The Simpsons: 10 Most Controversial Moments Ever
5. Stewie's Rape Prank
The Simpsons have done the odd crossover here and there with other shows. While a lot of them weren’t well received, they were generally deemed to be controversy-free. That was not the case for their crossover episode with the Family Guy.
There was always the potential for this to get problematic, owing to Family Guy’s more adult oriented content. That potential was fully realized during the scene where Bart and Stewie get together to have some fun at the expense of others.
It starts off as a run-of-the-mill prank calling segment where Bart is ringing up Moe's Tavern and talking nonsense. He then passes the phone to Stewie. In typical Family Guy fashion, it descends into to controversial territory in absolutely no time. Stewie’s idea of a prank call…was to tell Moe his sister is being raped. Yikes.
