someone showed me an episode of family guy where they made a reference to some old song
and so they played a taping of it
you're thinking "oh like 20 seconds of it for the gag"
no
they played the whole 4 or so minute song
like

No comedic timing is the whole joke.
It's supposed to be ironic.
So fat bitches can laugh at it obnoxiously for the whole goddamn 4 minutes.
And Seth McFarlane laughs at you because this is paying for his new yacht and you are sitting in a hellhole in ohio and listening to dumb drunks laughing at nothing for four minutes straight while he fucks models.

I remember way back in the day when Family Guy was brand new.
I read an article about how it was being all bold and clever by not having to pack entire episodes with real content and how they could afford to waste whole minutes on one terrible gag. (The gag being when peter fell down and skinned his knee and cried about it for like 5 solid minutes) which apparently during primetime tv was a big deal
I'd heard they were going to be doing a live show.
Or was that last week?
Either way. Way to drop the ball, Fox.
Very few cartoons are broadcast live, it's a terrible strain on the animators' wrists
the premise of the first episode this season was that they were doing a live show, a cartoon first. I watched it because I hated american dad season 1 and now it's great. Cleveland has not improved as much but it was actually okay. Julia Roberts died during the last scene and they were like "do we keep acting or do we call an ambulance" and the studio audience wasn't sure if it was part of the show
the best part of the live episode was when their daughter stormed in through the fourth wall drunk and started screaming about how they cut her plot out of the show
don't need any content when you can have a song go on for 2-5 minutes
oh yeah, I even said that earlier in the thread.
But it's kind of at the point where it happens so often that it's almost expected, I was gonna keep that quote tree going with more all caps titles of numbers, but then I realized it would take too long to list them all.

Family guy stopped being funny after it went mainstream.
I watched it back when it was underground, man.
