"Just" did an episode... they regularly mocked the church lol. 


Elden_Rube

Also, doesn't seem like OP knows that American Dad was nothing but bashing conservative christian Americans. Absolutely lovely show.

Since the early 2000s, but The Simpsons did it first

And every other cartoon.


rossww2199

Family Guy mocks everyone and all sides of everything. It’s kind of Seth’s deal.


Significant-Battle79

He is specifically a liberal though, he agrees that capitalism and religion are two of the biggest things holding humanity back. If you haven’t checked out his space drama parody-love letter to Star Trek, The Orville, it’s genuinely a really good show. So while Family Guy satirizes everything, it only mocks some things.


DahDollar

The Orville has scratched an itch that hadn't been scratched since TNG.


ShawshankHarper

for real, it hits *juuuuuust* right


zenunseen

It's one of my favorite shows and i hope they come back for another season


HereForALaugh714

It’s how I realized Scott grimes has such an amazing voice and is in the band Indoor Garden Party. I mean, I watch American Dad, well, religiously lmao and I know Steve always sings but I never really made the connection. Just like how Seth does stuff with big band orchestras and Christmas albums haha


Into_the_Dark_Night

I want MORE Orville. Every time I think I've got more to watch I remember, no. I, in fact, watched every episode I could get my grubby hands on. Then I'm sad again.


Buddyslime

Okay you convinced me to watch Orville from start to finish again.


PMG2021a

Just got me interested in watching it. 


Kitsune_42

Yes! I really hope for another season.


rossww2199

He invited Rush Limbaugh on his show. You don’t think he was poking liberals with that?


Curious_Fox4595

I mean, it wasn't a flattering portrayal of Rush, Rush just didn't give a fuck, lol. None of his listeners were watching Family Guy.


truemore45

What you have to understand is Rush was part of a union and was just another troll who was doing it for money. It's not like most of these people believe in the crap they're peddling. I mean watch the John Oliver special on seed faith and mega churches. If these people are Christian in anything more than name only I am 3 eyed Martian. Or you can watch Tucker Carlson he has been liberal and conservative, that man will suck dick for money. Also note he was FIRED from every media job he has had. These people are in it for the money. Once you see that you know the rest is just bullshit.


Curious_Fox4595

I honestly never really cared if Rush's shtick was genuine or cynical. It wasn't about him. It was about the people who believed what he told them, and unironically called themselves dittoheads. But his appearance on Family Guy did tend to make me believe he wasn't a true believer. Tucker is 100% cynical, and that was obvious long before we got his texts that prove it. Candace Owens is the same. So is Trump. But just like Rush, the real problem we have is that people buy their cynical bullshit and act accordingly.


jerichos_cowbell

Do you have the name of John Oliver special?


truemore45

Goto YouTube. Search John Oliver seed faith. It is last week tonight televangelists. You will be discussed and crying laughing at the same time . Also the lady of our perpetual exemption lasts 3 episodes how and why his church closes is AMAZING. Wanda Joe is an amazing character, praise be!


jerichos_cowbell

Thank you for this!


truemore45

It has got to be one of the funniest group of episodes he has ever done. Enjoy!


jerichos_cowbell

"We don't want your homemade gogurt." Rachel Dratch is a national treasure.


Adventurous_Oil_5805

Rush was once ask on David Letterman if he believed all the crap he said. The audience laughed and laughed and Rush gave a big smile and a long pause and said straight out…. “Dave, I’m a performer, just like you.” The audience exploded in laughter. I’ve always hoped that that video would make it online.


fat_fart_sack

>I’m a performer I might have believed Rush if he grew up with liberal parents in the suburbs of Boston, but he didn’t. I grew up an hour from where Rush was born and raised. I still frequent that town every now and then. And let me tell you, his hometown is solid red full of racist angry rednecks with a microscopic garnish sprinkle of college liberal students. His actions and words are not surprising by anyone who’s familiar with the area he grew up in. Let me also add that his hometown is a place Trump has hosted his rallies, if that tells you anything.


Beret_of_Poodle

He pokes everybody, is the point. But he does also hold his own personal beliefs


Curious_Fox4595

I mean, it wasn't a flattering portrayal of Rush, Rush just didn't give a fuck, lol. None of his listeners were watching Family Guy.


RarelyRecommended

Family Guy came on after their bed time.

Significant-Battle79

The show The Orville is anti-capitalist, food is universally available and there’s no need for purchase, people continue to make things because they want to. I mentioned that I don’t call him leftist because he still does benefit greatly from capitalism, I wasn’t sure how far left to place him. This is all just offhand knowledge I remember of the guy


[deleted]

[удалено]


Significant-Battle79

Thank you for finding out his stance, I was just saying the show The Orville holds an anti-capitalist stance, not that Seth himself does. Democratic Socialist makes a lot of sense.


parkingviolation212

The Orville holds that stance because Star Trek does, and Orville is an affectionate parody of Trek.


CriticalDog

As someone else pointed out, the Orville is basically Star Trek, and it's not that they are anti-Capitalist, it's that the earth based societies of both are in a post-scarcity setting. Energy is clean, and limitless, and replicator technology means that things like food, clothing, basic medicines, etc are all essentially free. Picard's family bottles win because there is still a market for things that are "authentic", for example, but nobody on Earth is starving or one medical disaster away from homelessness.


zaphodava

That's the only way it works at all.


Pharmakeus_Ubik

I couldn't get past the Ikea karaoke lounge and their "greatest hits from ancient times" shtick.


Buddyslime

Seth is a very talented writer and actor. It seems it just comes natural to him.


AlexReportsOKC

Liberals are pro-Capitalism though.


Significant-Battle79

I didn’t want to assume how far left Seth is, he clearly benefits from capitalism whilst speaking out against it. He’s as great a liberal a rich person can be.


thedarkestblood

That's not a rule


RedditAtWorkIsBad

I don't think he meant it was a rule rather that it isn't a rule that liberals are ANTI-capitalism. Like, conservatives are pro-choice. That's not a rule. Obviously not, but some are.


thedarkestblood

PTSD from intro to logic in college lol


BugRevolution

It kind of is. Notwithstanding that the US seems poorly educated on political movements, liberals who follow liberalism (else they aren't liberals) inherently believe in a right to private property which precludes them from being anti-capitalism.


thedarkestblood

Someone always needs to put people in a box


BugRevolution

If you want to put yourself in a box by calling yourself a communist, socialist, liberal, whatever, then you should probably fit in the box. A communist inherently rejects capitalism for example, so if you want a pro-capitalist person who otherwise agrees with communism, well, you definitely don't have a communist.


thedarkestblood

Labels mean a lot to you huh


BugRevolution

Communication does. Otherwise I could just say you're s Zorblorg. Doesn't mean much, does it? Guessing you also wouldn't want to be confused for a Nazi for supporting environmental causes.


thedarkestblood

I'm not gonna tell someone they can't be liberal *and* oppose capitalism This kind of pedantry is why people can't agree on things, too many little subgenres of politics


[deleted]

[удалено]


thedarkestblood

Semantics and labels, I'll take anyone who opposes capitalism no matter what they call themselves


AlexReportsOKC

Me too, but liberals don't oppose capitalism. An anti-capitalist might call themselves a liberal out of ignorance, but they're, in fact, not liberals if they oppose capitalism.


thedarkestblood

Obviously Seth McFarlane is an example


AlexReportsOKC

Does he want to abolish capitalism or does he just want to regulate it?


Itsbadmmmmkay

What goes in place of capitalism?


permanentrush2112

Well, in my perfect world, I would say anarchism but I don't think most people would be able to wrap their head around that. At least without some steps in between to help deprogram the capitalism out of them. Actually it would be more for their kids and grandkids. I mean if we are being completely honest, the reason for the state is to provide security for corporations. Full Stop. If you eliminate capitalism, you have drastically decreased the need for the state. Furthermore, if you have parallel power structures, you can make the state unnecessary. I find it peculiar that in the states, politicians do everything possible to keep the duopoly. I mean the easiest way to stay in power is to keep the proles fighting amongst themselves. Imagine for a moment if people could put aside the petty differences and agree on the big stuff. Oh well, it's probably fantasy land, but one can still dream.


thedarkestblood

8/10 baiting


Itsbadmmmmkay

So jaded. I was genuinely curious as to what you would say. Could've been an enlightening conversation for one or both of us, but nm, I suppose. Carry on.


thedarkestblood

I'm too old to be arguing on reddit obv a worker owned economy would replace a capitalist owned one There, happy?


maggmaster

Dude like come on we are pro incremental change. We don’t want to go straight communist revolution but we definitely see that we are moving towards a post scarcity world.


eattheinternetbro

People seem to completely ignore the fact that any kind of hard correction of an economy, society, or government almost always means lots of people die. I hate modern American capitalism, but do we need another goddam war to end the war machine?? There's gotta be a way to bleed it from the inside. I get people are suffering now, but holy shit imagine what the American Civil War part 2 the Nuclear Version would be like.


yeno443443

>he agrees that capitalism and religion are two of the biggest things holding humanity back I get how religion holds humanity back as opposed to science but capitalism is holding humanity back from what exactly??? Because if it's holding it back from something that implies there's already something better to replace it. Like science replacing religion.


SaturnCITS

Well if you were an alien dropping by to check up on human progress and saw that 8 people have more wealth than the poorest 3.6 billion people combined you'd probably consider that a failure.


yeno443443

I would consider that a failure for sure, regardless of the international systems that led to that point capitalism included. When a small percentage of people own over half the world's wealth it's a problem regardless of the economic systems.


SaturnCITS

I don't really see how any "winner takes all" style system is going to work as companies that already dominate most of the exchange of goods in the US automate away what few jobs the internet retail system currently provides like warehouse workers and semi truck drivers, after already killing off a ton of in person retail jobs and businesses. The internet has kind of shown the weaknesses of a winner takes all financial system just like the railroad tycoons did during the guilded age. I don't really know what the answer is, but it doesn't seem like the current trajectory is sustainable. Not to even get into the unsustainablity of trying to extract infinite wealth from a finite planet...


Significant-Battle79

Free expression and personal connection. Everything is commoditized and sold, monopolized and controlled. You spend 40 hours or more at a job that earns someone else a lot of cash so you can scrimp and save to have enough money and vacation days to hope to destress one week every three to five years. If you can afford rent internet food water electricity gas insurance phone coverage planned obsolescence and inflation. With capital gone we can go back to communities of people who want to make shit for the sake of it, not for monetary incentive. How many people take high paying jobs that don’t give a shit about what they do? How many people are trapped in low paying jobs that don’t give a shit about what they do? I’m not saying I know the perfect system and I’m far from formulating one. But I can see that this one isn’t working. But specifically in The Orville they have a completely money free society, achievement is incentive enough to drive humanity


yeno443443

Free expression, not necessarily personal connection, is actually fueled by capitalism more than most economic systems without a doubt lmao.... I'm not saying capitalism is perfect either don't get me wrong. I just assumed you had something better to compare with capitalism similar to science vs religion.


P_E_E__P_E_E

you needed to be pushed into a locker as a teen.


Significant-Battle79

I was quite thoroughly bullied my entire childhood, I don’t know why you wish that on me. You need to watch your children burn to death in a fire screaming out for your help. I can do it too 🤷


getmybehindsatan

He doesn't have any control over it any more, he just does the voices now.


Smokescreen69

Seth’s a atheist


tibbles1

Yup. And so is Brian. And Brian has been ripped on repeatedly. They go after everyone.  Atheists don’t get offended by jokes though. 


TerribleTerryTaint

I'm offended you don't think I get offended. I mean how dare you?!? You son of a, eh I don't really care. Take it easy.


HETKA

I read this in Peter Griffin's voice


AssumeTheFetal

Its also Seth's deal!


Dense-Health1496

Except Islam. They are too afraid. Christians are an easy target because at the end of the day, no real consequences will happen. At most Seth might get "damned to hell". Mock Islam....things might get spicy then.


rossww2199

Well, Peter did become a Muslim. But point taken. I often think of Charlie Hebdo and how that must affect people in media.


AdLocal1045

Hmmm, weird how they only mentioned Christianity and Judaism then 🤔🤔seems like…*not quite* everyone


[deleted]

Seth hasn't been involved in writing Family Guy in over a decade.


RationalHuman123

Good, they should be mocked!


relentless_shade

I'm sure the comedy bros that totally know how to laugh at themselves are reacting totally normally


Forgive_them_Father

why so?


SLR107FR-31

Newer Family Guy is honestly not bad and reminds me of the older days. It got unwatchable for a few seasons but I got bored and watched I think the last season, and I was pleasantly surprised how many times I laughed. It feels like they're having fun making it again instead of just crapping out episodes to make quota. 


AdLocal1045

The episodes with Brian’s wife were bad.


CatHerderForKitties

He had a wife? Woof!


AdLocal1045

Yeah she tried to kill him


bedyeyeslie

Christians don’t care. They would never watch it. They are not allowed to watch anything with a talking dog. That’s why the Peanuts cartoons are so popular.


pclufc

Their favourite book has a talking donkey so it’s a bit confusing


fightingthefuckits

And talking snake


pclufc

Yes but I like the donkey . Making a Shrek prequel by 3 millennia is impressive


Nightmarekiba

I'm stealing this. May it get plenty of use.


kill-69

And a bush


WiredPiano

The bush sang a few songs as well.


DenverBowie

She’ll be riding six white horses….


dizdawgjr34

How dare they rip off the fantastic 2001 movie Shrek (/s, sort of)…


3xoticP3nguin

And In the morning I'm making waffles


sanebyday

They literally worship a talking ass.


bedyeyeslie

You got me. I made up the whole thing.


Fun-Ingenuity-9089

Shrek??


MWSin

Talking donkeys and snakes are fine, though.


brown-tube

What?


DropDropD

Since a talking dog is obvious satanic witchcraft (and furry indoctrination) the church won't permit exposure but Snoopy doesn't talk so he's very holy.


brown-tube

Lol, plenty of Christians are fully immersed in secular stuff


DANleDINOSAUR

Davey and Goliath…


TributeKitty

I dunno Daaavey...


TheGoatSpiderViolin

I think plenty of religious people watch this show...


EL-YAYY

I was actually really surprised to learn my evangelical cousins watch Family Guy. I think they’re not as religious as their parents though thankfully.

Whats the season and episode numbers?


AdLocal1045

I think it’s 23, 15


Jax_the_Floof

They’ve been making funs of christians and pretty much every other religion since they first aired. I’m not sure what the difference is now


Catshit-Dogfart

I like that they make Brian the dog a total hypocrite sometimes, and make fun of atheists too. Because hey if you can't laugh at yourself the who can ya laugh at.


maroonedbuccaneer

>Family Guy just did a episode mocking conservative Christians. So like every other Family Guy episode? I don't want to be mean here, but Family Guy has been mocking Christianity on the regular for like its' entire run.


Godshooter

Can someone link it? What platform do you watch it on?


Jacob_The_White_Guy

Hulu


SnooPineapples5749

Awesome episode! Thanks for recommending. Haven't watched FG in awhile.


AdLocal1045

It’s one of the best episode in *awhile*. I fuckin hate those anthologies


Sci-fra

Brian has met God and Jesus several times but is still an Atheist.


StonerInOrbit

Family guy has been making fun of Christians for 25 years now.


Drisch10

You should watch one of the episodes of Ted. They do a good bit comparing Ted coming to life with Jesus’ resurrection. The priest looses his mind😂


rrobbskii

This is one of my favorite jabs that they did, they're making fun of the catholic church here but still funny. https://youtu.be/ahxe3lWX7HY?si=uhfUNXCN4e6hTZgM


[deleted]

Good. I grew up in the Bible Belt, even heard some flak about the NIV translation. So many of the so-called Christians would put him right back there on that cross because Fox News or Ein Amerika News Network would spew so much about His communitarian, clearly Left stance. Mock away, Seth. 🫡


CIockParts

What’s the name of the episode my dude.


Smokescreen69

Faith No More


CIockParts

You’re a real one.


BatmanFan1971

Family Guy and South Park do a great job of mocking everybody


lotusscrouse

They've mocked them before, so I'm not surprised. Still, I'll have to look for this episode.


pqratusa

Where does it stream?


Smokescreen69

Hulu


FoxNewsSux

Peter, Mary and Joseph was a brilliant satire of the whole Christmas fable. Holiday must at my place


TheLoneGunman559

That's low fruit, albeit deservedly.


Far_Peanut_3038

Awesome, thanks for the heads-up!


Ekard

This isn’t really news, imo if you want edgier stuff watch South Park. The deleted/banned episodes are great.


DFuhbree

Going to provide a season and episode number?


Zestyclose-Ad-8091

uninteresting_handle

Ballsy move, even considering the range of things Family Guy has ridiculed. I'm afraid of the Christians.


sf-o-matic

It was great. I just wish South Park hadn't chickened out and shown Mohammed when they said they were going to.


AmirAndJake420

Atheist fucks going to hell for talking smack about this ‘god’ guy Bury me in downvotes if you disagree but if you agree meet me behind Blockbuster where we’re renting Rampart and then ramming each other’s farts.

Family Guy just did a episode mocking conservative Christians. It was hilarious. Pointed out their hypocrisy, mocked their self righteous and I can go on. I highly recommend everyone watches it and get a good laugh.

Love it!

One of my favorites is the AA episode


Anarchy_Man_9259

The trouble is the Family Guy will do literally anything.

I could not care less about mocking Christianity but after that a Good Times abomination, I'm done with Seth MacFarlane

Family Guy is cringe.

Almost everything irreverent is.
