The Worst Family Guy Cutaway Gag Ever

1 minute and 13 seconds of nothing but a still image with audio playing over it. No jokes, no nothing. Just a waste of time...

[@WooHooLadttv]

Honestly I was smiling until he started singing/talking, like there are hundreds of ways to make a punchline work there, have him breathe then cut away right before he sings, maybe even have the machine die before he sings, you could even do something wholesome where Lois joins and play into the absurdity. Idk im not a writer, but as a viewer that's what would have made me enjoy this moment.

[@Ajthelizard1100]

It’s just because of how long it is dragged out of nothing really happening, also I know the animation has been like this for awhile but it would’ve been funnier if he was more lively

[@RafaelBevacqua]

even you was brought here

[@gagejoseph91]

The point of the joke is that he knowingly spent that much time building up nothing. If the machine broke, it would have been less funny because the whole setup for the joke was that Lois was annoyed with his karaoke phase, so having the machine break wouldn't be Peter's fault, and therefor the "Peter is annoying" setup wouldn't have resolved. And if the scene cut away before he sang, then there's no joke because, again, the humor is in the anticlimax. Now, to the uninitiated, "anticlimax" sounds like cutting away would fit perfectly, right? Well no. Anticlimax requires an actual conclusion. The point of anticlimax isn't to avoid a conclusion, it's to provide an unsatisfying conclusion. Also, why would Lois join? Again, the cutaway was prefaced with "Peter is annoying" so Lois joining would both make no sense and not really fulfill any joke format. Long wait, then she joins. How are those two things connected in any way? Long wait, wait not worth it. That's the connection. That's the joke. Also see: kzbin.info/www/bejne/e17bmauJap1ki8U Except in this case, the anticlimax is the fact that you know exactly what's coming and it takes forever to get there and the thing is clearly not the big deal it is being made out to be.

@@ChuckECheesesKid9000 Heavy sarcasm is implied although I didn't say I wasn't taking it as a 'good joke', The entire comment was meant to be sarcastic. but it's ok if you didn't understand the joke. My dog burping would be a better cutaway gag than this shit.

[@linkgcuk]

It inspires a reaction and that’s entertainment! The fact that I actually searched for this specific cutaway and found someone had uploaded it just goes it show it had an affect! To me there is a number of things that make this funny; the anti-climactic build-up, the observation that the quality of most karaoke machines are piss-poor and that you think this is worse than Conway Twitty 😂 there’s something to be said for Family Guy always sticking to its own rules and not selling out to the network’s demands. This in itself is something the network has then been able to package and market which is probably why they can get away with so many 1% gags. There is something very Dada about these jokes but they are an art form! Reminds me of Andy Kaufman which is probably why I enjoy them so much 😂

This is what's called a shaggy dog joke. It's purposefully long winded and anticlimactic. The joke is that they managed to hold your attention for such a long time for no reason at all. It's anti-humor. It's not stupid or lazy. It's completely intentional and designed to fuck with the audience. I don't like shaggy dog humor, but I can still recognize it for what it is. EDIT: cry harder. Your salt nourishes me.

[@hannahgarcia8645]

I feel like that's the bane of Family Guy's existence. Didn't know its humor had a distinct genre; I'd just thought it was dry humor that was executed poorly. A few of such jokes would be fine, but in my opinion, they're what the show depends on to make its audience laugh, and with them being used so frequently, they just get old pretty quickly, as does the show, ultimately.

[@tayk.t.523]

It's still a crappy joke though.

[@bobbybingo4506]

Yeah, I've noticed that they seem to be intentionally making them last for a while. remember that one scene from S18 E1 where meg's boyfriend's head gets decapitated, and when meg comes to save them from the sinking ship, his head falls off again and Chris has to try and throw it back up? Here's the scene in case you have no clue what I'm talking about: kzbin.info/www/bejne/m3awemOfmNyDfsk&ab_channel=CorSal

[@purmello]

It's not a shaggy dog joke. A shaggy dog joke relies on the floor being ripped out from under you, with every thread of the story being thrown out with the too simple punchline. This isn't a shaggy dog joke because you can tell from the first second what the punchline is going to be. The vocals are going to kick in, and he's going to say "yes." Think about Norm Macdonald's famous "Moth at the Podiatrist" joke, and imagine how unfunny it would be if, instead of the minutes of well written dialogue in the middle, it was just, "A moth goes into a Podiatrist's office," Sixty seconds of complete silence, "because the light was on."
