one slip up and you'll be better than the first man to die in the battle of the boeing welcome to watch mojo and today we're counting down our picks for the top 20 celebrity reactions to family guy parodies hey my friend who should i make this out to yeah uh make it out to sharmon cause that's how i'm gonna use it for this list we'll be looking at household names who responded to this animated sitcom send-ups of themselves and their work which family guy celebrity caricature made you laugh the hardest let us know in the comments number 20 today hosts you know you've made it when family guy makes fun of you at least that's what the third hour today hosts told themselves peter immediately catches lois attention when he mentions the today show while lois is eager to talk about hoda cotby and savannah guthrie she writes off the third hour hosts as nonsense people second hour with hoda and savannah a third hour with the nonsense people second hour where is it a few weeks later on today dylan dreyer chanel jones craig melvin and al roker had a good laugh over the clip dreyer called it a career highlight while jones jokingly blamed roker for the savage burn craig was just glad that two cartoon characters were watching their show we made family guy it's like the highlight of my career [Music] it's your fault thank you considering that family guy is the king of nonsense humor they should consider it the highest compliment possible number 19. dan rather have you ever noticed that when news anchor dan rather speaks he sometimes put a distinct emphasis on his asses almost as if he's whistling to our soldiers sailors airmen and marines in dangerous places well the family guy writers noticed and you definitely will too after seeing this clip as stewie watches the news rather reads an alliteration where almost every word begins with s several of saddam's southern settlements squatters this causes rather to shoot steam out of his ear like a teapot requiring a crew member to move him over rather hadn't seen the clip until someone brought it up on an ask me anything reddit he responded with a reaction video cracking up over the steam joke and proclaiming his love for it so that's your reaction exactly i love it we wonder what rather thinks about some of the show's other jabs at him number 18 rush limbaugh on the political spectrum seth macfarlane and rush limbaugh are on opposite ends you suck and you're terrible and and and you've you've been divorced several times you'd expect family guy to take plenty of shots at limbaugh but you wouldn't think that the late conservative commentator would lend his voice yet limbaugh made multiple cameos in the laugh it up fuzzball trilogy my good friends the liberal galactic media is at it again they never stop now they're trying to convince us that hoth is melting he also played a key role in an episode where brian temporarily goes to the far right discussing why he accepted these guest spots limbaugh explains that he saw it as a chance to branch out from his fan base plus he thinks mcfarlane is really talented despite the numerous republican jokes limbaugh didn't find anything in the script that he wanted taken out since rush will be rushed though he did accuse fox of burying the episode you see you're not really one of us oh my god lois was right number 17. sarah snook if they ever make a live-action family guy movie sarah snook of succession should be in the running to play lois what are your best pals with him now have you done a deal they could even have brian cox as carter pewterschmidt peter references snook's likeness to his wife when he sends a mean tweet to her fine but i'm gonna tweet mean stuff at celebrities that look vaguely like you confusing snook for her character shiv roy peter tweets that her father will never give her the company we don't think shiv would appreciate peter's comments but kendall roy does the same night the episode aired succession won big at the sag awards although snook wasn't at the ceremony she posted her reaction on instagram she also shared her family guy clip citing it as one of three things that happened that day the third apparently involved cookie faces number 16 jonathan lipnicki we'd say that every former child star goes through an awkward stage but let's be honest everybody goes through an awkward stage ah there's the cute little guy now hang on nevertheless peter is beyond horrified to find that jonathan lipnicki has mutated from the adorable jerry maguire kid to well this look what has happened to jonathan lipnicki oh yeah no you you're you're right you should probably take care of that all although some of his fans felt family guy went too far the real lip nicki tweeted it was all in good fun adding that he had done some voice work for the show when tmz asked him about the gag lip nicki stated that it was an honor you know they're great guys so i don't take it personally i think it's funny and i'm honored to be made fun of on that show lipnicky also showed off his abs during the interview family guy might have portrayed him as a pudgy big-mouthed adolescent but lipnicky has actually gotten quite ripped so we guess he got the last laugh number robbie krieger so have you ever watched the family guy do you watch that show uh a little bit a little bit did you ever see the uh so you know they did a little parody scene of the doors movie i don't know if you ever saw it all right we'll hit play we'll see what you think peter is a lousy teacher but he does give chris and meg a mind-bending lesson on film and music history venturing into the desert while tripping on peyote peter and his two eldest children pay tribute to oliver stone's 1991 musical biopic the doors but first i must inhale and again [Music] and again [Music] let's go to the hollywood hills and kill a bunch of people while robbie krieger was vaguely familiar with family guy the door's parody had eluded the band's guitarist almost a decade after the episode first aired krieger filmed a reaction for the doors youtube channel krieger can be seen smiling and chuckling throughout he even cracks up at peter's final line alluding to the manson family although he seems to enjoy the bit krieger claims that the doors didn't do peyote in the desert at least not all together now you guys never actually went to the desert right you never did peyote in the desert not as a foursome number 14. john stewart although jon stewart voiced himself on american dad he's only been mentioned in passing on family guy steve i read your sketch packet and i just had to meet you according to mcfarland though he got an angry hour-long phone call from stuart about a family guy joke mcfarland didn't specify what the joke was or which episode it was from but it apparently involves the 2007 to 2008 ryder strike while both comedians supported the strike stewart would return to his show about a month before it actually ended it's been theorized that the inside joke regarding stuart saw peter grow a horse leg and kick brian for standing behind him whether or not this was the joke stewart wasn't pleased with mcfarlane mcfarland acknowledged that the joke might have crossed a line but he stood by its message he he was he was not pleased you know he i think his response was you know well you know who who the hell made you the the moral arbiter of hollywood which is you know number 13 gal gadot we can't say that gal gadot's imagine video was the worst thing to come out of march 2020 but what was intended to uplift humanity only inspired laughs and face palms imagine there's no heaven a year and a half after gadot sang along with her fellow celebrities family guy commented on the cringeworthy video encouraging people to get vaccinated stewie notes that another variant could lead to another lockdown leading to more of gadot's singing if the virus is allowed to spread through an unvaccinated population it could mutate into a variant that the vaccines might not protect against and then we're right back where we started gal gadot singing imagine we cannot let that happen gadot has acknowledged that her well-intentioned video misfired and has learned to laugh about it she shared the family guy psa on twitter writing i promise i'll never do that again if you get vaccinated gadot even encouraged her followers to watch the whole video family guy's official twitter account responded since you're vaccinated we forgive you well you know i just realized this is like one of those schoolhouse rocks except you know without the rock yeah it's like school way to end strong brian number 12 sarah palin so what do your parents do that's better my dad's an accountant and my mom is the former governor of alaska when chris dates a young lady with down syndrome named ellen she mentions that her mother is the former governor of alaska it's a clear jab at sarah palin who has a son with down syndrome who was about two when this episode aired on facebook bristol palin referred to family guy as a particularly pathetic cartoon calling the creators heartless jerks sarah palin shared similar criticisms on the o'reilly factor calling them cruel cold-hearted people those in the special needs community truly are some of the most loving and compassionate people in the world so why pile it on to them and make their lives even that much more challenging she said it better mcfarland discussed the controversy on bill maher noting that andrea fay freidman who voiced ellen and has down syndrome released a statement saying that the joke was directed to palin not her son friedman added i guess former governor palin does not have a sense of humor what sarah palin i think was doing was coming out and saying i'm here to defend you and and uh what andrea the actress had said was you know this this is i don't need this i love my life i'm i'm very happy number 11 an audience of celebs stewie and brian kicked off the 2007 primetime emmys with a musical number paying tribute to television well more specifically all the garbage on television cbs was once a network that was reverent and clean but today they've got some shows that are remarkably obscene like the show about a little boy who lives with charlie sheep the tune is set to the melody of the fcc song which already borrowed from the show tune volunteer fireman's picnic abc has got a lineup that's refreshing and alive with its hits like desperate housewives just continuing to thrive and those women look sensational for being 65. throughout the song the duo references the surprisingly creepy premise of two and a half men the ages of the desperate housewives cast and isaiah washington's dismissal from grey's anatomy while washington wasn't present tr knight was in the crowd now the peacock's having trouble simply staying in the race so i hear they're bringing seinfeld back to save a little face and i hear isaiah washington is taking kramer's place the camera cuts to reaction shots in the audience with charlie sheen terry hatcher felicity huffman eva longoria marsha cross james gandolfini and edie falco all laughing along their last jab comes at the expense of the sopranos [Music] number 10 george lucas [Music] sorry this is my joke lightsaber it's cute right okay for real now although family guy and star wars have fox in common well disney now mcfarlane and company likely wouldn't have produced blue harvest without lucasfilm's blessing despite getting permission mcfarland didn't have the best feeling when they screened the episode for george lucas at his ranch the crew have expected lucas to say you know what we can't allow this to air to their relief lucas laughed a few times cementing his approval i got him i got him right kid don't get penisy with the second star wars parody lucas did take issue with a certain four-lettered word and some other dark jokes but he ultimately signed off i love you with the third star wars parodies release mcfarland said they don't allow everything but they allow a lot they allow family guy to be family guy wow there are all kind of manner of crazy monsters in here yeah they added even more for the special edition hey what are you guys doing here number nine carrie elwes carrie elwes has many memorable roles to his name according to peter though his only noteworthy contributions to pop culture are the princess bride and robin hood men in tights dear cary elways i have been meaning to contact you for some time peter articulates this in a scathing fan letter to elwes some celebrities might call or email in response to a joke like this yes you were in robin hood men in tights did you know that elvis went a step beyond showing up to the family guy offices shortly after with a letter for peter which he read aloud in the writer's room mcfarland reflected the way he did it was just so epic and classy and hilarious that we now know we've got to bring him on the show for real since then elvis has indeed lent his voice to several characters including dr watson amazing holmes how did you know that number eight alyssa milano this might be cheating since alyssa milano was in on the joke but it's still technically a celebrity reacting to a parody defending the cigarette company that he works for peter makes a joke at the charmed actress's expense little does peter know that milano is watching the episode live and she has a lawyer on standby to sue if anyone ever pokes fun at her what kind of cheap shot joe i'm suing i'm suing i'm on it i'm on it fun fact joel is actually played by ricky blitt one of the episode's writers it'd be one thing if milano voiced a caricature of herself but having milano make a live-action appearance is what makes this joke so memorable alyssa milano i knew you were gonna be hot while milano didn't really sue family guy another celebrity on this list did more on that later number seven james woods ooh piece of candy oh a piece of candy ooh a piece of candy oh a piece of candy man i hope that's james woods cause if it's me under there again i'm gonna be really pissed off where many family guy caricatures require an impressionist james woods has voiced himself on numerous occasions woods was flattered when the show's school was called james woods high paving the way for him to guest star although he's depicted as an eccentric antagonist who torments the griffins woods stated in a 2015 interview that he enjoys making fun of himself so much so that he doesn't demand compensation family guy is a funny thing because i just really enjoy making fun of myself because it's just you know everybody else is going to do it i might as well join in three years later though the increasingly controversial woods tweeted that he turned down a family guy episode due to its anti-conservative nature woods hasn't voiced himself since 2016 while the school has become adam west high although his family guide days are likely over we'd love to hear the unreleased recording sessions between woods and seth macfarlane what were some of the things you were saying oh i could i said burn those tapes no i mean we're just we were believe me we make more fun of ourselves than anybody else number six willem dafoe we'd gladly take an evil monkey living in our closet over a green goblin under our bed through a cutaway gag stewie reflects on how willem dafoe used to reside beneath his crib i used to have a willem dafoe living under my bed hey you're asleep yet uh no just checking voiced by david anthony pizzuto defoe pops his head out from under the crib waiting for stewie to fall asleep the oscar-nominated actor smokes a cigarette to pass the time slithering back under where exactly do his legs go although defoe wasn't familiar with family guy somebody told him to check out the clip on youtube it's weird i mean i don't know the show but i know some people really love it dafoe thought it was weird but he also found the cameo pretty cool having a good laugh about it now if only joe could learn to pronounce willem's name correctly yeah i just love william defoe it's not william it's willem yeah that's what i said william he was in spider-man with kristen dunst kirsten dunst number five marley matlin an oscar winner and inspiration to deaf performers everywhere marley matlin has been parodied multiple times on family guy hi stewie oh come on marley i know you can't hear them but you gotta feel those things slapping out of there in addition to neglecting her farts while passing by stewie matlin struggles to book movie tickets over the phone please say the name of the movie you'd like to see now the last memphian you have selected 300. while alex borstein voices her matlin's agent supposedly got in touch asking why they didn't enlist the real matlin borstein and matlin later confronted each other on seth and alex's almost live comedy show mutlin jokingly criticizes borstein's impression and teaches her some suggestive sign language do you want to learn some savvy quotes yeah yeah behind the scenes matlin defended the various parodies of herself stating the day we censor humor is a sad one for sure all i gotta say is line up people matlin would eventually land a role in family guy voicing stella nice to meet you what what is this we doing a new secret handshake now no griffin she's deaf oh can she read lips yes i can so if i do this i can talk about what a sweet rack she has yes but try not to make a boob honking gesture with your other hand while you're saying it number four adam west outside of batman the late great adam west is perhaps best remembered for voicing a fictional version of himself on family guy so it's a shouting match you want eh well game on quahog i'm beating you although you could argue that mayor west isn't as absurd as some real-life politicians he's still eccentric to say the least mcfarland's collaboration with west began on johnny bravo planting the seeds for the mayor of quahog who are you newcomer johnny bravo oh well hand me that towel over the course of nearly two decades west led a crusade against water steelers dedicated a statue to dig him frog and destroyed the noid in various interviews west has acknowledged how absurd his dialogue is but he never had a problem with making fun of himself you can tell how much mcfarland admired west and considering that west compared mcfarland to batman the feeling was mutual for starters he has superhuman abilities number three adrian brody brief yet brutal the season nine premier took a shot at this oscar-winning actor's star power just for that when the movie of this story comes out i'm gonna make sure adrian brody plays you i guess that means you don't want anyone to see it oh okay all right but hey that's not true tom the house is packed when meg goes to see that 3d movie where mr brody does sit ups of course the 3d gets a little too real with brody's nose poking out of the screen one two despite making fun of him mcfarland reportedly let brody know at a party that he was a fan of the movie splice while mcfarland wanted to let bygones be bygones brody couldn't help but take offense to the mockery mcfarland didn't go into great detail but apparently there were hard feelings i said like hey i really like splice i hope there's no hard feelings and and essentially the upshot was well there are it's also worth noting that family guy isn't the only macfarlane cartoon that made fun of brody hello beautiful how'd you get so beautiful how'd you get that sunshine in your smile number two liam neeson liam neeson is a great actor but the northern ireland native doesn't put on the most convincing american accent family guy made fun of this with neeson voiced by writer john wiener struggling to play an all-american cowboy gonna take a fortnight at least to get this herd down to saint louis on mississippi this glen's gonna be tough to traverse and that river's got to be 50 60 meters wide when neeson's sons brought the clip to his attention it marked his introduction to family guy in an ironic twist mcfarland contacted neeson years later about starring in his cowboy comedy a million ways to die in the west neeson agreed to play the film's villain but only if he used his irish accent i said i'll do it on condition that i can use my own irish accent neeson has also voiced himself on a few occasions including one episode where he beats up peter that's what happens when you make fun of someone with a very particular set of skills that's right i hear you've been all over town saying you could kick my arse before we continue be sure to subscribe to our channel and ring the bell to get notified about our latest videos you have the

sketch show can be spotted although her screen time is brief and tamer than some other family guy caricatures burnett argued that fox had committed copyright infringement and violated her publicity rights sources reported that burnett sought between two and six million dollars in damages judge dean priegerson ultimately threw out the lawsuit citing the first amendment as family guy's ace in the hole however priggerson said that he fully appreciates how distasteful and offensive the segment is to miss burnett hey she got off easier than jimmy fallon did and this is for laughing and looking at
