10 Family Guy Episodes Probably Made Out Of Spite
5. Jesus, Mary & Joseph (S11E8)
As said previously, Seth MacFarlane isn’t exactly one for religion. Not only has there previously been an episode of Family Guy that called out Christianity, and really just organized religion in general, here the target became a bit more specific.
As Peter and the family sat down after decorating the Christmas tree, he began to tell them a story. It wasn’t Star Wars this time, but the tale of Jesus, Mary, and Joseph. The tone was set straight away as Peter described it as an awe-inspiring tale that has cost millions and millions of lives.
From here the episode essentially cracked jokes at the expense of both the story and Christianity in general, pointed out plot holes, and made light of one of the most important aspects of the entire Bible.
There have been plenty of Family Guy episodes that have been based around Christianity, such as Jesus pretending to be a virgin just to get girls, but here the writers targeted one specific piece of the religion and completely tore it to shreds.
