1 4 Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 Anyone seen this animation. Just seen a few episodes and found it really funny. Family Guy is good too from what I've seen. Are they consistently good? Link to post Share on other sites
muikabochi 208 Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 Never seen American Dad but seen a few Family Guy on flights, made me chuckle. Link to post Share on other sites
spook 0 Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 i prefer family guy to american dad. very funny. i can't believe they get away with some of the stuff they do Link to post Share on other sites
JA2340 16 Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 Saw a short piece of one of them, forget which but it don't matter much. What a waste of electrons! Typical Amreican attempts at humour - sadly falling flat. But, someone will probably defend them by quoting what one of the characters "said" - hey, it is ONLY A CARTOON!

Hokkaidough 4 Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 Family Guy is funny, a decent use of electrons if you ask me. Not even heard of American Dad though.. Link to post Share on other sites

Typical Amreican attempts at humour - sadly falling flat. But, someone will probably defend them by quoting what one of the characters "said" - hey, it is ONLY A CARTOON! I'm with you JA! They must appeal to the younger generation - you know the ones that grew up with The Simpsons!!! LOL! Something about the humor to me is just 'off', disrespectful - mind you I will wet myself over disrespectful but v funny stand up - maybe it is just that I don't like the delivery from animated characters!

brit-gob 9 Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 I've only seen them on the plane as well.... actually I thought Family Guy seemed quite funny. Thats the one with the talking dog, right? Futurama is the best cartoon for me. Link to post Share on other sites
Ezorisu 0 Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 American Dad is not particularly funny. Family Guy is consistently good, but a lot of the jokes are topical, and if you see an episode outside of the historical context, sometimes the jokes get lost. I can imagine non-Americans not finding either of these programs funny - sort of like how most Americans didn't find Monty Python, Fawlty Towers, Red Dwarf, Hitchhiker's Guide, etc. funny.

HelperElfMissy 42 Posted March 22, 2008 Share Posted March 22, 2008 True, I love british comedy - but then again I am a first generation Australian. Dad emigrated when he was 15. Link to post Share on other sites

JA2340 16 Posted March 23, 2008 Share Posted March 23, 2008 Tubby, what a great idea! Can we send them back?? or maybe just press undo several million times? Link to post Share on other sites
Yuki's Passion 1 Posted March 23, 2008 Share Posted March 23, 2008 Ive seen a season of Family Guy and found some of it pretty funny - some of it I didnt get, maybe living outside the country for close to a decade would do that? Joking about this and that, him and her, just dont get it...Simpsons I really like though, always makes me laugh. Scrubs too, I love that show Link to post Share on other sites
big-will 7 Posted March 23, 2008 Share Posted March 23, 2008 I enjoy the Simpsons and I've seen a few of Family Guy and thought it was funny. (I'm not from the US) Link to post Share on other sites

JA2340 16 Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 Yeah, but they are still cartoons! With someone unknown (or sometimes 'famous') reading the lines. Please don't start quoting "Homer said:..." stuff, he's a drawing! Link to post Share on other sites

JA2340 16 Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 Nah, just a BOF (boring old f@rt) who'd rather have fun without stupid cartoons! I actually rather make my own fun - don't need to be 'entertained' by the terebi. Link to post Share on other sites
BagOfCrisps 24 Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 Are you looking down on those who are entertained by terebi (watch, not need)? I'm not stuck in front of it watch, I'm quite selective, but some things are a good watch. Futurama / Simpsons included. Link to post Share on other sites
Tubby Beaver 209 Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 i love the Simpsons, Homer is a God!! Link to post Share on other sites
JA2340 16 Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 No, the TV is on atm, but I'm not watching it - it is just there as background noise. Link to post Share on other sites
snowbender 3 Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 Well ignoring the "tv is evil" discussion, I've seen both and they are both funny. Futurama is, of course, the best! Link to post Share on other sites
Ezorisu 0 Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 "New" Futurama episodes airing from 23 March 2008 - actually, they are 16 TV episodes recut from the 4 straight-to-DVD movies produced after the cancellation of the original FOX production. But still - hooray! Link to post Share on other sites
BillTheBinMan 0 Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 I didn't know that. You seen them Ezorisu? I hope they are as good as the original series. Link to post Share on other sites
