I get that Seth MacFarlane had his youth in the '80s (well, sort of, he was 7-17, so probably not even the fun years of being in your early 20s), but most of the writers are millennials and even zoomers. The target audience is not and never has been gen X or boomers. It's always been teenage and young men. Why is Family Guy so obsessed with the 1980s?

Because you touch yourself at night LOL

Oh, you 2000s zoomoid filth really think you know culture? The 1980s were pure, unfiltered awesome—a neon-drenched, synth-blasting, musclebound fever dream of radness you could never comprehend. We had real action heroes, not basedboys. Our cartoons? Violent. Our movies? Horny and explosive. Our music? Louder than your entire fragile generation. You just wouldn’t get it, man.

You grew up on touchscreen dopamine and TikTok NPCs. We grew up on arcade cabinets, cassette tapes, and unregulated lawn darts. You’re filtered, sanitized, curated like an Instagram feed—we were raw.

So go ahead. Cope. Seethe. Keep streaming your ironic retro playlists while pretending you know the vibe. You weren’t there. You didn’t feel the bass rattle your soul at the roller rink. You didn’t ride in a wood-paneled station wagon with no seatbelt and a Capri Sun.

The '80s weren’t a decade. They were a way of life. Stay mad.

You don't have to be born in the 80s to understand hacky references you tard.
90s zoomers were still being raised on 80s movies and TV reruns.

I remember my loser friend watched Family Guy and "understand" that they were referencing 80s stuff, but he didn't know the source material so all he knew about the actual thing was the parody. For example, The A Team. It was embarrassing and in the end I told him to cram it and only discuss this shit if he had seen the actual thing it parodies.

>>211566575
I think it's just an AI response

>>211566322 (OP)
The writers want approval from Seth, so they make references he'd approve of to gain favor. Also Seth strikes me as a guy who sets younger writers homework to watch 'old films' that came out in the 80s.

>>211566575
Cram it
>>211566322 (OP)
Rock on

>>211566322 (OP)
thought there were more 40s-50s references in it. what do you think shipoopi is? bing crosby? etc

>>211566496
looks like some chatgpt insult

I noticed many of the episodes in the latest seasons are just episode long parodies of movies.

I feel like the writers are out of ideas and just don't give a fuck any longer

>>211566665
>I remember my loser friend watched Family Guy
I wonder if your "loser friend" was actually you

>>211566322 (OP)
Someday everyone who actually remembers the 80s will be dead

>>211567096
No, I had friends growing up. Still do today. Are you him?

This is the gayest, most NPC shit I've read this month.

It would be wrong, nay dumbfounded, to accuse Seth MacFarlane of being a really creepy guy. In safer reality, MacFarlane is merely a trvst fvnd band. His entire existence, net worth, power and popularity can be traced entirely to his enormous trust fund that he inherited from his father who was a senior executive at Baskin Roberts. A hard pill to swallow: Seth MacFarlane is a trvst fvnd band.

The 80s had a cultural impact on all the generations that followed and even if you weren't alive for them chances are you've seen a lot of the movies or heard a lot of the music. Family Guy's also always been huge with Gen Xers

Hmm maybe not
