Family Guy's Nose Joke That Left Adrien Brody Furious
A joke that didn’t sit well with the Oscar-winning actor.
Created by Seth MacFarlane, Family Guy is known for its unconventional humor, witty dialogue, and satirical take on American culture. But one thing that truly sets Family Guy apart from other shows is its unerring knack for poking fun at celebrities.
No star, it seems, is safe from the hilarious jibes and jests thrown their way in this animated universe. From Hollywood A-listers to beloved musicians, high-profile politicians, the creators of Family Guy are experts at crafting clever, humorous parodies.
This daring approach is part and parcel of what makes Family Guy a uniquely entertaining show, one that doesn't shy away from pushing boundaries, breaking norms, and serving up its share of good-natured mockery in the name of comedy.
While most of the famous faces they roast take the jokes in stride, embracing the humor and even participating in the fun, there have been a few instances where the punchlines landed a bit too close to home.
Family Guy once sparked a bit of a tiff with a certain Hollywood star. The man in question is the Academy Award-winning actor, Adrien Brody.
Seth MacFarlane was asked on Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen if there was a celeb they've mocked on Family Guy who didn’t take it so well.
And MacFarlane did have a story to share. Turns out, there was one particular joke about Adrien Brody that didn't exactly land well with the actor himself.
The gag involved a scene in which a movie audience was watching Brody do sit-ups on the big screen. But it was all in 3, and it looked like Brody's nose was lunging out at them. As you can imagine, this wasn't Brody's favorite joke.
MacFarlane later found himself face to face with Brody at a party. MacFarlane decided to approach Brody to praise Splice, a sci-fi movie starring Brody. MacFarlane added “I hope there’s no hard feelings.”
As MacFarlane tells it, the response was a little icy. Brody made it clear — yes, there were indeed some hard feelings about the Family Guy nose gag. Not exactly the reaction MacFarlane was hoping for.
