Family Guy


While Family Guy is not specific to this module, we did view a video clip from an episode, which got me thinking about it. Family Guy has been in trouble several times for its extremely risque content, most notably the episode 'When You Wish Upon A Weinstein' which was considered anti-semitic.


However, in my opinion, Family Guy often relies on its ability to shock the audience as they laugh almost in disbelief at some of the things that are said. For example there are allusions to paedophillia, domestic abuse and racism use fairly regularly within the show.
