Overtime Posted December 31, 2007 Author Share Posted December 31, 2007 my gf is constantly watching this show. ive banned it and seinfeld in my presence. if it were not for pop culture, family guy would have no show bc all it does is reference funny things that already happened in other movies/shows/music videos/etc. without actually being original on their own. anyone can do a show where 75% of it is referencing what was awesome when you grew up. this is what overtime is referring to as "recycled humor" i believe and agree with. the other 25% consists of flashbacks and those over-extended periods such as when someone falls and hurts themselves, and the character says "ow" for about two minutes of a 22 minute show. thats just wasting time. its the same as when someone says "like" in a conversation a million times. its because they have nothing else to say so they just make noise out of the holes in their face. yeah, i more meant that they use the same type jokes, such as the dude falling down and say ow for two minutes, in mulitple shows. But your description also holds true for this crap bag show Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GamblersGrin Posted December 31, 2007 Share Posted December 31, 2007 i just think seinfeld is a scumbag. dude dated a high school for some time then stole some guys wife away from him while he and the lady were on their honeymoon. thats a shitty move. when bill clinton makes these type of moves, he is killed by the media and right wing fucknuts. seinfeld gets a pass bc hes supposedly "funny." fuck him.

Theo Huxtable. Posted December 31, 2007 Share Posted December 31, 2007 seinfield is ok, only ok, elaine and seinfeld ruin the show, george/kramer awesome yeah i agree seinfeld is overrated. i saw that dude doing standup and it wasn't funny at all. he focuses on the "hey you ever notice" type shit, and then he goes into an in-depth intelligent/witty evaluation about a certain thing or circumstance, where you gotta think about it and say to yourself "oh yeah that's true, haha". it's like he's not even aiming to be funny, he just wants to point out stuff and evaluate the witty factors of it all and we're supposed to laugh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Qawee Posted January 1, 2008 Share Posted January 1, 2008 family guy is usually hit or miss for me, but i think they usually have at least one pretty funny joke in every show. i think the writers must have a room with all movies from the 80s and 90s that they watch to come up with jokes though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
