Family Guy, anyone?

[Craig Stewart]

He Britta'd it.

[Walel Himmler]

This is shit.

I have never in my life seen four minutes of badly forced bits. I mean come on...some nonsensical bit about Goldie Hawn's son, dressed like Crockett from Miami Vice? And Chevy so obviously dropping the cake and you can see Beardy already hauling another one out before Chevy even drops the first cake - boy, we literally DID see that one coming. I mean, where was the double-drum beat and cymbal crash after that?

I feel bad just watching this. What a bad show.

Lets compare this to the Ellen show :3

[JayWelton92]

'an unrelated clip' from family guy made me curious

[Moppy1988]

Really doesn't seem much worse than current late night talk shows.

[Ranch Mubay]

On second thought, studying Telemundo wasn't the way to go.

too bad he's an asshole who uses the N word on set

[renusingh15]

I know it was railed back then, but was it that much worse than Sajack's, River's or even Miller's attempt? Even if you look back at the really successful shows of the 70's and 80's, they might be seen under produced by todays standards.
