Family Guy

Chris' favorite Family Guy character, Herbert.

Family Guy is a reasonably un-amusing Animated Sitcom renowned for it's lack of originality and blatant plagiarism, which is ironic considering Chris 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 realise Mr. McFarlane is quite capable of making his own un-funny, boring, plagiarising shit all by himself.

Chris has a crush on Meg, and has drawn her in the nude despite the fact she is under-age.

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-sequitor, 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 show often deals with issues of bigotry and taboo subjects 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.
