Family Guy Composer Sued
I'd love to see Family Guy get shitcanned, canceled, shot out of a canon and into another canon full of male on male rape for anything, even something as silly as this. Jam it back in, in the dark. ![]() |
Wark! |

It only took them what, 7 or 8 years, to decide to sue them on this?
Also
This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it. I didn't say I wouldn't go fishin' with the man.
All I'm sayin' is, if he comes near me, I'll put him in the wall. |
Some people have such soft skin, I'm surprised they even venture outdoors and run the risk of being eviscerated by a cloud of pollen. I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body? |
Be that as it may - its more or less shoved down my throat and I've been beleaugered more than once by someone asking me how dare I dislike the show.
I was speaking idiomatically. ![]()

I'm afraid that I have to admit to liking the show, though I rarely watch new episodes on TV and simply pirate them later, so it balances out. I won't bother wasting anyone's time trying to defend it, but it's not a horrible show. Worse shows have stayed on TV and better ones have been canceled. "Live with it" would be my recommendation.
(If I ever saw someone pull a bucket out of a well, but the bucket had a yellow jacket on it, and the person yelled, "ANDY! YOU GOONIE!" and I laughed, I think I would be obligated to hand them at least $10.) What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now? |
How ya doing, buddy? ![]() |
Though I don't want to get into a long drawn out argument over whose opinion is more valid, Family Guy is a great fucking show. I find it funny. That's all. No more no less. I don't quite understand how someone might make the case that its original, in any of its properties, but since when does originality make something funny in and of itself?
Making references to pop culture is fine. It doesn't bug me as much it does some people. Its how that sense of culture is referenced that I consider humorous. I find that its easy for people to dislike something on account of its popularity... Anyways, I am not surprised something like this would happen. Walter Murphy is a very good composer but there are obvious quotations from many films and series in the family guy musical framework. I always assumed that Fox would pay for the licensing to utilize these quotations, so not very good thinking on using "When you wish upon a star" without expressed written consent. What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

Of what I call the Big 4 satirical cartoons (I say satirical, FG doesn't satirise anything, it just pulls stuff out of it's ass) it's only slightly better than the Simpsons, the other two being Futurama and South Park.

And yeah, what Russ said. There's nowhere I can't reach. |

Still not as good as Stella. I was speaking idiomatically. It was lunchtime at Wagstaff.
Touching butts had been banned by the evil Headmaster Frond. Suddenly, Tina Belcher appeared in the doorway. She knew what she had to do. She touched Jimmy Jr's butt and changed the world. |
The thing is, sometimes Family Guy uses music note-for-note ripped from the original, yet "I Need a Jew" changed a few notes, making it obviously parody.
Maybe they're just fighting over the number of similar notes it takes before you can sue? Geez, MadTV and SNL make music parodies all the time, you don't see the RIAA coming down on them for that. What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now? |
Its not the RIAA, its the rights holder for the song.
How ya doing, buddy? ![]() |
Go do something real for humanity and stick your head in an industrial blender. What, you don't want my bikini-clad body? I have nothing clever to put here. |

I think there's a sub-audience out there that likes Family Guy because it's unpretentious. It knows exactly what it wants to do, which is to get cheap laughs. I don't think they ever claimed they wanted to change the world via Peter's fart noises.
The joke material may be simplistic, but like with anything, the delivery can make or break the material. There's a reason no one watches SNL anymore, right? I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body? |

FELIPE NO |
Humor is parallel to aesthetics, asshole. (Forgot about this thread...) What, you don't want my bikini-clad body? I have nothing clever to put here. |
