***has FAMILY GUY ever been funny even once?

Comments

[byebyepride.livejournal.com]

Scrubs is funny. American Dad I have not seen. Family Guy is occasionally funny. I really need to get a TV set that has these shows on it :-(

VERDICT

[boyofbadgers.livejournal.com]

Scrubs is funny but rarely ZOMGLOL funny plus I fancy Elliot.

I have never seen American Dad, and so cannot comment. Family Guy hurts my eyes with its ugliness.

Re: VERDICT

[chezghost.livejournal.com]

I fancied every other girl JD has been out with on the show more than elliot - maybe that's just because you don't get to see that much of them.

[atommickbrane.livejournal.com]

PROVISO THAT: Elliot's new "rzr cut" = grillion x dud.

American Dad brings the roffles too!

[worldofagwu.livejournal.com]

o dear - i've only just joined livejournal and i already feel like a living h m bateman cartoon - "the man who prefers family guy to american dad"...!

[atommickbrane.livejournal.com]

I larf at both! I have seen more FG bcz I live with American ex-pat who larfs obsessively at things like kraft dinners and stuff - she does however not find American Dad funny whereas I am like HOORAY FOR GIANT CHIN MAN ect.

i once saw a bit of scrubs. it's no everybody loves raymond

[chezghost.livejournal.com]

Raymond and JD really do look like brothers tho.

[katstevens.livejournal.com]

I didn't like American Dad as much as Family Guy at first, because the alien was too annoying. However the eponymous Dad is much better than Peter Griffin. Although I totally can't remember said Dad's actual name.

Scrubs is better than Ally McBeal. Oooo check me and my damning faint praise!

ALLY MCSQUEAL

this development is a result of getting a set-top box and being able to watch FRIENDS on infinite repeat i think

as a result i phear i find SCRUBS and AD zomglol funny -- the repetition makes it so

also not funny: "the war at home" (haha the dad was an insane pheobe boyf in friends, she dumped him when he shot a bird for singing in the morning)

[thenipper.livejournal.com]

I got sucked into watching ALL OF FRIENDS on infinite E4 loop and last week it finished and I thought, phew thank goodness that is over. But now they have started from the beginning again AND I STILL CAN'T STOP WATCHING IT.

Blasphemously, I think it stands up to repeated viewing much better than, eg, The Simpsons.

Stevie - ME TOO.

(PS, finally finished s2 of Veronica Mars - WHERE IS THE THIRD SEASON T0RRENT, although frankly I am really quite miffed at it for reasons I will not go into gaaaah!)

[thenipper.livejournal.com]

I think I have all of the third season up to the point where they took if off air for a couple of months. It is pretty good, but not as good as Season 2. But then, what is? (I don't think I have ever been so upset by tv as I was when I thought that Keith was dead!)

[atommickbrane.livejournal.com]

Argh!! I know!! I nearly texted you "OH NO THEY DIDN'T!!!" (but then oh no, they didn't, so it was okay).

[mooxyjoo.livejournal.com]

plane explosion = wtf!!?!? oh no!, rush of speculation abt how they would totally be willing to do a season 3 with no keith (except, keith appearing in NOIR FLASHBACKS).

then - oh well, he's alive, that's nice, but it IS a tv show after all.


flashback/trauma structure seriously missing in s3 : /

[mooxyjoo.livejournal.com]

end of tuesday's new episode = !

[chezghost.livejournal.com]

I do not watch Friends of The Simpsons at all now - having watched both so goddamned much up to 2005.

[chezghost.livejournal.com]

yes The War At Home is bad.

[dubdobdee.livejournal.com]

i am 50/50 on raymond
the only funny thing in ally mcbeal is that the "comedy-aspergers" character is called JOHN CAGE

provisional structuralist analysis: the following role performs the same function in each separate show

the alien (AD)
the posh noel cowardly baby (FG)
"comedy-aspergers" character (AM)
"comedy-aspergers" brother (everyone loves raymond)
janice (F)

[carsmilesteve.livejournal.com]

scrubs is just the wonder years in a hospital and therefore not funny, american dad i've barely seen, but not been overly impressed, not being a huge fan of FG either.

i hate fun.

also i am getting SIMPSONS WITHDRAWAL since nasty richard branston took my sky one away :(((

[dubdobdee.livejournal.com]

the only thing scrubs shares w.TWY is a voiceover and the scrubs voiceover is ALWAYS played for gags -- viz ZAKK BRAFF say something pithily pompous and we immediately see it being contradicted in the background

kelso is my favourite doctor in the history of medical fiction

(to someone who attempted to appeal to kelso's his family feeling:
"my son just got kicked out of hare krishna for being too much of a hippie. the only person i hate more than my son is YOUR SON"

[martinskidmore.livejournal.com]

Scrubs could be improved by removing the more sentimental parts of the voiceover - there are bits not played for laffs. Otherwise I like it a lot. I watched a big of AD and didn't care for it, and have watched FG a couple of times without being impressed.

[jauntyemma.livejournal.com]

I have never seen Scrubs but it seems to be on Paramount etc all the time so when my mat leave starts I will give it a whirl.

[koganbot]

Have not seen any of these except for Simpsons. Are any as good as Rocky and Bullwinkle?

[mooxyjoo.livejournal.com]

having bought r+b s1 dvds last year i say NO

mark, scrubs has been funny; got old and tired and over-sappy long time ago. family guy was once funny. american dad has probably never been funny (except in exceptional isolated moments).

aren't they showing you british people 30 rock yet? you're way behind!
