Take This Job

[bobcobb301 · 31 March 2024]

I am all for these multi-segment stories and trying something unique and different. Family Guy has done a bunch of these and some they have done well and some they have not done so well.

This was kind of a toss up for me. There were some good timely references, a lot of good work from Quagmire here, but a lot of the jokes just did not land. Doing any kind of Die Hard or Lethal Weapon parody in 2024 just feels tired and beneath a show like this.

It is worth watching if you are a Family Guy hardcore fan, but if you are a more casual viewer than this is the kind of episode you can skip to save time.

Genuinely pathetic and embarrassing

Every episode this season besides like 3 episodes are 1/10 quality. This episode was no exception.

It's crazy how every family guy gag now is just the characters saying what the joke is, then the joke happens. They never just leave it alone and trust the gag. A great example of this is in the first segment when "Peter" is skiing and is replaced by an obvious stuntman. Okay, this is an old, basic joke that's been done a hundred times, but then, because the writers think the viewers are the dumbest people imaginable, "Peter" then turns to the camera and says "that was definitely me". Do you get the joke!? Geddit!!???

There's almost exclusively things wrong with the ep. The "production titles" gag for Quagmire's aerobics show snails some producer explaining the upcoming visuals in detail, and then the visuals happens. 3 times in a row. Lazy trash made by hacks.

I'm a completionist, and my ocd forces me to watch every ep (also of South Park and Bobs burgers, but luckily even I gave up on the Simpsons a long time ago), but family guy continues to impress with how bad and inept it is. I would not be surprised at all if all their episodes were written by AI now. In fact, that would be far less embarrassing than the truth. Somehow, with thousands of quality writers desperate to get a start in Hollywood, family guy just hired the worst 15 writers in the world. Absolute cancer.

When was the last time Family Guy released a banger??

I have seen all I need to see from this show. They no longer have the element of surprise, they tell the same joke over and over again but from a slightly different angle and it's no longer funny, or culturally relevant for that matter. Seth & his crew admitted they're no longer directly involved in the production, they come in every week to do the voices but that's it.. They have no part in the creative process and it's become lazy, pointless and stupid. They fell in the same trap as The Simspons.. It's been running for way too long without a valid reason to do so and it should have been canceled about 10 years ago.

I envy those of you who still find humor in this garbage,I truly do.. Wish I was that clueless.
