It's supposed to be fun after all, isn't it?

That it's not serious

That it's not serious

You say that, but its an ancient tactic to cover up an insult with the phrase "I was only having a laugh, it was just a joke."

Okay, so you feel insulted by my post and by that episode of Family Guy. I kind of know what your problem is: Lack of humour.

National pride and satirical cartoon series don't mix.

Yeah look at Bjorn, and all the times British comedies have made fun of the Germans. He's not upset by it.

Might be either because of my good sense of humor or because I haven't seen any of them. *Cough*

I've never watched this Family Guy which is not surprising as I rarely watch any TV these days. It might be hilarious for all I know. I find a lot of modern humour offensive which might be due to my age more than anything else. I prefer a little subtlety rather than 'in your face' . Not that I mind anyone taking the mickey out of me or my country & there's plenty to choose from there. I imagine that many Americans would be offended by 2DTV which I thought was one of the funniest things I've seen on TV for years.

You have to be careful who you pick on as Baron Cohen (Ali G) might find out to his cost. See Jimbo's topic here. http://www.simviation.com/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.cgi?board=gen;action=display;num=1132007543
Can't say I ever cared for that idiot myself & I'm surprised someone hasn't punched him on the nose before now. I reckon he'll have to watch out or somone might give him more than a punch.

It's just basically a bunch of flatulence and sex jokes,

Indeed. Most of the playground jokers at school were much better at it than the so-called comedians I'm talking about. It's playground humour & that's where it belongs, not on national TV. IMHO
