10 Most Offensive Family Guy Moments Ever

9. "Stroke! Stroke! Stroke!"

Family Guy has never shied away from depicting disability, and the episode where Peter has a stroke after eating 30 hamburgers in one sitting is particularly brutal, but very, very funny. The sequence where Peter goes for a drive while singing along to R.E.M. with his numb arm trapped in the door is both shocking and hilarious. The punchline to the scene involving a passing rowing team is also a gem. While it is hard not to laugh at, this particular episode can probably be deemed to be more gratuitously offensive than some others on the list. Family Guy just about gets away with it for the fact that Peter more or less caused his own illness €“ having seen first-hand the effects a stroke can have on somebody, it would be a lot harder to find this funny otherwise. Family Guy never shows away from depicting ailments and illness in a humerous light. For me, the only time they truly crossed the line was in some of their depictions of mental illness and learning difficulties, Sarah Palin's daughter having a particularly crass cameo as Chris' new girlfriend springing immediately to mind. However, they always seemed to handle physical illness and injury quote well, making them grotesque enough to laugh at without being too realistic, and therefore being insulting rather than offensive.
