Even I wanted to throttle that pink lady :P

That description makes no sense.
-
I though he said "is your son sown in rug", which made the rest of the dialog rather odd.

@Bean77 I'll admit it's formulaic, but it has an air of unpredictability about it - as a Python might say, it's very silly. In fact, I think family guy is a show where Monty Python has been very influential - that's a guess, but I'll bet it's a good one.

How can you imply that The Family Guy isn't formulaic? They do so many callbacks to obscure jokes and random cutaways to flashbacks with no relevance to the storyline that the show is nearly incomprehensible. I wouldn't compare it to british comedy, ever.

@Namaechan Now why wud they want to do that ...that wud completely make it not democratic ..
And besides even if the decisions are of the majority ...the minority still could do things about it ...democracy is based on egalitarianism ..They could make riots and debates and challenge these ppl ..god forbid they cud even make a new country ..sure developments could be made ..But any better governance wud for sure be a derivative of democracy
-
@paulthecoolest Not when the majority of the population decide to do do something incredibly stupid. Like voting in nazis into government. It's just the best form of government available, but that's all, really.
-
democracy is terrific rather than terrifying

@monkeymox You forgot to mention Curb Your Enthusiasm. Are you nuts? And the American comedies you mention were mostly cartoons. Nighty Night FTW.

Really? Hmm... the formula for many American comedy shows:
1) Feed line
2) Well thought out joke that the average person would not be able to come up with in so short a time
3) canned laughter
4) repeat
5) brain tries to melt in self defence
Don't get me wrong, I like a fair few American comedies. South Park, Scrubs, The Simpsons, Family Guy... the ones that don't follow the format given above; shows that tend towards the dark, the wacky, the intelligent. Like British comedy, really.
