Family Guy, Vol. 2 (Season 3) Customer Reviews (22 - 24 of 32 Reviews)
Funny the first couple times around
What can you say about a family unit consisting of two adults laughing at toilet humor, a foolish, overweight oldest son, an overlooked, and unpopular middle child daughter, a megolomaniacal, in the closet baby, and a liberal minded talking dog with a thirst for booze?.
Eventually tiresome.
While it's probably nothing that can be helped, this particular kind of humor is simply drolling after repeated watchings. The types of jokes Family Guy centralizes on, forgoing the usual punch line, and moving in some random tangent for comical value. While this can be disarming and hysterical the first time, after repeated viewings you begin to ask yourself "Why couldn't they think of a real punch line? Is it really that funny, just because it's silly?"
The animation/physical comedy can also be a drag, as the view will flash to a totally unrelated scene, usually directed by a characters dialog, where something outrageous or involving the dialogue will happen. The Simpsons did this first, much better in my opinion, mostly because they didn't over-do it.
All in all the first couple times around maybe a 4/5, with each repeat viewing you may find yourself less and less entertained. I know I did.
Funnier than the Simpsons
I don't understand some of these children who say that they know anything about the Simpsons. How dare you say that Family Guy is a ripoff of the Simpsons just because it is a cartoon. How superficial is that? This is because basically, the Simpsons was made to be a ripoff of every sitcom ever made with the oafish father/husband that has a new problem every episode and partakes in "get rich quick" schemes. Matt Groening made the Simpsons because he wanted to do things edgier and more ridiculous than a live-action sitcom did, much like the Flinstones did in the middle of the century. Family Guy is simply a retread of the same idea, but more edgy than its tired 13-year-old counterpart, which has become the very thing that it set off to satirize. So before you say the Simpsons is a ripoff of the Simpsons, just know that the Simpsons is a ripoff of the Flinstones, which is a ripoff of the Honeymooners, and so on. Just quit yer bitchin'. Otherwise, Family Guy is absolutely hilarious, and even if you don't like this kind of humor, you will at least chuckle at the absurdity. And what kind of loser writes a review of something they don't have just to dis it.
