Family Guy appeals to the [i]lowest common denominator[/i].
Where's the one picture that explained that the characters in this show actually got more undeveloped as the show went on?
But everything is better with a bag of weed!

So Hugo Chavez can flirt with drug-addict Courtney Love but he wont allow a marijuana promoting cartoon dog in his country?
[QUOTE=TH89;17556372]How do I put this?
You have a bad sense of humor.[/QUOTE]
Don't really know.
I enjoy all sorts of humor.
Quickly whipped this image up.

That's not a picture. oh well I learned a new term today.
[QUOTE=Neckbeard;17556136]I'd like to see Family Guy banned everywhere.
Well... Seth MacFarlane getting shot out of a cannon.
Into the Sun.
That would suffice.[/QUOTE]
Think of all the fans crying...

Would you like to explain what that means? It's a mathematical and/or computing term which has no relevance whatsoever in this context.

[QUOTE=radioactive;17555654]It also includes a talk show hosted by the country's president, Hugo Chavez.[/QUOTE]
"Hello is great seeing you all tonight, I am your president and host of the show, hugo chavez."

Lowest: Very small, smallest level,
Common: Unoriginal, unexciting, not revolutionary
Denominator: Bottom number of a fraction or "community" standard
So basically, something that is the lowest common denominator is something that is dull and it happens to appeal to the "common man."

My definition probably isn't 100% correct, but that's my interpretation of what it means.

[QUOTE=wiki]The phrase is by further analogy (mis)used to describe the most basic, least sophisticated level of taste, sensibility, or opinion among a group of people.[/QUOTE]
So what you're saying is...your usage was in actual fact, wrong?
OK thanks that's all I needed to know.

Only to mathematicians. It's a quite commonly used colloquialism.
Hmm. Let me have a go.
Rating people dumb to appease their own sense of inadequacy appeals to the [i]Lowest Common Denominator.[/i]
Nope. Try again.

The term's generally used to refer to art and entertainment.

Learn some English.
Good, they're safe from another piece of unfunny MacFarlane shit.
Way to get buttfucked by weirdass laws...
Family Guy may be dumb and full of cheap gags but it's still funny and entertaining when you're in a mood where you just wanna chill and not watch something too laborious.
South Park is much better for satire but Family Guy takes itself less seriously and has almost become a sort of self-parody, not particularly a bad thing.
So the 4 people with a TV in Venezuela can't watch Family guy, big deal.
Meh, family guy really isn't that funny anyway/
And suddenly 10 Venezuelan teens commit suicide, police are investigating.
That's one country down, a lot more to go :frown:
I really don't see what the big deal is, the mass majority of Family Guy episodes, like the mass majority of South Park episodes, are total shit.
Family guy sucks anyway.
And nothing of value was lost
