I have a confession to make.

I'm betting $150 that he says "The Stewie Griffin Movie". Any takers?Snake Plissken wrote:Dude, then give us an example of what you think is a good movie.ratperson665 wrote:I didn't like Seven Samurai one bit!

And it's just pure irony, cause the show Family Guy itself is nothing but an un-original 26 minute farce that homages movies like Lethal Weapon and Blade Runner every 10 seconds. If it wasn't for even more famous elements of pop culture that show wouldn't exist, and the idiots who enjoy it would just probably watch the Simpsons instead.OtakupunkX wrote:I'm betting $150 that he says "The Stewie Griffin Movie".

Yeah, it totally ripped off Blade Runner and Willow.OtakupunkX wrote:So kind of on the subject but not really, I watched Lethal Weapon director Richard Donner's latest film, 16 Blocks, about a week ago with some friends of mine.
It was kind of disapointing. I didn't pay for it though, so I'm not going to complain.

Sitcoms are supposed to be funny not original and "Family Guy" is funny. "The Simpsons" used to be funny but after season 12 they really declined in quality. Also "The Simpsons" tries to be a family show and as such it misses plenty of opportunities for humor. "Stripes", "Caddyshack" and "Animal House" were R-rated comedies. They were allowed to push the envelope. When they saw an opportunity for humor they took it! They didn't care about being innocent; all they cared about was being funny! It's the same with "Family Guy".Snake Plissken wrote:
