Family Guy hardly pioneered animation for adults, but no one can deny the hilarity of this crude show.

Family Guy hardly pioneered animation for adults, but no one can deny the hilarity of this crude show. Who would have thought an irreverent cartoon about a family with a slovenly patriarch, a British baby, and a talking dog would have such staying power? The show has provided us with many a great (and usually inappropriate) quote. Find mine below, and tell me what your favorite lines are!

  • "Lois! Lois! Lois! Lois! Lois! Mom! Mom! Mom! Mommy! Mommy! Mommy! Mama! Mama! Mama! Ma! Ma! Ma! Ma! Mum! Mum! Mum! Mum! Mummy! Mummy! Mumma! Mumma! Mumma!" — Stewie
  • "Giggity." — Quagmire
  • "You wanna know what's really amazing? I haven't brushed my teeth in three days, and no one has said a thing!" — Peter

Seth MacFarlane Has Stewie Throwing a Lot of Punches For Family Guy

Family Guy creator Seth MacFarlane has created his very own YouTube channel to beg the question: Where's My Emmy?.

Family Guy creator Seth MacFarlane has created his very own YouTube channel to beg the question: Where's My Emmy?. (First of all, Seth, this is the first time Family Guy has been nominated for best comedy series, so take it easy). Anyway, the website has been rolling out video clips showing Stewie and Brian arguing over the nominees for best comedy series, taking digs at each of the shows. The videos are basically exactly the same except for some of the dialogue particular to each nominated series, and they're so heavy on cartoon violence that they actually make me cringe more than laugh.

Check 'em out below and tell me what you think!

Is Family Guy the Best Animated Primetime Comedy on TV?

There was a bit of a gasp heard yesterday when the 2009 Primetime Emmy Awards nominations were announced and Family Guy was listed, right alongside shows like 30 Rock and Entourage, in the Outstanding Comedy Series category.


There was a bit of a gasp heard yesterday when the 2009 Primetime Emmy Awards nominations were announced and Family Guy was listed, right alongside shows like 30 Rock and Entourage, in the Outstanding Comedy Series category. It's a triumphant moment for all animated comedies everywhere to be recognized even this much by the Emmys. But as cool as this is (and it really is cool), I have to wonder: is Family Guy the animated show most worthy of an Emmy nomination?

What do you think? Does it make sense that Family Guy is up there with other big-shot comedy series? Or do you wish a different animated series were nominated?

Buzz Gift Guide: A Bounty For Boys

Welcome back to my Buzz Gift Guide series for all the entertainment lovers in your life.

Welcome back to my Buzz Gift Guide series for all the entertainment lovers in your life. On Monday I dug up some gifts for the little ones in your life and today I'm brainstorming ideas for the teenage dudes in your world who are pop culture sponges.

If I had a teenage brother I'd insist he own a complete set of Indiana Jones DVDs including (but more importantly, not limited to) this year's fourth addition to the franchise. In regard to other franchises, I've noticed that some teenage guys (and by "some" I mean my younger cousins) are always quoting Family Guy and The Simpsons and might have fun with these characters to stick up on their walls.

For the wannabe rock star in your life there's always Guitar Hero World Tour which expands the game from a lone guitar player to a full band that includes drums (it actually looks like a lot of fun!). You may know a young lad who enjoys that Shaun White snowboarding video game, so he might like listening to the pretty cool soundtrack from it, and finally, I'm sure many teens would be stoked to own Iron Man.
