Family Guy is a mediocre animated sitcom renowned for its lack of originality and blatant plagiarism, which is ironic considering Chrissy rips it off so much in his comics.
The series is also the inspiration for Chris' infamous Ghostbusters "skitch" that appeared in Sonichu 7 and introduced the one-off appearance of his character Sammy, a creation that was a mix between Chris and Peter Griffin (srsly, and you thought his mix of him and Sonichu was bad!).
Chris had hoped that the creator of Family Guy, Seth McFarlane, could possibly use his sketch in a future episode, but he unfortunately didn't realize Mr. McFarlane is quite capable of making unfunny, plagiarizing, boring shit on his own.
Chris has a crush on Meg, and has drawn her in the nude despite the fact she is underage.
Influence on Chris
Chris has variously expressed fanaticism for the series and watches it regularly. It can be inferred from this that the show's frequent use of non-sequitur, referential humor has bolstered Chris' belief that reproducing (or at least deriving) themes, motifs and characters from other works makes for legitimate, original art and has influenced his muddled understanding of parody.
Also significant is his citing of Family Guy as material that endorses homophobia, having completely misinterpreted what was a not-so-subtle jab at the prejudice in a recent episode. As the series often deals with issues of bigotry and other social taboos in a manner which to most would constitute ham-fisted irony, the question is raised as to what other messages from the show Chris takes at face value.
Controversy
A majority of the show is based off of its shock appeal, and has sparked several debates with parental groups over TV. It is very unknown if Chris objects to Family Guy for many of its controversial topics and lewd jokes, but it is certainly something to question as he is usually very awkward feeling about anything offensive.
