It seems kind of strange how a popular sitcom like Family Guy has more and more jokes about depression, suicide, alcoholism, chronic health issues, divorce, financial problems, bad parenting, and general misery.

Or is that just where most Americans are at right now?

The final refuge of someone who can't tell funny jokes is shock humor.

All about that low hanging "shock value" the stuff that middle school kids will gravitate toward whilst still not being bad enough to cause any real ruckus

Remember how you had that friend in school who thought that dead baby jokes were hilarious?

Some people never stop being that guy.

>depression, suicide, alcoholism, chronic health issues, divorce, financial problems, bad parenting, and general misery.

FG never talked about those topics, it´s 80 references for gore scenes

There are always knuckleheads who will crack up at anything that seems naughty

For god's sake, just look at this website

Bojack Horseman?

Wait, shit, they didn't tackle divorce.

Simpsons were tackling depression decades before Family Guy was on the air.

Family guy has been on since the 90's.

It's kind of weird, but I really believe Adventure Time tackles some of the deepest issues, more so than most other cartoons.

...

They've lightened up on the edgy stuff. It's recently been more of your wacky, off-the-walls type of humor, like in Cleveland Show

This was interesting for a while but the Steve bits push it a little far

Was believable for a while until the whole "steve" shit

This.

Family Guy started out as a parody of clasic sitcoms about a dumb but loveable screw up dad who always tries to do the right thing in the end. Now that It's been on the air twenty years, classic sitcoms are more like Married With Children and Seinfeld, where none of the characters were particularly well meaning and meant to do the right thing, and modern Family Guy just takes this to the nth level by making every single character a violent sociopath.

You can thank the previous 16 years, especially the last 8, for all the degenerate self-entitled pretentious filth in society today. You hypocrites pretend to be so open-minded and intellectual yet you get buttmad triggered anytime someone says "bless you" and resort to looting, rioting, assault, and death threats when you don't get your way, like the overgrown brats that you are.

How's that Godless pro-Islamic socialism going so far? I mean every city and state you people own is a crime infested slum rife with poverty and corruption, but other than that at least "bible thumping christfags" have no rights there amirite?

If they'd ban protests ASAP, this could all be fixed

Ban protests, tear down the slums and replace them with nice homes for those with actual money, get rid of every news outlet (Because all they do is lie) and get rid of all the hippie environmental protection shit nobody needs. That's how to make this country great

What is Million Dollar Extreme ?
What is Milo Yiannopoulos ?

Does it bother anyone else that he's driving a fork-lift on a beach?

>godless pro-islamic

how does that even work

It's Sup Forumsbait, don't question it.

I love you.
