"It's not a, it's not racist Guys, it's 21st century racism. It's racism in light of itself. The only reason I'm saying these things Is because the stigmas about race are already there And I'm just playing off of that And they understand that. So if after the show You see like a black guy beating me up He's doing it ironically, okay?"
I don't think Family Guy is attempting to be ironic. What made FG's humor so different at first was that the Griffin Family were all huge shit bags. When Peter or Lois said something racist it was because they actually WERE racists. The show worked because the audience actually liked the characters despite them all being awful people and that was fun and different for a 'family' animated show. Of course NOW it all relies on shock value so there's nothing fun left but I don't think irony factors into it.
Isn't this about the stage where someone starts bawling about how he's soooo tired of all this "political correctness" because he can't throw his bigotry around without half the room getting mad at him?
"I'm being ironic and it's TOTALLY funny." Aw, modest people are always their own harshest critics, aren't they? "My breath doesn't stink! My puppy LOVES it!"

ReplyDeleteWhat a cunt!
ReplyDelete(I'm being ironic.)
Two wrongs don't make a right, dude.
DeleteSometimes you just have to call a spade a spade (or in this instance, a cunt a cunt).
DeleteAnd that's in no way ironic, not even in the completely-incorrect hipster definition of ironic.
Irony... smokescreen of the 21st Century
ReplyDeleteHahaha, that's so funny. Except-really, you're just a racist assbag.
ReplyDeleteHey, that apology works for Family Guy since how many years? 10 or something?
ReplyDeleteDefending with a reference to Family Guy doesn't make it any better.

DeleteI think he was more critizising FAMILY GUY, than defending her.
DeleteDid she really have dredlocks and a nose ring? Sounds like a Occuturd.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Anon. Heck! That excuse works for all of Seth McFarlane's shows.
Whoa, they film "Girls" in your shop?
ReplyDeleteThe fly buzzing around her head is a nice touch.

ReplyDeleteI'm not racist, but... I am. I am really racist.
