Anyone else watch Family Guy tonight....? *sigh* (All about the "Tea Party")...

[Ranger29860]

I have had that on the list for a long, long time now.

I've been a fan of Judge for 20 years now, Beavis and Butthead slayed me.

But, I'm really terrified that watching Idiocracy would prove to be too "real".

You know Beavis and Butthead is back on the air right? The episodes are pretty good to.

MacFarlane* guys, not McFarlan <3

hes a cool guy, but his political views (like most other hollywood indoctrinites) are misguided. If he is ever open to a discussion, like any other reasonable human being, we can easily convince of an-cap or minarchist views. Don't bash on him when you haven't even heard him openly speak of his political views or argument thereof. This is a very childish attitude I've seen lately on the forums.

Umm. You've never seen MacFarlane on Bill Maher?? Youtube it. He's a smug yet very talented prick.

 

[soulcyon]

He's a smug yet very talented prick.

amen

 

[AuH20]

amen

Ever hear him sing? He's amazing.

 

[Ranger29860]

Ever hear him sing? He's amazing.

I'm pretty sure he does all the songs on the show also.

Re- runs for me. With all the current administrations fodder the last thing I care to see is a liberal bashing of the Tea Party.

While I thought the premise behind Idiocracy was good, and the overall plot of the problem that had to be solved was good, I was disappointed by the extreme overuse of fart and sex jokes (same problem I have with Beavis and Butthead), and the suspension of disbelief that people who can't figure out the rudimentaries of tending a crop would somehow be able to custom build monster trucks.

I always thought it was ironic how much liberals hate Fox until it comes to entertainment, and a paycheck.

because they are fake.
fox is a liberal channel, some just dont know it yet...

At least I know you're not putting off watching it so that you can watch another episode of "Ow My Balls" or go to the dome to watch Beef Supreme run his Monster Truck over political prisoners.

Idiocracy is the best social commentary I think I've ever seen.

Joe:Brawndo::Ron Paul:Federal Reserve.

To sum up the episode:

"The Tea Party wants NO government. They're ignorant retards being manipulated by corporate America; thus any organization or even connection to the philosophy is therefore ignorant".


I'm no longer watching this trashy show. Propaganda BS.

If you're looking to replace it with another 1/2 hour comedy, try "Community" on NBC instead. The last couple episodes have been great: incompetent bureaucratic leadership cedes control to an out of control military junta, which installs its own puppet leader to sign off on their abuses.

It's well written and pushes the sitcom format to the limits. I've yet to be "offended" by their world view, as I have been for nearly EVERY episode I've seen recently of the Simpsons or Family Guy. American Dad is slightly better, but it still boils down to stereotypical right vs. stereotypical left jokes that rightly make fun of both, but they don't recognize that there's any other school of thought in the world.

I posit this will make me very angry.

I thought the sex and fart jokes were funny because they were jokes on the characters laughing at them. It exposed their mindless humor and lack of adult insights.

As far as "suspending disbelief" - would you believe that people who can't understand that central banking is killing the economy could simultaneously be planning a trip to Mars? It wasn't so much that they couldn't figure out that water was better for the crops, it was that they were hoodwinked by Brawndo and the Federal Govt to think that it was stupid to put "toilet water" on plants because plants crave Brawndo. Brawndo, it's what plants crave. It was about reducing the population to nothing but mindless parrots of propaganda, just like people today think that money and the economy needs central banking to work. The Federal Reserve, it's what stable economies crave.

I loathe Seth Macfarlane so nothing made me happier when Penn Jillette called out his BS to his face.

 

[Jonse]

Apparently the Tea Party wants anarchy.

I can't stop laughing, oh god.
