Have you heard ?????

Whenever someone mentions that song and thinks it's funny, I know that person has never seen "Pink Flamingos"

I was tricked into watching that horror fest in college, and I'm pretty sure it scarred me for life. It certainly ruined that song for all eternity.
 
Buy Brown Bird ;) Its coming :)
 
David and his birds :D. Pretty to look at but I'm stearing clear of Polly. She's got a temper.
 
I just lost 1 minute and seventeen seconds of my life (not including the time to post this and think of what to write).

:D
 
I can't stand the show but that was funny! The song is a classic. Somebody find the performance from the old Arthur Smith show.
 
Actually a friend just loaned me the DVD's of season 1 and 2, I just completed it this past weekend. A decent show, the baby is too funny.
 
That show appeals to the basest form of humor. It's sophomoric at best. Every time I watch it I'm disgusted and am sure many cells have evaporated from my cerebellum. If ever a television show should be the victim of a book burning equivalent, this show would be it. It's left leaning and repugnant. I'm quite sure when I watch it again tonight on reruns I'll be just as offended as the first time I saw it.
 
Family guy used to have some pretty good moments, but the recent seasons have become too formulaic with the goofy non-sequitors and dragging-on-forever running gags. Yeah, it's very sophomoric, and depends heavily on pop culture references, but when done well the shock value can be really entertaining. Family guy is pretty hit or miss in that sense. More miss than hit recently.

For animated shows, I like Futurama best - lots of witty science jokes, intelligent humor, and generally well thought out character and plot development. It's like all the good writing ability from the early seasons of The Simpsons transferred over to Futurama, and the show took a decidedly more intelligent approach.

I also enjoy South Park quite a lot, which, while often even more offensive than Family Guy, is an equal opportunity offender. They pick on liberals, conservatives, people of every religion and every ethnicity. They point out hypocrisies and the ridiculousness of our society in sometimes incredibly subtle ways. The show is, in my mind, at its best when it's doing social commentary, where it often points out how idiotic people on BOTH sides of the arguments are, by blindly following an ideology rather than thinking for themselves. Anything that blasts the goofy partisan walls the politicians and media have built up to keep us as a people divided is OK by me.


Wow, that was a lot of commentary for a thread about a cartoon fat guy singing an old song. Have you guys heard about the bird?
 
I like this version better. :D :thumbup:

As I was watching the Family Guy clip I couldn't help thinking about the Full Metal Jacket clip.

I used to like Family Guy and watched the first couple of seasons. When it came back after being off air it just wasn't the same. I do have to agree about Futurama. Great show.
