10 Times Family Guy Went Way Too Far
5. Michael J. Fox Cutaway
This entry occurs in the episode “Tiegs for Two”. Family Guy is well known for its cutaways, which are usually just overly long and annoying.
However this cutaway is not long and just offensive. Michael J Fox is a well known sufferer of Parkinson Disease.
The cutaway begins with Peter saying they were going to air this cutaway but it would be too offensive. However, right after this they show it anyway. It sees Michael J Fox spill red wine onto Peter’s white shirt due to his shakiness.
Although Fox himself may not have taken offence to this as he has joked about his condition in the past, many other people that have the disease may well have.
