family guy be probably the most ballsy sitcom ever produce . it relentlessly skewer everything it can think of and from tv show to family drama . best of all and it one of the few tv show on today that actually funny . the show revolve around the griffin represent peter and the obese father whose scheme be limit by his lack of intelligence . lois and the mother who be more or less the head of the family and even though peter considers himself to be that . chris and the fat teenage son who have just a few brain a his dad . meg and the black sheep of the family that be the but of everyone joke . stewie and the baby who have plan for kill his mother and taking over the world . and brian and the family dog and who be frequently the voice of reason and but be frequently corrupt . family guy employ many tactic to get laugh from the audience . most notable be the frequent cutaway that spoof what have just be say . they be effective because of the impeccable timing and and in how they play out . family guy use spoof to get humor a well and most commonly from 80 tv show . what really make the show so great be that a person doesn not have to be familiar with what it spoof . i be sure it would help and but the material be funny enough in it own right . but the show doesn not stop there . not only do it spoof just about everything and it skewer it own spoof . the show be fill with off color humor . the only reason why people aren not up in arm about the show be probably because it make fun of every race and sex and other generality equally . there be nothing sacred here and and no one and nothing be immune from family guy satirical jab . put on musical number in a film take a lot of time and effort and and it a very big risk . but family guy contain some great song . all well write and perform and and of course they be hilarious ( perhaps the most famous one and the freakin fcc be both catchy and and hysterical because it hit the rating board where it hurt ) . the voice characterization be right on the money . seth mcfarlane be tremendously talented . he provide the voice for peter and brian ( which be his own natural voice ) and and stewie . not only be the voice consistent and creative and he can alter their pitch at will and so it really seem a if they be speak by three different actor . alex borstein bring a nasally drawl to lois that be perfect for the character . seth green be unrecognizable a chris ( have i not look on imdb and i would have never know that it be him ) . lacey chabert originate the character of meg and and while she be good and mila kunis really elevate the character with her sharp voice . kunis give meg a new and sharp edge that she do not have with chabert . family guy have be compare to the simpson and and that entirely understandable ( and not just because they be produce by fox ) . both be satire of blue collar life and and while the simpson be good and family guy contains be sharp edge . the show be utterly fearless . there be no real sacred cow . the show lampoon handicap ( physical and mental ) and ethnicity and tv show and movie and celebrity and politician and religion ( especially catholicism ) and drug use and addiction and sexual humor of all kind ( include s and m ) and and some that just beyond description . not everything family guy throw at the audience work and but a a whole and the show be consistently amuse and frequently hilarious . if there any flaw with family guy and it that the joke run on far too long sometimes . particularly with the awkward moment joke and the sequence be stretch for so long that not only do it cease to become funny and it become so irritating ( and long ) that a fast forward button be warrant . these can be effective at about 10 to 15 second and but the show sometimes stretch these to beyond two minute . one could argue that the show rewrite it rule to suit the plot and and it often do ( for example and brian frequently act like a person and but he still act like a dog when the story require it ) . but that not a problem because the show still work . some people have argue that the show have stop be funny . while i agree that it not as edgy a it use to be and i think the blame lie with fox and not mcfarlane and his crew . the show originate with fox and but after some lackluster rating and viewer turnout and it be cancel . however and dvd sale be large enough for it to be pick up by adult swim . the show become an instant success and and it be once again buy by fox . however and because the show be so big now and fox be afraid to let the writer experiment and try new thing . while it still funny and the humor be not a fresh and edgy . definitely check this show out . it awesome .
