I had just recently started watching it at the time and had no idea just how inappropriate it was. My mom is a bit of a Dr. Seuss fan so I thought it would be a good idea to start her off with an episode parodying The Cat in the Hat........but little did I know that it was by far the most inappropriate episode they'd ever made. The episode in question featured jokes about STDs, suicide, prostitution, masturbation, drugs, murder, vibrators, making fun of someone having a stroke, killing puppies, vomit, poop, and male genitalia. Yup, all in the same episode. Long story short, it was extremely awkward to watch with my mom.

Apparently this is a common issue because the time I introduced Mom to Family Guy was just as bad. The random episode I just so happened to show her ended up having one of the most awkward plots in television history. It was about Lois developing a crush on Meg's boyfriend (who's underage btw) and causing the family to split apart when Meg catches her mom making out with her underage boyfriend on the couch. I know that sounds awful but that was only the start of all the awkward scenes they somehow were able to cram into this one episode. The very first scene was about Peter talking about how hot his daughter is as a teenager and kissing her on the lips. Yeah, that was a terrible first impression my mom had of a show that I would constantly tell her how funny it is. The subplot wasn't any better as it involved Stewie dressing up as a woman to start on a local access children's shows. Sounds innocent enough until he falls in love with a girl in his class. The one problem with that is........she doesn't know that Stewie's actually a boy because of his feminine disguise which causes her to believe he's a lesbian and of course shit goes downhill from there. Guess what? That doesn't even count all the extremely crude cutaway gags. These cringeworthy, extremely bizarre segments included Jesus Christ beating up a little kid, James Earl Jones attempting to fit in the Darth Vader costume with no success (they were basically making fun of him for being fat), Bert and Ernie being portayed as homosexuals, Meg dating a kid with no legs, and Meg violently yanking out her own tooth for no reason. After the episode ended, my mom thought I was crazy for finding things like that funny. I then explained to her that the show isn't always like that and we went on with our day like any other.
