Brian's racist tweet - Family Guy - Kornee - Jun 3, 2022

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.
