Most will agree that the first 3 seasons of Family Guy were funny because of it's edgy, irreverent, and self-reverential humor. However, when it returned in 2006, "edgy" was no longer edgy, and all the show did was to make fun of itself and offend minority groups, and after 3 seasons of a previously "new" type of humor, people expected it's glorious return to usher in humor at a similarly new and creative level, while its bad and lazy writing fell curse to thinking it was funnier than it actually was. The issues surrounding why Family Guy is no longer funny comprise a long list, and it's a list not even worth reviewing.
However, thanks to the magic of the Internet, FOX puts all episodes of Family Guy online for free, and while it isn't worth my bandwidth and hard drive space to download episodes, HULU can be a nice filler when doing random chores. Well, while doing the below-mentioned boring and tedious job of ironing shirts and pants for the week, I came upon a new episode of Family Guy that finally found a winning combination for "funny":
Kirk Cameron bashing AND the cast from Star Trek: The Next Generation
