Not only do I think that that’s an entrapment, but I will accuse Sacha Cohen of putting his own life and that of his assistant’s life in unnecessary danger.
Things could have easily gone wrong in my humble opinion if it hadn’t been Rudy, but someone far more on edge carrying a gun and thinking the jump-scaring stranger is a burglar or that the whole thing was some kind of an assassination plot instead of an innocent prank.
At the same time you have Sacha Cohen acting in a way towards a Republican official that I WOULD have called out if Giuliani acted like that towards his assistant.
But this is Sacha Cohen doing so.Sequence of events:
- Ron Paul gets interviewed by Bruno, another character by Sacha Cohen.
- Ron Paul is suggested by the cameraman to take a break in his hotel room because of technical difficulties.
- Bruno walks into Paul’s hotel room with him.
- Bruno then makes advances to Paul and starts taking his jacket off.
- Paul rejects his advances with shortcut no’s, physically turning away from him and taking an interest in magazine lying around. Clearly showing that he’s feeling uncomfortable.
- Bruno then takes off his pants.
Ah, that makes more sense now.
All I see from that show are racist jokes
I don’t think I’ve laughed once at a family guy joke. American TV is shit

The comments on that video were as racist as the sketch itself.
Ccchnia is spying on us!!
Most recent season of Rick and Morty has been cringing its pants off with little jabs at Russia or China. Just fucking weird in a show where that low-brow pseudo-political hyuck-hyuck “country-bad” “humor” wasn’t at all common before.
I remember one jab at Russia or China on Rick and Morty, but I can’t recall mountains of jokes of it. Do you have any examples?
Difficult to find stuff online. I remember they had another random joke thrown at Russia alongside this one. The ironic self-awareness of the show has led it to abandoning satire wholesale and just mentioning real-world situations and problems as if they were the joke.
Oh right, I remember that one. That threw me for a loop when I first heard it.
And there’s also an episode where Rick implies that China pays for the white house or has hands in the U.S. government.
That Thanksgiving episode was also racist as hell, I think. I’m white so idk how indigenous watchers may have felt, but the whole thing read pretty bad to me.
I interpreted that as just being part of Summer’s character. She always struck me as the teenager who just “discovered” politics and just parrots whatever the media says. I also remember in season 1 when their dog was trying to talk she thought it said “I love Obama” and tweeted it to all her friends.
I wish Dan Harmon wasn’t such a lib :( The dude is genuinely a talented and unique writer. Such a lib though. It’s exhausting.
Oh nooo really? I like Rick and Morty…
Family guy is just trying to be as offensive as possible. Seth McFarlane has essentially come out and said that he’s personally offended by “woke culture” (I.e. treating marginalised groups with the slightest bit of respect by not making the same jokes about them that derived from the justifications used to keep them down), so he’s actively trying to go against that in his shows.
I call it the Fox Unholy Trinity: Family Guy, American Dad, The Simpsons.
I never knew Seth McFarlane was offended by “woke culture.” I got the impression but I didn’t know he admitted it. I know that he was transphobic and stuff though. What a prick.
I mean, he didn’t admit it, but with what he said and what he did, it’s really hard to come to any other conclusion.
Yeah, either way.
Interesting. This scene wasn’t seen in the German version of Family Guy 🤔
I also can’t wrap my head around the fact that each Family Guy episode costs MILLIONS of dollars to animate, one of the most expensive animated shows, yet Family Guy is so poorly animated. Fucking how?
Capitalist inefficiency and unnecessary spending, I’d guess. I’ve heard from at least one animator that they often hire many people to do pointless work, or work that can be more effectively done by a smaller group
Do you still have a link to the interview with the animator?
Unfortunately not the specific interview. The guests were the animators behind a much smaller show called “Smiling Friends”, so I don’t know how well it applies to something like Family Guy
I mean, Family Guy probably has a blank check from the network, so one can only assume it’s even worse.
I assume that’s largely why it’s so expensive – they spend money on things they don’t need because they don’t have to justify it
It’s enough to make a man sick.
Seth McFarlane is a manchild.
Somebody pointed out that his only “talent” is being able to make a show that appeals to every flavor of lib. Biden fans think Family Guy is a clever satire on the morals of unwashed working class Americans. MAGA types love the offensive humor (“triggering the SJWs”). DSA types think it’s a subversive commentary on the ills of capitalism, plus Seth McFarlane occasionally includes anticommunist sequences to “own the tankies.”
When in actual fact, Family Guy is just crappy animation and juvenile jokes, all with a dash of hip “irony.”
