I don’t know why my friends always want to talk about people, or politics, or even give advice or discuss the weather. Conversation should be funnier than that, you know? It should have an original edge to it, like, you know, real creative and edgy. So, when my friends are like, “Let’s talk about our plans for the evening,” I’m like “There’s a sweet Family Guy where they try to make plans, and Homer Peter does something selfish but Marge Lois forgives him.” Or when my girlfriend’s like, “I want to talk about how empty our relationship is,” I’m just like, “That’s cliche talk. Let’s talk Family Guy.”
It’s just such a good show. Like the episode where Santa’s Little Helper Brian runs onto the dog racing track. That’s one of my favorites. Another good one is when Marge Lois stumbles into a casino and develops a gambling problem. I can’t get enough. Thank God it’s in syndication virtually everywhere all the time, or I wouldn’t know what I’d do with myself. I brought it up with my co-workers down at Home Depot, and they were like, “Don’t you have anything better to talk about?” and I said, “No. What, do you want me to talk about how my girlfriend thinks I’m suffocating her? Is that what you want? Didn’t think so.”
Ugh. She says things like, “Being with you is worse than being waterboarded. I feel trapped.” I said, “Woah, that joke’s edgy. You should write for Family Guy.” It’s good to know Peter Griffin gets away with how negligent he is. Certainly makes me feel better about myself, that’s for sure.
