Moral criticism and controversy

A few controversies have occurred over the series' jokes about a number of sensitive issues. The "You Have AIDS" sequence,[1] in which Peter Griffin dances and sings in a barbershop quartet fashion around the bed of a man with end-stage AIDS about his diagnosis, drew protests from several AIDS service organizations. [2] In his 2006 book The Decency Wars: The Campaign to Cleanse American Culture, author Frederick S. Lane described Family Guy as among several television sitcoms that premiered in the 1980s and 1990s "aimed at the darker side of family life".[3] For other uses, see AIDS (disambiguation). ...

The Parents Television Council, a conservative watchdog group whose stated mission is to "promote and restore responsibility and decency to the entertainment industry",[18] has published outspoken critical views of Family Guy.[19][20][21][22][23] Initially, the PTC had speculated that Family Guy would be "pushing the envelope" before the series' 1999 premiere. [24] In May 2000, in its weekly "E-Alert" email newsletter, the PTC launched a letter-writing campaign to the Fox network to persuade the network to cancel Family Guy following a return from a long hiatus in the show's second season, due to what the PTC claimed were "strong advertiser resistance and low ratings".[25] The Parents Television Council (PTC) is a US-based nonprofit organization run and founded by conservative activist L.

Family Guy made the PTC's 2000[26], 2005[27] and 2006[28] lists of "worst prime-time shows for family viewing", having been chosen and several Family Guy episodes were chosen as "Worst TV Shows of the Week" for reasons of profanity, animated nudity and violence. The Council has frequently noted that the series was among the most popular shows among children aged 2 to 17, cautioning parents that children will be attracted by the show because of its animated format while asserting that the series is suitable only for adults.[29][30][31] Family Guy was also named the worst show of the 2006-2007 season by the PTC.[32] The PTC has also objected to Fox scheduling Family Guy during early primetime hours due to their concerns of children being likely to watch the series.[33][34] PrimeTime is a television newsmagazine from ABC News. ...


Additionally, the PTC, which has generated most of the indecency complaints received by the United States Federal Communications Commission,[35][36] has twice filed formal FCC complaints about Family Guy. The first indecency complaint, following the January 2005 rebroadcast of "And the Wiener Is...", was denied by the FCC on the grounds "that because of the absence of explicit or graphic descriptions or depictions of any sexual organ, along with the absence of shocking, pandering, and/or titillating effect, the episode ... is not patently offensive."[37] In November 2005, during "Sweeps" period for the 2005-2006 television season, the Parents Television Council launched a campaign for its members to file indecency complaints to the FCC for the episode "PTV", the Family Guy episode that satirized the FCC, for its sexually explicit humor.[38] However, the PTC had expressed doubt over whether they would formally complain to the FCC over that episode[39]; the PTC has not logged any complaints filed through their website.[40] In fact, that episode was highlighted in the Fox special TV's Funniest Moments that was broadcast on June 1, 2007; a rerun of the program on August 20 that year was named "Worst of the Week" by the PTC, noting that the "PTV" episode was among the highlights in the special.[41] FCC redirects here. ... “And the Wiener Is. ...

The PTC have also accused Fox of failing to include "S" (sexual content) and "V" (violence) descriptors in content ratings for some Family Guy episodes, part of what they consider a pattern of broadcast networks of giving programs inaccurate ratings.[43][44] Additionally, the Council has asked Family Guy sponsors Wrigley Company[45] and Burger King[46] to stop advertising for the show and has frequently accused the Fox network of what they perceive as the show being marketed to children and teenagers.[47][48][31][28][32][49] Several weeks following the 2007 Writers Guild of America strike, PTC TV Trends columnist Christopher Gildemeister recommended that fans of Family Guy watch other animated shows that he had claimed were less vulgar: The Flintstones, The Jetsons, and The Rocky and Bullwinkle Show, although he also wrote that The Flintstones and The Jetsons were "every bit as intelligent as Family Guy, even if they lack its lascivious and grotesque elements".[50] On January 2, 2008, The Washington Times reported that the Cadbury Adams company told the PTC that it would discreetly sponsor Family Guy based on a preview of episode content.[51] Seth Woodbury MacFarlane, born 26 October 1973, is a two-time Emmy award-winning American comedian, animator, screenwriter, producer, actor, voice actor and composer. ... // United States Ratings The TV Parental Guidelines system was introduced on January 1, 1996 in the United States in response to public complaints of increasingly explicit sexual and violent content, and use of scatology, in television programs. ...

Allegations of anti-religious bigotry

The group Answers in Genesis accused the show of anti-Christian bigotry for mocking creationism in the episode "Petarded".[52] Also, Entertainment Weekly TV critic Ken Tucker criticized the show for perceived anti-Semitism.[53] L. Brent Bozell III expressed in a column of his written in 1999 that he felt that the episode "Holy Crap" promoted anti-Catholicism.[54] Answers in Genesis (AiG) is a non-profit Christian apologetics ministry with a particular focus on Young Earth creationism and a literal, or plain,[1] interpretation of the first chapters of Genesis. ...

"When You Wish Upon a Weinstein"

The 2003 episode "When You Wish Upon a Weinstein", was initially refused airtime on Fox because its plotline—where Peter attempts to convert Chris to Judaism in hopes of making his son financially successful—was deemed inappropriate under accusations of anti-Semitism, despite the episode being viewed and approved by rabbis and having featured the voice of Jewish actor Ben Stein. An edited version eventually aired on Fox, with some content, such as a reference to Jewish deicide, removed.[57] “When You Wish Upon a Weinstein” is an episode of Family Guy that would have first aired in 2000, but due to concerns about its content it was not aired until November 9, 2003, when it was broadcast on Cartoon Network’s Adult Swim. ...

Criticism by other cartoonists

Jimmy Corrigan

The cartoon Jimmy Corrigan, the Smartest Kid on Earth was created in 1991 by artist Chris Ware, eight years before the premiere of Family Guy. This article or section does not cite its references or sources. ... Franklin Christenson Ware (born December 28, 1967) is an American comic book artist and cartoonist, best-known for a series of comics called the Acme Novelty Library, and a graphic novel, Jimmy Corrigan, the Smartest Kid on Earth. ...

... Stewie, the football-shaped-headed child who loathes his mother and invents diabolical weapons on Fox's Family Guy, bears a striking resemblance to a comic-strip character: Jimmy Corrigan, the Smartest Kid on Earth, a football-shaped-headed child who fears his mother and invents things to escape from her. Chris Ware has been drawing Jimmy since 1991... Says Ware, "I don't want a book of seven years' worth of my stuff to become available and then be accused of being a rip-off of Family Guy."

—Ken Tucker, Entertainment Weekly, issue 493, 1999[62]

MacFarlane commented on the similarities.

He had like the same shape head, he had like the same hairs on top. I had never seen it before, but it was actually pretty shocking. I can see how [Ware] would reach that conclusion."

Family Guy vs. Clerks

Kevin Smith and David Mandel, co-creators and executive producers of Clerks: The Animated Series, have gone on record showing hatred towards Family Guy. In the final episode of Clerks, they include a scene where a bad comedy writer consults a book entitled How To Write Cartoons by Seth MacFarlane, leading him to suggest the writers send the characters to Gilligan's Island and make gay jokes about them, parodying the heavy usage of pop-culture references and offensive humor on Family Guy.

Family Guy vs. South Park

When South Park creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone were questioned about the meanest thing ever said to them, Stone replied "When people say to me, 'God, you guys have one of the best shows on television. You and Family Guy.' That fucking hurts so bad", to which Parker agreed: "Very well said. It's such a kick in the balls."[65] Their opinions are showcased in the two-story arc "Cartoon Wars."

In the DVD commentary, Parker and Stone state for the record their opinions on Family Guy. They say that although they respect the show for its fans and making people laugh, and having some smart humor, they ultimately hate the show itself and have absolutely no respect for it writing-wise, namely for its overuse of "gag-humor." They compare the show's reputation among other animated shows to the way serious musicians feel about Justin Timberlake. Justin Randall Timberlake (born January 31, 1981[1]), sometimes known as JT, is an American pop and R&B singer, songwriter, record producer, dancer, and actor. ...


In the episode, fake Family Guy clips are shown depicting nonsensical cutaway jokes with no apparent relation to the plot. Three flashbacks occur and references are made to David Hasselhoff, Knight Rider, Mr. T, Captain Kirk, and Captain and Tennille in less than a minute. Between these clips, the Griffin family is shown making comments about the same subject (Peter inviting his old sweetheart over for dinner, to Lois's disapproval), as if to point out that Family Guy needs to remind its audience what the actual plot is, given that the cutaway jokes are often in no way related to the story.

Don't you ever, EVER compare me to Family Guy, you hear me Kyle? Compare me to Family Guy again and so help me, I will kill you where you stand! Do you have any idea what it's like? Everywhere I go: "Hey Cartman you must like Family Guy, right?" "Hey, your sense of humor reminds me of Family Guy, Cartman!" I am nothing like Family Guy!

—Eric Cartman, Cartoon Wars Part I

"Cartoon Wars Part II" aired April 12, 2006, revealing the Family Guy writers are manatees who take "idea balls" and send them down a shaft; a jumbled collection of ideas then become a Family Guy joke (for example, balls about "Mexico", "Gary Coleman" and "date" become a joke about Peter going on a date with Coleman in Mexico) Cartoon Wars Part II is episode 143 of South Park which aired on April 12, 2006. ... is the 102nd day of the year (103rd in leap years) in the Gregorian calendar. ...

On the other hand, Stan Marsh and Kyle Broflovski—two of the series' more sympathetic characters—admit to being fans. The show even acknowledges the common criticism of South Park being too preachy, through a man who gives Kyle a lift, who comments, "Sure, I know it's just joke after joke, but I like that. At least it doesn't get all preachy and up its own ass with messages, you know?" Stanley Stan Marsh is a fictional character in the animated television series South Park. ...

During his "class day" address at Harvard University on June 7, 2006, Seth McFarlane, in character as Stewie, referred to the "Cartoon Wars" arc with the comment: "...and TV-shows that seem to think they can skate by with random jokes about giant chickens, that have absolutely nothing to do with the overall narrative. The boys at South Park are absolutely correct, those cutaways and flashbacks have nothing to do with the story. They're just there to be funny. That is a shallow indulgence that South Park is quite above, and for that I salute them." Harvard redirects here. ... Stewie redirects here. ...


A short clip of a fake Family Guy episode is also shown in the episode Canada On Strike in which the boys from South Park are watching Terrance and Phillip, but that has been taken off the air because all Canadians are on strike. They then switch to Fox on which Family Guy is currently airing and Cartman says he will never resort to watching that.

You know, it's funny. Matt Groening and I actually have a great relationship. We've talked several times in the past few weeks and joked about this. One day out of nowhere this rumor pops up in papers and magazines. Actually, it was probably one comment that was taken out of context in Blender. Matt's just a cool guy, and fortunately neither of us was ruffled by any of that stuff. We just laughed it off.

At the end of the episode "Missionary: Impossible", Betty White entreats viewers to help keep "this crude, low-brow programming" on the air, while the television next to her says "Family Guy".

The rivalry is very affectionate. Seth MacFarlane, the creator of Family Guy, is a good guy and he does great work, and I certainly have no problem with the perceived competition. If anything, we have the same kind of competition that Pugsley Addams and Eddie Munster had in the old days. They duked it out a few times, and so did Seth and I, but that's probably before your time.
