To hate Family Guy?

Dh is watching family guy and I hate the programme. It’s often sick and crosses that time in what I find funny, but this episode in particular is the one where the baby is pregnant by the dog! The dog hits the baby in the stomach when he’s told.

Just had a row with dh as I told him to turn it off, he was laughing at the ‘jokes’ and I don’t know I just find it all so distasteful.

Waiting to be told I’m a prude and need to get a sense of humour as I’m sure I will do.

It's easy watching mindless humour. I like it.

Ribbonsonabox · 01/02/2019 19:16

YABU! I dont have a serious argument for why it's funny though.... well I do... but I think it would render it unfunny... and also humour is pretty personal... no amount of explanation is going to make it funny for you if it's just not up your street!

My husband also says he dislikes it... but I've caught him laughing hysterically at it before!!

Not unreasonable at all

Think it's hilarious. Yeah there are some oooooo moments but alot of it is funny because it gets close to that like and in real life you couldn't justify laughing at a joke like that.

Also it's American... American humour is different to uk.

Do you like Simpson's or American dad?

I've never found it funny. And I'm a huge Southpark fan. So it's not like I get all offended.
It's just not funny.
Give me bobs burgers anyway over family guy

I hate it. Find it very distasteful. DH watches it very occasionally but I wouldn't argue with him over it. Just busy !myself doing something else.

Cannot stand it. I think its crass, crude and not funny at all.

BertieBotts · 01/02/2019 19:12

I don't like it either, I have often felt similarly. It has occasional funny moments but a lot goes too far.

I hate it with a passion and cannot understand why it's so popular. Or used to be.
