Family Guy - The easiest joke setup in Family Guy history

Season 19, episode 18: Meg Goes to College

[Nonsensehat]

It’s like the writers have given up but are completely heart and soul committed to it. It’s almost art.

[desertsnwball]

When they write multiple jokes and can't decide which one to put in the show so they just put all of them in :D

[jonsku]

Let's face it, the correct answer is the longest punchline that makes the whole joke faceplant

[coolbunny]

Love how the writers was like: "You know what, screw this. Imma let the audience decide what's funny."

[frinkanoid]

Family Guy writers have perfected a formula of joke writing where everything they write can give you a sort of half smile but you’ll never actually laugh.

[LasagnaReaper]

I respect seth for basically saying "we are past the bottom of the barrel."

[KevintribaI]

Gotta love that classic family guy fall pose at least that still stayed consistent

[thigoror]

Correct answer is D.: The camera zooms on his face and Peter says "farthouse"

[dannydorito]

I mean the frat also spells out “Delta P-U” or looks like “A-Poo” so they threw even more jokes into this cutaway.

[daelnelbel]

“If I wanted to deal with a lot of hot air, I’d be talking to the Dean!”

[cloudsRniceCM]

Their parties really are a breath of fresh air.

[zackyzackyzacky]

The Family guy writers actually used the "Peter Griffin explains the joke" meme in Family Guy.

[Nifghfgjyuk]

I love how Meg does the same pose as her father when she falls down

[JeremyBX]

"When the joke might not sell, just break the 4th Wall" - Seth McFarlane probably

[jimmy_the_squid]

Ironically "Peter joins a fart" was the best punchline, the whole fourth wall break was just lazy lampshading

[jacksongreene]

I really thought he would have said “Farthouse” the way he says “Roadhouse” or “Toasthouse”

[jonsmith]

I was fully expecting an Apu from Simpsons joke. Like he opens the door, gets farted on, and you hear "thank you, come again"

[JustSomeCanadianGuy]

Sounds like Seth is trying not to laugh at the end there.

[mikerobinson]

Family Guy has become the emblem of our times, unwittingly. Other shows pride themselves on crafting specific arcs and themes. Family Guy says, "We don't know how to end these shows anymore, so we just do nonsense." Perfect reflection of the age we seem to be living in.

[lizardguyNA]

Oh I got a few for this one.
"And I thought my grades stank."
"Get an accountant, we need a bean counter."
"Yep, that's college."
"Band must be here, I heard a tuba."
"Hehehehehehe, fart joke."
"This whole frat has a good future writing for Fox Network shows."
"Here's your Brown University."
And probably more.
