Top 10 Worst Things About Family Guy

1. The Meg-hating gag

   

   Meg isn't worth all the hate, and it's just stupid watching them hate on her. A person would actually kill their brother rather than go to the prom with her, really. The sad thing about the Meg hating gag is that the reason why they hate her so much is because none of the writers know how to write for a teenage girl.

   Meg doesn't deserve to be hated so much at school and at home. I'd honestly be her friend if I had the chance because she's literally one of the only good characters in the show.

   I haven't watched much of Family Guy, but I think this should be number 1!

2. The long gags

   Seriously, I hate these so much. All they do is either say something long, have a cutaway that's long, or drag out an unfunny joke.

   The show could definitely do without them. They're pointless beyond belief.

3. It's getting worse and worse

   Family Guy is just rubbish.

   The Simpsons is a classic. In the UK, on Sky One and Channel 4, we have had Simpsons days which featured hours of Simpsons episodes. Channel 4 mostly shows 90s episodes on the weekends, while Sky One shows a mix. I don't think ITV2 ever had Family Guy days, and it's not because it's not as old as The Simpsons. They have had Simpsons days since the 90s.

   They have reached the point where the show must stop. Most episodes now seem to try to make fun of real life rather than other shows. They know too much about real people and imitate them badly.

4. The characters have become unlikable

   The internal and external characterizations of the characters are not as relatable as they used to be, unfortunately.

   If characters in Family Guy existed in real life, they would be shot.

5. It tries too hard to be funny

   Family Guy is just a show that tries way too hard to be funny. It's barely ever funny because there are only a couple of scenes that made me laugh. At least The Simpsons and South Park are actually funny and good shows that make me laugh.

   Seth was better at writing kids' shows in the 90s. Johnny Bravo, Dexter's Laboratory, I Am Weasel, and Cow and Chicken.

6. Really boring episodes

   Family Guy has to be original again.

7. Over-the-top violence

8. Overuse of sexual content

9. It's offensive

   It's an adult cartoon. What did you expect? Although, I can agree Modern Family Guy sucks based on what I've heard from others and clips I've seen from bad modern episodes.

   Back then, it was offensive in a funny way. Now it's just trying to offend the audience.

   So what if it's offensive? Just learn to take a joke.

10. Overuse of cutaway gags

The Newcomers
11. ?

    There's no reason for the show to continue

    Seth regrets the JFK gag.

    Also Classic Family Guy was supposed to be family values. Peter a jerk but had a heart. S1-3

12. ?

    Too much toilet humor

    Toilet humor isn't funny at all, in my opinion, except for the toilet humor in South Park because they somehow make it funny. And there's literally a scene where Peter chases Meg around with farts.

The Contenders

13. The jokes are disgusting

14. Rape jokes

15. It's not funny

    One thing South Park can do but Family Guy can't is make me laugh.

16. It rips off The Simpsons

    

    Peter shot Meg just for saying "Hi," whereas Lisa called Homer a "baboon" (Lisa's Substitute, Season 2 Episode 19). Homer, however, was still nice to her even after that and tried to make her feel better, whereas Peter shot Meg just for saying "Hi"! That's why I hate Peter so much!

    Peter is a stupider version of Homer but more violent. He shot his daughter for saying "Hi." But have you ever heard of The Samsonadzes?

    Early Family Guy: Peter being incompetent in the Happy-Go-Lucky Toys Factory.

    Homer being incompetent in the power plant.

17. The Griffins are mean, cold, and heartless people

18. Suicide jokes

19. It makes fun of black people

    This is pretty much the worst part, in my opinion. I'm biracial, and this is just offensive to me. It really cuts deep that Family Guy would say such horrible things about black people.

20. It's still on the air

21. Too many pointless stories

22. The writing is lazy

    I've loved Family Guy for a long time, but one thing that really grinds my gears is when they recycle similar, unfunny content into other episodes. One example is that whenever Meg or Brian meets a new love interest, that love is always ripped away from them for pretty much no reason. Meg or Brian does nothing wrong to deserve it oftentimes. Also, I noticed that the love interest either leaves voluntarily or dies in a coincidental freak accident.

23. It's very mean-spirited

24. The plots are nearly nonexistent

25. Peter is abusive

    Peter Griffin should be in jail for the rest of his life because he's done so many bad things. He shot his daughter Meg because she said hi to him, engaged in child pornography, committed arson, robbed banks, beat up random people (sometimes even for no reason), abused animals, and more.

    Homer is called a jerk-ass, but he is nicer than Peter. Who do you think is the real jerk-ass?

    I know, right? Peter sucks, and Homer could whoop some respect into Peter!

26. It makes fun of religion

27. It's stale
