Family Guy's 5 Most Savage Celebrity Takedowns
Seems like Family Guy just can’t give celebrities a break.
Family Guy is known for its irreverent and sometimes controversial humor, and celebrities are not exempt from being the target of their jokes. Whether it's targeting their weight, sexuality, or career choices, no one is safe from their biting humor.
Love it or hate it, you can always count on Family Guy to push the boundaries and make us laugh at the expense of famous faces. Let's remember those times Family Guy absolutely roasted and mocked some well-known stars.
John Goodman
Family Guy has taken aim at John Goodman's weight on multiple occasions. In one episode, they show him eating an entire Thanksgiving dinner while his skinny family looks on in disbelief.
But perhaps the most mean-spirited jab is when they tell him his EKG reading spells out "pancakes" and he needs a pair of horses to help him walk.
Justin Bieber
Back when it was cool to make fun of Justin Bieber, Family Guy joined in on the fun. In one episode, Lois attends his concert and someone in the audience talks about his gender-fluid appeal.
In another episode, Peter describes Bieber as a celebrity who became successful despite exposing himself.
Alec Baldwin
Alec Baldwin is another celebrity who has been targeted by Family Guy for his eating habits. In one disturbing cutaway, Baldwin is seen getting milked by his younger, less successful siblings. It's definitely a weird joke.
In an episode inspired by Star Wars, Quagmire mistakes Jabba the Hut for Alec Baldwin.
John Travolta
Family Guy seems to be convinced that John Travolta is a closeted gay and they're not afraid to make jokes about it. In one episode, a cutaway shows Travolta getting confused during his wedding vows and mentioning his wife's penis.
Peter compares his sexless sleeping arrangement with Lois to that of Travolta and his wife in another episode. They also imply that Travolta cheated on his wife in an episode where Quagmire catches him sleeping with someone else.
Jimmy Fallon
In one episode, Peter beats Jimmy on the set of Saturday Night Live for laughing and glancing at the camera too much, a criticism that was often directed towards him at the time.
When Fallon became the host of The Tonight Show, the jokes shifted to his safe and corporate image.
