Family Guy; A good laugh or offensive?

[Danger Close]

Please read the thread before posting: "A good laugh or offensive?" Its not a debate about whether or not it should be aired or whether choice lies with the viewer. Its whether or not the content is offensive.

It is offensive, but that doesn't mean it should be censored.

I did read your silly thread. My post is completely relevant. If you find it offensive, you shouldn't watch it.

@Minx

I don't agree with people having to not being offended, makes the human mind sensitive, it's also a reality check.

By no means am I saying censor it. I'm simply stating that racism can really effect someone negatively. I'm pretty young now but even a couple years ago when people made terrorist jokes it always bothered me and when I realized that a good majority were serious it lead me to alienate myself and begin to hate others. Racism does not serve a purpose, censorship should be allowed in some cases such as propaganda calling for violence but this is thread is not about censorship. Its more about whether or not the jokes no longer become jokes.

My personal view for things like this, more of an overall view, is that people need to chill out.

Simple as that.

I guess I can understand where you and Minx are coming from. I just have very strong views regarding anything racist.

When it's serious, it's messed up.

When you're making a joke out of it, have a laugh.

I get jokes about everything all the time, live a little.

I think it's funny because it's highly offensive, I don't actually think people get offended from it though because it's Family Guy and enough said.

 

[Wale_mybb_import14682]

Well the thing is some groups do get offended. Here is just one example!

Well im watching season 1-9 and then the movies/ bonus episodes, so , i'm with the "its a laugh" side.

Your picture gave me a reminder of a good example of a good laugh. The actions of the baby are funny and really no negative to that joke. On the other hand I believe family guy is a dirty laugh. That being said they've really be a lot cleaner and less offensive lately.

Yes, after watching all the episodes, they really hate on washed up actors / singers, like britney spears, they kain her alot in their episodes, also they have a good crack at the jews being money hungry and the blacks always stealing or doing the sterotypical "black" act.

 

[Wale_mybb_import14682]

Yea I can definitely agree with that but add paraplegics and the occasional muslim joke. Last night I was watching the episode where Megan goes to jail and is released hardened.. When she goes to rob Goldman's store he tells her to take the jar for leukemia patients because he doesn't give it to them anyways. Then when she is talked down. The 4 black gentlemen walk in. (sorry for description but I couldn't find a youtube clip or even pictures)

It's not offensive nor is it funny. It's just a retarded show, it's all about pokemon.

 

[Wale_mybb_import14682]

Automatic Coding I'll respond to you as if you were being serious. The question is a "or" not a neither. That being said pokemon when I use to watch was fine.

 

[George_mybb_import13408]

Personally, I LOVE it. I watched the newer christmas one, where they have to be santa, and i swear i laughed so hard i almost wet myself.

If it offends anyone, they need a sense of humour.

 

[Rainy_]

Who cares who it offends, 99% of comedy is laughing at others.

 

[Wale_mybb_import14682]

Yes but when the joke becomes laughing at a group because of something they can't control such as skin color then its not exactly funny.
