      The lyrics and the opening with Lois playing the piano are clearly a nod to All in the Family Peter Griffin is a jab at the idea of Archie Bunker as a lovable racist conservative dude (Peter is thoroughly NOT lovable for reasons that go beyond politics)

      yeah I guess that makes sense It's mostly that the presentation is really weird idk, like watching the sequence makes it feel like Seth WANTS the show to be sincere even though he ultimately will not do so

      Family Guy was never particularly thematically coherent but it's notable that at first it was very clearly trying to follow the Simpsons model (Peter is a jerk, the rest of the characters are decent, the sitcom model of "learning a lesson" is followed if not firmly respected)

      And then it just went off the rails as the jokes got meaner and meaner and they started giving the lolrandom humor free rein

      Until we get to the point of "Meg is actually an openly abused child, Peter punches her randomly for no reason" And "Quagmire is an actual rapist and everyone tolerates it"

      It's funny because Quagmire did not start as a rapist Seth actually said in a commentary that when he drew Peter's drinking buddies as a sketch he had no idea what the Quagmire character was about, just that he's kind of a sleazy corny Disco Dan '70s dude

      And then he said they workshopped this one joke with him and then "it all fell into place" Quagmire in bed with a girl "Glenn, I have a question... where did you grow up?" "I have a question -- why are you still here?!"

      It all clicked -- what is the thing we are most uncomfortable about when we think about '70s pop culture The overt horniness Why does it make us uncomfortable? Because they had no fucking line between "horny" and "rapey" And so the actual running gag with Quagmire was born

      And no one stopped them tumbling down the slope of "Quagmire is a sleazy misogynist" to "Quagmire is kind of sus when it comes to consent" to "Quagmire is an outright rapist and no one cares" To "Quagmire rapes and murders Marge Simpson as the punchline to a scene"

      Was it even in a scene? I thought it just happened along the bottom of the screen advertising the episode

      It was a scene of Family Guy disguised as one of those lower-third advertising banners for another show (in this case The Simpsons) A lot of shows passive-aggressively mocked Fox for demanding they let them run those and this was the ultimate such rejoinder
