it might be one of the most successful
cartoons in history but it’s not without
its missteps welcome to watchmojo.com
and today we’re counting down our picks
for the top 10 worst Family Guy episodes
before we begin we publish new content
every day so be sure to subscribe to our
Channel and ring the bell to get
notified about our latest videos for
this list we’re looking at episodes from
the animated sitcom that famously failed
to generate laughs connect with fans or
impress critics number 10 Brian and
Stewie this episode is what we call a
bottle episode which means it takes
place in one location you invented a
time machine but you can’t get us out of
a safe in a comedy series it’s often
done to save money but you’d think given
that Family Guy is an animated series
they wouldn’t have to worry about paying
for a location that leaves us with no
option but to assume that this was a
creative choice well based on the end
result it was a bad one the episode
centers around Brian and Stewie trapped
in a bank vault meaning that it’s really
just Seth MacFarlane talking to himself
for 22 minutes the episode drones on a
joke ‘less overly emotional mess you
think I care about you I don’t yes you
do I know you do I don’t really care
no you’re just smart enough and you’re
just clever enough to occasionally amuse
me
number 9 April in Quahog listen we know
Peter Griffin is designed to be a mean
character he abuses his kids makes fun
of his wife treats his friends like
trash destroys the town every chance he
gets
etc etc however deep down he’s always
seemingly loved his family and would do
anything to protect them or so we
thought all that is tarnished in this
episode when he admits that he in fact
hates spending time with his children I
just hate being around the kids what so
much for the idiot with a heart of gold
don’t worry he buys the kids love back
with an Xbox oh and they bring back
surfin bird again hilarious Oh have you
not heard heard what ever not bad very
bad but
badge number eight Brian Griffin’s house
of pain where do we begin on this
bowling ball-sized ball drop possibly
with the B story which explores the
incredibly irresponsible sides of Chris
and Meg in this episode they
accidentally pushed their little brother
down the stairs causing a massive head
wound instead of bringing their injured
sibling to the hospital they cover it up
for weeks
when Peter finds out he informs them
this is a regular occurrence and even
helps them blame Lois for the whole
ordeal
you just got to cover it up and
eventually it all works out yeah it’s as
bad as it sounds and the a story’s no
better either truly a disappointing
episode number seven Stewie is a saint
taking a step up from bowling ball this
is a nine months pregnant sized ball
drop what we mean by that is in this
episode Stewie gets pregnant you need to
get a big fat abortion right this second
taking his implied obsession with his
friend Brian to a whole new level
Stewie uses some scientific mumbo-jumbo
to impregnate himself using Brian’s DNA
while that is certainly a visual we
never asked for the babies they produce
are even worse it all caps off with them
leaving the abominations at a local
animal shelter and everything returning
to normal but it’ll never be normal
again will it
some sites can never be unseen no matter
how many times you wash your eyes number
six Brian’s a bad father hey Dad
I know we haven’t talked in a while but
I’m calling because I’m on my way to
Quahog yes we know it’s the name of the
episode yes we know eventually Brian and
his estranged son Dylan make up but the
lead up to all this is so
cringe-inducing so forced at the ends
hardly justify the means you’re a
terrible father I never want to see you
again Brian even uses Stewie to
apologize for him when Dylan demands
space from his father
all this after Brian used the son he
never wanted to further his writing
career meanwhile the typically wacky
antics of Peter and his friends are
replaced by arguing betrayal and
shooting each other in the face he shot
me I mean if we’re doing things fair
here this episode really knows how
real-life relatable families and
friendships work number five
herpy the love sore
from babies getting pregnant to babies
getting herpes this Family Guy episode
sets a new low for the series Brian and
Stewie become blood brothers but Brian
fails to mention to his infant friend
that he has herpes
this causes Stewie to get the disease
too and after some pitiful attempts at
revenge the to end up reconciling Brian
tells Stewie that the reason he didn’t
tell Stewie about the herpes was that he
was embarrassed and as if that was an
acceptable excuse Stewie forgives him
and just accepts the fact that he has
herpes for the rest of his life now all
right no more just talking about this
episode makes one need a shower
what the hell do you guys want from me I
want to drive your Prius at the end of
the block all by myself that’s it yes
okay yay number four screams of silence
the story of Brenda Q did you know what
Family Guy the cartoon featuring an
effeminate evil mastermind baby into
talking alcoholic dog needs a serious
story about abuse of course this episode
is littered with head-shaking moments
like the scene where Quagmire’s sister
is being beaten by her husband and
everyone in the neighborhood is awake to
let’s waste this dick it’s a scene that
plays out in excruciating detail and one
that just makes you wince and ask why
while the episode ends on a positive
note for Brenda quagmire it teaches the
audience that the best way to deal with
abuse is revenge and ultimately murder
you know classic comedy a little rough
Peter I didn’t write it Joe did number 3
Life of Brian a universally hated
episode and the one with the lowest IMDB
score on our list this one is despised
by fans especially not only did they
take one of the most lovable characters
and replace him with the quote-unquote
hilarious Vinny but they did it just to
shake things up Wow look at you Vinny
it’s like you’re already part of the
family viewers were shocked by this
overly emotional lame episode and
apparently the actors were too what
surprised them even more was the fans
reaction and creator Seth MacFarlane is
quoted as saying we were all very
surprised in a good way that people
still cared enough about that character
to get that angry what caring when a
funny character is replaced by one
that’s lame get out of town number two
fresh air all right here comes the
meteor sized ball drop collectively the
worst part about this episode is all the
uncomfortable incest jokes from Carter
giving his grandson hand pleasure to
Peter attempting to marry his son one
may notice the absence of laughter and
the rise of sounds like oh and I don’t I
don’t know what to do now feel that
chill down your spine that’s your brain
trying to escape your body and hide from
this episode so Peter tries to marry
Chris so that he can steal the money
that Carter left to him two roads
diverged in a wood and I I took the one
less traveled now I ain’t no scarlet but
if that’s not a metaphor for
major-league BUTT STUFF I don’t know
what is pay attention to this recipe
people one cup of incest one cup of ugly
motivations and a whole lot of
awkwardness make for a perfectly
terrible episode before we unveil our
number one pick
here are some dishonorable mentions okay
you know what elephant in the room I’ll
say it so I do you miss your penis
thank you for asking it yes no it’s okay
it’s a perfectly normal question we
can’t sit here and just pretend
everything’s the same
a book-burning come on grab an armful we
have to destroy everything that’s
harmful to God it worked
I’m free at last but what about chip
where’s chip hey everybody mop who’s
walking sure number one seahorse
seashell party here it is folks the
asteroid that killed the dinosaurs sized
ball drop the worst family guy episode
of all time this one’s a doozy too
drawing bad ideas from the others on
this list bang bang I’m gonna finger
bang you Chris ha ha ha not a bite
bender bang you first dad it’s a final
episode with more drama than comedy that
focuses yet again on abuse man don’t
talk to your father like that yeah shut
up Meg
no you shut up Chris I am sick of all
you guys ganging up on me well we have
to give Meg some kudos for finally
standing up for herself she completely
goes back on it all by deciding to be
the family’s martyr
maybe if I feel bad they don’t have to
we get that Family Guy likes to make
taboo jokes and take controversial
angles but the ending pretty much
communicates that people in abusive
relationships should stay there and
there’s nothing funny about that
you’re a bitch yes yes I am do you agree
