Family Guy has been going for a long time now (Series 6 the latest?). I think its excellent, completely random humor and they like to push the boundries like the South Park guys.

There are some classic moments out there, series 1 was a bit weak in my opinion but from then on it just built and built until it has reached the quality it is today
We are the unwilling, led by the unqualified, doing the unnecessary, for the ungrateful

Yup.. I quite like Family Guy too :lol:

My daughter showed me one I'd not come across before.. Burned Face Man. Dunno if this is just an internet thing but it seems popular with 'that age group' at her school. Didn't rock my boat though :worried:

Family Guy (and American Dad, if you like family guy you'll like this too) are both far better than the Simpsons and have been for many years. For me the Simpsons died years ago, the jokes just haven't been funny for a long time. They should have called it a day when they released Futurama and explored that a bit more rather than flogging the Simpsons to death. Incidentally I recently watched the Simpsons movie and found it atrocious, I would have been pretty gutted if I had paid money to see that. The only good gags were shown in the trailers and the rest of it was fairly dire.

Isn't that so often the case though. I rarely go to the movies these days but went quite often when the daughter was a tiddler and without exception.. the best bits of all the movies we went to see were shown in the tv trailers. Makes you feel kinda cheated doesn't it :-(

Very much just an internet thing, courtesy of David Firth at fat-pie.com (do not remove the hyphen :lol:). A series of flash cartoons created by him in his spare time, along with a number of others. Not everyone's cup of tea, that's for sure. ;-)

Ah.. ok. Tks for that Tweek ;-)

She sat there with tears rolling down her face but I couldn't see it. Perhaps I was a little disgusted at the content.. or more that she found the content funny. I dunno really. :dunno: Kids!! :roll:

The funniest cartoon I've seen recently was Metalocalypse on Adult Swim, it's a bit niche and you might not get the humour if you miss the references but it's genuinely witty and entertaining.
