Those Family Guy writers have b**ls of steel! There is now officially no subject they won’t tackle.

Anyone who’s ever seen Family Guy and who shares the quirky sense of humour that this show requires to appreciate it fully will undoubtedly agree that it’s compulsive viewing once you get into it… and it’s one of THE funniest programmes on TV ever.

Some of the content in this article contains swearing and material not suitable for children!

When you think ‘cartoon’, you might also think ‘for kids’ but the happy fact is, there are lots of them around that are most definitely adult humour. For example, Family Guy and South Park are not at all little-kid-friendly but some can be watched by both children and grown ups, such as The Simpsons and Charlie Brown.

There’s also King of the Hill and Futurama which contains jokes and one-liners kids wouldn’t necessarily understand but adults would.

Family Guy is my most favourite, closely followed by South Park, so these are the ones we’ll take a look at. Both are famed for their irreverent humour and sometimes obscene or insulting subject matter. I think the reason I love them so much is that they don’t care at all about political correctness; in fact, they seem to go out of their way to jump all over it.
