That’s nonsense. It certainly isn’t sophisticated humor, but if almost everybody here thinks it isn’t funny, I think it reflects a problem with the people here… not the show.

Yeah, 'cause it couldn't possibly be that you have no taste. You're clearly much smarter and more urbane than the majority of us who are obviously too stupid to know that all the cool kids were supposed to be watching the 3rd place TV show in its Sunday timeslot according to Neilsen Ratings.

Actually, by being outraged at the show you are officially turned into the parody that the leftists who write the show said you were. ;-)

By that logic, Seth McFarlane is a patethic parody of leftism for the uninformed sputtering outrage against Republicans and traditional American values in every episode of his cartoons. On that much we agree.

Family Guy is funny…just not funny over and over again. I’m more of a Futurama, or Simpsons up to season 11 or 12 kind of guy. South Park really nailed Family Guy with the Cartoon Wars episode.

Greatest Family Guy moment ever:

Lois: Peter, are you drunk?

Peter: No, I’m just exhausted from staying up all night drinkin’.

That was one of the best episodes. If you didn’t like that, pull that 10 foot stick out of your butt please.

Yup, it’s Rush. He talked about today on his radio show. He was directed over the phone by the show’s creator.

I don’t understand why he’d do the cameo. I thought it was him when I heard it last night, but it was pretty insulting, just stereotype after stereotype.

I thought the episode was funny. I know going in that there will be laughs at the expense of Republicans, but come on, people, it’s just a freaking cartoon show! Lighten up! I think some of you guys need to back away from the computer for awhile.

I've never really found Family Guy that funny. Seth McFarlane did much better with the first season of the 90s Cartoon Network show, "Johnny Bravo." Rush's cameo clip here was just meh, especially after just watching this.

The only lol parts for me:

-hyperspace w/ Tom Baker’s image and Dr. Who music.

-the end goofing on themselves for being behind robot chicken and Peter humming the robot chicken star wars theme.

Rush’s bit was worth a chuckle.

SP nailed McFarlane on his derivative humor. FG is just not that funny. I will go back to ignoring the show.

I didn’t see the episode… but it’s easy to tell from what people are saying that the Empire was supposed to be Republican’s…. which I have to say is the most ridiculous thing… With how much the Dems crave power, and try to take over people’s lives you’d think they’d at least realize that they would be the Empire, not the Rebels.

It’s not that 90% of us don’t think that Family Guy is NOT funny. It’s that 90% of every episode of Family Guy is NOT funny.

I thought the “Bush-Cheney” sticker on the back of the Star Destroyer was pretty good too…

Big dems, those guys. But I know teh funny when I see it.

Guys, no offense, but if 90% of you think that Family Guy is NOT funny, you need to lighten up.

It’s not that 90% of us don’t think that Family Guy is NOT funny. It’s that 90% of every episode of Family Guy is NOT funny.

My problem is that Limbaugh’s built-in (albeit rapidly aging) audience and $300 million radio contract has officially turned him into the pathetic parody the left said he was for years. For him to take a paycheck parroting a script written for him filled with lame-ass stereotypes caling his radio listeners are stupid racist science-deniers is pathetic. The only thing more pathetic is if he did the cameo for free.

Too bad a considerably younger and more web-savvy political pundit doesn’t have her own radio show.

Rush was pretty funny, though I have to agree with Good Lt, the Cartoon Wars episodes of South Park were so bruising it pretty much ruined Family Guy for me too, I was kinda heading there anyway because I only watched it till it got cancelled the first time and really didn’t pick it back up when it was revived, plus I had kind of a “I liked it before it was cool” thing going, I was kind of repelled by the hordes of people wearing Stewie t-shirts.

Well, I thought it was hilarious! Rush did a great job.

Just watched the entire episode on Youtube.

I got the impression that they were afraid to make too many jokes, for fear of pissing of Lucas. There’s no way they could’ve done the entire movie without permission. And since Lucas was watching over them, they probably couldn’t push the envelope as far as jokes. Which is why it sucked.

I loved how this ep had not one, but two Airplane references.

Indeed. And that Robot Chicken was hilarious.

FG stopped being funny when it came back, agreed. And then I caught wind of the Simpsons folks getting bent ‘cuz McFarlane kept ripping them off. And … well …, the more I watch FG, the more I realized that they were right.

Great moment in the Simpsons when Marge is looking up something up in the dictionary, stops on the page for “plagerism” and there’s a picture of Peter Griffin.

I’m a South Park fan till I die, but I thought this episode was pretty well done.

And yes, the South Park full-out assault on Family Guy permanently ruined Family Guy for me. And that’s awesome.

There’s a good bit at the end about Robot Chicken beating them to the punch on the Star Wars theme, argued by Chris (Seth Green).

Family Guy is far too crude to be funny.

I liked the episode Lorien, but it’s tough to do an hour show of that kind of comedy (Family Guy movie). They even had Rush’s name in the credits at the end of the show.

I thought the show was written by manatees.

Blacklake

Ha, that was a good South Park…”idea balls”…

eh, I actually really liked that Star Wars Family Guy…Stewie as Vader was cute. And Brian as Chewie…

Good to see (hear) the Maharushie do his thing!
