Seahorse Seashell Party was where they crossed the line with a stupid and harmful message (stay in abusive relationships to keep your abusers happy), so it seems the show learned from this and started bashing itself. And yes, Family Guy bashes itself a lot recently.

A group of friends and I watched that episode at a sleepover one night when we were really young teenagers, the fact that it was a special day meant that we could stay up late enough to watch the later hours of [adult swim] and we made sure to take advantage of it. The episode playing was that "Seahorse Seashell Party" one that you mentioned and it literally put us all to sleep. It was that boring. Yeah, the scenes of Brian tripping out on shrooms were kind of cool but the rest of just bored us to no end. That Family Guy episode could probably be used as a non-traditional form of Nyquil lol. I get what you were saying about the message and I agree that it was wrong but at the time, we were too busy waiting for something interesting to happen that we hardly even noticed that message.
