I stopped watching the Simpsons when they started replacing jokes with references to ipads, ipods, (insert latest gadget here). Desperately trying to "keep up with the kidz" does not equate to comedy. Now if Peter Griffin got hold of some bitcoins, that's a different story  Grin

i stopped watching family guy 1 season after they came back. some of the gags are good, but i don't know.. it's a lot of non-sequitor humor, and i may be a little elitist when i say this, but a lot of dumb people make family guy references and think they are very smart.

but yeah, if there's a reference to bitcoins on the simpsons, you know you've made it to the mainstream.

Oh for fuck's sake

You either laugh at the jokes or you dont.

Just because dumb ppl get the jokes doesnt mean the jokes are dumb

And yes you sound like a smartass if you think a joke has to be smart to be funny.

GTFO, bitcoin is too dumb for you.


i never said family guy jokes are dumb. i just i've seen not so bright people use the reasoning of "you have smart taste, you like family guy." family guy references/jokes are okay with me though, but they are basically non-sequitor pop reference jokes.

I know lots of smart people, and by and large, they all like family guy. I also know lots of dumb people, and they "don't get it". Doesn't prove anything, just an observation. Monty python was full of non-sequitors ....... probably most influential comedy of the last 40 years. If u don't find it that funny, don't watch it. Its not really something worth arguing over is it.

well, i wasn't the one raising arms over the issue. i don't know the numbers, sure, but i wouldn't be surprised if smart people liked family guy.. but from my anecdotal standpoint, a lot of potheads watch it and pass it off as "smart comedy." but hey, to each his own.

Huge numbers of potheads followed Monty Python in the 70''s as well. Anyway, in the end, peoples' taste in comedy is their own, much like music. I don't see Family Guy as being intellectual in any way, but to me at least it is one of the funniest things on TV. Beats the Simpsons but that's not hard these days, these seem to have run out of gags a long time ago.

Krusty is an early bitcoin user. He lost few thousand coins on silkroad and got the rest hold-up in mtgox. He is rumored to be satoshi's real identity.
Seriously though Yay for mainstream!

and maybe he pre-ordered from butterfly labs...  Grin

There's a heck of a lot of dumb people watch the simpsons too ....

Family Guy ... I don't know how they could have killed Brian off and replaced him with some "thing" that sounds like he's off Top Cat. Very bad choice.

Krusty spent all his bitcoins buying cocaine on Silk Road.

It was bound to happen sooner or later.  Either that or gamble it all away betting against the Harlem Globetrotters.

Yeah, Lisa should have replied : "why didn't you just buy and hold" ?  Wink

I have a conspiracy theory that Blitz is Krusty..... He is a clown for sure.
