Please Shut Up About Family Guy

One down, five to go.

Family Guy isn’t funny. Never was, never will be.

Ever wondered where The Simpsons got their family on the couch ‘trademark’?

Like King Of The Hill and The Simpsons before it, it’s another copycat Wait Till Your Father Gets Home – Hanna Barbera’s animated sit-com of the 1970s cancelled after three seasons when one of the victims of its satire sued them and the show’s sponsors (and you thought gagging by writ by the rich and powerful was anything new?).

The difference is that The Simpsons is funny (to the extent Ronald Reagan tried to find a way to ban it because he thought it ‘subversive’ and ‘preaching un-American values’), using satire to comment on both comtemporary issues and timeless.

Testicles Chin simply graft tired old gags loosely onto tired old plots done a gazillion times better by others, throwing the odd piece of ‘controversial’ material more for the sake of headlines than making a point.

Even the puns in Animal Crossing New Leaf are ten times funnier than Testicles Chin ever will be.
