The journalist, Judith Martin, states “The greater the controversy, the more you need manners.” In other words, no matter a person’s position on someone’s beliefs, they should respect them regardless. Some people have a plethora of negative opinions of Family Guy, whereas others are huge fans. In Antonia Peacocke’s controversial essay, “Family Guy and Freud: Jokes and Their Relation to the Unconscious,” she portrays the belief that Family Guy is actually more logical and less ignorant, than…

Peter Griffin: The Not So Typical Family Guy Pedophilia, mental disabilities, and terrorism are not usually the first thoughts that come to mind when a person contemplate comedy. Despite this fact, they are all subjects I have witnessed the well-known television show Family Guy poke fun at. This show represents a father, Peter Griffin, and his family and all of the ridiculous circumstances they put themselves in. While the majority of people do not find these subjects funny, they still find the…

Family Guy is a situational comedy about a modern day cartoon family. This family is what most would call dysfunctional. Staring a father with a below average IQ and a peanut for a brain, a talking baby who plans on destroying his mother and ruling the world, a talking dog who thinks he is an author, a son who takes after his father with a well below average IQ, a daughter that everyone picks on and acts as if she doesn't exist, and a mother who is trying to keep everyone inline. Peter, the…

From this perspective, I find it completely absurd that people actually find it acceptable to engage with such a vulgar show. On the other hand; however, others argue that it is a cruel show that incorporate crude humorless jokes. In the words of…

practice for movie studios to greenlight sequels, even sequels to movies that few people particularly ask for. This is that grey area in Hollywood where box office success supersedes creativity - and as it pertains to Neighbors, which currently stands as Seth Rogen’s highest grossing film to date (live-action role, at least), it makes perfect sense for there to be a sequel. Right? The 2014 summer box office hit grossed $240 million against a miniscule $18 million production budget, leaving…

Both American Graffiti and Superbad highlight the character’s view of the adult world as being something to fear by including adult characters who can’t let go of their adolescence. In American Graffiti, John is older than his high school friends. He is “the king of the town” and the best drag racer. Throughout the film, he seems to be on the brink of letting go of his reckless adolescent past but never seems to reach this conclusion. One example is when Falfa (Harrison Ford) is racing him and…
