If you're reading this, you have too much time on your hands.
What other show out there will bust out in a random five-minute fight with a guy in a chicken costume (and this is the third time it's happened -- the third is below, the first two are here):
That being said, while it's a funny show, you'll notice a lot of scenes in Family Guy that are eerily similar to old Simpsons episodes:

Also, I noticed lately you've been posting a lot of youtube videos, did you just get hooked on them recently or what? They're not bad but I was expecting more of your usual weird/irony stuff like games, idiots of the day, current events and such like that Donkey Kong thing, that was good. So I deplore you to refrain from using so many videos in such a short time. You don't need them Jake!
Jake said on 05/09/07 @ 09:38 AM: Honestly, the reason for all the random videos lately is lack of time to find good stories and a huge glut of videos sent my way from folks. But you do make a good point, as I've been trying to get back to the randomness that made this site what it is :-)
