It never stopped. It BECAME funny past season 3 and continued from there. It's the animated post-modern Monty Python, the whole point is the funnt skits or meta cutaways.

For me, it's hard to pinpoint an exact moment. I want to say it was more of a decline over the years. That episode where Meg stood up for herself, but then reverted back to being the punching bag was one of the moments that made me not like it. I'm not going to sperg about Seth MacFarlane. He's a talented and smart guy, I just wish he put more effort into his cash cow series.

Only the episodes in 4:3 are funny throughout. The rest of the series is only watchable through cherrypicked gags. Middle seasons (9-14) are full of tryhard shock humor for 13 year olds. Newer seasons are just fucking boring because theyve exhausted all the plots and are too pussy to write a joke thatd actually be funny

I think he should be free to focus on the project(s) of his choosing. Seth already did his part by building the foundation; now it's up to the present writers to carry that torch.

Around Season 6 is where the quality really starts to drop off.
Theres the occasional good episode, and often even good jokes, even to now.

But the first 5-ish seasons were legitimately damn good television.

these jokes are even "worse" because they could have been funny if they let the humor stand on its own two feet but they have to explicitly and preemptively explain every bit to the audience because they know their audience is composed of actual 80 IQ cretins

Is there a word for someone who injects their fetishes into their work with the intent that it might get more people interested in it in an attempt to make it more mainstream? Remember how the 90's had Children's cartoons full of sexy Furry Babes? Now look at online society today.

observation

family guy tries to be edgy and shocking with it's violence but it's mostly just lame and try hard

American dad for whatever reason has incredibly realistic looling gore which is genuinely shocking but handled in such a way it's an effective storytelling device as well as still being funny when done for laughs (or just incredibly silly shit like pic rel)
