Recommended: Family guy cultural stereotypes

Shipoopi came from one of my older brothers who watched an episode of “Family Guy” and was not trying to say a curse word, but instead said shipoopi. The word stayed with us because we never say any curse words and were raised not to. At first it was only him but then after a while it was all of us, and as time went by the word transformed from “shipoopi” to “poop.” Even though we rarely use shipoopi it is still used but not as often as before. In addition, shipoopi has little history, and is used mainly by us in many circumstances that we come across. As said before, my brother got the word shipoopi from “Family Guy” who got it from the 1957 movie called “The Music Man” where the star character sang a song that was called shipoopi. Family

    1284 Words  | 3 Pages

    Family Guy, an animated sitcom about a New England family and their everyday dilemmas, is a way for viewers to see the comedic side of a dysfunctional family. The Griffins consist of Peter and Lois, the patriarch and matriarch, and Meg, Chris, and Stewie are the children(Family Guy). Every character is different from the next character. They are also weird in their own way. The television show itself displays feminism, structuralism, and gay and lesbian criticism. Each character in the show also displays those criticisms in a certain fashion. Family Guy can be offensive to viewers with its satire, and the way the show delivers its message can make the family and the other characters in the show seem dysfunctional.

    When people think of the F word, they tend to think of a certain four letter. To Firoozeh Dumas, the F word means years of discrimination.

    How can I ever forget a time when I said a swear word in front of my mom. I was at the grocery store shopping with my mom and cousin. I was already upset because I got in trouble at home already. My cousin just kept messing with me and making fun of me and I just told her to “shut the fuck up.” Don’t you just hate those nagging little cousins that laugh at everything? I tried to say it as low as possible but my mom has ears like a hawk. Man I swear I never got slapped so hard a day in my life. From that day forward I swore that I wouldn’t say any swear words ever. Do you ever wonder where swearing words originated from? Or even people views on how they feel about them? Barbara Lawrence has an issue with swearing words because people use different terminology such as: “Broad”, “chick”, “piece of tail” and other sorts of harmful words to downgrade women. Bill Bryson on the other hand says that swear words are merely considered bad because they are considered bad. A similarity that both Lawrence and Bryson have is when they mentioned the word “ficken”, which is a German or Latin word meaning f***. The difference between the two are that Bryson explains the different words the Romans created and used over 1,500 years ago and Lawrence explains that some

  • Menace II Society

    856 Words  | 2 Pages

    Menace II Society, a film about a young Black man who has lived the “hustler” lifestyle and is struggling to leave it, is a perfect example of deviance as the main character, Caine Lawson, and the characters around him violate many of society’s norms. Throughout the film, the characters swear incessantly, carry around guns and drugs as most people would carry around cell phones, commit street crimes, especially burglary and mugging, on a regular basis, and beat and kill people unscrupulously. The following quote captures just how deviant Caine and the other characters in this film were, “[Caine] went into the store just to get a beer. Came out an accessory to murder and armed robbery. It's funny like that in the hood sometimes. You never knew what was gonna happen, or when” (Albert Hughes). Why would Caine consider these crimes “funny”, or rather, so insignificant? What caused Caine to become so deviant? The answers to such questions were woven into the plot of the film and will be discussed in the following paragraphs.

  • Humor In Family Guy

    1208 Words  | 3 Pages

    In the television series Family Guy, there are many episodes that contain different types of humor including: slapstick humor, pop-culture humor, and offensive humor. Because of the use of so many types of humor, Family Guy appeals to a very unique and somewhat split demographic. The demographic is unique because the pop-culture references embedded in Family Guy’s format are primarily drawn from the 1970s and 80s, so only previous generations are guaranteed to get all the references; yet, the humor tactics involved appeal to younger people and can even be called “immature.” According to the show’s creator, Family Guy’s target audience is men between the ages of 18 and 34 years old.

  • Transmedia Storytelling In The Family Guy

    521 Words  | 2 Pages

    The fans entrance into the story of The Family Guy was only symbolic, two performances of Family Guy Life! were limited only to reading old episodes aloud by the cast members from the stage. The audience did not acquire any new knowledge about the story nor took part in the show so unique and personal experience of a viewer may be arguable. However, when it comes to extractability, which means merchandising, the variety of products is huge: adult costumes of each character, masks, an interactive playset, belt buckles, mugs, t-shirts, board games, wristbands and numerous other gadgets will not let you forget about for favourite show.

  • Fiddler On The Roof

    The play I have chosen was Fiddler on the Roof, being so because it holds a lot of value to me and it is also enjoyable. I believe that Fiddler on the roof holds a multitude of genres with in the three hour plays; it is a romantic, comedic musical. Not only that but it holds a deep meaning, so I guess you could say it’s a musical drama. Throughout the play/film the musical style of the film represented not only the music of Eastern Europe but styles of artwork as well. The humor, musical style and pathos represented how they lived; based off of different European cultures such as Hungarian, Romanian and Russian folk music, the film was also mixed with the romantic style of the Jewish culture and folk music of this time. The theme of this play can be seen as a doina which is the Romanian aspect as well as a plaintive instrumental solo which later on becomes a larger work.
