The most frustrating thing about Family Guy is that most of the writing is extremely lazy, with easy cut-away jokes pinned onto weak, unimaginative storylines. As an extremely popular, Emmy-nominated, prime-time series, Family Guy has license to say and do whatever its writing staff can dream up. And yet they choose to rely on cheap jokes and recycled plotlines? Week after week, the writers are letting down the millions of fans who have been exceptionally loyal from the very beginning, who spent so much money on DVDs that Fox brought the show back after a one-year hiatus. It's offensive, and not in that edgy way they're going for.

There's a new Family Guy episode tonight at 9:00 PM on Fox. Instead of looking up what it's about, since it rarely matters, I've instead written a Mad Lib that I assume covers its action:

Peter finds out that he's (Race/Religion/Gender/Weight) and has a feud with (Former Star of a '70s/'80s/'90s sitcom). In the end, though, after a wacky turn of events, it ends up that he was actually just (Adjective) all along. Meanwhile, Brian and Stewie find themselves caught in a (Synonym for "Homoerotic") situation. Guest Starring (Actor We Kind of Like) as the voice of the ghost of (Supporting Character)'s (Horrible, Disgusting Noun).
