Everyone has those days when we just want to veg out in front of the TV. For me, Family Guy is always my go-to show.
It doesn’t take a lot of brainpower to watch, but it’s still a very well-put-together cartoon. Even though this Fox series has only won three awards, I still think it’s one of the best shows you can watch. Here are seven reasons why:
1. It has a good balance of smart humor and dumb humor.
This show is not just a mindless cartoon- if you pay attention, you can pick up on more intelligent jokes sprinkled throughout.
2. You never know what the plot is going to be like.
The plot for each episode is so unique that it makes for an unpredictable episode each time you watch.
Plots that center around things like high school or losing a job that seem so done to death always have an unexpected twist.
3. It can get by with making fun of controversial topics.
Because Family Guy is a cartoon, it can explore topics that would be far too cold or even gory if it was a reality show.
Topics like terrorism, religion, disabilities, and are used for a twisted humor that makes it impossible for anyone to be offended and crosses a line that other TV series are afraid to do. They do it in a way that still has respect and grace.
4. It has jokes for adults and kids.
“This element makes it a convenient show that you can watch with your whole family, given that the kids are older than 12.”
5. The babies and animals can talk.
The relationship between Stewie, the baby, and Brian, the pet dog, is reminiscent of a partnership in crime. This interesting dynamic adds a layer of intrigue to the show.
The way that the animals and babies can talk so casually and normally provides viewers with an interesting perspective on characters that they wouldn’t have in other kinds of TV series.
6. Uses extreme stereotypes to enhance comedy.
It’s easy to slap a stereotype on a character and have the audience fill in the gaps, but it’s not always the best way to create a complex and well-rounded individual.
In some cases, it can be helpful to use familiar elements as a starting point, but it’s important to go beyond the surface level in order to create a truly three-dimensional person.
7. It makes you feel better about your relationship with your family.
The Griffins are one of the most entertaining cartoon families to watch on TV. They’re always getting into extreme situations, and while there have been plenty of heartfelt family moments throughout the series, Peter,
the husband, and his constant antics are always making life harder for the rest of the family. I think everyone can appreciate their household after seeing how this family gets put in some pretty wild situations.
A New Definition Of Culture Shock
Culture shock can be defined in a lot of ways, but for the purposes of this article, I’m going to focus on one specific type. Culture shock is the feeling of disorientation and confusion that can come from being in an unfamiliar place or situation.
This can happen when you travel to a new country, start a new job, or even just move to a new town. Culture shock is normal and it’s nothing to be ashamed of. In fact, it’s something that we all go through at one point or another in our lives.
