I got side-splitting laughter from watching not just those snippets but the whole episode - even it's 'sad' ending.
Not so funny though is the accuracy of that biting social commentary. How large segments of the population have become - by design - hypersensitive intolerant thought police.
With 'approved' social media the ideal vehicle to implement self-policing via mass censure. And in general transforming otherwise balanced human beings into time-waster empty-head chatter boxes.

One shudders to think how this will likely trend into the future.
That’s so funny it’s sad. At these moments I wonder what percentage of the population actually thinks it’s funny or can see the humor? I do but am I with the majority? Tragicomedy at its best.
To get the context (humour is a bit context dependent) I had a look at a Family Guy episode on youtube. O dear O dear. I think I might have accidentally become addicted.

I've been a fan of Family Guy for years now. Every now and then their social commentary cutaways just tickle the crap out of my funny bone. Very good comedic writing.
Can we have our homophobic misogynist back now please?
