[@punprincess3214]

Fugget About It is like you took the ending of Goodfellas, mixed in The Sopranos, drizzled in Family Guy, then topped it with all the Canadian, Italian, and mafia stereotypes. And it's very clever! I think it's a cool break from the usual family guy ripoffs. Yeah Jimmy Falcone (Mcdougal) is pretty similar to Peter Griffin, but unlike Peter, Jimmy is a proper dad that wants the best for his kids, loves and stays loyal to his wife, and actually puts in effort where it counts, like getting his GED in one episode, he also protects his eldest daughter Theresa from people that would no doubt exploit her slutty nature, that was actually the reason he threw Don Gambini out the window. And while the son Petey is kind of the family punching bag, everyone wants the best for him, they want him to toughen up to protect himself, gain confidence, and many of his family members are supportive of his actions, even if they see him as a wuss, compared to how the Griffins treat Meg, Petey isn't bullied to the point where he's suicidal like Meg. Gina is like Stewie but she's honestly a lot more interesting because unlike Stewie, she never strayed from her chaotic nature throughout the show's run, she still has childish behavior like she's not good at drawing, she has a teddy bear, she plays hopscotch, she asks her parents about things that she needs advice on, her mom even had to give her a talk on letting something you love go free when Gina befriended a Canadian goose. Cookie is a lot better than Lois, she may have been a stripper before marrying Jimmy but she settled down and hardly ever engages in those types of actions, she's loving and protective of her kids, and she's aware of her little girl's violent tendencies and reins her in when she can. Cheech is kinda like Brian but actually likable, if Cheech replaced Brian in Family Guy, it'd be great. Theresa is just a depraved teenager, but she still has a good heart when it counts, she helps her brother, gets along well with her sister, she's a bit like Elle Woods but not as smart or dedicated to something like law, but she knows how to use her social skills and looks to fix a problem This show had a lot of potential, it deserved better

[@ScintillatingSusie]

As someone who watched the entire show. The characters aren't as one note as you think. Sure Theresa, Petey, and Cheech are pretty basic. But even then they are pretty fun. Petey isn't even just the family punching bag. It's why he is the punching bag that makes him entertaining. He is the only one that actually has a set of morals and is self-righteous. It makes him an interesting vocal point in any episode he is the star of. Jimmy may seem like just the fat dumb dad, but look at the reason why he sold out the rest of the mob. He did it to protect his family. He loves his family and would do anything to protect them. Despite Petey being the punchbag, there are episodes where Jimmy goes out of his way to try and connect with him or help him. Case in point: Jimmy once hired a prostitute to get Petey laid so Petey would get out of his depression. It ended up costing him a whole lot of money, but he kept doing it. Then when everything fails at the end, he has a heart-to-heart with Petey about his struggles. Cookie is more than a struggling mom. She has plenty of moments with her kids and tries to help them with whatever trouble they are going through. And believe it or not, she is an actual mother. She gets upset at Petey for sinning, she grounds Theresa for her slutty behavior, and is doing her best with Gina's violent nature. She has rivalries and genuinely loves Jimmy instead of just being with him for the sake of the status quo. There are a few times when they get into big fights, mainly when Jimmy does something stupid that ruins something special for her. But it ends up being a testament to their love. As Jimmy manages to make it up to her with a big grand act. Now Gina. Again, at first glance she seems like a female Stewie Griffin. And yeah, she is. But unlike Stewie, she doesn't have any baby moments. But she does have some tenderness to her. Like going out of her way to protect Cheech, even though she hates him since he is the reason they are in witness protection. So half of the main characters are one-note, but the other characters are really well fleshed out and make the show interesting. As for the comedy of the show, that is subjective but I like it. I have always been a fan of the riskier humor.

I think this is a case where Saber's viewpoint is different from most people because he's a critic; critic opinions can sometimes differ from general audiences because they train themselves to measure things on a different scale. That doesn't make his viewpoint any more or less valid than anyone else's: he's just looking at it from the viewpoint of someone who's "seen it all". Like, this show might be enjoyable for most people. Heck, the review even did the opposite of the intended effect for me and made me want to check it out. But it's understandable why Saber would be personally weary of the broader archetypes, because he's taken many deep dives into much worse shows that drag them deeper into the ground. Probably one of his weaker reviews, though, I will agree with that. (Again: it had the exact opposite of the intended effect for me.)

I agree to an extent, but no one can deny that he has definitely lacked research in this review. He is missing large chunks of context that would not take too long at all to find that would help him understand some aspects in which he negatively spoke about.

[@RaspBerryPies]

@@BigNavy8175 Care to be explain them to me? I’m really curious now?! I love the premise and want to know more lol Also for the original commenter I don’t think Sabers point was to turn you off from the show I don’t think that’s the point of any critic. I think it’s just to express his own view on the show and critique it, not try to sway anyone one way or another. I haven’t finished the video yet so maybe he’ll say something about how you should never watching the show but so far it’s just his opinion. So yeah don’t feel bad about that or anything I don’t think Saber was trying to get a certain reaction or anything.

i actually enjoy fugget about it a lot, even more than family guy sometimes. It’s a lot less vile in terms of racism but some of the gore stuff is funny. The family actually loves each other and they actually care and another thing that’s interesting to me is that the characters know what each other are doing, whereas in family guy they basically don’t communicate and whenever there’s a side plot the characters in the other plots don’t seem to know what they’re doing

See, the 'vagina' part would be funny if they had it said one time per episode, in some quick-paced dialogue, and never call it out. Let the viewers doubletake at first, before eventually going on egg hunts for that one moment in each episode that it happens, since none of the characters react to it, so it becomes easily missed if you're not looking for it.

"Lavoro in nero così non devo pagare le tasse", "vado a buttare il divano vecchio in campagna così non devo chiamare i monnezzari", "mo' chiamo l'amico medico così salto la fila", è un po' un tratto distintivo di noi italiani quello di fare i furbi

I think they missed an opportunity with the amish episode. Coulda made her take off her makeup and shit because that definitely wouldnt be allowed (pretty sure they just couldn't be bothered to make a new face rig though) but after they coulda put in some sexy hyjinks and she could slowly realise that she's perfectly beautiful without all that crap, and change as a person when she gets back to society.

[@CriticalCipher]

Well see every reviewer is reviewing so when they watch it they aren't turming their brain down, not saying saber doesn't turn his brain down to watch something, like he never really reviewed mlp but watched all of it so thats likely was his wind down show.

Canadian animation in general has been reviewed poorly through the years because of Cartoon Network rerunning Johnny Test like crazy, which wasn't even that bad if you could ignore seasons 4 through 6.

[@legendarybubbles4567]

Saber did watch it all the way through though. He makes sure to watch through all of it before making his reviews. Though I definitely understand where you are coming from. I hate it when people don’t give something a chance or attempt to watch it before making harsh judgment. For example, the show High Guardian Spice, I had heard it was terrible, so I ended up watching the entire thing. Everyone was right, it was awful, but I wanted to be sound in my judgment lol.

[@asinglebraincell6584]

I think critics are always going to be a little disconnected from the audience because they have to consume a lot of media then figure out how to dissect and talk about it. I personally think dumb fun is an art onto itself and it doesn't need a ridiculous budget or high ambitions to be entertainment I suppose you could even argue if a show or movie or album helps you turn your brain off it moves from something to be critiqued and becomes almost a practical form of art, like ambient music haha

Random but I can't believe Saber didn't know about the Mountie uniform XD it's like the most stereotyped thing out there about us Canadians. Like, the red uniform is the red surge, the traditional attire of the RCMP [Royal Canadian Mounted Police for those not in the know] and while it's not worn day to day now and instead typically used as ceremonial/formal attire in the organization, it is very much a huge Canadian symbol and probably the most recognizable thing from the country outside of our flag. It's also why he rides on horseback! Again while not done now except on ceremony, he's not on horseback for "quirky reasons", it's because that's a stereotype- the Mountie in the red surge on horseback. We love to joke on it here! In my city there's even basically a "Canadian merch store" with a cutout of a cartoon mountie. It even has moose pulshies in the red surge and hat lol. So yeah, don't blame Saber for not knowing that, but I am pretty surprised. Also to be fair to the show, the style reminds me much more of Total Drama [which is also Canadian] than it does Family Guy.
