get him off air

i was told to follow my dreams so i'm pursuing the noble art of getting this garbage man in the garbage can navigation and links

[petergriffinhateblog-blog]

user @ask-the-deadman sent me a recommendation to watch this video, and i agree that it’s worth the watch

it kind of undermines how deep most of his tormenting ways go, but it’s a good overall summary of how fucked up peter griffin is as a person

also, despite watching a fair amount of family guy myself, it had a point i was entirely unaware of. i’ll have to research the claim of peter grffin owning child pornography, as i have had NO idea about that, but i don’t doubt that the episodes mentioned in the video actually exist.

just. holy fucking shit. does peter griffin have any sort of redeeming qualities whatsoever? honestly and truly doubtful.

viewer discretion is advised for this vid, please check my tags before watching- especially notable are the animal death/cruelty clips shown.

alternatively the 64 pages of this blog are just a chronicle of my madness as i cycle through lighthearted humor and serious discourse in an attempt to come to terms with the fact peter griffin wont let me die yet

[petergriffinhateblog-blog]

This blog currently has 64 pages

i may not be the funniest but i can tell you i do NOT shut the fuck up. 64 pages? fuck you. family guy has gone on for like 16 seasons. i could go on and on about the flaws of every particular episode. you want a five paragraph essay on the nuances of how peter’s proclaimed low intelligence is offensive? damn right i can do that. you want a matpat game theory video on the pointlessness of this whole endeavor? fuck you.

64 pages? foolish mortal. i might be slow and haphazard, but i assure you i am not done. fuckin watch me (at a slow pace im comfortable with)

tell my children i love them and that ihatejonarbuckle has killed me before peter griffin ever could

[ihatejonarbuckle]

this is the most cursed thing i have ever created in all my life 

[ihatejonarbuckle]

i love that the reddish jpeg artifacts(?) make him look infected

[ihatejonarbuckle]

if i had to be reminded of this abomination, you all do too :)

[petergriffinhateblog-blog]

hey why do you hate me? why do you put this on my dash? i pray to you every night, i keep food from every meal saved to place at an alter for garfield where he may feast upon delicacies far closer to what he deserves. i work so laboriously to keep mindfulness of jon arbuckle in my heart at all hours, and this is how you repay me?

you thrust the cursed article that haunts my existence into my vision? the very bane of my soul, the cancerous parasite that feeds off society- and you place it before me as though it is nothing more than a lighthearted prank?

julius caesar could not fathom the backstab you’ve inflicted upon me. grandchildren of mine will feel shame showing their faces at the grocery stores, people who kin my legacy will know exactly the shame you’ve wrecked upon my being. do you understand? you’ve ruined me. betrayed me. you’ve put a scar over my eye and named me scar and outcast me from our friendly lion family. i’m ashamed! humiliated! left with the rotting carcass of my own withered humanity.

and i don’t think you feel shame. you, up there on pride rock. you, up there with thirty whatever knives you’ve stabbed into my back on the ides of march. you, with your empty dog cum mug of evidence, who sits over there behind your tumblr blog like you haven’t committed a heinous crime haphazardly another living creature. how do you live with yourself? how could you do this to me? is this what garfield would have wanted?

or maybe it’s more selfish, like an anime supervillain who smiles smugly behind folded hands with the reflection of suspicious light bouncing off your glasses. is that what this is? am i the boku no protagonist of this story, and you’re my robbie rotten? am i the meguka bizarre adventurer and you’re the hans of wesleton who’s here to freeze my sister and leave me to suffer?

i don’t know. i can’t possible know what’s running through your mind right now. i have no doubt it’s disturbing and ruthless, just as you are in your entirity, but i can’t ever hope to know even an inkling of how vastly you must feel kismesexy feels for me to perform this ultimate action of hatred towards my being.

i don’t know how i’m going to recover. i know that the icon of your own satanic deity is within this image, and i know it must have hurt you to sink so deep and dredge it back up for the rest of us to witness, and i know that in itself is proof of how determined your attack is. it was a self sabotage for what i imagine you think is the greater good- and i know that i can’t stand up to such willpower.

after it all, i just have a question for you, ihatejonarbuckle.

why? why would you put this on my dash?

[petergriffinhateblog-blog]

sometimes i forget all my media’s not hooked together, but i go on mini tirades elsewhere about things that probably belong on this blog

i blocked myself out because i feel like even accidental pimping myself out sidetracks from the point (and also i usually only use it for art refs/tutorials)

anyway, hmu for some debate on why adult media is shit and the reasoning behind so many adults being in younger-aimed fandoms instead.

[kafkaesque-meat-deactivated2025]

I would argue part of the inherent nihilism in adult animation stems from the desire, whether outright stated or merely subconscious, for some kind of catharsis. I don’t watch Bojack to feel hopeless; I watch Bojack to feel less alone. There’s a place for that, and your average 20 something probably needs that, especially now as we’re deep in late stage capitalism with an ever growing gap between rich and poor. It’s not that 20 somethings all gave up, we’re all still actively fighting for change and have been since Bush, but that we largely relate to feeling depressed to some degree. It can be difficult to create an adult centered work with a positive outlook without alienating much of your audience.

Meanwhile making shows geared towards children almost requires an optimistic tone. Which means you have to be good at making works that can be positive and upbeat while also not presenting the audience with a saccharine world. Kids relate to feeling sad, scared, and angry just as much, if not more, than adults, but kids also don’t react as well to, well, ‘downers’. Kids don’t enjoy shows that present hopelessness. So writers of children’s shows have to understand and respond in kind.

To use an example; while Bojack can present us a couple that, while deeply in love, have problems and have said relationship ends in divorce and people react with “yeah that’s fair”, if Ruby and Sapphire didn’t get back together kids would feel deeply bothered by that and adults would probably argue the show jumped the shark.

[petergriffinhateblog-blog]

this is very good commentary and i agree on it all, but imo that doesn’t change the tone/feel of how adult swim overall comes across. i understand that validation and such that comes from watching shows like bojack horseman and watching how a depressed media char motivating themselves comes across as relatable and even somewhat helpful to do the same in real life- but it still creates an awkward tone because of the clash between the bojack/r&m/eric andre relatable depressionist vibes vs the weirdly optimistic(?) shit like.... family guy/robot chicken

and i’m not insulting any of these shows, either, where they do have a place as media to be consumed. it’s just that sometimes, it’s too much, or people don’t want to watch media that tells them shit sucks instead of letting them escape

both tones and types are fair, especially for their respective audiences, as you’ve said, but it just also then doesn’t come across as surprising that adults are seeking out some of that optimistic media- it clashes well against the depressionist one of adult swim

the overall “shits hopeless” aspect doesnt play in except as an overall concept- the fact that family guy and robot chicken and such don’t HAVE the “downer” tones, and how popular they are despite spitting in the face of PC culture.

bojack needs to approach the difficult shit like relationships not working out, and similarly steven universe’s optimism about how sometimes relationships DO work out is just as necessary- but it’s the combination of both that creates a more healthy view.

im rambling but u brought up good points, 10/10

[petergriffinhateblog-blog]

an anon recommended some family guy fanfics to me so ill see yall later, i gotta go do my research and see if the fandoms actually better at writing this shitty tv show than the actual paid professionals are

but considering that theres a weird pedo/bestiality ship thats played with in canon? i think my “high hopes” are still pretty bottom of the barrel

this may be unrelated to goddamn anything

but shoutout to all of you for making it one day at a time through 2018, cause i know its been real rough on a lot of you (and me), and shout out that yall are still here

shoutout also to those grand slam homies who stick w us on the bad days and teach us that real friendship (or romance or etc) isn’t only there when it’s easy to like us

[petergriffinhateblog-blog]

and hey, i’m willing to debate on this one so i do hope i’m truly wrong, but when people say “it’s just a joke” in defense to wildly offensive jokes, aren’t they just...

idk, validating the claims that the things shouldn’t be joked about because of the real world consequences of no one taking the subject seriously??

“it’s just a joke” sounds like “i find this sensitive topic hilarious and i don’t like being reminded that i’m becoming the only one”

[petergriffinhateblog-blog]

hi tumblr whats up im still eternally frustrated that while progressive culture does its best to show ppl that shit like rape or pedophilia isn’t a joke, we still have shit like quagmire and the old man herbert the pervert- both of whom have attempted (with varied success) to drug their victims for their own selfish purposes.

hell, i’ve found this, so i know shits not just me (tw because it lists a lot of examples of rape or rape jokes in the shows)

Sign the Petition

Stop Rape Jokes on Family Guy

but honestly? i dont think a petition is gonna do anything. if i’ve learned anything about 2018, it’s that the only way to truly get justice for things is to make everyone angry and vocal about it.

get mad! get loud!!! and get this shit off air!!!!!

[petergriffinhateblog-blog]

English isn't my first language, so this may not make sense lol. Just like the joke with hating Meg, Southpark made the joke of always killing Kenny. The difference between the two shows, which you could arguably say makes the other one better, is that the SP writers got tired of killing Kenny; they didnt find it funny anymore. So they stopped doing it. The first few jokes in the early seasons about Meg being hated were alright, but now it's just dumb. They haven't realized it's not funny.

i don’t know much about south park and thus will remain neutral on this, but it’s a very good note you’ve pointed out!!

i’m p sure family guy Can’t stop the gag, though, because there’s not enough of meg as a character to succeed on her own without being everyone else’s punchline.

[petergriffinhateblog-blog]

fatdragonquest replied to your post:

Can we do a kickstarter to kill the family guy cinematic universe

i fucking wish, but i don’t think there’s a plausible way to do it beyond paying the creators to Stop Doing It and then we’re just fueling the fire for them to just do something equally terrible or keep going with it anyway because they got money due to it.

[petergriffinhateblog-blog]

anyway, i haven’t been on here in a while, but i decided today while watching some youtube philosophy of post modernism (which mentions rick and morty, bojack horseman, eric andre, and other adult swim shows), and it took me a moment to realize that... once again, people leave family guy out.

so! as the good peter griffin hating samaritan i am, i decided to pick up the mantle once more to keep this shit going. because the issue with family guy is clearly not going away, no matter how much we attempt to ignore it or make fun of it. 

other aforementioned media all shows the cynicism of post modernism. that’s a complicated phrase for a simple point- which is that basically a lot of us are sick of today’s shit. the economy sucks, college tuition sucks (for americans), the news sucks, politics suck, the state of job availability sucks; the people who were raised by all of this (1985s-2000s) are now getting to a point in their lives where they prefer to consume adult media that recognizes and portrays this suckiness in our lives. we like to acknowledge that things are kinda shitty, and find humor in the bleakness. it gives us validation in a weird social way i’m not quite sure how to explain.

but if that’s what those shows mean, then what do shows like family guy mean?

is it just a reminder of how our generations cling to the concept of nostalgia? is it that with the improvement of technology, we’re clinging to the concept of similarity in hopes that it means time isn’t passing as fervent as it always is? does it possess some innate quality that resonates with people enough to keep it relevant even after the characters grow stale and the writing changes hands?

honestly, yea. it’s probably a few generations (dragging in the 1970s-1980s folks too here) that watched it back when it was on- not out of seeking it out, but because it was so readily available and it was something kinda funny back in its time. which is true, if only because a bunch of us were worse people back in the day who hadn’t realized that laughing at minorities (even if we are part of that minority) for stereotypical traits isn’t actually funny or unique. like, if there’s one thing Those Dang 90′s Kids can be happy about, it’s that fact right there.

i mean, some of us are still terrible people. that’s a fact. it’s just a lesser portion because the 2010s sure haven’t been kind but it’s been a necessary awakening.

one that... family guy has been avoiding for what we can presume to be a number of reasons. example: you can’t suddenly just change the base formula of the show without losing a chunk of viewers, you can’t redact problematic parts of your show without calling more attention to the thing you’re attempting to fix (looking at you, simpsons), and... with a show like family guy, can you really fix the racism/homophobia/ableism/etc aspects of the show when those concepts are what got it on air? episode one featured a joke about hitler getting mad about jewish people (and presumably starting the holocaust) because of petty reasons (they could get more ladies wooing over them at the gym).

and why wouldn’t family guy want to stick around, when the current (american) political climate has shown there to be plenty of people who don’t want to be inclusive and politically correct. is that not why it’s thriving? because even in liberal communities, i keep finding that there are so many who don’t want things such as equal opportunity/affirmative action to take place because it means giving up their unfair advantage.

isn’t that something family guy itself would endorse?

maybe you can kind of see where this is going. where i’m opening up the road to many views on why this show might exist, but also wondering if perhaps one of the main reasons it just keeps on going is not because of cynicism towards the current Everything i mentioned before and how much it sucks.

maybe family guy is a cynicism towards the progressive communities who see how much everything sucks, and tells us that’s not a fucking excuse for being a shitbag. maybe it’s cynicism towards the concept that you can do better as a person, that stagnation isn’t acceptable.

and maybe that’s why i have a problem with it. people can do better, and i’d be so willing to help them if only they’d stop clinging to the griffin values long enough to see it.

i just checked hulu and found that it has a section of clips that raises a few flags

now, look. i get it, making someone the buttmonkey of jokes is funny. i do, i really get it! i love poking fun at my own friends, being like “haha, lets all go do this fun thing Except You” at some of my closer friends who i know can take it.

but see.. there’s a difference here. the thing is, when i say things like “you can’t sit with me because you showed me what mursuits are last time you did”, i’m joking in a way where i’m not attempting to devalue their person, and i accept that i will be open to the same judgement at any time of day should i do anything of that value (which i do. i have a collection of minion bdsm pics i like to drop in discord chats sometimes)- and it’s equal on both sides. and that’s kind of really important here. 

the fact its fucking equal on both sides

so when there’s this recurring joke of meg griffin (aged 17-18, depending on season), being made fun of by her parents/family/entire fucking town, there’s kind of an imbalance there.

it’s not a fun joke, it’s just humiliating someone for the sake of humiliating them. it’s embarrassing to watch, and- as i’ve probably said before on this blog- it’s downright abusive. we KNOW it is, too, because in That One Damned Episode (Seashell Seahorse Party), she (meg) even admits its abusive herself.

the problem here, though, is that hulu does not make family guy. they are a separate entity in this that just hosts the show. they had the chance to ignore this part of the show, and instead chose to embrace it as though it were as hilarious as originally intended.

the fact that this is the first clip-group under hulu’s page makes me think that they genuinely think this is something that may “sell” the show to new audiences. go look for yourself [link].

coupled with the fact that three (possibly four) of these clips show (or imply) various states of undress for meg or have sexual implications concerning meg- a literal teenager who isn’t even 18 until season fucking 10-, i think someone at hulu needs to get their shit together.

underage girls are not a kink or a punchline

i mean. girls in general are not a kink or a punchline, but i think we can all agree minors have a greater power imbalance and are more sensitive to jokes or scenarios.
