MacFarlane vs. Fox: The Beef Continues
For the benefit of those who can’t see the embed below, here’s the transcription of what MacFarlane had to say:
“Tucker Carlson’s latest opinion piece once again makes me wish Family Guy was on any other network. Look, Fox, we both know this marriage isn’t working anymore. The sex is only once a year, I don’t get along with your mother, and well… I’ve been having an affair with NBC.”

Beef: It’s What’s for Dinner
Folks, I don’t write the entertainment news, I just report it in a glibly entertaining manner. So don’t shoot the messenger here (even if he is having as much fun riffing on this as a late-night talk show host, or a cave troll on the loose in The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring.)
If MacFarlane’s comments rub you the wrong way, I encourage you to send your hate mail to the same dead letter office where a contingent of hypothetical Zack Snyder fans may have been sending their mail for the last two weeks. When you tweet, go ahead and include that same hashtag, #MegabucksMarvelPayolaDCMeathead, but feel free to remix with other trend-worthy phrases that are relevant to Family Guy.
Might I recommend, #ItInsistsOnItself? Or perhaps, #ItRubsTheLotionOnItsSkinOrElseItGetsTheTweetsAgain?
Just have fun with it! That’s the most important thing.
