BRAND NEW AND SEALED
Like John Waters' shock-value comedies of yore, Family Guy keeps moving the taste-be-damned line. "You laughed at that?" these episodes spanning seasons six and seven challenge viewers. "Okay, then laugh at this!"
AIDS, cancer, incest, September 11, and the films of Matthew
McConaughey are all grist for the mill. Though it has taken its lumps
from the South Park contingent, Family Guy merrily stays
true to its absurdist, arbitrary muse. The stories are ludicrous: James
Woods steals Peter Griffin's identity; Brian discovers he has a son;
Stewie, Brian, and nebbish pharmacist Mort time travel back in time to
Hitler's Germany; and Peter discovers Jesus Christ working at a used
record store. You got a problem with that? "Go on the Internet and
complain," Brian suggests. The pop-culture references are as ever
arcane. "That's more of a letdown than Fruit Stripe gum," Peter remarks
at one point. And the politically incorrect jokes can be jaw-droppingly
wrong, as witness the game show Are You Smarter Than a Hispanic Maid,
the flamboyant gay stereotypes flaunted in the episode "Family Gay,"
and a bit in which hearing-impaired actress Marlee Matlin tries
unsuccessfully to connect with Moviefone. And how does a series on Fox
get away with the moment when Stewie finds a McCain/Palin campaign
button on a Nazi uniform? From Dane Cook to Jay Leno, Family Guy
is always up for celebrity bashing, but some are in on the joke. In
"Family Gay," Meredith Baxter spoofs her signature women-in-crisis
Lifetime movies, and Seth Rogen good-naturedly supplies his own voice
when Peter is injected with the Seth Rogen gene that "gives you the
appearance of being funny even though you haven't actually done
anything funny." And kudos to Andy Dick for his room-clearing cameo in
"Tales of a Third Grade Nothing."
