Family Guy has been on the air for over 20 years, providing countless cultural references and crude humor throughout its run.originally popular clone The Simpsons will blossom into something wonderful and interesting of its own. Despite some legitimate complaints about the quality of the show and its problems over the past few years, it’s still a great show.
Of course, like all great shows, family guy Starting with a humble first season, trying to prove its worth. It might seem a bit rough and it does lean toward family sitcom clichés, but it marks an important stepping stone to some of the greatest animated sitcoms on TV.Here are ten funny and memorable moments from season one Family Guy.
thermostat joke
family guy The first three seasons did their best to make the Griffins a true family, a la The Simpsons. It includes some clichés about dads, most notably every sitcom dad freaking out at anyone touching the thermostat. In the first episode, “Death Has a Shadow,” Meg (voiced by Lacey Chabert, not Mila Kunis) complains that the house is too cold. Louis warns her that Peter hates anyone touching the thermostat.
When Meg tries to turn the knob, Peter appears out of nowhere and asks “who touched the thermostat”. It’s a corny sitcom joke, but it’s still funny. The real twist came when other neighbor dads showed up and asked if their kids had touched the thermostat.
stevie’s birth
There is nothing more beautiful than the miracle of childbirth. This cutaway shows the day our favorite matricide baby was born, Lois reminiscing while planning Stevie’s first birthday. The day was like any other birth, and Peter even felt disgusted throughout the process.
Even more interesting is when Stewie is actually born. Louise is overjoyed at the birth of her baby boy, but that changes when doctors find a map of Europe marked with bombed countries. Obviously, every sin has its roots.
Oh yeah!
It’s always been a joke that cool people break through walls Family Guy for many years. The show’s first episode introduced viewers to this reference and gave birth to one of the best recurring jokes of all time. Peter is put on trial after he committed serious welfare fraud. He was given a severe prison sentence which left everyone exclaiming “Oh no!”
Some “oh no”s and then boom! Kool-Aid rushes in and says his classic catchphrase: “Oh yeah!” It’s pretty random to include something like that in a first episode, but it’s fun.
Stevie’s Sesame Street Phone
“Help me to the Pentagon!” The show’s first few seasons have really made Stewie an evil genius. He spoke with such eloquence that it was as if he memorized a thesaurus before leaving the womb.
His plot for world domination is interesting, especially considering he’s a baby and the constraints that come with it.In the second episode, “I’ve Never Seen a Dead Man,” there’s a cold opening showing Stevie playing a sesame street Call and issue threats to the countless rag dolls on the famous street. It’s hard to believe that Stewie’s marksmanship is at fifth grade level.
The Weirdest Peppermint Ad Ever
a running topic Family Guy Just how much of a driving force television is in most American home culture. The upset started with a “Mintos” ad before John Wilkes Booth attempted to assassinate President Lincoln.This is definitely weird, even for Family Guy But it’s absolutely hilarious.
The most important thing is when the camera cuts to the family discussing the commercial. Louis asks how he can sell Mentos, and Peter decides he must kill Lincoln. Violence in movies and sex on TV are really not good for men.
Meg joins a cult
As Meg struggles to fit in at school, she meets the oddly vivacious Jennifer. Long story short, she’s a member of a cult that recruits teenagers seeking enlightenment or just being insecure, which fits the bill for Meg.
Meg is invited to a “party” that Peter mistakenly lets her attend, even though it’s Stevie’s birthday. Lois is frustrated and Peter decides to get her back. He catches the cult as they prepare to participate in a mass suicide, and he gets Meg out just in time, though neither realizes what’s happening. Peter even commented that the teens faked their deaths to avoid being with Meg.
Peter teaches Meg how to drive
It’s more of Family Guy trying to make Peter a real dad. Louis forces him to spend time with the kids, and Peter helps Meg practice for her driving test. He taught her an important lesson: Anyone who pulls over at a traffic light and looks at her is clearly trying to race.
Her first opponent is an Amish man riding a wagon. Both cars are racing in one of the funniest visual jokes ever, blowing up not only the buggy but also the horse. Nothing spices up a driving lesson like a little cartoon violence.
various jobs of peter
The first episode is absolutely insane because at the beginning Peter is drunk and he is on trial for benefits fraud. After Peter is fired from the toy factory for negligence at work, he regrets the other jobs he tried in this short.
At one job, he was seen as the mascot in a cereal commercial in which he said “I’m Kaka from Cocoa Puffs,” rather than the correct one. Another job is as a sneeze guard at a restaurant salad bar. He’s aggressively enforcing the no-sneezing rule by pointing a gun at customers.He also lost a talent show to the von Trapp family sound of Music.
Cheesy Charlie’s
In “Chitty Chitty Death Bang”, Lois is trying to prepare for Stewie’s first birthday by booking a party location not too dissimilar to the one at Chuck E Cheese. Peter messed up and lost the booking.
To avoid an argument with his wife, Peter decides to concoct an elaborate excuse as to why he doesn’t want to have Stevie’s party there. There’s Nazism, hell, and even Peter turning into the Hulk.This shows how weird it is Family Guy Okay, these aspects are so interesting.
“Peter, I’m holding the melon”
In the fifth episode, “Mind Over Murder,” Peter is under house arrest, builds a bar in his basement, and has Louis sing to people he invites. He doesn’t like the attention she’s getting, and it’s evident from the interaction at the grocery store.
look, Family Guy Really good at misleading and this joke is a perfect example. Several people in the store started commenting on Louis, using a number of euphemisms for breasts, such as “owl” and “melon.” It’s a simple joke, but an effective one nonetheless.
