Hi fellow blog readers, it's me Matt and I am going to review one of the funniest cartoons on Fox, Family Guy. First things first, I used to not like this show. I thought the whole idea looked stupid and I would constantly make fun of it. Until I sat down to watch an episode and now I'm a pretty big fan. My favorite Fox cartoon is defininetly Bob's Burgers, but this one is by far my second favorite. For those who are unaware, it is about the Griffin family and they go on all kinds of hilarious adventures. The family is made up of the dad, Peter, the mom, Lois, the teenage son, Chris, the daughter, Meg, the talking baby, Stewie, and the talking dog, Brian. Other characters include Quagmire, a guy who always says "Giggity, giggity, giggity, goo!" every time he sees a girl he likes. The Giant Chicken who is constantly getting into fights with Peter and Herbert, the creepy guy in the neighborhood. If I had to pick a favorite character it's tied between Peter and Stewie, I think they're both really funny. Family Guy makes fun a lot of things in pop culture from Looney Tunes to Adam Sandler to Star Wars to Disney to The Muppets, it makes fun of everybody equally. The one thing that I don't like is when they make fun of religion. I believe that there are so many things you CAN do parodies of, that you should probably leave religion out of it. I always change the channel when they start doing that. One of my favorite things on the show is the signature "cutaway gags" in which a character says something and goes to something completely random. They always crack me up. Every few seasons they do something called a "chicken fight" in which a giant chicken jumps out of nowhere and him and Peter start beating each other. These fights sometimes go on for FIVE minutes (I'm pretty sure one was seven minutes), but they're still hilarious. My favorite episode is the crossover with the Simpsons, in which the Griffin family ends up in Springfield. Not only does everybody from the Simpsons show up, but Bob Belcher from Bob's Burgers even makes a cameo, it can't much better than that. All in all, Family Guy is a funny show that I recommend you watch if your looking for a good laugh on a boring day.
