Here we have cookie monster fixing to slam, because we all know that eating cookies gets you off only for so long before you have to move on to shooting them up. Unfortunately it looks like he’s got a nasty infection at the injection site, something with which I am all too familiar. Damn you, Mrs. Fields, you evil pusher.

Glad I’m not the only one who feels that way about Family Guy.
It was really hilarious and clever during the first three seasons. Then it got cancelled in 2000, and because it was brought back almost entirely due to the fans, Seth McFarlane and the rest of the crew got enormous heads about it all and stopped making any effort whatsoever. Every episode since then has had at least some element of “Haha, fück you, we can do whatever we want and the network won’t cancel us. Here’s ten minutes of Conway Twitty followed by a bunch of weak jokes about how stupid Mexicans and disabled people are. We’re edgy!”
Er, it was cancelled in 2001, not 2000. Whatever.
I feel the same way. The show is a lot of cheap shots and racist, sexist, homo/transphobic and ableist “jokes” because the creators are too lazy to actually do any work, and then defend their sh!ttines as being “edgy.” It’s sad because as you said, Canaduck, the potential to be really funny is there, but it seems Seth and his buddies just don’t care enough about their show or their audience to put any intelligence into it. There was a NY Times interview with MacFarlane some time ago in which he pretty much states that he thinks his audience is too stupid to appreciate the kind of show he “could” make. He’s a tool.
I don’t care for Family Guy, but if you say that about what it is, yes, it’s edgy. Well, “edgy” by Merry Can standards, which isn’t saying much.
With your long string of “shots and racist, sexist, homo/transphobic and ableist” you sound like sterner than the couple in the American Gothic painting. Everything for you must pass the filter of PC.
Jean-Marie Le Pen is one million times more punk-rock than Joe Strummer ever was.
Another idiotic bigot who doesn’t understand what being PC is.
If you have a problem with people of other races that’s your own personal problem, stop trying to drag down the rest of us with you by claiming we’re all just being uptight.
Go back to Poorly Dressed and mock black people in silly ghetto outfits, you’ll be more welcome.
Rauss, did I ever tell you I always look forward to your posts and savagely agree with them?
But Joe Strummer could sing, and was not a xenophobic, millionaire, castle owning bigot….
It’s that idea that being racist is suddenly cool that really disturbs me. Racism is established, it will never be anti-establishment.
Unfortunately with the movement of large amounts of people from one area to another, for one reason or another, the situation gets worse, as the host population fears anything that is incoming and may not look or behave like themselves.
Especially when the incomers way of living is totally at odds with, and may be incompatible with, the host population…
Isn’t racism one of the things that Sesame Street was set up to combat (coming back to the subject matter of the tattoo) ?
I think the far-left and anti-racism movement have to take their own blame too, for making the racists masquerading under a political cause look more tolerable. The left look like a bunch of troublemakers at times, which combined with a moderate veneer makes the far-right cause almost sympathetic.
Yup, let’s not mention any names from the previous UK cabinet, shall we…
*Those who can adequately DEFEND themselves, not offend.
No. “Edgy,” of anything positive can be wrung from this manufactured term, would be making an actual statement about issues of today, rather than rehashing stereotypes that many are working hard to break down. Being conscious of the oppression that people face due to the color of their skin or shape of their body does not make one “stern,” it makes one decent and compassionate. (By the way, American Gothic depicts a man and his daughter, not a couple. Just sayin’.) Family Guy isn’t edgy. It’s the same old bullsh!t we’ve been exposed to for a long time. If using slurs and epithets is your idea of “edgy,” you’re probably just not smart enough to think of your own ideas, and probably have a hell of a lot of privilege you’re not willing to examine.
I’d like to meet a person who can adequately offend him/herself. I’m sure that’d be amusing for many years to come.
I like Family Guy, however I do agree on the tattoos part, it’s never good to get ink based on a joke from a show. Good or bad.
I dunno which is worse. The concept or that he is only half blue and in fur.
Alopecia in Cookie Monsters is not a good thing….
So… either the artist ran out of blue or a polar bear transformed into the Coookie Monster.
I don’t like Sesame Street or any other toddlers/kids characters being linked to drugs in any way, shape, or form. Bad taste.

Agree. I don’t want to see them having raunchy sex, either (as depicted in other tattoos on this site). I am also bummed out that going through my head now is “C is crack pipe, good enough for me….”
I don’t like Sesame Street or any other toddlers’ or kids’ characters either.
Looks like Cookie has moved from IV use to IM; so so sad.
