@jason lee you are correct on that subject however most modern family guy skits just aren’t well executed compare to classic episodes due to context and execution of the joke, and what I’m saying is yh you can make disrespectful or crude jokes but if executed poorly your just making yourself look like an asshole or just an idiot

@jason lee I very much do understand how they work. I was saying in response to PurpleFury that he looks nothing like him, which his claim was that he did look like him, or was based off a photo of him. A caricature is at least supposed to bear enough resemblance to the original character that it’s at least somewhat obvious by looking at them what they are trying to “represent”. If you remove all context from this and if you were to show me a picture of this caricature, I wouldn’t personally it looked like Thom Yorke.

Family Guy used to be great, but this is just intolerable. I don't believe that there's a line that can be crossed in comedy, but needlessly mocking someone for their appearance (specifically a part of their appearance that they couldn't change without serious cosmetic surgery) is bullying. I'm confident Thom himself wouldn't care, and might even find it funny, so i'm sure he doesn't feel like a bully victim, but if you take this exact same joke and apply it to a working-class, petrol station employee with a facial disfigurement from a burn or any other such incident, it could be life ruining and completely confidence destroying. My sense of humour is pretty bleak and I really don't like this culture of people being recreationally offended, but this is just nasty and generates zero laughs, so pointless ultimately.

I still find it, funny that South Park of all shows actually got the band to themselves and did not make fun of his eye

[@filbertfiddlesticks]

big radiohead fan here, and this wouldve been a lot funnier if: -they drew thom yorke more realistically than made him look like he had a stroke -they made him voice acted by either a professional british voice actor or thom yorke himself (like what south park did) -they did research and did an actually funnier cutaway than this

Didn’t even make me smile for a second, as a Radiohead fan, this is by far the worst thing I’ve seen that’s considered a “joke” they’re literally bashing on Thom Yorke for no reason other than “haha depressed guy have bad looking eyes, that funny. And it’s also because he had bad eyes.” If you’re gonna make a derogatory joke, make it something like an actual semblance of a joke that has a good punchline. I feel insulted for even watching this.

[@stanton2223]

this is a fine example of family guy trying their hardest to make fun of something and piss someone off but no one finds it funny and its just embarrassing for family guy😂😂the series died off long ago

Yea nah simpsons is so much worse than family guy. People shit on FG constantly but it has its moments here and there. Not like the simpsons where every episode past season 20 is just boring empty so social commentary

[@llamasarus1]

The Family Guy writing staff somehow thinks a joke can be funny merely because it's a pop culture reference. Either I'm made to feel like a lesser cultured person if I don't understand it or the writers are snobs for expecting me to.
