Top 20 Darkest Moments On Family Guy

this is lonelier than a Kennedy family reunion where is everybody oh yeah they're dead welcome to watch Mojo and today we're counting down our picks for the top 20 darkest moments on Family Guy not to sound ghoulish but any indication how much longer you're going to linger for this list we're looking at the most tragic and unsettling jokes or moments from the show which of these jokes Disturbed you the most let us know in the comments below number 20 Brian gives Stewie an STI there are disgusting episodes and then there's herpe the love sore a very dark and nasty piece of work it concerns Stewie Contracting herpes from Brian after the two become Blood Brothers I think we should hold hands more often there you go we're Blood Brothers now you happy the story alone is quite disturbing but what makes the whole situation worse are the revolting visuals that accompany it he has a graphic sore on his face throughout much of the episode and at one point we're treated to the gag inducing site of future Stewie's pus leaking sores look at my lip it's a Happy song oh and now I have some very uncomfortable phone calls to make gross out humor has its place but this whole storyline has a very unpleasant atmosphere about it number 19 mayor mcchees as JFK assassinations are obviously a very sensitive subject and joking about them requires towing a very fine line Family Guy may have crossed that line here road to the Multiverse features a particular joke that sees mayor mcchees standing in for JFK so Nixon won the 1960 election and totally botched the Cuban Missile Crisis causing World War III wow so I guess Lee Harvey Oswald never shot Kennedy no he shot mayor mcchees like Kennedy mcchees is shot and killed by Lee Harvey Oswald we're then treated to a very perturbing visual as Jackie Kennedy climbs out of the car and eats pieces of mcchees's head yes the joke is that he's an actual hamburger but it's playing on a very real tragedy and the unforgettably brutal footage that accompanied it for some the darkness May outweigh the humor at least the show acknowledged its own bad taste that joke's not in bad taste right oh who cares he's a cheeseburger number 18. Michael J fox ruins Peter's shirt and speaking of the show acknowledging its own bad taste let's talk about Michael J fox you only have two white shirts well I had a third one but I got ruined at that wine tasting at Michael J Fox's house in a rather brilliant but upsetting gag Peter sets up a cutaway involving Fox before speaking to the camera and informing viewers that they won't be showing the bit of course this is the bit with Peter explaining the Cutaway and then showing a check with illegible scribbles anyway I shot him the bill and he sent me this check but uh it's I don't I don't I don't think I'm gonna be able to cash this just to rub salt in the wound they then show the Cutaway anyway with Fox spilling red wine on Peter's shirt like some of the other jokes this one is rather distasteful as making fun of things like disease can be taboo and insensitive number 17 Stewie's grotesque injuries well I'm off to buy imaginary groceries season 8 is widely considered to be one of the shows worst with many fans singling out the darker tone and increased use of explicit violence that is on Full display in Brian Griffin's house of pain Stewie is accidentally knocked down the stairs and gets a massive gash in his head that knocks him into a comatose state he then spends the rest of the episode unconscious and with an incredibly Vivid and rotting head wound it even draws the attention of a raccoon even by Family Guy standards the subplot was wickedly unpleasant hey I just found out it's November number 16 aggressive cancer yeah that's a great achievement just like the first chemotherapy patient to figure out the handkerchief look as we now know Family Guy isn't afraid to joke about things like assassinations and Parkinson's well we can now add cancer to the list a couple displays great enthusiasm at the man's new bandana and they share a very brief moment of Happiness before reality comes crashing back down with a grim reminder it's like you don't even have cancer I know come on no but I still have pretty aggressive cancer many people don't like making light of cancer especially highly Advanced forms that seems to be the case with this poor man and while the show wants to make us laugh we on the other hand just feel bad for the guy number 15. Peter drives through the Boston Marathon holy crap this is awesome I haven't felt a rush like this since I won that Marathon let's just take a moment to acknowledge that Peter is a mass killer not just in this episode but like in general in one of his coldest moments he participates in the Boston Marathon by driving his car to the Finish Line unfortunately this means running over and presumably killing dozens of Runners it's an unbelievably grisly joke at the best of times but this episode aired less than a month before the attacks at the Boston Marathon in 2013. the tragic connection resulted in the episode being pulled from various services including Hulu and Amazon there are dark jokes and then there's watching the protagonist happily commit a massacre what do you guys say we all go celebrate at the clam number 14 Peter reveals Anne Frank sorry Chris me and my damn appetite this isn't the first time it's got me into trouble Family Guy likes pushing buttons and that often comes at the expense of real people and it arguably doesn't get much darker than the Holocaust Anne Frank was a Jewish girl who hid from Nazis in the occupied Netherlands her family remained hidden for years before they were captured on August 4th 1944. Frank was subsequently taken to a concentration camp and died in custody we still don't know how they were found but Family Guy suggests it was because of Peter he's shown hiding with the Franks and loudly eating potato chips which attracts the attention of the Nazis few shows would approach the Holocaust and the murder of a family with such Vigor but that's what helps Family Guys stand out from the pack number 13 Peter defends Chris in this episode Peter develops a fondness for tormenting his friends and family what is wrong with you what's wrong with me you know unfortunately touching your face The end the entire storyline is rather disturbing as he uses Joe as a string puppet and pours boiling water on Lois but it all starts with the horrific treatment of Kyle Kyle has been pushing Chris around literally and Peter decides to confront him after some goading that clearly hits a nerve Peter sees red and physically squares up to a son's Tormentor shut up Kyle I'm Peter Griffin I'm a dorky fat numb nuts Kyle I said shut up you're a poop nose it is a very difficult scene to watch the subject matter alone is rather unsettling but the visuals and sound effects really add to its distressing nature at Peter realizes he's done wrong as he as he runs home in a clear Panic number 12 Peter has a stroke now Family Guy is going after stroke victims Peter are you winking at me oh my God someone called an ambulance Peter eats dozens of hamburgers and suffers a huge stroke that leaves half of his body paralyzed viewers are then treated to a rather graphic depiction of stroke symptoms half of Peter's face droops heavily his speech is severely affected and he clearly struggles to walk as he drags his paralyzed leg behind him at one point he even slams his arm in the car door and fails to realize it for some these scenes may prove highly offensive as they're asking us to laugh at the severe symptoms of a medical emergency stroke stroke stroke stop mocking me number 11 the death of Cecil pritchfield this is a very unique episode of Family Guy featuring limited commercial breaks and extended run time no cutaways and the presence of Sir Ian McKellen send in Stewie please he plays Dr Cecil pritchfield a child psychologist who attempts to dig through Stewie's psyche he eventually breaks through the facade but begins to suffer from a heart attack he asks Stewie to get his medication but the baby is unwilling to help as the psychologist knows his deepest Secrets um yeah listen you're not gonna like this do we seize an opportunity and watch as Cecil die although he later feels extreme guilt this episode may have all been a dream but it may have also been a memory either way Stewie did a bad thing and he is well aware of it Brian yeah I did something awful do you want to talk about it no number 10 everything with John Herbert not many shows regularly feature a character as open about crimes as bad as this carrion piss off you perverted old freak Herbert is the Griffin's neighbor and he's got a thing for boys including Chris the creepo made his debut Into Love and Die in Dixie by inviting Chris to perform a very inappropriate act got a nice tip for you right here in my pocket but my arthritis why don't you reach in there and fish it out for yourself and he hasn't gotten any more pleasant from there Herbert loves to watch Chris eat hot dogs spies on him through the window and attempts to catch children in a butterfly net at one point he even asks Brian for an ice cream truck super creepy you know with colorful pictures of ice cream treats and it plays a tune it's fun for the young children number nine Peter blows up a hospital in this episode from season 15 Peter and Lois misguidedly become vehement anti-vaxxers we were gonna get steely vaccinated but now after our research we're definitely not as if that's not dark enough Peter mentions that he destroyed the entire Town's supply of vaccines and the scene then cuts to a parody of The Dark Knight Peter is dressed as the Joker and walking away from an exploding hospital with who knows how many people dying in the process once again Peter is presumably committing mass murder this time in an act of domestic terrorism if that wasn't dark enough he then makes a comment about going home and all right what else did I have to do today oh yes overdose in my apartment I better get home which references the death of Joker actor Heath Ledger it's a rather vicious one-two punch that may leave some Jaws on the floor number eight terminal news well I better tell Cleveland I got a neck for delivering bad news I don't know how to tell you this Mr devaney so I'll let these guys do it shocking Family Guy musical numbers are nothing new they've been going strong since season four in the fourth season episode the Cleveland Loretta Quagmire Peter Racine with a barbershop quartet giving a man his AIDS diagnosis through song and dance the crew admitted that the joke was meant to be tasteless in the DVD commentary and their intentions were realized as several AIDS organizations protested the song and its content Family Guy goes to Dark Places and cheerfully singing about a deadly pandemic and jokingly call it full-blown AIDS is undoubtedly one of its darkest moments being [Applause] number seven Stewie gets revenge on Olivia and Victor Stewie Stewie's Victor we did a Flintstones Vitamins commercial together 10 million strong and growing we know Stewie is psychotic but we didn't think he'd ever go this far in the episode chick cancer Stewie reunites with his old musical pal Olivia Fuller when she returns to Quahog however Stewie later finds Olivia playing with her friend Victor and feeling betrayed he sets the playhouse on fire with Olivia and Victor inside is that smoke idea for a fast cheating wife and Papa's ass burned alive this obviously isn't meant to be taken seriously but watching them be set on fire makes for some incredibly difficult viewing while Olivia would return in season 15 viewers went 10 years with no reason to think Stewie wasn't a murderer you know the last time I saw you you were burning in a cardboard turning in a cardboard house yeah number six Ryan's fate Ryan look out God Ryan unlike its animated peers Family Guy isn't known for packing dramatic punches but Brian's death certainly got the tears flowing in Life of Brian Brian is run over by a car his injuries are horrific and sad enough but then the Griffins learned that they'll have to put him down Brian says a touching farewell before passing away you you've given me a Wonderful Life while Stewie would eventually save his pal with the power of time travel his initial death was both terribly sad and painfully dark especially for those who've gone through similar situations with their beloved pets wow Stewie thank you for saving my life you know a lot of other families would have just gotten a different dog and moved on oh oh we we could we could never do something like that Brian 5. Brenda's boyfriend she's a hot piece of ass and from the looks of it she likes it rough that's my sister Brian her boyfriend has been beating her mercilessly the last thing she'd want right now is to be objectified oh God I'm I'm really sorry I got a deaf brother you want to make fun of him too Family Guy often covers touchy and dramatic subjects but it usually does it with surrealism and or tongue-in-cheek humor not so with Brenda's violent boyfriend Jeff in the episode Jerome is the New Black Quagmire is Sheltering his sister from the abuse when Jeff shows up with a baseball bat their story is given significant attention in the episode screams of Silence the story of Brenda Q as the Griffins and Quagmire attempt to save the submissive and defensive Brenda from her relationship it's all taken unusually seriously and their story can be a little too realistic and upsetting for some to handle wow I guess he's really gone [Laughter] I kind of want to kill somebody else now number four Stewie and Brian's Christmas home invasion well so much for holiday cheer in the Christmas special road to the North Pole Stewie and Brian take on the role of Santa when the real Santa is too sick and exhausted but their first stop proves to be disastrous all right look let's let's just go right right we'll go I'm just going to re-wrap this bat for um Johnny let me just clean his father's blood and hair off it Daddy I want a drink of water Stewie attacks the father with a baseball bat he and Brian physically attacked the mother after she discovers his body and they tie up the daughter with duct tape it's unclear if the two survived but judging by the spilled blood we're gonna say no it's a horribly gruesome scene that perfectly highlights the show's penchant for shock value and excessive violence all right come on let's get out of here number three Ryan's Revelation just tell me come on no come on please the episode Brian and Stewie is a bit of an enigma not only is it light on the jokes but it also features just those characters while tackling some extremely heavy subject matter like finding out that Brian has contemplated taking his own life sometimes it's it's all too much what is life everything given that Brian is a staunch supporter of gun control Stewie naturally asks him why he has a gun in a safety deposit box Brian then reluctantly reveals that he's unhappy and finds comfort in the fact that he has a way out while Peter has also broached the topic Brian scene is taken much more seriously and is one of the show's most upsetting and dramatic sequences I mean I love you as one loves another person whom one simply cannot do without why I love you too Stewie number two Peter Griffin Jr and you better be responsible tonight I don't want a repeat of the last time I left you alone with one of our children it's just so horrible the episode The Juice is loose contains what is arguably the darkest cutaway in the show's history and that is saying something after Lois reminds Peter of what he did the last time he was alone with the children the episode cuts to Peter Jr's grave Peter explains that he thought shaking Peter Jr would stop him from crying and then in true Family Guy fashion adds that he was kinda right only Family Guy can make a joke out of something like that and have it work but even then it's hard not to say they went too far I'm sorry Lois I thought if I shook him enough he'd stop crying I was kind of right before we continue be sure to subscribe to our Channel and ring the bell to get notified about our latest videos you have the option to be notified for occasional videos or all of them if you're on your phone make sure you go into your settings and switch on notifications number one Quagmire's Behavior towards the Simpsons see that wasn't so bad was it I gotta say that was fantastic what do you say we go back to your place for round two sounds good to me they might be Rivals but this is just way too much in the episode moving out Brian's Song a fake promotion for The Simpsons appears on screen and things turn horrific when Quagmire appears and he forces himself on Marge off screen hugely problematically Marge ends up liking it and she takes him home when Homer walks in Quagmire shoots the entire family you're amazing Glenn Ella I just take a lot of pride in what I do hey what's going on here unsurprisingly fox said no way and pull the joke from the air later told the producers of both shows that they could no longer attack each other the gag was eventually reinstated for the DVD release for all to watch in disbelief and disgust oh no who will pay for my saxophone lessons [Music] [Music]
